The First Day of The Rest of Our Lives: Today.

Today's the day I want to start

On a journey far away,

A long long way to go

To somewhere I want to stay.

A place where's it's easy

For dreams to change into reality

Ecstasy that will live on

As long as eternity.

I want to sing, I want to dance,

I want the world to know

That, here I'll find my soul, my heart,

And myself, tip to toe.

I want to take everyone I know

In this world of mine,

To live with me in that home of joy,

This place that's so fine.

But what's a better thing to do

than bring that home here;

And make my world beautiful one,

Where there's only love and no fear.

Today's the day I want to start,

To change the world to make it better

Without bombs and guns and boundaries

Where religion is no more than love.

    Ah.. That's too much to say. But, anyway, I'm glad you think it's good.

    though that kind of makes me feel good, it's really more than the credit that can be given. thanks anyway.

    A very well-written piece. Starting life afresh is something that everyone relates to and you have done a great job in expressing your opinion- from a very personal view to one that is at a more global level. I hope that all your future pieces will have a personal touch. I relate to every word that has been written, except for, maybe, the last two lines. And all this with Raag Gujri Todi playing, phenomenal stuff.

So, What Do You Think?

The 62nd celebration of August, The Fifteenth..

India celebrates it 62nd year of Independence. Glorious 62 years.. So many events came and year after year the flag is hoisted and people go on and on about this whole ''Mera Bharat Mahaan" phrase. Yes, I agree my country is great but is it correct to keep saying it over and over again and not do anything about it? The ministers are not committed enough but none of us is ready to take charge and make a difference ('Dirty politics!!.. Why do you want to get into it and spoil your life/career?'). Politics will stay dirty as long as we let it be. Spiritual leaders get into scandals. weren't they the ones who went around talking about God? Where did the God go now? Not taking their side? People still fight over religion. History should be a lesson!! But, when did we learn our lessons well? The Jammu & Kashmir issue is still a pain. So, are we still talking about God?? Not working! We, now, have to think twice about going out in a busy road. What if there's ...

My first big step..

So, I took my first big step today.. Yeah, I'm talking about the global warming issue.. Yes, it is the buzz word right now.. True, You look and also feel like a hero talking about it.. and, sure, if you start a conversation about global warming or the likes of it, you become this ultimate cool guy/girl.. But, how many of us take the issue further ? Further than just a conversation? I was also one of those people till today.. I would talk about the unnecessary abundance of carbon Di -oxide on the planet and the thinning of the ozone layer, etc .. I would actively discourage friends to stop littering wrappers around, and avoid plastic bags, may be just to be in that fancy limelight.. This morning I was watching this show on TV about the youth and their responsibilities.. It kind of shook me.. I realised I was actually not doing anything.. Practically nothing.. Just inches close to zilch.. This was my wake up call... Finally, I could hear it.. What will happen to my planet? I have th...

The blahs of cell phone blah-blah-blah!

Ever since they got mobile phones for themselves, my parents have been devoted to the Idea network. Right from the times when we were asked to hand up immediately after giving the message (‘Do you know we are charged almost eight rupees every time you call?’) to now, when mom calls up as she’s walking down the stairs out of the house just to remind us to put the juice bottle back in the fridge. Cell phones have been a strange fascination; they are, even now. Everybody wants to have his or her very own ten-digit number. Everybody included me too. I longed to grow up just to get that set of ten digits against my name. (‘We’ll get you a phone when you grow up.’) Time passed, and yippee! I was now the proud owner of a brand new number; needless to say, it was an Idea number (‘ Idea’s the best, you know.’). Yeah right! What an idea! All my money burnt to ashes, with some left for a regular subway sandwich. I couldn’t even replace that wretched thing with a better number. (‘You want those ot...
