Across the border

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.

Dig into the past

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...

ANGEL

I wish to talk my mind to the one.. But I have got none. I wish to blog my mind.. But I haven't got time. I wish to die now.. But I have got burdens. Now I wish to live.. But I sob over my inability. I feel fragile and futile. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. To guide me in the light too.. To hear my inner insane talks.. To perceive the mazes of my mind.. I am awaiting an ANGEL.. But did I avert any already??

Opportunistic Pathogen

Staring at the death , inevitable he still believes, he is capable; The present and the past has been a sorrow; And there will be no tomorrow; He scanned around for a light that would save his plight; It was dark all around and a star fell to the ground; Its intensity adulterated with evil; Now to live , he has to kill; In this survival race, the weak lose their face; The parasite invades the host; An upsurge among the pest; On a wrong axis, the people revolve; His dark soul will never evolve; From the bad , the good deflects; From his body , the malignant image reflects; He lives a day more at the cost of an inocent core!

Love, Live and Care...

Why did I come back, when I had already waved goodbye? This is not the first time, its happening with me. I had fought with people,verbally and mentally(with silence),who mean so much to me in my life, only to find them knock my doors again the next day. I have had no other option but to stand with my arms wide open to welcome them back and forget everything that had spilt on the ground. Bcoz letting them out is just like ripping ur vertebrae out and feeding them to the dogs. For they hold inside them is a part of you, your secrets, your thoughts. And losing them is just weakening yourself. And I come back here to the blogville not for any of the above reason, simply bcoz I had run out of souls to share my soul. I know its just a temporary phase and everyone will have to face the temporary shift. I had myself been involved in consoling people here whenever they feel low and it was just my turn to be in the receiving end. We human beings need something more important than air. Its CARE...

We might as well be Strangers....

I see in your eyes something malignant. Why don't you spit it out? Right on my face, rather than on my ass. Prick my heart, if that's your choice, from the anterior, though! There's something more worse than hatred, I realize it now, quite late. Its your kiss of indifference, you unleash upon me. The eye of a stranger, you stare at me. Have you lost your past? Didn't our days last? where and why have you gone? Am I incompatible with the souls of the universe? Don't ever prove me wrong! I can move without you. I have shoulders to cry. Hands to hold. Friends to hug. But remember one thing, I never said "Goodbye"..... this post is dedicated to my roomie , for having been on my side through hard times, erasing my loneliness of me, though he didn't know whats going inside me!

i Don't Exist..

The eternal love for silence only aggravates the questions of the others.. The questions that never reap answers, & the answers that never trigger the solutions.. And the hunt goes on for a prey that never existed.. The prey, I pray for.. The prey, I pray to.. The prey, I stare into, inside my own reflections.. The race between the two titans, of the wicked mind & the mighty heart .. one would be sold a slave to the other.. & I would be indebted to the thorns forever, for I let my mind assassinate the heart!! It seems I am flawed again, as usual.. Trying to grasp the enigmatic human nature , all I gained was a little heaviness atop.. & all I lost was my soul for rent !! Simply.. i Don't Exist ..
