"Make the path by walking…"

- Spanish Proverb

Either smile with tears or cry silently but don’t use words while narrating the myriads of your voyage

“It is not easy to walk in the forest after the season of rains. Forest is extremely artistic in deleting the paths we had made in last summer just by walking. After every winter, forest invites us to walk again… through the curves of plants all blossomed. Flowers entice us to come close and go away…

We are all travelling through uncharted paths with a hope that someday we will reach where we wanted go. Only few us know that nothing so precious is waiting there at the destination. In fact, there is no destination at all. Or perhaps, I am not sure about the existence of any destination as much as I am sure about the roads. I know few roads untraveled, few less travelled and few those are haunted.

Not that I don’t know about the busy, smooth and silky highways but where not even high-speed ride ever excites the rider, why to waste time.

I love journey, because while in journey we are ought to keep less baggage and lots of hope. Because at the destinations we rest with a lot of baggage and very less hopes. Journey keep our heads up, legs on ground and chest breathing. Travel keeps us less sure about what might happen and gives enough time to imagine what could have or could not have happened.

Because in journey, we smile with tears while looking backward and smile silently while looking ahead. At destinations… we seldom smile… all we do is keep rethinking of everything that happened while we were in journey.

My letter to Mr. Chetan Bhagat

Sent to bhakti@chetanbhagat.com as on 26, August 2013, In response to Mr. Bhagat's Article Sunday Times, 25th August 2013, Indore Edition Dear Mr. Bhagat, This is awful that a person of your stature is out rightly supporting a cult publicly. Knowing that millions of youth will be influenced by your opinion, you should have behaved more responsibly in public. We know media is sold to Modi and international big brothers want to use Modi cult by giving rest to UPA for at least a term. For international diplomacy BJP & Congress are all alike. While these two national parties will keep wrestling over their core ideologies of being Hindu Nationalists & Secular Nationalists, they will always settle on the economic policies favoring to international markets. They will be ready to provide free flow accessibility of Indian consumers & natural resources to foreign corporate giants. It is sadly termed as a real growth of India. Because if foreign inve...

The Cusp of Democracy & Autocracy

A country where earning Rs.18 a day tags you not poor, Election Commission spends Rs.73 per voter to conduct the general election - Jitendra Rajaram "O ut of 123 democratic countries in the world, not a single country is 100% democratic. Not a single democracy conducts 100% impartial election. In India where 36% population lives in a $1 a day, the cost of election is more than $1 a vote. The irony doesn't end here! The political parties conesting in such elections have spent more $13 to woo every single elector in 2019 General Election of India. Owing the amount of money spent, should we call it a democracy or plutocracy? Nic Cheeseman and Brian Klass wrote in the first page of their book “How to Rig an Election” with a statement “The greatest political paradox of our time is this: there are more elections than ever before, and yet the world is becoming less democratic”. The book written by Nic Cheeseman & Brian Klass, Harper Collins Publication | Yale Univers...

Theocracy Strengthens Aristocracy and Defies Democracy.

"It was easy in ancient time for religions to progress for two reasons. One every civilization was miles apart from every other civilization" - Jitendra Rajaram "T he mixture of fear and weakness among the people who surrenders to feudalism has enlarged the idea of God-ism. The theory first coined by the power hungry ruling class and their serfs. People, when united, are the ultimate power. The select few (ruling class) always wanted to control this power of people. The control of power is all about channelizing the energy it holds. This is how the need of an imaginary superpower evolved. A superpower which can channelize the energy of united people. Ruling class invented this imaginary power to tame the real power (i.e. people). Had I ONLY been introduced to anyone of Brahma or Allah or Moses or Christ during my childhood I would have easily believed upon god. The creators of God (i.e. Ruling Class) have devised so circumventing methods to establish...
