nostalgia

no mo aces

(...yet another glimpse of freedom, the end of education...)

nostalgia

whatever went up
and disappeared
is gone at last

there won't be
another vow
another cause to confirm

for a long time now..

i have my space again
and jerks feel freer
awfully spaced again
with lesser sacked trial

Thinking

Well, this is one thing which I severely lack. Our mind keeps thinking something or the other. Its always in the "Run" mode. Even when we sleep our thought process is working albeit slowly. This activity goes on while we are walking, eating, watching a movie, playing, bathing and even when I am writing this blog.

When I started by saying I severely lack this, I didn't mean to say that all the above does not happen. Its just that I sometimes think (shit, there it goes again) if I should think what I am thinking. Are my thoughts productive? I think about studies, movies, girls, food, life, sports and much much more. But where are my thoughts headed to. Many times I decide to do something but its way-laid quite soon. Do I have the will or the perseverance to do something. I dont know. I have to think on those lines.

They say that great people are not thinkers but doers. Aah, how did they do something which they have not thought on. Probably they mean to say that they dont waste too much time in just thinking but actually doing it. True, they set milestones on their journey and audit every mile of their travel towards the goal if they are on the correct milestone and correct themselves.

Well, the art of thinking is something which if mastered can give outstanding results. And most of the times, my thinking goes in a random direction with no idea where it is heading to. This article proves this theory of mine!

flight of chaos

there is a rival inside us all that we constantly try to understand. when that doesn't work, we seek the temporary.

escape and fade back
recognition and retribution
fame and shame, a sillier game
power and control, and there is no such thing
time and money, enough is enough

creation is constantly challenging what we know. talk the obvious, hit your keyboard, and challenge me without your emotions.

punishment and retributions

why do we believe that retributions and punishments alone can set right what was wrong. can't we just keep aside the entire episodes and move forward ignoring their baggage. isnt the path shown by truth and reconciliation mission in SA better than that of our 'moderate' judicial enquiries or of right wing retribution politics of modi and mugabe!

putting in place practices to prevent recurrance is what is more important in my view than punishing the guilty of what was long past. and we, as a society (not just the government) fail totally on this count while stressing whole heartedly on the punishment part of it.

also, cant some writers just stop desist from writing to death about everytime a small event happens related to 47/75/84/92/godhra. each of those articles desensitizes unaffected folks like me on one hand and ignites the latent hatred lying within people on both sides of divide related, even if remotely, to the particular incident

hi everybody...

Good to see blog coming up within 10 mins of conceptualization... :) .. Now, all it needs is some action. :)



~and yeah, SISD sucks :)

A space for us all...

A space where we can talk about, praise, criticise or generally discuss ad infinitum issues close to us and our institute.
