Miracle

Today i woke up a little late, its a wonderful feeling to nestle under the blanket in such cold weather.i brushed, ate and get dressed with in no time, then i rushed to the bus stop.Usually i have to wait there for along time to get a bus, but today a miracle has happened, "here comes a bus". i jumped in and took a seat. i thought something is wrong, such good things never happens, especially when you are in a hurry to get some where or you have no time. May be positions of the planets and signs of zodiac have changed, i thought, may be its going to be a good year from today. After some time, i realised there is some thing wrong with speed that we were going. Auto-rickshaws, scooters even some manually-powered vehicles like cycle-rickshaws were over-taking us.Everyone in the bus was looking at each other, someone screamed at the driver "Brother change the gear".He returned a rude look.Then we got a traffic red-light, we waited then it turned to green. The driver shifted the gear and pedalled the accelerator, bus raised but never moved. He again placed his foot on the accelerator, this  time bus moved but stopped again at the middle of the road. Then suddenly two girls hopped in. Driver screamed at them "can't you see bus is not moving its broken down" they looked at others and stepped out of the bus.Vehicles began to horn behind us. Somehow he managed to make it to the bus stop. Everyone got out of the bus cursing the bus and driver.
i was relieved by knowing that this was no miracle, its just like the same old day. No change in the positions of your celestial objects and zodiacs, you are just the plain old you. Then i began to walk towards my office.

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. ...
