Across the border

By at


                


Has it ever occurred to you that, beyond those borders,
there are men, women and children of God, just like you and me!

  • Men, struggling hard for their livelihood..
  • Men, saving their hard earned money, for a better tomorrow..
  • Men and women, procreating a future generation, that is free from the evil clutches of war and terrorism..
  • Children going to school, everyday, so that they could bring an end to their parent's poverty..
  • Teenagers, falling in love with their hearts and hoping for a way out of this forsaken place, before it eventually claims their lives..
  • Parents, worrying about their kids, if they would ever return home, safely or end up being blown into pieces by a suicide bomber..
  • Elderly people, reminiscing their good old days of Hindustan before partition..
  • and wishing "how these 70 odd years of separation could turn out to be a nightmare, from which, they are desperate to wake up from.."
  • Humanitarians, pleading for peace, and getting killed for no faults of their own..
 And then, there are also terrorists, obviously, exploiting the vulnerable climate to their needs and creating a bed for war. War is a multi-billion dollar industry and its products cannot be exhibited only in the independence and republic day parades. It has to be triggered to create a tension and profit. And terrorism, just does that, perfectly.

Terrorism is absolutely condemn-able and a blot on the progress of the humanity. But war is just an upgraded and notorious version of terrorism. It has to be condemned too, equally.

And you thought war was like watching a cricket match soaked in nail biting finishes. But it doesn't work like that way, simply because you don't get to watch the tyranny of war through your eyes. Of course, we have those sympathizers, who readily type in "RIP", "JaiHind" in those comment boxes and feel that they have done a very patriotic duty for their country. If you really wanna know the pain, seek an army personnel's family and ask their honest opinion. And not to mention the financial strain, it puts on a nation like ours. Who knows, our battlefields could turn out to be the testing grounds for the untested nuclear arms. We have always been endowed with the right ingredients for the perfect recipe for a massive disaster, throughout history. The consequences could just be unimaginable.
                 

And you cannot generalize a nation with a few of its terrorist groups and create a war-mongering barricade of inept journalists and stupid commoners, giving their moronic opinion on military policies of a nation. If you seriously wanna try that, you should have a look at your own nation's pathetic record of lynching and killing fellow country men, for a mere excuse of having hurt their personal sentiments, in the past few years. Maybe, we should go to war with ourselves, first to clear those terrorists in our home soil.


Humanity knows no boundaries. These borders were all conceived in our minds. They don't really exist. Someone across the border, thinks and acts the same weird way, as you do. Because, we are all of one species. We keep forgetting that basic truth, very often.

Say No to War and Stop watching media. You are better off, peacefully.

Fly with me...

Will you follow my tail? Fly with me Take my wings free. I will take you somewhere, where there is nothing. No air to inhale, No water to quench, No body to be caged in, Nobody to envy, Nobody to hate, Everybody to love. But no way back, Yet you can traverse through the other route. Will you come? You will regret having spilt your blood here. Lets make it a memorable voyage! Falling down the Everest, Crawling through green meadows, Floating above misty clouds, Walking on transparent waters, Sleeping with minds closed, Lets derive joy from oddness. You know, the time, you were born, you didn't know, you were born. Likewise, you wouldn't know this too. Its a pleasure;Its an orgasm! Its a freedom from the bondage! How would immortals taste it? How would mortals know it? Poor world! Pathetic souls! Everything gain significance only after its loss. Its not the same with life, though the same with DEATH. Why do you fear to relish an elixir? Come, Lets invade the next Hell! P.S. I a

Just Hate This!

Today was not a good day at the college..after all when had it been good when there is a viva?? I hate them so much..Bcoz the reason is I am somewhat poor in practical things..And to know why I am poor in those, my attendance will solve the mystery.. I love studying for theory exams(I really mean it!!).. Basically I love working hard .. I just love those pre-exam days when I go on without a stop for more than 14 hrs a day.. Now in this pre final, we write three subjects viz. ENT, Ophthalmology, PSM(preventive & Social Medicine).. I will appear for those in January ,probably 23rd.. So I just hate these days with no real hard things to do .. I know there's a hell of things to be known yet I don't feel like grabbing them to my brain disk.. Yes I am feeling Lazy!! And coming back to today's exam, I had to record the case from the patient and present it before the professor..the case was recorded well(courtesy:case sheet and friends!!:D:D) and when it came to presenting ,

I was comfortably numb & dumb, But this atrocious crust made me succumb! How pure I was in that womb? Will my flesh decay in my tomb? The skin embossed with the spines in line, I knew , I am the porcupine! Of bleeding others , involuntarily, I feel heavy with cardiomegaly! Touching me , Why do you regret? Don't you know , its my reflex? How would you , poor mortal! Only HE knows the way I feel! The sun & the moon takes rest, but my eyes are spared from its zest! Dwelling under this blanket of gloom, now , it has become my doom! I am shutting down my heart! There's none around me unhurt! I don't wish to start to again! I would better end my lively pain! this post is to all the victims of the porcupine[thats me!];I have hurt almost everyone around me, please forgive me!! There's a hell of things pricking inside the porcupine.Trust me!! GOD SAVE ALL!!

Inebriated

Hanging by the watch's minute hand, we were exploring our own land; Too slowly crawled the clock, Our brains were fixed in a block; The state of steadiness measured in terms of pegs, we flew around with wings pinned to our legs; Out came the words from the inside, that crenelated the heart in vitro quite wide; From dumb to a chatter box, cowardice to courage, this OH-fluid made our neurones outrage; Our souls confessed our sins kneeling down, Yet our exterior dressed in the mask of a clown; We see an aureole around every face, bcoz the Inner God emerges out from the surface; We let ourselves ruled by the uninhibited subconscious, and slaughter our cruel inhibited conscious;

The Perfect SPLASH!

The sun was back deep under the ocean.It was now the turn of the moon.And the yellow monochrome light faded into dusky white and the shadows vanished into oblivion.The bright blue of the sea into dark black echoing the poorly inflamed orb. On the other side of the ocean were a couple of shadows crawling on the lonely shores.Of their shadows ,one was lengthier and the other a bit shorter.But the shadows of their souls were very much similar and seemed to merge inside each other. ZOOMING IN VIA GOOGLE EARTH... After a brief walk on the sand hardened by the galloping tears of the ocean, we turned back to see our own footprints fighting to triumph over the waves of time.I said, " we will last an eternity living in serenity" , the only time I used my tongue to converse ,that evening. She smiled at me and we held hands and walked towards the small table, interlocked. TRIIIINGGGGG....screeched something in my pocket.I took it out and switched it off. "Honey , what was that?&

Life in a Medico's Shoes

By at
Prologue: What do you think of medicos??They are exceptional hard workers striving for more than 18 hrs a day and barely sleep the stipulated 6 hrs.Brilliant,bright,eminent,excellent etc..Is this what you think of medicos?? If yes, give a second thought and read the following with eyes wide open.If no, still you will have to read with eyes slightly open atleast the epilogue. Inside the four walls , there were some teenagers sitting in rows and columns deserting the anterior segments of the wooden furnitures. Most of them were staring into a black painted canvas where the eldest of the experienced campaigner was playing his magic with one hand with the brush and his cacophonous yet seducing voice from his habituated vocal cords. 1-Behind the empty front row of wood, some look as if being hypnotized by the spell of the professor. As calm as the wise, rock as the diamond , they stay unmoved, uninhibited even by the flies ,parked over their nose ,showering the millions of infectious path
