Mandate......

Yesterday was the day before the People's Day.
They will have the power to rise against the atrocities,corruptions and crimes.
And against the lunatic,impostor mandarins.
They will have the power to choose the man for the people,by the people and to the people.
Will the incumbent be toppled?Will it be a change of colour?Will it be a shift of paradigm?
The people will decide.

But yesterday was not like the other days.
The streets were relatively less crowded & calm too.
The Gunmen had taken over.
Their stoic faces and automatic killer weapons raised doubts among the passers by.
The lovers who walk the same street day to day were not feeling easy.
They were talking in sotto voice.Something was causing a tremor inside them.
It was raining and the cacophony of the thunder tranformed the ambiance gloomy.
Was it a sense of premonition or was it symbolizing the strength of people and the change?
The time will tell whether the people have been strangled or they have won.

great one ........ the fear has taken over the land ....... voice of the people is getting muffled ..with none the loudest ...... fear prevails ... fear of uncertainty ... fear of the unknown ... our society is so multicultural ... our politics are an embodiment of that at the national level ... just hope .... India Prevails ! the demography of our society is changing ... and none for the better ...... let regional biases be squashed aside and a nationalistic tide sweep over our country ....... let India be One.... let us be united against crime ,poverty .. and all other ailments of this land... we need to unite ... stand together ...... or divided we shall fall !

great one mate ...... ;-) :-)

What an apt masterpiece...

and timely too...

politically correct as you are... I too hail the biggest democratic exercise on this planet...


And let regionalism ( minus the bitter sentiments ) define the course of multi-faceted nationalism..

let the voices of people be heard..

as they cry in unison...

and DJ...

Sometimes the woman is the only man!!!

three cheers!!

riddles...??

Why does the Nature unleash Her fury and unveil the miseries? Who is the Omnipotent?Who makes us to cringe and we feel so defenseless at times? What the heck Science do?And the Satellites? What is there in literature while people remain illiterate mostly? Why some kids tiff over the candyfloss while some others ordeal is to fill their tummies? What is there in the late-night jives while the street children cannot sleep? And their cries remain unheard,neglected? Why the glittering sky-scrapers shine holding their heads high while the thousands of shelter are inundated? What is essential in the big-screen TV and MTV tantrums while the house-hold maid is being raped? Do the people elate when their leaders recriminate? Why romance is ephemeral?And the twilight? Why the guns are so immaculate? And the brave hearts fight till kingdom comes? Why my cigarette burns down so quickly? And the thoughts...they die? " There’s a big a big hard sun beating on the big people in the big hard world...

Emancipating....

The line that lingers...."It's better to burn out than to fade away..." The blacksmith is relentless at his work....day in and day out. The shrill periodic metallic noise subduing the clamour of the strangers.... The seamstress weaving a motley coat....the exuberance of colourful cotton threads..... A character is moulding into the character and its inner voice is in its highest pitch... The mirror is shattered ironically. Multiple facial images that appear....synonymous to the multiple character dwelling in one's self.... The pragmatist,altruist,beguiling and perhaps puerile.... And the ominous,ugly one who is coercing into the void like the rippling oceanic waves wiping the fragile sand castle from the shore. Call is now from the omnipotent self in quest of the El-dorado. Thriving on every success.Accepting the challenge of the inscrutable,prolixious road ahead and from the self-destructing self. The mind is educating and in the end revelry is awaiting.... The line ...

An escapist and hounding reality...

The two kittens were fighting and scratching each other... Now they are in sleep..a square meal..and their mother is gone.. The vitality has already begun.. The time in between..I didn't realize... Smitten by a grotesque feeling.. Lost somewhere..stuck somewhere... The rescue route..untraveled..has never been tried in fact... I watched the man who forgot his meal-box in haste to catch the daily train... I have seen the wayfarer..scrounging through his map.. I have seen people strange.. Speeding high.. Voluptuous fly.. Basking in the sunset-canvas-sky... The deepest eyes..darkest shadows behind.. And the man who sees it with an intense try.. The time in between...I didn't realize...
