Do you wish?

Everyone has a number of wishes, right? Students wish for grades, Professionals wish for money, Politicians wish for power, and so on. Have you ever imagined yourself wishing for a gun? A real gun, which can kill a living object. And let me clear when I talk about a wish here, that wish is having higher level of necessity in life. Nope, you might never will imagine that. Do you know why? Because you live in a privileged world.

A couple of days ago I watched a show called VICE. Its a documentary kind of show which narrates real life experiences of people living in troubled world. They showed that kids of age ranging from 7 to 12 were using riffles to save their villages. Yes, this is the real condition of the people living in places like Afghanistan and terror affected regions all over the world. These kids have no option but take up these weapons to protect their loved ones. 


This is kinda ironic, right? A kid from developed world needs a gun as well as a kid from so called 3rd world, just the difference is, one needs to overcome boredom while another need to survive. Is it the kid's fault that he is born in that nation? We talk about how all humans are equal and how there should be equality regarding opportunities and basic amenities. feels like bullshit to me. These things have to be changed. Because if we don't change them, they will change us. World war II is the best example of that. 

So I started this post with a question regarding WISH. So next time whenever you wish or rather pray to god for something personal, think about that kid holding a gun, and remember how much comfortable your life is. And think about what good you can contribute to society, because there is enough bad out there. This year make a resolution to be more than just good. Be a Human, who cares for the world.

The Book Thief

There are stories. There are good stories. And then there are stories which touch your soul. One such story is written by Markus Zusak, named as The Book thief. Narrated by the death itself, it's a story of a kid from Nazi Germany. Her name is Liesel. Living in a foster home, with her new Papa and Mama. But life is not fair with her. She has memories of a brother, she lost on a train. Her new mother is awful cook and pretty tough on her. She has nightmares every night. As she starts to live this new life on a place called Himmel Street, stuff keeps happening. She makes a best friend Rudy, who's has crush on her. Her father teaches her the art of reading from a book she has stolen from grave yard. And hence the title, the book thief. And then there's another important character, called Max. Who is a Jew in a Nazi Germany, who is given shelter in her basement. You go on a journey from a train, to a football match on street, to stealing apples and bread. From playing accordion...

A Lone Journey!

"Would she remember me?", "Did I make a good Impression?", "Or is it just another click?", these are one of few thoughts I am having. May be I should stop thinking about her smile. That's the prettiest part of this short trip. An unexpected meet, then sharing sweet glances may be wasn't enough, that's why she gave a very warm goodbye along with an invitation to visit again. OMG! I have to stop thinking about her. This wont work ever. I know very well. May be all I need is little distraction to get normal. Looking outside the bus window might help. but while leaving this town, I am glad that I could collect some memories. At the end of the day, that's all you have , right? People you care, instances which make you happy, inspirations for bright tomorrow. Yeah! That is all matter.  Just like this journey, life is moving. For a couple of days She was my Travelling Buddy. Not Any More. I wish our journey could be prolonged. Trav...

First Rain: Year 2023

Summer rains have a special place in my life. They show us that no matter how things get heated, one rainy cloud is good enough to cool things down. And obviously, for few moments, every human becomes still, in this fast paced world. Have you observed how fast life has become? Or maybe I belong to the age group where I can feel this. Youngsters don't feel it, old folks don't care, middle age people don't have time to observe due to various responsibilities. But my age group, the millennials, I think we see the world in different perspective. Somehow life has become a rapidfire multiple choice quiz. You gotta keep selecting one thing after another, you just must, else you might become irrelevant in society. But then I ask myself sometimes, is this how I imagined my adulthood. Ofcourse many of the things from my 'Someday' list are there, but something is still missing. And I can't point it out. It's like I'm driving at high speeds, taking timely brakes, t...
