Snakes and Leaders

I recently came across a story about a snake who was hit by a car.
To be continued...

"The UPA Government is the government of the aam aadmi."
-Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, September 2012

"We all know corruption is a disease, a cancer. Who does it affect the most, it is the poor. No other party has done what UPA has done to fight corruption. We brought the RTI because we genuinely want to fight corruption"
-Sonia Gandhi, October 2012

"No rational person pays the slightest attention to declarations of benign intent on the part of leaders, no matter who they are."
-Noam Chomsky

Story continued...
A snake was hit by a car. A woman picks him up, feeds him, and gets him to a full state of  health. But then he bites her, injecting her with her deadly poison. On her death bed, she asks, "after all I did why me?"
To be continued...

"The non-Hindu people of Hindustan must either adopt Hindu culture and language, must learn and respect and hold in reverence the Hindu religion, must entertain no idea but of those of glorification of the Hindu race and culture ...In a word they must cease to be foreigners, or may stay in the country, wholly subordinated to the Hindu nation, claiming nothing, deserving no privileges, far less any preferential treatment—not even citizens' rights."
-M.S. Golwalkar, Sarsanghchalak(Supreme Chief) of RSS from 1940-73
(Source: Wikipedia)

"In two years, the VHP will have a presence in all 18,000 villages of Gujarat and by 2015, we will declare Gujarat a Hindu state"
-Pravin Togadia, VHP, March 2013

Of course, BJP did the formality of disagreeing with his words which was very cute and touching, considering their association with RSS, VHP and the likes.

Story continued...
On her death bed, she asked, "after all I did why me?"
The snake responds "you knew I was a snake when you picked me up". 
The End

Perhaps we will never understand what the lady felt on hearing this simple truth, or maybe we will...

“I have a very simple definition of secularism: India First. In whatever we do or decide India must get priority”
-Narendra Modi, March 2013

Perhaps we will never understand how much someone's idea of India matched with Golwalkar's, or maybe we will...

क्षितिज की तलाश में...

उनकी आखों को अब कहाँ नींद नसीब होगी,

जो डूबे हैं बेउम्मीद ख्वाहिशों के ख्वाबों में 

~~~

जो ये कायनात मिल भी जाये तो मेरे तोहफे खाली हो जायेंगे,

जो सब सपने सच हो भी जायें तो मेरी नींदें तन्हा रह जाएँगी

~~~

कोरे कागज़ का सफ़ेद बर्दाश्त नहीं 

लिखे हुए की स्याही भी गवारा नहीं   

फिर जो इक तस्वीर में रंग भरे तो 

तुझे उसके रंगों पर भी ऐतबार नहीं 

~~~

खोये हुए हैं ज़मीन पर गिरे सफ़ेद काले कंकर सजाने में, 

नज़रें ऊपर उठाकर इन्द्रधनुष देखने का अब होश कहाँ 

~~~

The Dark Corner...

He was alone in the dark room, desperately looking for a place to hide. He could hear his heart thumping as he shuffled through different options, failing to find any of them safe enough to protect him from what was coming. Finally, located in the darkest corner of the room, there stood a very dark cupboard lying ignored for years. He quickly hid himself in it and slowly closed the squeaking door. Sitting absolutely still, he prayed hard to remain hidden.

Time passed. Slowly. He could hear hushed voices coming from far away. Was he safe? Was the threat of him being discovered fading away for the time being? But as his heart began to slow down to normal, there was some movement outside. He gasped as the door squeaked a little and he could see some large shadows moving outside, but he regained his calm and kept himself still to prevent giving away his position to the dark ghostly shadows moving outside.

A few moments passed before the voices started becoming louder, whispers turned into words, words started getting clearer, shadows became darker, and he could sense something waiting to happen at any moment now!

All of a sudden, the door opened and...

"I see you!"

and so ended another round of 'Hide & Seek'.

PS: Thanks for your time!

The Last Station

Soon, a train somewhere

Will come to a sudden stop

Bringing to end a journey

Four years long and yet too short

We can hear it blowing its final whistle

Telling us to gather all that we can

While we wish there was some chain to pull,

To pause the time; and relive these moments

But alas, this crowd and this carnival

And all these celebrations will soon be lost

But these times and these memories

And all these people, I shall cherish the most

Someday, when we remember this

It might seem chaotic and wrecked

But if we understood it all,

We will know that it was just perfect

We must fight?

No Matter,

Whatever,
Happens,
We will fight.
We don't care,
what’s wrong?
And what is right.
But,
We will fight!

As fathers Die,
The children cry,
Let the ladies weep,
And everyone bleed,
Existence gets tougher,
Let everyone suffer.
But,
We will fight!

Peace shot dead,
White becomes red,
Rise of greed,
All devils freed.Silence shrieks,
Violence peaks,
Days become dark,
Darker than night,
But,
We will fight.

Revenge and fear,
Rule the mind,
to the end so near,
All become blind.
Creators’ creations,
Burning bright,
Death in sight,
But, We must fight?

Sambitesh's lines>>
If there isn't "religion"
There always is "region"
If nothing else, there is language
To build up your impotent rage
Ego's slave
Fight we crave
Fuck what is wrong, what is right
But we will fight

Just a Thought....

Friends-Love-Crushes-Relationships-Loneliness -Studies-Exams-Life….

Immersed in these problems, which even made Global Warming look like nothing for some time, I prepared to sleep as I had nothing to do, no one to talk to, no one to fight with, the Exams had just finished, terminating even the option of pretending to study. But, with the heat and dear mosquitoes flying high, sleep was also out of question…….watched a movie and fought a battle with mosquitoes till 3 AM, and somehow finally managed to sleep…….

Woke up at 7:48 AM, the class was at 8 AM, so with great efforts, I lifted my heavy heart and body and forced myself to walk the 15 minute distance to yet another class.

Walking down the road, lonely and empty, mind thinking about the problems I was thinking the previous night, and Music dancing in my ears of an unknown track, A Thought, or maybe realization, crossed my mind…

The result was never, and neither is it going to be, in my hands, the only things I have in my control are my attempts, my will to ‘Try’ for something, ‘Try’ for everything I consider right. And with this thought, somehow, every problem and every worry vanished and a smile again found a place on my face.

Irrespective of how much confidence and determination those great quotes about hard work and etc etc aimed to fill me with, a Fact remained; I still can’t control the result. But there was one more truth; Every ‘Try’ may not get the desired Result, but every desired Result needs a ‘Try’.

So, I will do whatever I think is right, with no intention of troubling anyone (except in exceptional cases), with my apologies to those hurt unintentionally; and with minimum thinking about ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’ of the Result!

Moral of the story:Music Rocks \m/

Beautiful Devastation

Like a pack of cards,it blew apart everything,

Sparing nothing,neither the Jacks nor the King,
Bombing all the Hate and Violence to Destruction,
Here it strikes,the Noble,The Beautiful Devastation.

Bombs rain down,Ground blasts,
Making Graves on Earth's chest,
Bodies burst in thousand Parts,
Destined for the ultimate rest.

The scared planet shivers and shakes,
Like the eruption of a billion quakes,
As Weapons create bright Red lakes,
Life Drowns in them,and Death Awakes.
In this War for Bright Future,For Past's Legacy,
At stake were Nation's Pride,God's Supremacy,
Fought against Unity,Fought versus Diversity,
But the only thing that lost was just Humanity!

Welcome the Hell's final Celebration
Welcome our Self designed Destination,
Welcome the Free for all Salvation,
Welcome with open arms,and closed eyes,
The Beautiful Devastation.

This volcano was waiting to Erupt,if You had Seen,
Crossed and Jumped all Borders that have ever Been,
As all Borders vanish with end of every Nation,
Its Complete,and Total,This Beautiful Devastation.

Watching the Scattered and Raped Peace around,
and Living Ghosts and Dead Bodies on the ground,
I feel no Sorrow,no Regret,No Reason to Cry,
The Tears Refuse to come,How much hard I Try.

Isn't this Justified?Wasn't this well deserved?
This Wounded,Crying Life,This Hell's Greedy Elation,
Wasn't this cruel Death,This End rightly served?
Its Truth,its Justice,its Equality,it is Salvation,
Welcome this Grand,this Beautiful Devastation!

Welcome the Hell's final Celebration,
Welcome our Self designed Destination,
Welcome the Free for all Salvation,
Welcome with open arms,and closed eyes,
The Beautiful Devastation.

Devastation all can see,Look at the Hidden Beauty,
Hidden under the Dead Bodies,in the Skies so Sooty,
It may appear End of Life,End of the Human Race,
But Many Things End,Finally,End without a Trace.

End of Dirty Politics,End of Dictators,
End of Killer Patriots,End of Traitors,
End of Terrorism,End of War against It,
End of Racism,End of Communal Conflict.

End of Rapes,Murders,Suicides,
End of Crimes,End of Genocides,
End of Hatred,End of Discrimination,
End of Poverty,End of Starvation.

No Complaints Anymore,No one to Hear,
No Worries Left,No one lives to Fear,
Every Pain Ends,No one Survives to Bear,
Dead Peace arrives,but its Eternal,My Dear.

Welcome the Hell's final Celebration,
Welcome our self designed Destination,
Welcome the Free for all Salvation,
Welcome with open arms,and closed eyes,
The Beautiful Devastation.

Don't Give Up!

The fight has started,
And our steps are not meant to be halted,
Lets take the fight to the end,
Just keep it on my friend.

Just pull the trigger for the change,
Believe in yourself,you do have unlimited range,
Just do not give it up today,or future will cry,
That we had the chance,but not the courage to try,

A warning to enemies,"stop shaking,cant you get steady?,
Because here we come,are you ready?
Day by day,your nightmare is coming,
Can you hear the sound of your defeat drumming?
Just see,we will end you fast,
Lets see,how long can you last?

Everybody is standing up.
And we are not giving up,
When time needs us to get up,we will,
When time needs us to try,we will,
When time needs us to act,we will,
When time needs us to fight,we will,
Because everyone is standing up,And yes, we are not giving up.
