Reminiscence Struck.

I wish I had a time machine to get back to those memories when I was myself and I was happy!

Deliberate blunders

Yes,


I want that perfect life to happen to me.
Is there anything that is wrong about it?
I think it's perfectly normal.


Being less skeptical and more certain,
about me,
about you,
about them,
about everything
for that matter.


There is this constant bickering
that takes my peace far far away,
making me question myself over and over again
about things, that seem petty
but are  altogether important


Still things go wayward
no matter how hard we try
try to make it work,
to settle,
calm each musing  that takes
place.


Restless I become,
Give up
write some pointless thing (yes like this one!)


Sorrows keep soaring,
And so does the number of
sad numbers in the music
playlists.


And there's a voice that
whispers in sarcasm,
sigh of relief,
sigh of contentment
and that smile


CAN wait!

Osama’s death: A long term enigma (but who cares?)

Yes, the most long awaited day had arrived, when the world woke up to the news of Osama bin Mohammed bin Awad bin Laden being gunned down by the United States federal Bureau of Investigation on the 2^nd of May. The utter enormity of this incident that was carried out with such articulate secrecy makes the world think about the entire situation, especially India. Osama Bin Laden, who was on the American Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) lists of Ten Most Wanted Fugitives and Most Wanted Terrorists for his involvement in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings will be a part of the History books for generations to come.

The whole incident that was an apparent order by President Barrack Obama in an operation by US intelligence agencies also seems quite bizarre. Forgetting the number of tweets by the celebrities and the general people expressing their satisfaction, it gave the world a lot to think about the US and its role. US seem to have taken this decisive role to play, in situations that breed from terrorism oriented grounds. The most absurd qualm that first comes to our minds is the absurdity of Pakistan’s claim of not being aware of the fact that Osama was residing at a place that is an hour’s drive from the capital city of Islamabad. Not only this, the city where Osama was caught and killed was a military base for Pakistan’s Army.

The next thing that makes us think is this sudden outburst about USA keeping the operation a secret from the rest of the world after publicly announcing a number of times about their intentions of killing their enemy number 1.   I still continue to question, whether USA has taken this as their prime responsibility to eradicate terrorism entirely and that too all by themselves? Well, at least in a general case taking permission of the government wouldn’t have hurt. But there is this eyewash about USA of being the most powerful and resourceful country capable of doing everything and anything and whenever it wants to and this is how it usually escapes of being the culpable one. Although this event has given many among us a chance to rejoice and celebrate thinking that one of the major root causes of terrorism has been killed, well it also is thought upon as one of the political ploy that is being played by the USA. 

While most people around the world have believed this fact that terrorism will be coming to an end, we also find a group among us, who do not want to approve to this. When I asked a couple of my acquaintances, especially those who belonged to Islam, what I found were a reaction full of mix emotions. At one point where they are also rejoicing Osama’s death some of them do not agree to the ways which USA adopted to carry out this operation. They say that what Osama was doing and what he ever did was definitely noble as it was for the atrocities which his people were facing, but the path that he chose was wrong. But it doesn’t mean that what USA has done is to combat terrorism, it’s still deeply engrained and its end is way too far. What has happened now has reduced the fears off the people’s minds that were instilled by the very name, Osama.

On a bilateral front, this incident again raises questions for our country which are extremely pertinent. We have experts claiming that the terrorists behind 26/11 were also from Pakistan, but if we ever replaced USA in what happened on the 2^nd May, how will it be taken, still remains the most debatable question. We have also been replied by Pakistan when we spoke “Osama” in harsher warning terms about the consequences that we are likely to face if we ever try something similar. It’s a known fact that Pakistan never leaves a chance to harbor a sense of animosity against India.

So what we are left with now post Osama Death fiasco are an endless number of qualms that do not have an answer. It still appears to be an unsolved mystery that has left some of the countries in doubt, of whether the state of Pakistan the way it is at the moment that is totally cool should be the way it is? We will never know! US-Pakistan relations in spite of all odds are still constantly flourishing with USA supporting Pakistan in every way possible. It seems practically weird to the common man.

The most important question among others is whether to believe that the world has changed for good post Osama’s death or will it further perpetrate terrorism with the left out insurgent groups around the world.  Will USA continue to invade these groups which usually breed in the grounds of Pakistan, and keep getting away with it after gunning down one terrorist after other and rise as the superpower to the world? One should not in its dreams ever forget the seemingly “forged” camaraderie that USA and Pakistan share which as mentioned earlier is mysterious to most of the countries in the world. So whether it is Pakistan or any other country for that matter, will USA just walk in and implement its secretive operation there? Because they want to prove that they will and shall not forgive those who are against it?

Osama’s death has certainly stirred the world and most importantly the diplomatic and strategically important relations of the USA with other countries, especially India and Pakistan. Whether or not his death has brought any changes will depend on anything that ever happens due to terrorism in the country of USA or India or in any other country and the reaction which will be followed. This too remains the most uncertain and enigmatic question that will be debated during the prime time on the major news channels in the coming years!

You Fail to Understand :-/

I don't get it, No I really don't.
Whats with YOU?


It really hurts.
It does.


What am I culpable of?
Of Loving you LESS.


My Love is there, yeah it's
Its there in all those small
things I express and I find convenient.


It's revealed in those messages
I write coyly.


It's there in the joy to
see you smile.

It's there when

you are next to me

Standing/stitting

and talking.

It's there when

you catch me looking

at you (I accept I rarely do that!)

Call me shy, or call me narrow,

I'm and I'll remain the same.



Why do I change?

For what do I change?

Some philosopher must have said,

It's hard to understand women, They are



too complex,

But YOU atleast take that initiative!

I'm not as hard as I seem.

Because I cant reciprocate

to the number of times

you express, doesnt mean

I don't LOVE You.

Bah! You and your strange

conclusions,

Did I tell you how much they

upset me?

I wish you could

for once UNDERSTAND

what I go through.





Just once maybe.

Happy 2011

Another decade has come to an end!


Weird is what i have discovered lately, how everyone, each person on this planet (ok don't count the orphans, aged and the urchins) feels celebratory about yet another year going away? I mean to ask, its one more year going, you growing older, maybe the moments which you have had in that year  thats gone behind you, will never come back again? Times will change, prices will go high, government will change and therefore you'll have to yet again in your strive and struggle to "adjust" go on, competing to get to the standards of the on-going trends!
Here to me, it occurs again whether to say, happy new year?! or just stay quite and say  a thank you for your wish, even if you have not spoken a word to me in ages! and this one day out of the blue you say a happy new year without knowing the bad mood i might be in!


HOPE, this is what we live for, and keep an endless wait for! Hope can be an asset for anyone and it doesn't has any particular barriers of caste, creed or society. We live in this hope that the things wil get better, no matter what goes wrong. We don't want to take that extra effort but actually sit and hope for the desirable to take place.


SUGGESTION, something which each one of us including me, mind you, despise of all. We know that our elders or equivalents or even younger sometimes do have experience at different levels, and yet we're not ready ot take them. Its very hard to see and digest someone else more successful than us. Its deeply enrooted in us and its hard to ever come over it!


DREAMS, we are not limited to dream. Infact, its one and the only psychological phase where in we can actually live what we want to be as, let it be the Sachin Tendulkar,Owe that dream BMW, Or be it The Aishwarya Rai! Noone has a control over them except you.


So my message for 2011 will be: Hope less, Work more.
                                                  Take suggestions, they do work sometimes,
                                                   and have dreams, you don't have to pay for them!


My resolution for 2011 and i hope i stick to it!
TO USE BLOGGER MORE OFTEN, WRITE JUST FOUR LINES MAYBE daily, BUT keep HONING my WRITING SKILLS and GROW...


HAPPY NEW YEAR! (Oh what a hypocrite :p :p)

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

(The last four lines have ahad a particular  impact on me, as i read about Nelson Mandela in a magazine, it was this poem from which he drew inspiration during his prison years at the Robben island)

Confusion

Cryptic thoughts,
rattling words,
endless dreams

a clueless soul.

Wandering aimlessly,

unable to concieve,

repeatative redemption,

lost in a looney land,

No voices to be heard

Deaf in the noisy world

Mute among the morons

unable to

take a decision.

Dilemmatic,

Lost

and

Waiting.....
