Once Upon A Time

"Papa!! Papa !! I don't want to go to school"

"But, beta u used to love going to school"

"Yes Papa, but that was my old school. I don't like this new school. All my friends are there only".

"Its just a matter of time beta. U will make new friends."

"No papa, I don't want to go to new school. I don't want to go. We shifted home as well. All my friends are in Patiala only. I want to go back.", the tears rolled down Megha's cheeks as she spoke.

"We can't go back to Patiala."

"But why Papa?"

"I told you na we can't go means we can't go. Now go inside and get ready for school", shouted her father.

"Then what about Mama and Bhaiya?", said Megha and went to her room with tears falling down on the floor on her way inside as her father continued reading the newspaper. He leaned forward to reach the cup of tea but came back without it.

2 months back, how happy they were. He never shouted on her before. But what happened since then changed their life totally. They were thrown out of their own house. Their business was sabotaged. And all this happened because of their religion.

What was our fault? What did we do? Why do these people want a separate nation? And If they want Khalistan, can't we be a part of that? These questions usually pop up in his mind but the more exploding was What are we gonna do now?

They lost their shelter, their bread. They lost everything. Megha was too young to understand all this but still she was forced to move to a govt school from one of the best private schools. She even didn't know what her religion is but she was already a victim of the religious riots. She lost her mother and her loving elder brother in the riots. She even didn't know what death is. Her father told her that her mother and brother will come after few days and so she knew.

But he knew that he has lost everything. Everything but Megha. She is the only thing left in his life. But what will he do. He is not educated enough to get a good job and setting up a new business demands a fair amount of money. With all the savings he has, they can survive no more than 3-4 months.

He lived whole his life in Patiala, invested every penny there and the irony was that he lost every penny there only. He had been acting strong since the day he lost his world but seeing tears in his little princess's eyes today broke him up. He wanted to go back and change everything but he couldn't.

He didn't shed a tear after that day but today he was crying and crying loud. He had lost all his faith. He wanted to die. He wanted to end all his sufferings but Megha, how can he do that to Megha!!!

He had to live with all this and he did. He had to struggle a lot but still he managed. And he has got a business again but he couldn't get back his wife and son and he never will.

Note: Well, its too sad to be true but it is. When I met this person, I was shocked. I just wanted to share all this with you.

Damsel in Distress

Nothing is more revitalizing than a nice hangout with friends after an arduous day in office. KN has always been a fabulous place to chill out but today it was incredible with weather being astounding thanks to a copious rainfall; courtesy of which the boys got a nice opportunity to ogle at girls.

And when you get a movie like 'Inception' to watch, you ought to ask someone to pinch you. When you have a cast like this-i mean Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Lewitt, Michael Caine, or Marion Cotillard, the movie just keeps going flawlessly.

Christopher Nolan keeps improving himself, with even more complex and multilayer script like this.And i thought Memento was hard to reach by most of the viewers, but no. Inception will keep you mesmerized and captivated by the genius, that's hidden behind it. And not just directors and screenwriters (or with other words-Nolan), but with acting and sound-and effects and editing as well.

Gosh! I just can't stop praising the movie. But I would say before your life ends, do yourself a favor by experiencing this exceptionally lucid classic created by Nolan!

Well, it had been a stupendous day so far. All credits to Steve for providing us second-half off today. What to do next now?

"Lets go for go-karting", suggested Naren. "Yeah and then dinner at chaupati", added Samir.

Those who dont know, Chaupati is a hillside garden restaurant providing an awesomeview of Pune-Mumbai highway.

"Yeah and then a long drive. Lets have a night out", said Kabir. "Seems like a nice plan. What u say Sonika?", Rahul returned from the loo.

"What a great ass!!!" said Sonika uninformed of all the discussions and plannings going on. "What!!!" shouted Shikha and Naren. "What? What happened?" inquired Sonika.

"What happened!!! What Happened!!!! You giving such coarse comments about the ass of a boy and asking what happened. M surprised, infact I am flabbergasted. Its so mortifying." replied Naren.

"Whats so surprising and what you said mortifying about this. You guys can say anything about girls and we cant" argues Sonika.

"But it doesn't suit us. We are girls.", interrupted Shikha.

"So what. These boys always see us like sex objects and if we say anything, they start this boy - girl, manners and all rubbish. If they can say such things about us, we also can. On one hand they say that boys and girls are equal. We are against sex discrimination but from inside they all are male chauvinist pigs".

Well, she called us pigs on our face but still we didn't have any nerves to bounce back on her. Coz all of us knew that if not all but most of what she said was absolutely correct.

The world present the women as sex objects, as if a woman's prowess can only be expressed when she poses nude. Even studies proves that Men are more likely to view women like that.

Researchers used brain scans to show that when straight men looked at pictures of women in bikinis, areas of the brain that normally light up in anticipation of using tools, like spanners and screwdrivers, were activated.

And that was what Sonika said. At that moment, I realized how tough is for a woman to survive in this world. We often say that man and woman are equal but from inside every male believes that men are superior than their counterpart.

All this is very sadistic but true.

Regret

"Looking back, I realized that a very special person passed briefly through my life, and that person was me. It is not too late to become that person again."

I don't know who wrote this. I found the quote on a blog. But when I looked deep into myself, I felt like this quote belongs to me only.

Everyone has one or more regrets in his/her life. Making mistakes is the one and only common characteristic found in each and every human being as we generally say 'Its the human nature to make mistakes'. What else is in human nature is to regret about the mistakes made.

We make mistakes and realize them later by one or other means. Sometimes, we don't realize at all. But when we realize the mistake made by us, a regret is born. Some of us make efforts to correct our mistakes, some of us don't. Some of us get success, some of us don't. But what most of us do is we give a lot of thoughts to the regrets but hardly make any effort. I am also one of those who think a lot but do nothing.

I do have a long list of regrets but what I regret the most is that I've lost my innocence as well as humbleness over the time. There was a time when I was known for my innocence. People use to call me a 'sahu' (very innocent) guy. But now I am known for my cunning nature.

Many a times sitting alone in my room, I thought deeply about this and many a times I promised myself, I pledged to change myself, to be the same 'sahu' guy again. But I never tried. It may be the world I am living in doesn't allow me to try or may be my will is not strong enough.

But whatever it is, the fact is that I still regret for the same thing and think about it over and over.

And this is also the fact that all of you have one or more regrets in your life. I don't know how many of you ever made an attempt to correct the mistakes made but I would like you to comment here so that those who never tried like me can be motivated.

The First Kiss

It was a sunny summer afternoon. They came out of the cinema hall after watching a wonderful love story and went to the nearby park for spending some good time chatting. He was sitting on the grass and she was lying with her head in his lap.

They were very good friends(just friends). They studied together in school for 2 years but never talked to each other. Then in college, when he went to attend a fest in her college, they met again.
He heard a voice calling his name from behind. It was her but he didn't recognize. She helped him recalling and for the first time they talked. Their friendship started with messages and went on with calls and meetings. It was one of those meetings.

Today they were having some general talks. And then the moment came when they made their first kiss. The kiss came out of nowhere. None of them expected that. He was dating someone else and she was also kind of interested in someone else.
But today they lost some control and experienced their first kiss. The kiss was enough to shock both of them and send them back to their respective places.

And then in the night she called and asked him to meet. He knew the reason for meeting but pretended to be unaware and asked the reason. She said that she has some work. He tried to avoid it for some days but he couldn't.

So they met the next day and discussed what happened the other day. It was not a single person's fault, both were equally involved. Both knew that but the concern was why did this happen? Do they have some special feelings for each other? And the answer was 'yes' and since then they are together.

**Its a real story

The Pilot

Hi Friends,

I am not new to blogging but its been a long time since i last wrote. There is no excuse for my indolence. I cant come up with any reason. I always had a bad feeling somewhere inside knowing that i can come back but never had the urge. But then I got some inspiration all of a sudden. Well, the inspiration is often slow and quite but for me it was very obtrusive and astounding. All I needed was this only and irrevocably I decided to write once again and realized how much I missed the sense of being a blogger, the feeling of sharing your thoughts, getting views from the readers and then trying to improve. In a nutshell, its a preeminent feeling. So, here I am with a new blog to play the second innings, to 'reinviere'.
