Kashmir, a hell on earth

Kashmir has always been the controversial and sensitive subject both to us and Pakistanis. Quarrels over land were very common between countries from the beginning, take Israelis and Palestinians for example. But our case is a bit different. We gave them a big piece of our land(East and west Pakistan) and still they are greedy. B'coz of their greed, Kashmir which was once belonged neither to India nor to Pakistan is now apart of Indian Republic. Pakistan sent its troops to Kashmir in October, 1947 which compelled the Hindu Maharaja of Kashmir(but the majority of people were Muslims) to join hands with India. That was the beginning, till then we were fighting over Kashmir.

But in Pakistan's current state, no sane person would want to live there. The entire country is under chaos. People are being killed in the name of religion. Sectarian violence occurs every now and then between predominant Sunnis and minority Shias in Pakistan. Now Taliban has also joined the party. With so much religions and castes India is far more contained and peaceful than Pakistan(with out neglecting the fact that certain stir-ups do occurs).They are promoting terrorism for what? getting Kashmir back? Gun fires and blasts are common now a days. Does human life's worth is so low-down. Is this what the heaven on earth is reduced to. It is time to change the title to "Hell on earth".

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

THE EPIC - where to draw the line?

India is the land where history and myth get intertwined in such a way that you cannot say which is which. One of India's gift to the world of literature is her majestic epical wonder " Mahabharata ", attributed to some one(might be one person or many) called Vyasa or Vyas ( Ved Vyas ) which literally means one who dissected 'Veda' (religious and philosophical writings of Hindu religion). Research on this great epic revealed that many appendage had been done to the original text , before it became whole. Mahabharata's impact on Indian psyche is so profound that people consumed every word of it as such. Characters were being worshipped as role models, like modern day Bollywood stars. As the generations passed by, line which divides the story and reality started blurring. Stories told and retold, appended stories that were not present at the beginning happened, kind of regional versions. Many dynasties and empires came and gone everyone tried to leave t

Dream Catcher

Baby was cooing subtly while lying in her bed. Her eyelids are twitching quickly, and she seems fidgety. making tiny noises as though she's dreaming. Her tiny, chubby arms and legs are up in the air, perhaps grasping for something. "Don't worry, little one" a cool breeze swept the room, whispering softly to the baby. The dream-catcher that was hanging on the door began to cling to the wind. Baby's face is now serene. Her tiny legs and limbs are now at rest. She let out a small smile and a chuckle. She is enjoying her dream. She can hear dream-catcher singing to her. " Oh.. creator of this mighty universe, Please watch over her in your righteous way. Be with her now, and guard her smile for eons to come "
