Waving to her from the bus stand, I hoped this be a dream. She waved back at me. Her face smiling, and full of joy. Not perhaps fully knowing how I felt about her. My love, not confessed, filled my heart with pain. Should I have confessed? What if i would have had? What would have happened?  Too many questions, not a single answer. My love was clouded by uncertainty of the result. As the bus started, I snapped out of the thought. Saying Goodbye, we parted our ways. She was going away and I…

You lie on your bed, try to close your eyes. But all you can do is to think of her. All in the darkness you can see only her. You want to be with her, you want to hug her, and you want to be in her arms. But alas, you are far away from her. The night grows dark but she does not dim away.

If God gave you wings for a day and all the time in life, all you want to do is go to her, spend all the time with her and still feel short of time. She has the magic that has taken over you…

The bright sun shone over the yellow board standing on the platform, covered with moss & ‘Biswan’ written on it. A man with a light blue kurta and a dhoti sat on the yellow bench on the platform beside his son, waiting for the train to Lucknow.

The man was in his fifties and his son was twenty-five. In those days of the British rule, Mukesh was one of the fortunate who was going to a college to learn further. They sat on the bench with Mukesh’s luggage beside them.           The…

A part of whole,

a soul that departs.

Painful is the parting

yet happiness is awaiting.

One grows strong, as other goes weak.

The most sacred of bonds- God’s Godly…

I've been robbed.

I haven't the confidence to hit the post button about anything. And so i return with very little to say but the determination to say it nonetheless.





What robbed me? What do you think it was? 

Complacence? Couldn't be. I'm not feeling complacent. Just content.

Then that must be it. 

Contentment robbed me of my will to write. 

So when i do finally get to making words the way i used to; tucking them in at the waist line and fluffing out their…

            I am becoming a little wary of the tricolour these days. More often than not, it’s the background for some hideous face of another ‘candidate’ who promises the world on a platter but will deliver nothing of that. The colours have become heralds of election season and all I can do is cringe when I see car windshields plastered with the sickly smiles of men whose eyes scarcely conceal their greed for the power.

            This country sees too many people willing to…

Sex Tourism- The Dirty Picture

Aditya Patil

              Sex Tourism is when one travels for the purpose of Sex. The condition with sex tourism is very bad in today's times on a global scale. Parts of South-East-Asia are well known for sale of sex. Sexual services can be purchased from men, women and even children including trans-genders. There is a lot of work to be done regarding the…

Team Anna has done a fabulous job so far. There is an awakening in the country. However it maybe but a bill has been tabled in the parliament. Although the politicians have taken out a lot of things, is it fair to say that its a completely non working bill the way Team Anna has been declaring it? 

We live in a parliamentary democracy. The people have played their part and although late but the govt. is showing interest in passing a bill. Should Team Anna interfere in…

            The rascally charm of a Mr. James Bond *sigh* and especially the suave brilliance that is Pierce     Brosnan. Beginning with B (both Bond and Brosnan), I’d like to launch off into what should end up as an alphabet of irony. I hope.

           Allow me to introduce to you (out of order, but very much the beginning) Q. The man who grew older and older and yet found himself demonstrating technologies that moved forward at the speed of, dare I say, neutrinos. He’s been…

             Someone must have told you, at some point of your life, that there is someone controlling what you do. That ‘someone’ could be a tangible force like a pair of parents, multiple echelons of family (with varying power and influence) and above all else, there must have been talk of destiny or fate or something equally unnerving in its gigantic vagueness.

            But never, never once have we been allowed to accept full responsibility for all our actions. We’re…

This blog post is close to my heart,it talks about the story of the most flourishing steel plant of India today under SAIL.From Rags to riches....the title says it all

A place which looked like…

I got to know 'Rani Bai' about four months ago. She came across as a woman with few choices but not one to admit they were not her plan after all. And all is a lot. 

On the other side of her childhood, cut very short by debt and tradition, she found herself thrashing through a world that didn't care for her opinion and is trying very hard to crush her under the relentless wheels of hypocrisy. But she refused to be crushed. Her voice only seemed to grow…

Dorabjee & Sons

This is a very well known old restaurant of Pune which serves very nice Parsi food .

This is a very simple place with very simplistic ambience and interiors .

If your wallet says "I'm broke and i wanna eat out still" or a budget of 2 people Rs 300

This is definitely the place you should go to.

the menu has remained more than the same since 1970.(opened in 1878)

A dichotomy between the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis and the 2011 Euro crisis

    Empire’s rise and fall, just like stock markets. Japan faced a lost decade in the 1990’s , and now it’s the turn of Europe to face a lost decade sort of situation, and as economics will have it, Europe will also one day come out of this crisis which  would plunge some other country into ‘crisis’…

One misguided youth slaps a minister,

One misguided youth icon says, “Why just one Slap?”

Thought provoking statements I know, but I just can’t ignore what happened today.

Hon. Sharad Pawar-Union Agriculture Minister, assaulted by a youth in New Delhi over rising prices. Youth…

            We are vandals. It’s not something that we plan on doing. Naah! It’s our nature. First nature. Not second.

            Someone is taking the trouble to put up a brand new bus-stop close to where I live (sure it’s election time and all, but it’s still trouble enough to help those multitudes that use public transport) and though it hasn’t been even a week since the superstructure came up and already there are people that are defacing it.

            It was on…

The government is shooting holes in all the ancient wisdom that ever governed lives: what goes up must come down, they used to say. But this year's example that the Union government is setting is trying very hard to shatter all historic records and make us believe that what goes up can only go higher. Yes. Fuel prices. 

So there goes all the good food and all the nights out on the town. Watch, all you little punks, as you start measuring your relationships in petrol-rupees.…
