A love letter..

a letter of love..to love...from love

Dear man of my dreams,

                         before i begin to say anything...I love you...i know you know this...i only hope you still remember this...specially now. i remember when i first met you i couldn't stop my heart from racing..and ever since then...its been the same everyday. i had never been able to figure out why you looked at me and never looked away then..but i was glad and flattered..and everything else a woman could be after holding the attention of a man like you...you not only made my life special but so worth living...that i hated the idea of death and heaven...and now..as am dying...i realize i don't want this...i don't want to leave you even for heaven...your arms..your home was my heaven ...i wish i could turn the time around..but we both know we cant do that.
               i know the intensity of pain you must be feeling now..and i know its not going to be easy...but i want you to do few things...i want you to smile every time you think of me...the moments we spent together...every time you look it to the mirror..i want you to see the face i loved...the sparkles of the eyes that were my light..the smile that made me happy...still does..even from such distance...i want you to see the man who was my life...n i want you to keep him alive..exactly like the way i loved...grant me these promises..consider them my last wish..darling...let me keep you happy still..i would never be in peace knowing i have caused you so much of pain...do this for me...one last time

                                                                                                             love,
                                                                                                     the lady of your memories

But fairies are….females

A married couple in their early 60s were out
celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary
in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared
on their table and said,

“For being such an exemplary married couple
and for being faithful to each other for all this time,

I will grant you each a wish.”
“Ooh, I want to travel around the world
with my darling husband”
said the wife.

The fairy moved her magic stick
and ~ abracadabra! ~
two tickets for the new QueenMary2 luxury liner
appeared in her hands.

Now it was the husbands turn.
He thought for a moment and said:
“Well this is all very romantic,
but an opportunity like this
only occurs once in a lifetime,
so, I’m sorry my love,
but my wish is to have
a wife 30 years younger than me”.

The wife, and the fairy,
were deeply disappointed,
but a wish is a wish…

So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick
abracadabra!
the husband became 92 years old.

The moral of this story…
Men might be ungrateful idiots…
But fairies are….female!

‘AM A HUMAN...

I am a human

But its been ages since I cried

I am a human

Though I walk with battered pride

I am a human

I just have forgotten how to smile

I am a human

Though I have not felt it in a long while

In past sometimes

I have only fought for breads

Untouched by pity

I have lost all my dreads.

I just run and run

And don’t know where to go

And I think I had with me

Some people till a while ago

I am not sure

I guess I called them friends

But now am too busy

To make amends

No don’t deny me

For I had to strive

I am a human

And I fight to survive.

i love...

I love..
summers for fruits and ice-creams
winters for veggies and blankets
spring for all its greenery
and rains for the showers and sweet smelling earth

I love...
my mom for her endless care
my dad for his unfailing support
my sisters for their selfless love
and my brothers for their protection

I love...
days for the friends
nights for its solace
reality for its significance
and fairy tales for its dream-like state

I love
time for its uncertainty
moments for its never lasting memories
death for its finality

and life for you.

memorylane

Once in a while everyone takes a walk down the memory lane
and more often than not it brings out beautiful memories
memories of schools and friends
of strangers and secret admirers
of dreams and ambitions
of moments when each one of us dreamt of sky and rainbows\
of the times we ever thought we can ever be apart
and of the moments when we actually did
today it made me nostalgic
like it does always
but i love it there anyways
because i get to see you there
anytime i want.

humoring MLA's...are we??

There can be a thousand interpretation to the babasaheb Ambedkar cartoon in NCERT book. You can interpret it generally or offensively. The way you interpret it is the way you see it in your mind. And that my dear friend is your fundamental right.
cartooning has been for so long the most interesting and shortest way of criticism, humour, satire, wit and irony. banning it will plainly be so unfair. Okay you find cartoons offensive today, what tomorrow- the movies, the blogs ???
Lets see it this way- this is again censoring our freedom of expression...isn't it. Calling it 'contextual' is like saying the colour of sky is red. And by the way a picture that can bring all the 'Indian parliamentarians together' can't be that bad..can it be??
But then again is it just about a cartoon or shaping and influencing a mind that will be eligible enough to vote in coming years?? A cartoon like this, infact, opens a whole new horizon of thoughts and discussion to help them frame their own view. If you make it look offensive and pertaining to a particular section it will be seen like that, keep it open to views ad you will be surprised at the dynamism of mind (not that I am not amazed now). And for the likes of me who have been through the trauma of going through usually boring NCERT books will know particularly that it was these cartoons that kept us interested still. It will be a felony to have it removed.

Humour and satire is integral to democracy and of our fundamental right to speech and expression. but the again satire is a mighty powerful force- mighty enough to shape the outlook. This means we can not afford to trifle with everything and anything.
cartoons pertaining to an issue or an era should exist as long as it is valid and not beyond. it should and must change accordingly, with situation and time. What happened 60 years back loses its relevance today, mostly.
The way people see and interpret changes with time. And hence arises the controversies regarding a cartoon being offesive
 Agree a political cartoon in a newspaper is okay. Why?? because it changes with time and issues at hand. While the ones in the NCERT books are as ancient as they can be. Wont changing them would have been a better option?
Well to conclude politicians and cartoonists are two people with immense power- one to shape the society and other to shape the views. Both must play responsible. Getting touchy on everything and creating such issues won't do any good to anyone...neither country nor you.
