If we just look around us, we see how we have the similar face, similar body structure and yet we are so different and our mind is the key which makes us all differ. The other day the news broke down that a famous 'baba' was arrested for raping two girls and faces at least 10 years of jail. Funny enough, the crime was committed 15 years ago. I saw across the room and I saw a man, infuriated at the news, screaming on top of his lungs how unfair this decision is and that his 'god' can never commit such atrocity. I walked upto him and had a word with him about why he couldn't and all he said was that he is god and gods are never wrong. I left the place and started pondering about what he said and boy, he wasn't wrong at all. Let's face the fact, Baba was a god afte

Finally, her dreams turned into a reality. Against all the odds, she managed to get into a college. The smile on her face was symbolic of her satisfaction. The college breeze made her a different person. She was no more able to keep her patience. She wanted to see all the teachers and the classmates. She wanted to tell every one of her achievements. She wanted to see each and every corner of the college. And the broad, teeth revealing smile on her face even did so. But the wall clock didn't heed to her smile. It struck twelve faster than she thought it would. The orientation was over. All the teachers and students were leaving the room. She too had to. As she stood up to leave, a piece of her cloth got strangled in one of the nails of the bench. In a rush of disappointment, she snatche

Reservation, Reservation, Reservation ;It's turning out to be nothing more than suffocation. They aim for development and welfare But, many of their acts, they seem to be so unfair. Do not know what they are thinking, Is it a doom all that they are planning? No worries regarding nation's development These guys are just concerned with their vote bank's fulfillment. Give an undeserving guy, a seat of deserving Is it your development or your sympathy that you are in mood of proving? Let me tell you all - This is not development, this is not upliftment, It's just insanity to deny the eligible's eligibility. And that too reservation to a few, not allThe unreserved guys are anxiously waiting for their call. They

SUFISM IN INDIA Sufi mystics are called Sufis and their way of life is called Sufism. Philosophy of Sufism believes in one god and regards every individual and everything as a part of god. Sufi saints preached that 'God is one, all is in God, nothing is beyond him and one can find God by renouncing everything except love and devotion to God'. There are some shades of Buddhism and Hindu Yogis on Sufism. Penance, fasting and holding breath are traced to the Buddhist and Hindu yogic influence. Buddhism was widely prevalent in Central Asia before the advent of Islam. Yogis continued to travel to West Asia and the book Amrit-Kund had been translated to Persian from Sanskrit. This shows that some of the Buddhist and Hindu yogic elements were blended into philosophy of Sufism. T

Let us lie down togetherAnd gaze at the night sky,The shimmering stars,The enticing moonlight,The setting in of the twilight,The utter peace of the night,The entire world in silence.Let's embrace the soothing aura,Let's erase the painful past,Relive the present moment andErase the haze of tomorrow.Hey beloved, hold my hand!In the flickering nightlight,Let the brightest star guide us,As we extol each other's virtues,Forgive and let's start once again.Let's repaint the sky with glitters,Let's put up glimmering stars,Let's​ hang down fluorescent lights,Let's embellish with brilliance,The sky so majestical and ablazeWith gleam of the Northern lights,Let's embrace the beauty tonight,Of the infinities of the night sky.Let us open our eyes wide open,And our s

You consider yourself hopeless.You want death more than your life.But if you jumped into a pool right now,I know that you will hold your breath.No, you're not hopeless. It's just that you're having a tough time to find hope in life.And if I showed you all that you could make out of yourself,You'd change your mind.You might have reached the end or hit the rock bottom,But it's a perfect place to start again, Where you can only listen to the beating of your heart.You know, you almost have to lose it,Just to remember what you've had,And that with all those bad times,A share of good ones did come too.So, don't wait for the endings,Until your last breath is about to leave,Before you finally remember,That how much you want to breathe.

"Admire your lovers, ignore your haters, but love the strangers because, if they don't praise you then they would not criticize you either." ~Syeda Noor (S.N.E.Z.Z)

FAIRYTALE BLISSIn a place so deserted, In a dark night like this I came where it all began looking for some fairytale bliss.The wobbly wallsand the creaking doorled to something known, a feeling old but felt before. From that retro dialer,Grandpa's rocking chair To those needles of grannyAll made it so clear.The bed reverberating those lullabys,that gentle touch of motherOhh those stains still there,those innocent excuses of brother Peaked from the cupboard rusted the echoes of the pastThe moments painfully beautiful Which now no longer last.Those shillings, those dolls, those scarfsand that wind-chime sound Just like a pot of gold All lost now found.Sometimes most cherished memories truly inflict the most painOhh this wish to

My father loves reciting stories from his college days when life was simpler. Nothing fancy, just 4 people living in a flat. Sharing everything, from food to boxers and emotions. He claims “those” times to be the best ones of his life so far. He has a few photographs which he sees every now and then and reminisces those times. Fun times. The easier times.Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and other social media have made sure everybody knows when we breathe, eat, cry, party, attend the funeral, BASICALLY DO ANYTHING at all.Did you even wear that Balenciaga dress to that IT party if you did not share your # OOTD? Did you even go to Germany and ate the best Donor of your life if your 667 followers weren’t aware of it? Did you even witness the prettiest sunset of your life in sol

The every-day challenges and roadblocks,The consistent anguish and self-disappointment,The never-ending envy and the unnecessary competition,The fierce anger and increasing short-temperament,The ever-swinging moods and the multi-varied emotions,The momentary smiles with more often frowning faces,The prevailing unhappiness, apprehensions, and too many uncertainties,The frequent hassle to win a race with no well-defined path,The constant ranting, cribbing and weeping for the injustice happening to you,The sky-high expectation levels of the society surrounding you,The undying desire to succeed and the proliferating greed,The undiscovered flaws, actions, and mistakes you commit,The unknown emptiness and the afflicting brittle heart,The unforgettable past, the unenjoyable present and the unfore

People immerse themselves into these glass panes, with their eyes glues to how many people are following them on social media or if the person they like has texted them back or not. They see “beauty” because it is associated with the numbers and words on a screen that seems indestructible, just because we can not touch them (apart from the said screens). They see the world through the lenses of their cameras, forgoing the best ones they possess in their own bodies. Along with that, they give up seeing and experiencing the real beauty that the world has. Within a few decades, the “modern man” has become someone who has access to the internet, something that is deemed necessary to “survive” in the modern world.Surviving is something that, I hope, none of y

Take poverty, hunger, politics, religion out of the picture and you have your ideal world. People will have nothing to chase. Money won’t be something you’ll have to struggle for. You won’t have to be working your ass off for feeding your kids. Wars won’t have to be fought for oil or land or freedom because there’s no ruling government. There won’t be any discrimination because everyone is entitled to, and gets equal. Trusting someone is easy as you stand to lose nothing. Love becomes easier. As more worldly things are taken away, life is simplified.It will be a different sunrise. You won’t feel the need to rush to the office. You won’t feel the need to leave your bed until you want to. And when you will want to, you will get up, stretch your
