a lone reed against the tide

sometimes i hear & see the supposed to be great thinkers & writers of the nation(of the world , as a matter of fact,too) speak their mind regarding stuff (political, social,economical, blah blah blah) and most of the time i find some-one echoing somebody else. of course, there is no wrong in agreeing or disagreeing some other person but the thing is that they seem to be wary of what they speak (which i know they should be b'coz they r public figure) but what is it that they really feel? i mean, i sometimes find them simply to be "plastic"- like. may be i am wrong but i cant stop wondering ever since this particular event of CWG. yeah the media(particularly in India) have this habit of blowing everything out of proportion (like the headline "roof fell at the stadium" when it was just a few tiles that fell off!!!). so these public speakers, thinkers & writers they all know which direction the wind is blowing, so off they go in the same direction (well i cant deny the fact that most of the time it is right) to avoid slush of bad name by going against the MEDIA. i know i sound really prejudiced here but i cant agree anymore. i know things are not going right, the higher officials are not taking responsibilities, they are busy filling in their pockets(but who isn't in India?!) when such a crisis has happened but i as an individual feel that it's not right just to sit and see and play the blame game. i really am against these people who loot the nation and its innocent people but i am definitely not against  the game. i take pride in this game that is going to be hosted here in Delhi, India and even though i am totally against these pricks who is tarnishing the name of the nation in the international platform, i cannot just remain silent at the flabbergasted news of the media too who should, more or less, be taking responsibility of supporting the spirit of the game, take pride in the game but yes stand strongly against those corrupt officials.

googly googly googly go away!

Everyday is the mirror of the previous day, except for the flow of the cloud and shape of the wind that runs through my fingers. All these are crushed into a fine plate of hard, metallic thread, one after another. And there is enough of these threads that my eyes have spindled through time immemorial to weave a soft, flawless envelope. The kaleidoscope of webbed dreams cast linked similar images bringing out a maze of chaos in the ordered and punctuated spaces lying in-between. How much of this stupid, suicidal...rather sacrificial sacrilege is going to be done in order to suffice the call of inner voice which has been beckoning to break this thread and stop this chain reaction. It is usually the self and no nobody 'stranger' else which ends up surprising the individual inside.

P.S. please do not mind the blogger as she has the least idea of what she is scribbling about. And 'googly googly googly go away' is just a borrowed phrase from a movie LOL!!!

that same ol'story...!!!

its quite interesting to see how people react to the result of that exhaustive 3 hrs gruelling called 'examination' (yeah i know its worse than a guerilla war). some exceeds the rest and are called the rank holders, some simply comes under the average group and some do not make to the list at all. i have seen many people suddenly collapsing and crestfallen when they find themselves marked that seemingly dangerous alphabet 'F' in front of their name. i was consoling a friend of mine whose result came unclear even after re-evaluation and one can imagine how one will react to this result. so i tried to console her saying that crying is not going to solve anything. i told her to brace herself up and clear the paper after giving the exam again. "tumhare liye kehna ashaan hai..." yeah its easy to say i know. but then i said, no i know that its hard to do but then its not impossible and then its not the end of the world, exam is not everything i added after a while. to which she gave a sobful reply "exam is everything..." and it gave food for my thought. is it true? is exam everything? well then i had to convince her and said rather convincing myself in the end " well there are much more important things in life than exam like understanding what you are learning (sounds like 3 idiots but it just came to my lips). exam is just a part of it so you better take some rest to do some thinking and prepare yourself to re-appear in the exam..."

had i been in the same condition may be i would have reacted in a worse way...and it applies almost to everyone. i dont want to blame my friend here who thinks exam is everything or the education system which make it feel that exam is everything but then i would very much like to know if only 3 hours is enough for some unknown person who checks only tose things written on a few pages of the answer paper to evaluate a person's one long year learning and depth of understanding of the subject?
i leave this question open to all the 'torch bearers' and 'future pillars' of the nation for neither do i have a torch now am i a pillar. i'm just one of the many people who cant help thinking such things while consloing a friend when crestfallen.
