As 2011 comes to a close you naturally look back and see how the year went by and then look forward (without any sense of the blind alleys and surprise appearances you might have) at the year ahead. I had penned down a few resolutions and then as always forgot about it and let life take its course. Now it is time to look back and then look forward. Here are what I decided as 2010 ended and how they look as [...]
I have been around for a long time Dune to Dune, desert to desert Keeping my identity and remaining sane I have been around for a long time I have seen wars beyond unwritten history I have stuck to the bloodied foreheads Of fallen heroes and slain innocence I have been around for a long time I have been pushed, I have been crushed Drowned in the sea a million times Yet washed to shore every single time I have [...]
They want you to stop and mute But you should scream and shout You should sing and dance Let them hear and see you They will be amazed by who you are They would try to pull you down But you should rise above them See a tomorrow that is beyond them Make a difference and they will follow And thank you tomorrow They want you to stop writing But you should keep going Write till the pen runs out [...]
There are times when words cannot do justice to what you wish to convey, often it is when you need to write about someone dear to you. What prose can’t do justice to sometimes poetry can. As a cold winter knocks at the door When the breeze gently brushes my face As I button up and walk out in the rain And a million drops fall on me I look up and say, ‘Wow’ When I see you every morning [...]
Tomorrow, November 1st is the National Novel Writing Month where online creative writers come together to accept the challenge to create a 50000 or more words Novel. This means penning slightly more than 1600 words a day starting November 1st and ending on November 30th. The aim is on quantity than on quality, because there are limitations when you try to write a fresh novel in a short time span. Everyone who completes the challenge is a winner. There are [...]
There is so much written about what happens around us and how things are not the way it should be and why it should change. But beyond the words written, it sometimes takes real people with a mission to make the change. Thomas Pluck and Fiona Johnson and Ron Earl Phillips are those real people for me. They have collected thirty tales that were written online and collated them into an anthology, the proceeds of which will go to PROTECT [...]
Tum Itna Jo Muskura Rahe ho; Kya Gham Hein Jisko Chupa Rahe ho. When he with his soulful voice asked us what is the sorrow hidden behind the smiles, many of us would have felt touched for every one of us have had the experience of smiling some unknown personal wound. Jagjit Singh’s voice and Ghazals made his fans open up and meet their inner self. He through his Ghazals told his listeners that they could heal their wounds and [...]
Malcolm Gladwell is one of my favorite authors, I started with his ‘Blink’ and then to outlier and now with his first book ‘Tipping Point’ and his latest ‘What the dog saw” in the past few months it leaves me with the wait for his next book. Over the past few years we have seen a lot of authors who follow this genre where they try to unmask what we see in our daily life bringing together facts, research and [...]
Though it is true that we are often stressed by the information overload; the internet has also given us the technology tools to filter and selectively absorb what we want. I think this makes a significant change in the way we view and approach the world. While the emergence of technology, social networking, online news and sharing methods has made it easier for news to get popular, the downside is that they give the user the power to live in [...]
Dear FB, Thanks for the email you sent me when you found that I had not logged into you for the last few days. I appreciate that you have been worried about me and have been keeping a tab on the time I spend on you. Don’t worry, it was not a mistake, it was quite intentional; I was feeling bored of you. No hard feelings, it might be just me, but I started finding you less interesting. Though I [...]
