Whisper

Sweety Boy, this one's for you
I love you, I swear it's true.


I was strolling for long bare feet
The pebbles under my feet pierced through my skin
The cool breeze that drunk the river hit my face
When I looked at the shimmering sky, 
the star that twinkled brightest broke away.

I made a wish that you escape from your troubled life
And come right here, by my side 
Hold my hand and I'll elevate my feet
Intertwine your fingers with mine, pass on the heat
Blow a kiss behind my ear and whisper, "Baby, don't worry, I'm here".

Thence you took a deep breath and paused to say, 
"Sweety, this time I am here to stay
Beside your figure is where I want to lay
That's just how I will end your night and start your day
For you the world I knew, I left
And now everything imperfect will be perfect."

And I heaved  a long sigh and said, "Baby, you are my high"
For how long I'd been waiting to give this reply
"Sweety boy, I will never let you go
I'll hold you closer than I ever did before
All your troubles and miseries, I will deal with
I never minded that you were taken
This is my own, final decision."

And the long river then culminated into the sea
The pebbles that pierced through my skin,
removed the dirt away
The breeze that hit my face, 
along with me now sway
The star had only broken so it could
make my wish come true today.

    Beautiful it was when I read it for the first time. Reading it after so many years once again, feels the same.

The Longest Day of My Life

November 30, 2015. Monday. 8:30, I woke up that morning to see everyone in my grandparents' room. Papa had called a doctor home to check Dada. Dadi had complained that He hadn't been eating properly since the last few days. I thought it was routined and I didn't stop to ask Dada if He was fine, I was in a rush to get to work, perhaps I lack expression. 11:11, I always happen to chance upon 11:11 and make a wish. The last weekend was too eventful and fun-filled and I didn't have a lot of work to catch up on Monday.That day I wished that I would wrap up work in time and spend the second half of the day with Dada, sit with Him and take Him to the park to take a stroll, he didn't like being enclosed. Old age had taken a toll on Him, for the last one year He had grown weaker. In that time He had also become fussy, He wasn't the same as He was 2 years ago. He kept Dadi busy all day long. I often used to worry about Him. Thoughts of Him gone would strike agai...

Are you in solitude or are you lonely?

There is something strangely peculiar about solitude . Interestingly, in physical world, solitude and loneliness share the same space. Think how a sort of emotion - happiness or, its opposite extreme, sadness render different perceptions to this physical space where one unites with the self. This state of deprivation has many facets and thus nuances. I write this article in solitude and find it strange that when I upload it on my blog and make it accessible to strangers, I stand a risk of getting it plagiarised. I could have instead published it in a magazine or journal and have earned a byline. Or I might have instead saved it in my diary and 5 years from now when I 'd have had more interesting experiences to write about, I could compile them all and write a book - a greater probability of earning novelty. But as of now I have no such plans, no great story. So I'd just upload it in the online world of anonymity, make my blog appear more active, share on FB and rest myself i...

GLOBALIZATION AND ITS ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL IMPLICATION ON INDIAN SOCIETY

The globalization debate has been raging ever since it formally began in the mid-20 th century with the opening of institutions like World Bank and IMF. In technical sense, India opened up to Globalization much later in 1991 when it was felt important to liberalize market norms and allow privatization to encourage growth of its long stagnant economy. Historically however, India has long preached ideals of Vasudhev Kutumbhkam and Sarve Bhavantu Sukhina, carving out the Indian model of globalization . Last year, India marked the silver jubilee of this venture explained by concepts like global village (Marshall McLuhan) for borderless world (Kenichi Ohame) and compression in terms of time and space (Anthony Giddens). When thinking the impact of globalization, it becomes important to mark at the outset that it has affected different countries differently. The impact of globalization has divided scholars across the world into its defenders and critics. While Marxists criticize it a...
