Shimmering lights in the dark horizon,Expectance of life on another land.Foamy waves creeping up the shore,Pledge from another clan. Let live all life,Mortal, receptive, expressive, or not.Humble, just, honest and fair,Live for self satiation, relative not. Harm no man, wreck no home,Good or bad, poor or affluent.Do, with no anticipation of revert,Love and care with no disagreement.

“I was sprinkling bottled, cold mineral water on my face, to cope with the soaring mercury on a train, and in the rural settlement we were crossing, there were kids drinking muddy, hot puddled water along with the animals they tame.

It’s surprising how culture, traditions, festivities, languages and another innumerable aspects of life, change within a stretch of hundred kms in our country. Very recently I saw a group of people high and happy on alcohol, dancing to the tunes of portable drums (more like the dhols), bursting crackers all along the roads. Unaware of what was happening; impulsively I asked my friend and then

No, the title does not pertain to the figure dimensions of an obese human. Kleptophilic acts again, there was this theatre act I went to watch quite a while back and it was titled so, from where I indulge in thieving it. The act was enthralling and impressive enough to put me to thought for a week or two. This post would not be comments, critic reviews or narration of the play but more of a crux,

Life in these crucial years could very often result in a debate, with pragmatic ideology and idealistic thinking being the two fronts. Living in idealism could grant atmost instantaneous gratification and joy though it may be short lived, on the other hand a realistic approach might be complimented with monotony, hardships, forcefull acclimatization but with far sighted success. The line between

With times changing it has become a compulsion to amend certain phrases and anecdotes of yester years, "Do good and do not expect anything in return" was taught, as the policy with which life had to be governed, today, even "Do good to expect it in return" looks bleak to abide with.'Do unto others what you want others to do unto you', may it be good or bad.

From the very day God proclaimed "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness", the man of his image and likeness has been living in the quest to satisfy his mind. From the early days of natural intoxicants till this era of chemically structured ones, man has been quite successful in the search for his mind's gift.The reason for intoxication vary from an individual to another.

Following the west, for the good or the bad, there is a considerable change in the lifestyle of Indians. Like the developed countries, we are also living our life on financial credit, attribute it to the growing banking system in our country or the regular flow of liquid assets.

It was after a long time, ages (relatively; after the sweet yrs in college) that I indulged myself into the 'irresistable pastime' last afternoon. The esoteric feeling felt great. Out of the blue, I wanted to cook myself something, wanted to try something new, make a dish of my own and so I did... I call it 'Omlette Intoxication'

Monotous, Everything seems to get monotonous. Human mind craves to do something, not for a very long time. The monotony, the same routine, the usual lifestyle gets to you at times.Monotony defines the way one's going to live his next day.

With the world being consumer driven, the consumer enjoying the status of a king, the advertisors are trying to please all, with their idealistic ways. Today with the media shaping an important part in almost everything one does, the advertisers don't fall back on trying to sell their product.

Wondering why the alphabets in the word are hay-wired?? Well it just correlates to the not-literal meaning of the above word which in itself has a zillion synonyms. Even the blood relations have so many facets to them, it is impossible to define or group the so called self-created ones. Every relation has a one in a million DNA characteristic. Branding a relation is the last thing one could do..
