Insomnia

As a passionate cricket fan, very rarely I have felt insomnia and the power cricket has in my mind as I did yesterday. After a good dinner, I decided to sleep early to gear myself for the big day. Although, it wasn’t to be; In the space of seven hours, I envisioned Indian team in multiple catch 22 situations in different phases of my life with lesser hair day by day. As I write down this note, it sounds hilarious but I had a torrid time digging the Indian team out of the hole in all the matches. Needless to say that every time India won!

Such is the power of cricket in India and the magnanimity of occasion that it literally brings the whole nation together with one dream, one passion and one prayer; An Indian victory. People from all walks of life have only one talking point. Everyone burn the midnight oil to free themselves for such occasions. I am sure that there are thousand of cricket freaks like me in a similar situation.

Although I am vouching for an Indian win, I know it is a sport and we should not take it very seriously. But that was a philosophical note to tone myself down! In my heart and beyond I know I will be shattered with anything less than an Indian Victory and it will lead to more and more insomnia. This time probably I will have lesser hair in real! But, I am sure such a situation will not arise and we will be at the right side of the result. Cheers!

"The Shadow"

Sat down by the river side, Happened to see the shadow saying lie The picture was hazy and the light was about to die Not ready to face the truth, I was shy. The day got over but I was hell bound, and the thought kept coming around. Could listen to my heart pounding with a peculiar sound, I was lost but did not want to be loud. The next day was cloudy and it was about to rain, Mustered my energy and went by the river side again, To look out for a new identity and to be sane, Unfortunately saw a lost soul about to be drained. The truth was bitter than what I had thought, But I knew I could fight the situation out, Wanted to forget the past and the callous ghost, Rediscovering the soul looked within the coast. Things were beautiful now and the picture was clear, The roads were wider and the ears could hear, All the eyes were open and there was no tinge of tear, Without a doubt, everyone looked dear. The light was brighter and the belly had a new fire, With an open vision, the destiny was

"Aarushi Murder Case-An Eye opener"

“Aarushi Murder Case-An Eye opener” What we have witnessed in the Aarushi- Hemraj murder case has been anything but outrageous. The whole case has been an eye opener for the Media and the General public. Media is a very important tool which unfortunately has been misused by the police and the media itself. Each and every Case is being turned into a soap opera as it leads to high TRP’s. Commercialization of the News channels has had an adverse effect on its content. Blaming a Father for the murder of his own daughter is something which is very new to the Indian society. The hearts of an average Indian would not agree to this theory. No one can empathize with the family and the grief they are undergoing right now as it is an all together new territory which hardly anyone has experienced. Though we must respect the investigation by police, the manner in which it has been carried out has left all of us to ponder about the Truth. I was watching the show “We the People” on NDTV and a very in
