Frog's World

Frogs are popular for their dynamic behavior. They move in all possible ways. Politicians are often compared with frogs and people say that it is hard to measure their weight, :-). Frog's world is a very small world in which it lives and thinks. The rules are predefined and the limits are well set ...
A typical Indian woman has the unparallel attitude to change herself according to the situation. She is a well behaved child for her parents, she is an ardent follower of her husband and then her Son becomes the authority. As a person, as a human being her identity is redefined. I have read some blogs today. They were blogs of people who are completely unrelated, unkown to me ... All blogs has to say something. After going through the synatx of the blogs that I went through today, I found a parallelism of Indian Woman condition with myself. I changed myself according to my undergraduate college ... I changed myself according to graduate college. I change myself when I go on train ... I change myself when I go to local shopping mall. Everytime I do this thing I think that I am becoming more cleverer. But ... then ...
  • my writings are affected by people surrounding me. Its getting more artificial.
  • i have lost my senses. I dont smell air ... I smell fragrances coming out of differences.
  • i lost my open smiles ... i lost my innate feelings. I now like to play with feelings.
  • i am not able to see myself in mirror. Someone else is there as my image.

But then this time I come to know ... my world is Frog's world.

    I think in some way, all of us live in some kind of a frogs world, this world just won't let a non-frog to live. It's like

    Jump or you will be made to jump . There is no second way.

    Rightly said Iman. ... In the due course of life the sudden sullen thought of having non worthiness makes one feel shaken.

Praying for "love"

Dear Love, I am sitting beside you. I know you are ill for several days. Your health looks miserable and many a times you were not able to respond. I have been busy in my work, and could not take care of yours. I am feeling really bad and guilty for my behavior. I remember those moments when we were talking, laughing and enjoying every moment of our life. Watching your pale face I am feeling sad and disheartened... It was almost two years back when we met. I came to this place ( IIITb ) alone, with none of my old friends with me. No one was here with whom I could talk, share my thoughts and was feeling as if I am in desert. True, it is that there were folks around me, but effectively, even then, life was dry and relentless. In those dark moments I met you. Initially you were unresponsive in many contexts, but gradually I came to know lot of things about you. Believe me, at the very first sight I got enchanted to you. You were the real fashionista, always wearing in black embroideries c...

Certain Chaos

The problem of India is that it loves chaos. Whenever there is need of ideas, thoughts and insight; the tendency is to go in all directions, which finally locks the situation. I am talking about reservation. I have been watching this whole issue for last 3 weeks and it seems that no one is in mood to study this whole problem (no one means, people who are in action.) We are living in the time when we don’t give much attention to our thoughts and quickly put the points coming to our mindset. Considering the current situation of employment, global scenario, it has been hard to think for me that any student revolution will occur in our country. Last time the country saw any student revolution (at such a big level) was during emergency and then before that, during Quit India Movement. The major student fraternity of India is now days suffering from unemployment. Conventional academics, like science and arts, are not getting their importance. Since technical people, somehow get the grip over...

And There Ends My Academic Career ...

Results have come. I passed this year also with usual mental peace. Finally, after almost twenty years of passages, I have no more usual academic class to go through. There will be no more class tests, no more subjects, no more college projects, no more round making across college campus and yes no more spicy stories. You will tell me, okay you can have PhD yaar, but then I will respond back -- "no more interest". My career was never rosy and also it was never pale, it never made me jump high, but it never made be feel remorsed, it was a typical career of an average Indian student. I still remember how much it was tough to study Geography in school days and how many times my Father used to mention me exam schedules. I always disliked going to class and I will wonder if my average attendance through out my career will be more than 60%. Well, the white shirt and navy blue short was always boring to wear. I remember the first day when I cheated from my friend the definition of...
