New Year

People enjoyed the arrival of new year by celebrating, partying and shopping. Their hope, that its going to be good year makes the celebration worth.
But there is also another group,who have no place to rest their head at night and they know the real value of each penny they earn. For them there is no Xmas, no new year. They are just trying to survive this bitter cold, this hike in the prices of commodities. Most of the people think of them as useless and thieves. Most of them doesn't even have identities to prove that they are Indians. Women and children are in constant danger. There is no proper rest house for them, so that they can shut their eyes without fear of being violated. 
In my opinion today's generation are in total confusion. They confuse freedom with something else. They think freedom gives them the right to do what ever they want. On the other hand they don't realise it gives them responsibilities towards each other.Freedom makes us all independent and thus we have to be responsible and respectful towards others.We are living in a society, so if we all begin to live the way we like without considering others, what would happen to our society and to the bonding between individuals?
Now a days people are becoming more and more self-centered. Everything is about yourself, no one cares. There have to be values based on which society should be built. Without values and principles both society and individual will degrade.

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   "
