Please STOP!!

Think, Dream, Imagine, Believe, Do...
Tolerate, Accept, Understand, Respect, Love
Desire, Strive, Deserve, Give, Live...



There is absolutely no way that a global society can provide for itself if it keeps redefining itself with newer and narrower boundary walls. As we, the Indian society, strive towards global acceptance, we keep fighting within ourselves with issues relating to personal and domestic acceptance. Time and again our society has proven that we care only about the exclusive rights of a few thousands in our teeming millions. Yet, we shout ''Foul" at every jab at our shortcomings. A society that can not take criticism can never rise beyond it.

Vision


"What do you see here?", she asked in bewilderment.
"Well, don't you see it? Smell it? or Feel it?", I asked in return. She shook her head, still indignant, still unaware, and I knew she couldn't see what I saw, at least not for now...
On my part, I just took it all in. Allowed each of my senses to be jerked back to reality! I felt myself live, perhaps for the first time in 24 years.

How could I tell her what I saw!

Retrospect


Retrospect - contemplation of things in the past. It's really unusual how the happiest moments in life are remembered with tears and the saddest moments bring laughter in retrospect. Looking back in life is one of the strangest experiences we go through. The people, the places, the performances, they all take myriad colours in retrospect. It's like the same canvas has many paintings, and each one is revealed in a different frame, a different frame of mind.
