I am always alone, even in a crowd!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know why,
But it feels alone even in a crowd,
When people laugh,
It seems they are laughing at me,
People seem uninterested,
While talking to me..........

The words may seem like those of a loser. Maybe they are. But maybe, they are of a dreamer. Someone who lives in a world of his own, cherishing a dream, a passion in his crazy mind. Someone who is not proud of himself, but is proud of his dreams. Whatever he does, whatever he thinks, all reflects his hunger for achievement. The fire burning within him for his goals shows in his eyes. Who is he??? He is me, he is you, and he is each one of us. We just have to search ourselves and have to find our dream. Not a dream that the world gives us, but one that we just saw the other day, with open eyes. And once you find that one dream, you will live for it. Come, experience it. Come, dream yourself!!!!!!!!!!

eBook v/s print......

Technology, something that has changed the way we live over the past few years. Life has eased a lot thanks to some great minds who keep inventing something for our benefit. Since Facebook arrived, the way we socialize has changed significantly. Life without Google is difficult to imagine for many. Morning walks have been replaced by treadmill. What once used to be a long wait in the queues is now a matter of few clicks. Ya, life has really changed………..


But something that might never change is the pleasure of reading a book in print rather than reading an eBook. It might be easier to find your desired book in a few minutes and reading it in a Kindle or iPad, but it would never overcome the merits of a printed book.

I can’t imagine myself reading a 270 page Five point someone on a touch screen. I would always prefer to read it like a book is meant to be read. I would like to preserve it over years in my book shelf, not like the Kindle people who may delete it after reading. In any way, reading a book behind a screen would never enchant me like a printed novel would……………………

Sunshine........

Just like any other day it was,
When I saw an angel,
Yeah an angel she was,
I couldn’t sleep that night,
I tried and tried,
But it was nothing but a sleepless night,
I saw her for many days onn,
And one fine day,
I thought we were friends from now on,
But I failed to realize it was a lure,
And there was no cure,
No cure there was for the shattered pieces of my heart,
We were not friends,
And it felt that someone had hit me with a dart…………
Months later I found myself
In friendship with the angel,
And this time it was all the more blissful,
My life shone bright with her friendship,
As an angel she is,
Her face her smile brings all the bliss,
To have found such a person, I am proud,
For she betrays my thinking about this world, this crowd,
A friend whom I would never be able to forget,
No matter how hard I try,
I am glad I found you!!!!!!!!!!

Zindagi Jeene Ka Naam Hai Jeele.............

Literally, it means life. In the dictionaries it is defined as the period from birth to death But, in its true sense, it means to spend each and every moment as if it is your last moment. To live like all the happiness in this world was meant for you. And to attain all that you want, infusing all your energy in doing so.
But in this modern world, where some find it just too difficult to even spare a few extra hours from their work, I think no one is living a life. No one have a ‘Zindagi’.
Let’s see. How many of us often have time when we sit back, relax, and have nothing going on in our mind? No tension, no stress, just nothing. A very few of us. So, what is the reason that we stopped living a life and became meager machines? Why can’t we spare some moments of peace, of rest and some moments to free the mind from all the strain and let its imagination go wild, fascinating everything that it could. And if we could let ourselves do all of the above, and that we cherish all these moments, that is what I call life.
Life is not just to roam around on bikes; it’s not about going to discs every night and coming back home very late in the night and nor is it to do anything that hurts anyone in the world. It is to derive happiness from the joy of others; to be happier by feeding a poor than by spending bucks in a five star hotel. Life is something which cannot be simply expressed in words. So, all I would say that life means…………….. well, I would leave that to you, let yourself be free and live life in the way you want it…………………..

Where is the UPA government heading..............

That’s a question that must be arousing interest in many. Where exactly is the current UPA government heading? What Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and Mr. Manmohan Singh are exactly trying to do?
With so many scams around them, so many questions to answer, what the government is currently doing is difficult to justify. The biggest problem behind the United Progressive Alliance is the call for JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee) by the opposition. While the rigid stand by the opposition in this matter for not attending any Parliamentary session until a JPC is formed for the inspection of the 2G spectrum scam has already resulted in complete whitewash of the winter session of the parliament, it also threatens the Budget session. The Speaker Meira Kumar has tried to talk to all the national parties, but it has yielded little dividends. Why the government is not accepting this demand is awe. Crores of money is being lost due to the whitewash of Parliamentary sessions and nobody seems to care about it.
The next problem is the row on the CVC, the Chief Vigilance Officer P J Thomas. Integrity is always something that is lacking in Indian top brass, o rather I should say in most of the Indians. But Mr. Thomas has taken it to a new level. Being the CVC, he is expected to check the corruption, but he is doing exactly the opposite. While everyone around is thrashing on Thomas, Government is backing him. The Government has filed several affidavits in support of Thomas. In the 26 page long affidavit filed by the Department of Personnel and Training on January 14, the Government said that his appointment was fully eligible and did not require the consensus of Judiciary. Most of the leaders seem to be against the government.
The matter of inflation is also not being handled by the Government in a very good manner. While the sudden rise in the prices of onion prompted the government to spring into action, it is now learnt that the decisions made in hurry will now only increase the problems as the Onion supply in the market is expected to be excess which will not earn the farmers their appropriate revenue. The price of petrol has also increased twice within the last one month. The government recently came out with 14 ways to regulate inflation, but one of them seems to be much effective.
On January 14, the apex court questioned the government on its reluctance to disclose the names of the Indian nationals who have stashed money in the foreign banks, primarily the Swiss bank (which incidentally I also mentioned in my last article!!!). It is unknown as to why the government is not willing to disclose this list. With this, the Supreme Court has again highlighted the matter of black money.

With these, and so many other problems behind the UPA, the re-election of Congress to power in the next elections is highly unlikely. The UPA coalition parties have also started opposing the Congress and there are quarrels within. Now, the Indian Public is asking the question which I stated above, where is this alliance heading???..............
