How are you?


Why is it "I'm fine :)" escapes my lips regardless of the situation I'm in, the person who's asking and the context he/she is referring to?

Why is it that this question makes me want to sit and ponder, even when superficially I feel quite alright?

Why is it that I rush to my best friends, wanting to think aloud and talk it through, but at the same time afraid that they'll think it's another one of my crazy, sad days?

Why is it that half the thoughts in my mind are left unsaid only because of the fear that the person will feel overburdened by my seemingly insignificant problems?

Why is it that this fear is much greater when the said person is a dear, dear friend, whose opinion matters more to me than that of an acquaintances'?

Why is it that these 3 words send me in a spiral maze of emotions I can not make any sense of?

DIE- Death Is Expensive

A Tribute                               Khuswant Singh wrote, "People can be divided into givers,takers,suckers and spongers" . My late nanaji, Mr. Rajender Jha was the biggest giver i met in my life. Nani tells me that he used to give his whole monthly salary to the poor even though they weren't very well off themselves and the whole family would then have to spend the month cutting their costs. He was a police officer, a man devoted to public service in the true sense of the word. The most royal person ever. He lived grand. And he died grand. He went on to the heavenly abode last year. There was grief on his death but we had all seen it coming. Had even prayed for it. Its difficult to see your loved one bedridden for a year. Unable to do anything on his own, struggling to live  just so because his family wanted him to. Ever read Shakespeare's Seven Ages poem? Nanaji perfectly described man in his...

The Hidden Truths

Looks can be deceptive What is visible might not be true There may be hidden feelings Some might not feel what they do. Who are we to judge? Who are we o comment? It’s better to keep our mouths shut. Than to later lament. We can’t see all, We don’t know everything There are hidden truths There are links within links. A . Human nature is to criticize, Human nature is to blame We love to prove ourselves right We love to put everyone to shame. We think we are the best We think we are always right This tampers with our judgment This narrows our sight. We love those who love us And we hate those who criticize We love o hear praises Even if they are all lies. We support those who praise us And ignore those who try to change us We don’t even stop to think, That the latter might be trying to help us! We are quick to blame But slow to forgive We are quick to hate But slow to love and let live. And then when it...

The lost days.......

 Where did my childhood go? It went to some forgotten place, That is hidden in an infant’s face, That’s all I know.                                                                                       -          Marcus Natten I know i am not 25 or something and i havent really "lost" my childhood but i am trying to imply something else over here.  When we were small kids, like really small, it wasnt a crime holding a boy's hand. It wasnt a disgrace to walk or sit with your guy friends. When we were small kids, we could talk to anyone and everyone endlessly. On any topic. At that time we didn't stop to think whether we were offending someone or not. All were our friends....no hatred....no enemies..... Whe...
