Just thoughts

Delhi is getting foggier each day.When people talk they remind me of those old trains running by coal,giving out smoke.People here are used to it, since i am new here its kind of amazing to me.People here are always in the mood for partying.My Xmas was OK, nothing eventful.we ate a lot of cakes.Now a days no one is interested in eating. It is kind of embarrassing to them to admit that they eat three times in a day.Today every girl wants to be Katrina Kaif and boys want to have six packs and that killer looks of Robert Pattinson.People go for the looks not for the contents.After all  who wouldn't like a little attention.
There is a book fair going on here in 'Pragati Maidan'. i am thinking of going there but i am not sure if i could or not. i am a big fan of books.i am reading Chetan Bhagat's '2 states'currently. Even though i have seen film 3-idiots i never felt like reading his books. My sister(cousin), she give me this book called '3 mistakes of my life'. Even though we brothers are not supposed to be advised by little sisters, i accepted it. Actually it was good and fun to read. You can call it an entertainer. i think winter season is the best season to read books,get a cup of tea and nestle under the blanket with a book.

The bloodsucking Yakshi

When I was a kid, April and May fell in the list of my favourite months. Not because it's going to rain and there would be mud all around, but those are the months my cousins would be here at our family house, in our hometown in Kerala. Those are the memories I would cherish forever. My grand-mother has 5 offsprings, 4 boys and a girl. My father is the second eldest of five. Then, he was the only one staying in Kerala and everyone else was in different parts of India, a Pan-India Family one could say. We were all present, it's like Parliament, shouting, laughing, scolding children, people everywhere, busy doing their chores. An outsider entering the home can still go unnoticed. Life was less complicated then. We were just ........just ourselves. Everyone you valued dearly is with you. It's like, the world has shrunken to a square block of bricks and mortar. Now it's all feel like a fairy-tale, one of the best things about joint-family. We are all tired of day's...

Youth and Politics

Our political system is crippling and burdened with over aged hypocrites. I honestly believe our politics  need a revamp. Don’t you think present is ruled and governed by the ghosts of past. There is big difference in past and present  social values.  Don’t get me wrong, when i colloquially put it as older people coz you might think i am some kind of Nazi. When i say older, i meant our over-the-hill politicians, you can say they have experience and all, but right now what we need most is not experienced minds but bold minds who can accept the change happening around and those who are willing to break free from the old traditional format. The average age of our Parliament is over 60 years. How many leaders are there in our parliament who are not from a well-off and don’t have a criminal background. Most of our politicians and executives for that matter are sycophants. Being rhetoric and sycophancy are the trademarks of most of our statesmen. This sycophantic behaviour de...

From a socialist point of view

"the private and individual is altogether banished from life and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and ears and hands, have become common, and in some way see and hear and act in common, and all men express praise and fell joy and sorrow on the same occasions"                                                                                                                               - Plato, The Republic That was the seed which grew into a big tree which considered as the ancestor of Communism or socialism (of course there is difference in Communism and socialism) or simply, you could say a classless society, where people share all their property. ...
