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...

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. ...
