It has been long since I wrote something on this blog. This, by no means, imply that I did not feel the urge to profess or opine since August 2015. It simply means that I chose to become a silent and passive observer. I was trying to learn the virtues of silence and as the … Continue reading Free-flowing hostility
YOU-KNOW-WHAT
The subject of this post should remain a secret as is the logic behind its existence in a country which boasts equal opportunity and freedom of stating one’s point of view in front of a qualified ‘jury’. The unfortunate part is that the definition of ‘jury’ has become ambiguous and the victims of this ambiguity … Continue reading YOU-KNOW-WHAT
ON PARLIAMENT
On the most pious land of democracy, A temple of senseless argument, Standing tall on the basement of hypocrisy, Behold, I am the Indian parliament. I flaunt my ‘garb of hope’ strictly meant to Uplift my people from darkness to light. But who am I fooling, a child knows too What degree of shamelessness lies … Continue reading ON PARLIAMENT

In the form of a dreadful spirit, Which burns humans alive, In the gloomy eyes of a farmer Who reluctantly … Continue reading The Supreme Being

The ‘Indian’ Railways
Many historians, economists and several other boring nerds' heads have traveled through prosperous vegetation to drought hit land in the search of an explanation of what exactly is India. Millions of soporific lectures and perhaps thousands of PhD degrees have been spent on this unanswerable question. But if they really want to solve this mystery of … Continue reading The ‘Indian’ Railways
Modification of ‘heaven on earth’
The results of the most insignificant activity in ‘the heaven on earth’ were out and political commentators from all around the country were busy blabbering about the miracles and victory of democracy. Many say that it is a huge breakthrough in the history of this land as never before has been the turnout of voters … Continue reading Modification of ‘heaven on earth’
CRICKET AS A RELIGION
Somewhere in Dubai, a spectacled man called Srini was celebrating his success. The day had finally come when Cricket would not be followed as a sport.
