Krishna - the guy next door

Well, this write up is not about any God or his Godly powers but simply about a guy who remained perhaps the most youthful, the most futuristic, a very self-assured, a very care free, a very independent, least power thirsty, ever unbiased, a very pride less, most courageous and most importantly someone who always had the coolest head above his shoulders no matter in which situation he was thrown into. For me it’s best to see Krishna as an idea rather than a God, because I can bargain and implement an idea but a God is simply out of my reach and at best, his use in my life would be limited to worshipping, something which even Krishna would reject. So who was Krishna? Was he a king? No, his grandfather was the King of Mathura. Was he the most righteous among nobles? No, Yudhishthira was the one who knew best of Dharma. Was he the best looking among nobles? No, Nakul was the most handsome person of his time. Was he the biggest warrior of his time? No, Bhisma was the one wh

Lost in the air...or found it !!

And the plane was going up in the air…things were getting left behind. The airport walls, the runway, the people, the identities everything was getting blurred. Here I was up in the air, inside a plane hanging in between a sky above and clouds below. Though I was not alone and had few more fellow beings nearby, but that was it, this was the new definition of world left to me now. The conventional definition of world had no more significance in the mid air. So, between an endless sky and clouds, here I was. There was no more North, or South or up and down for me. Completely aimless and groundless and hanging somewhere, I had lost my identity. The identity which was cultivated or rather many times imposed on me for so many years was lost in a moment. Nothing mattered anymore. For a moment I started to think, which world I belonged to. The one which I had come from and claimed to be very much my own, or the one in front of me. My body, my name, my friends, anyone I had known, th

To Write Or Not To Write

My fingers are at keyboard but I don’t know which letter to start with. What to write and what for, for myself or for others, for a passion or for an accomplishment or just for my engagement. Yeah, I am lost, lost in my direction and my pursuit. But still there is urge to write and so remains the question. Not sure what should I write about? Should it be about history, politics, economics, tourism, religion or what or whatever? Everyone is already up there writing something about anything and so I will be just rewriting and have nothing new to offer. Then why to join this bandwagon. Why not I should try something from my personal experience instead, something which exclusively belongs to me and so the total authority is mine. Others can only share their views but the author can only be only me. But the irony is that there is nothing like a personal experience in this world. The experiences which might sound unique are actually not. With such a big human crowd out there it

Ye Dilli Hai Meri Jan!!

Hello, I am a Delhite,The one and only - The Dilliwala '. You must have heard of me, I am very famous.Today I wanted to tell you something about me, you see I am a very modest person but with so many media bashing against me I just thought to share myself with you. You know 'Brand Marketing' , the another way to sell your stuffs; some MBA guy told me about it and so I thought to give it a try. Now from where should I start, but I will start with the most obvious about me; yes I am the one, the famous and the rich. Actually I am the way I want to be, I have the money,the connections, and I know all the tricks to survive in this crooked city.And I have the best of the cars and gadgets. You name it and I have it.But it's not me alone here,heard there are some other species also who have come from Bihar, U.P and other BIMARU states. They are so disgusting ,without any manners, just squabbling and crawling and spreading around their filth. And those idiots alw

The Story of Hindi Cinema

In my childhood, I had read somewhere that ' Culture is the Mirror of a Society' . The best way to know about a society is to know about its culture. A vibrant and lively culture can only be an outcome of a progressive and prosperous society. In the modern times the culture has evolved in many forms like movies, painting, literature, music, dance and cuisine. And if we look today, out of the various forms of arts known the world over, it is the cinema which is the most popular and influential medium and represents the mood and aspirations of people at large. So it will not be wrong to say that the best way to know our society is through the kind of cinemas made these days. In early years, it was little difficult to comprehend the exact meaning of this statement but after watching hindi cinema for a few years and observing the social developments around, the statement has started to make more sense to me. The way our society has evolved and the way our movies have changed,

Science and Religion

There has always been disputes, differences and layers of mistrust between the two ideologies-one called Religion and another called Science.The former is generally identified as a practice,believe or set of daily life activities passed on to a new generation by an old one from the times unknown whereas Science is generally associated with future, something new and not archaic, something more contemporary,directly involving current generations and so very universal in appeal.Also we have many religions followed in the world but there is only one Science followed. But are the above generalizations( I won't call definitions) adequate or correct or further are both ideologies contradicting in nature so that the existence of one can not accept the existence of other and so we often have to make a choice between the two. Let me take Science first. Our believe in Science in undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of human race which has helped us in breaking th
