The feeling of yearning is too much.. when you want someone but can't have that person near you due to 'earthly' reasons.. That wave of pain and loneliness hits you suddenly and washes you of all your 'incomplete' happiness.. But there is this positive feeling that still lingers in your heart that a time will surely come when you are no longer alone.. and you will have that person in your arms..

That was what we told our tutor when he asked us, his students, not to paint him red! but those 'commands' fell on deaf ears like the lectures that are given in classes (as we always opt for studying at eleventh and a half hour of the exam). Our campus was pigmented with the colours of the spring on this Holi. The jovialty of the festival reigned the atmosphere with the commencing of this hot month. The heat was not given a chance to spoil the spirit of the enthusiastic students. Many were meandering about in every hues and shades as the 'aftermath' of the celebration. Even we were not spared of being metamorphed, and had been turned into pinkish aliens too.

I know that getting a passport is a hell lot of job..but didn know that to get an application form would be such a nightmare. Yesterday, out of the blue, I was struck by this idea of applying for a passport. Its sad.. but such things don happen as soon as you get a 'whim and fancy' for it. So after knowing that one can only get the application form from the head post office of our beloved U.T., I decided that the 'deed' should be done NOW! And now, I personally thank the government of India for making Pondicherry a beautiful but SMALL place. Because if i was made to walk even one yard more to reach the 'goal post', i would have been turned into a mirage in the heatwave which has captured the planet, taken it in its jaws and is shaking the hell out of it. (If anyone is foolish enough to ask the question "why I didn take an auto?", let me tell those oblivious creatures that auto fares are so high at Puducherry that if you just save the money spent on th...

suddenly i asked myself what if life comes to a stand-still and you have reached the dead-end? then i just said to myself that life ends for those who dont have the courage to listen to their heart.. whatever anyone might say.. for me, i find it a fact that your brain and your mind say different things to you.. the way of the heart has always lead me to something beautiful, to some unique experience. the only thing that i had ever needed was the ability to shutout everything else and believe in the path that i have chosen.

The buzz word of this week is Women's bill..Yes, the passing of the Women's Reservation Bill which gives a reservation of 33 percentage to the zens is really something that deserves an applause.. but just thinking about the term reservation sends a certain pang through my mind.  Why 'RESERVATION'??? man and woman are two sides of the same coin-humankind. And we have never heard of anything like "a bill was passed for the RESERVATION of MEN to the Parliament".. then doesn't this particular issue of  reservation for women  sound gross to our ears?? For me..it does. The political scenario maybe something like the number of men candidates are always exceeding in elections and hence there has been this need of reservation for women- agreed. But even then why this reservation of just 33%?? yes, the 25% does go to the Scheduled caste and tribe candidates, but even then has anyone given a thought that from that 25%, equal share should be given to both s/he?? i d...
