A vent in the Delirium

This comes so sudden. Like something comes and hits you. You don't know how to react, maybe one will only realise it years past today. So many memories, beautiful moments, its like a million scenes rushing in every second. The night outs, the last bench, the "muflis casino", anandi, and almost every single moment of being together. Without him it's like losing a part of you. No game of cards, no night stay, no fun trip, no chicken will be complete. There would be no one craving for that cold drink with his chicken, no one shouting on losing or winning a game. Its impossible to imagine now. Everything will be incomplete, from the team for a pool game to the number of people for a movie. Worst part is that it wont be a perfect end but a hurried get together. To put in everything that will get affected, it will be our lives. It isn't an exaggeration to say that it would be so different without the carefree yet sensitive tall guy around you. I want to write so

When you think of it all that comes to mind are the positivism that it has to offer, but nothing in this world is pure white. The IT revolution has been far from white anyways. It's only a capitalist movement which is governed on the sole principle of profitism and all the good things branching from it are but only the by-products. The revolution didn't start out for the social good or for the general benefit of the masses, it was solely the attempt of a few individuals to start up an entrepreneurial venture in order to make some handsome bucks, riding on the wave rising from the developed west. They enjoy government perks and huge concessions in taxes for providing employment to thousands of young Indians. So our benefit is essentially being "sponsored" by the governments who don't quite have the framework in place to accommodate the thousands passing each year. What the IT industry has done best is at creating an infrastructure of cheap labour for the wes

Coming from me it might come across to be most ironical, but I see it as a solution to a lot of our problems (me included). But why not even once it has been given a casual thought, is because all the pundits want their children to have a lavish, cozy, risk-free life. Army life is tough, difficult, rough and governed by stringent rules. That kind of discipline in our lives could do wonder for the country. Compulsory service in the army would mean that every young individual would have to spend 2 years of his life serving his country in the purest of ways. That kind of sacrifice is necessary to re-instigate the lost patriotism into the youth. It would help young lads and lasses right after their school or graduation to get themselves accustomed to the hardship the life will offer in the future. I think the discipline imparted will massively improve the civilian behavior towards law of the land, cleanliness, and humility. But it would pose tremendous challenges as our so-called eg

There are times when you have a firm belief that you have gotten over something, and the moment is now a thing of past. Then from nowhere you see something that has the remotest of relation to the incident and the whole thing comes rushing back. Crystal clear just as if it was yesterday. You realise that all this while you were only running away from it, trying hard to get over, the belief that you were over it once and for all was a Pseudo-Belief. You think you are over your relation. You think you hate him/her. You get yourself to believe this and actually do; well for some time. You do so to satisfy your ego. The pride of having an upper hand and the one who has the ability of "Moving On". You are now someone who's least concerned and then you try to erase the person from your memory. From your mobile, from your virtual contacts, anywhere possible. You believe now you're over him/her but you are unable to take care of that little thing called MEMORIES . The me

Ask anyone they'll say people change all the time . One moment they'll be your best buddies and the next they will try and stab you; one moment they'll be your lover and the next won't see your face; one moment they'll say they can't live without you and the next they will be living happily with someone else. I would not like to provide a definitive answer because the word is so subjective. People understand different things from change. For some change is the basic rule of nature. If it is so, why is it so painful? But so is death and it is equally painful as well. So, are we humans so naive that we fail to understand the obvious. Is the smartest animal on planet so fragile? For some it is moving on. Moving on is to change slowly. Slowly from a desert to the green pastures. Slowly from one person to another. But it is accompanied by selfishness. We don't realise the impact moving on has on the other person. Moving on is most difficult when it is for

When you are not writing, it means you're doing a lot and when you get down to writing again, it means you are back to thinking a lot. Thinking was never good for the brains and never will be. Specially when there are so many mixed emotions- Happiness, Nostalgia, Sadness, Anger, Love, Hate, Anxiety, Disappointment. Human mind has it's limits of absorbing emotion. After which it gives way, and everything comes crumbling down. Just as in a smoothie, you mix everything and what you get is a thick consistency of something new. The mind and heart now refuse to understand the new emotion which has emerged. The last few days have got to be the most eventful of all time. There was so much to write about that the silence was only way of expressing them. Having fun with friends one day, playing pool, night outs and then struggling to keep yourself awake during the exam, over hour long conference calls, long chats in the darkness on the night half asleep, eating pizzas, playing ca

There are situations in life, the catch 22 , which are logical paradoxes arising from a situation in which an individual needs something that can only be acquired by not being in that very situation. What do you choose when you are in a lose-lose situation? The best thing to do would be not to choose anything, but sometimes that isn't an option. There would have been lots of times when you ended up hurting, troubling, annoying someone when you least intended do. These are the times when no one's wrong but it's just the situation. Everything has a different meaning when put in different perspectives. The everyday banter, seems like coerciveness; when you realise that the person was already on the verge of crying and it was you who pulled the trigger. In times when a person is at his/her breaking point, doing nothing has its virtues. There are times when anything that you say has no meanings; it's the clichés which everyone uses. What do you say to a person who
