In search of happiness..

She sat in a corner, feeling lifeless. Fed up with the world. Blade in one hand, and the other hand bleeding rapidly, showing no sign of stopping. Her tear stained face gazed blankly at the picture of the love of her life, who had hurted her, ignored her, mistreated her. On the table was the picture of her parents, dead long time back when she was just four. No friends, all alone. No strength to trust anyone now. Gazing at the river from her window, during dawn. Thinking about her past, her failures, and the feeling of loneliness gradually creeping deep inside her soul. She wanted to end it all. Forever. She takes a knife. She's about to cut her throat when she stops.For she sees a beautiful sight. The sun was rising. Birds were flying in the sky. The leaves of trees moving silently with the wind, whispering to each other. The sky getting brighter and brighter. And it inspires her. Gives her some hope. Hope, for a new beginning. For a new life. So, she controls her tears, washes her face, cleans her wounds caused by the blade and decides to move on. To go out in the world and make a living.  Because she has trust on herself, and she knows she can do it. She regains her confidence. And here she is, sitting on the terrace sipping on a cup of coffee, smiling at the old, happy memories of her love, and laughing a tremendous laugh over their jokes. She's smiling because it happened, and is feeling beautiful from inside. Because she has become mature. Because, she has changed from a mere girl to a brave woman!

Nothing lasts forever.

Hey, back after a long time. But a beautiful memory just grabbed my attention, and I just couldn't resist writing on it! I went to the 28th  National Convention organised by SPIC MACAY, a famous society for the promotion of Indian culture amongst youth. It was an enriching experience, and we stayed in NIT Karnataka. The place was extremely serene and beautiful! We were allowed to visit the beach nearby, and I was filled with ecstasy at the very mere thought of visiting the beach. I got a chance when everyone was away for yoga. It was about 5 am in the morning and the sun was rising. Suddenly gripped with excitement, I stuffed some snacks, my diary and my water bottle in my bag and rushed off to the beach. WOW. This was the only word that I could utter when I finally reached the beach.I exclaimed when I stepped on the soft sand of the beach.  The sun was rising, and the scene was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I further took steps towards the cold, salt...

Problems of a bookworm!

 Writing after a really long gap. Does it ever happen that you're comfortably settled in your bed with a DAN BROWN   book in your hand, totally engrossed in it and suddenly, lights off! And then you're reminded by your angry mom that it is 12 am, and you have to go to school the next day. Every ardent book reader has at some point in their life faced such problems. I find myself  reading in the light of the fridge at 3 am.      The most inhuman torture was my almirah eventually locked, and I had to spend my entire vacations without books (except the fact that i found the almirah's key one day and quietly took some books). A major problem of a bookworm is the trauma which occupies you after reading a book, which is worsened when you read another book and get overwhelmed by its trauma, too. Everything around you seems to be different, and sometimes you become so influenced that you compare real people with fictional characters. Some books l...

Rs. 28 is the poverty line? Lol, that means even the roadside beggar who earns 30 rupees per day is not poor.

Bringing down the poverty line is no doubt a harsh joke played on the poor. This move has inevitably led to thousands of people deprived of the benefits associated with people below the poverty line. Our great government is trying to show that many people have come out of poverty all these years, by lowering the poverty line.  After the disturbing statement by congress spokesman Raj Babbar, who said, "One can have a full meal for Rs.12" and the congress Rajya Sabha member Rasheed Masood's statement "You can eat well in Rs.5 in Delhi", I think that these people seem to live in a bygone era. Even a minister from Assam has seemed to join the line, by commenting that anyone can have a full meal in Rs.20. Have they become so austere that showing a little sensitivity towards the plight of the poor is too much for them? Such pretentious behavior needs to witness strong condemnation. Such derisiveness towards the poor completely shows the lack of connectivity and sensi...
