This is unacceptable….

Disturbing as it may sound these bomb blasts are not to deafen your ears but to make you realize about the insignificance of human life. It is so easy nowadays to get away with murder or in this case mass murder. The worst is even our most competent men can do nothing about it, no matter how hard the black caps try they could not rescue many. They reduced to mere spectators of the smoke coming out to Taj and Trident. It is not that they are incompetent it is that the others are more incompetent and insane. Kids, just 20-22 years, not a lot different that you and me. What is it, that made then come down to such horrifying means. They are not criminals they are just mentally disturbed. We should not be fighting against them we should be fighting against their thoughts and their minds. Even if we kill the ones involves in this holocaust what surety we have that in the future there are not going to be incidents like these. These kids are just mere shoulders on which “Sick” people keep their gun to fire. Killing one will just give rise to 4 more. Like a chain reaction it will spread its wings into our society and we all will be busy cribbing about our lives. Feeling sorry that we didn’t get a nice salary, or a nice husband. Forgetting the bigger picture, that we are mere dots in this system, if one is erased it will be replaces by 2 new dots. My friends, Indians and country men please get out of your comfort zone, it is not a time to relax. We need to fight against this, genocide…this is just not acceptable.

Empowerment my ***!

This poem i wrote during one of my HR lectures you can make it out by reading the poem. Please bare with me. There are some moments like these which bring me closer to reality and makes me aware of my existence and the reason for so. Hence here we go
They tell us we want you "to be happy"
Then they silently cut our oxygen
The reason they give us is "Cost cutting"

They say we want to" make work fun"
Then they remove the cushions off out seats
The reason they give us is "work study"

They say we want to take care of "your health"
They they change a 5 day to a 6 day shift
The reason they give us is to "Increase Productivity"

They say bring your friends and family we want to "hire them"
Then they show us the pink slip
The reason they give us is "Right Sizing"

So my dear HR tell me how to trust you
I have been stabbed a million times before
Give me a reason as to why not this time again

War of the worlds

Which side are you on?
We all are at war,
War between nations
War between states
War between competitors,
War within family
War between spouses
War between siblings
War between good and evil
War for existence
War for success, fame etc.
The funniest of all battles is the battle to prove one self’s sanity. People of my side of fence are called Mad or insane or to put it very politely mentally challenged. We are any thing but mentally challenged I could solve Shakuntala Devi entire puzzle set when I was in my high school, sometimes even the post graduates are not able to solve. The only difference between me and you is that I am not afraid to speak my mind. You sitting in your bed at night, back from a hectic day at office or school, perplexed about the complexity in your life. Trying to figure out your purpose or as to why are you making yourself go through this trauma. Questioning as to do you really deserve it. Just to realize in the morning that you have a bad headache after thinking so much and you are late for office. As for me I choose not to be a part of this fiasco and secondly I do not believe in western medicine hence cannot afford a headache. So tell me one thing why do you all hate me. Why am I looked down on when I cross the road with my mother holding her hand? I too have eyes and can see you pointing your fingers at me and passing silent remarks. I wish not to be judged hence I choose to live here in this place. We all are equal here and no one judges me or stares at me when I am not looking. Yesterday my best friend here showed me his birthday gift sent to him by his parents. By the way he turned 16 this year a full grown men. The gift was a small music piece with a couple dancing and mirrors reflecting everything infinite times. He stared at it for 3 full days and then after the third day he came up to me and said that he cannot figure out why his parents sent such an expensive and useless gift to an asylum. He winked me a went on to his routine tasks. We are normal too, may out mind does not work in the same way as yours but then I like to be called as a rebel not an abnormal. You know what you all disgust me, you are so hypocrite that it churns my stomach. If being normal means pretending to love some one or pretending to live a life with every ones approval. Then I am happy in this place I want to live life without regrets and nods of approval.
I am sorry for you. I know you have no choice but to play the game on the society norms and rules. Well I just hope one day if you figure this out and dare to step out into my world. Come and look for me I promise to help you to make this cross over.

Rembrandt (1606-1669)

He made far too many self portraits.
Painted mainly humans and mythology

<- Christ in the Storm on the Lake of Galilee








Vincent Van Gogh
Practically in love with this guy
Starry Night ->
guess what he cut of the lobe of his left ear-wicked
he was also suffering from - "Diagnoses which have been put forward include schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, syphilis, poisoning from swallowed paints, temporal lobe epilepsy and acute intermittent porphyria. Any of these could have been the culprit and been aggravated by malnutrition, overwork, insomnia, and a fondness for alcohol, and absinthe in particular."






Pierre Auguste Renoir


He is kinda ok mainly paints people esp. women. People say that renoir only paints dumb women ;)

<- Luncheon at the boat







Claude Monet

Father of Impressionism
His forte was his garden which he loved to paint

La prominade ->









Salvador Dali
A man who cannot be expressed in few words,
He has a untold mystery about his works
i still am working to be able to decipher his story.
A photographer, painter what not
well this is the best one according to me

<- Persistence of memory

who am i

describing oneself might be the toughest task
still it wont kill me to give a shot

i am what ever you want me to be
i am my ma's midnight start
i am my dad's little genius

i am my friends chatter box

i have many shades
however some might seem to be grey
i all this conflicts of identity
i lost what i am
am i rain or sunshine
am i winter or summer
am i red or blue
so who am i
..............
mystery yet to be unrevealed

the good the bad the ugly

Bad is the new good that’s what they tell me. They -the new paper people. Somehow my heart or my mind dosent accepts. I mean this I public ally insulting my IQ. Guilt and conscious over night lost its meaning. They say the level of narcissism in the humans I increasing like the world temperature. No wonder the global warming campaign is going down the drain. One aspect of it that I can still digest is that for each one of u the meaning of good and bad differs. Like in case of my childhood best friend uttering a lie was not just a crime it was a sin however now we try to justify lie as a WHITE lie. We humans are hilarious bending each and every protocol to our satisfaction. Like now a day’s lie that doesn’t hurt any one is a White lie, why not use it to your advantage. For me the world is cut into two halves the white and black, 0s and 1s, the right the wrong, the good the bad, nothing lies in between. It’s either the zenith or the nadir for me. Of course existence of one without another is unconditional. However I don’t believe in the concept of disguised marketing (thanks MBA for enriching my vocabulary). We all are suffering for a virus called as the “heard mentality” instead of listening to our mind we try to do what others are doing. Instead of eating our own food we criticize others cooking. Likewise instead of doing what we believe in, we end up doing things that others approve of or what others feel is good or bad just to get that satisfaction nod. I can be said to be a hypocrite criticizing the heard mentality virus however I too am a victim of it. These books on individualism like Fountain Head many of yours all time favorite might sound too idealistic a revolutionary book which awakens our soul. I found it to be presumptuous it talks about how thinking differently can satisfy one, ironically we all like the concept which in turn makes us all similar. Coming back on the track the BAD & GOOD swing. Lets talk about the various fashion fads in the history in 70s smoking was supposed to be cool or good, drugs in the 80s and latest the bad guys are the “IN” thing. But they didn’t last for long so instead of a stupid magazine telling us what to do and what not too why not for once we use our own head and come up with our own road map instead of walking the ones our parents or loved ones made for us.
