Home

Home, the several connotations with which this word is associated are enough to dazzle someone into a reverie of mixed emotions, of familiar faces, of friendly words, of a place which would forever embrace us with warmth whenever we choose to return. We can spend an eternity abroad but our feet would always guide us home, and when we do we shall be enveloped with genuine exultation...
But when you do return you’d find that you’ve replaced the old with the new, and people in front of whom you could once pour your heart out, have been turned into strangers...You’d find that you’ve lost the people who once defined your life, and you don’t like this new ‘definition’ which has been embossed upon your existence. But you cannot get rid of it, its stuck...you are forever doomed, for things can never go back to how they were... Life isn’t a video tape which would have a rewind button...however hard you may wish it to be...
As innocence began to slowly mould itself into sarcasm, praise transformed into derision, love for all changed into debauchery, you found that you’ve lost your old self in the dark abyss which constitutes of who you are now... No longer pure, no longer chaste and people would say that you’ve “Changed”. But you’ve not changed; you’re a different person altogether. You are the contorted version of your former being.
Soon home would cease to be home, for everything in this world is transient...the pivot around which your life revolves at this particular moment may soon turn out to be just another juncture in your journey...and you’d be left aimless...thrown out into the ‘Big bad world’, out to fend for your own...Security would become a fictitious notion, which you’d never come across... Those who gave you a sense of safety would have passed away; they weren’t able to save their own lives from the constant barging of time...and neither will you...

अँधेरा

हम तोह दुनियादारी के चंगुलों में फस्स कर, ज़िन्दगी को ही भुला बैठे, जो चाहा था की कलम से हो ज़िन्दगी , उसी कलम को सजा ए मौत सुना बैठे... हम ऐसे अंधेरो में बस चुके है, जहां दिये जलते नहीं, फिर  भी यह ज़ालिम दिल ने, दिवाली का इंतज़ार करना सिख दिया... अरे कलम से निकलती शब्दों की दरिया सूख चुकी है, पर यह कमबख्त आँखों ने आंसुओ से लफ्ज़ बयां करना सिख दिया. 

The Box Theory

Introduction ‘Think outside the box’ is a quote covering the crux of many entrepreneurial talks, however such a quote leaves us hanging in the abyss of ambiguity rather than moving towards any sort of productivity. Thinking outside the box presumes the existence of a box, and the fact that we are able to think ‘outside’ the box assumes the existence of a single box. Thereby, we tend to believe that most humans think within a single box, that their thoughts and actions are recurring in nature. To think outside the box would amount to intellectual salvation, because we’re able to shed our conventional outlook. However, it cannot be assumed that people who ‘think outside the box’ don’t really think the same thing. Therefore, people who try and think outside ‘the box’ end up in creating little boxes of their own where their like ideas are able to find peace that arises from mutual understanding. With the sheer diversity of thoughts prevalent in our world, the possibility of there bei...

Chura liya....

As the world frets on issues of supposedly greater importance such as the Indian elections, the strain in diplomatic relations with the US and the emergence of a constipated Amir Khan, I find myself reminded of a certain incident which remains freshly engraved within my heart. An incident which made me lose faith in all of humanity...teaching me that self interest is primeval amongst Humans... Even a dementor cannot give me the chills as can the mere memory of that incident...and it left upon me a mental scar...changing me...altering life as it should have been and now I shall recount my dreadful experience for all to hear... An exasperated cry could be heard reverberating from the playground of Sector 31 as dragoon had once again defeated all its opponents. A smirk came about my face as I saw that my beyblade was the last man standing..."We understand each other...dragoon and me" I said...while others looked on feeling thoroughly abysmal..."He does whatever I tell...
