Happy Raksha Bandhan?

'Men should take responsibilities for their actions and take action as their responsibility'

I sit here thinking about Raksha Bandhan wishes that I have received from my sisters, be it cousins or the adoptive sisters(munh-bola behen) and it has got me thinking about the state in which women are treated in our country. It is very sad to read about so many cases of rape, harassment and assault against women in the newspapers and on the internet sites. I restrain myself from logging into the online forum newspaper because all I can read about is the fact that women are treated like objects; objects of entertainment, slavery and sex toys. But I do not restrain anymore. For I know that this is still happening even if I am not reading it. And it will keep happening unless each one of us take actions to prevent these.    

What is the use of celebrating Raksha Bandhan if we can't protect the women around us?

Has it become just a tradition that we follow each year where we get our share of the sacred thread, sweets and in return give them chocolates, toys or anything else as a token of appreciation? It is sad to see this is what it has come down to. Men should take responsibilities for their actions and men should take action as their responsibility to protect not only their sisters but any woman they know that are in harm.

I am what I am

People often ask me why I am serious, rude, grumpy or silent most of the times. I sit back and really wonder about this when someone close to me ask this. I scratch my head deep enough to show some wounds. I stress on my mind so hard that it rattles out the answer. "Its not what you want to be."

 That's not the answer that i am looking for. But it doesnt stop me from wondering why am I still this way? why do I need to be this way? Why can't I be a jolly person that my father and brother are? Why do I hesitate to talk to people very freely? Why do I often end up being rude, grumpy or look to be angry? I am almost never that way with people I am really close to. Apart from one major fight, My best friend n I have never fought or argued over anything. But why cant I share the same rapport with others? Even though they are close to me? I scratch the wounds further that they show scars. Scars so deep that it horrifies me. The ones that are really very close to me know that it takes time for me to get friendly with people. But once that barrier is past, I get too emotionally attached to the person and no matter what, I trust them blindly. But still, why am I rude to them? Why am I serious with them? Why do I not talk so freely? People have said that my mere presence in a group makes it 'uncomfortable.' But what is it about me that makes them feel that?


One incident has given me an idea of what makes me who I am. One incident that typically should have had me throwing back an insulting comeback as I always do, but has got me thinking. Thinking why the person insulted me when all i was trying to do is be nice. Then it struck me! I am what I am only because when I try and be sweet to people, they insult me, hurt me or put me away. This is why I am rude to people. I am rude to them only because I expect them to insult me if I try and be sweet. I am serious and silent when in a group only to avoid being insulted. Taking that into light, I can think of so many times when I have been put down, insulted or put away from a group when all I was trying to do was to contribute to the topic of the group discussion. This has given birth to a fear inside me. Fear of being put down, that is what keeps me silent when I'm in a group.


People often ask me why I am serious, rude, grumpy or silent most of the times.Its not that I like being this way. Its just that when I try being nice to people, they insult me and put me away. I am what I am, not because of what I choose to be. But because of what Im scared to feel.

Love: Possession v/s Emotion

We often refer to an emotion as 'Love'. I love my parents, I love my job, I love my Dog, I love my wife/husband. These are things that we possess. But very often, we also love things that we don't possess. Like a car we always wanted, a place that we always wanted to visit, an actor or a character etc. Some of these things, we can never possess. But we still love them! We love so many things knowing that we cant possess them.

We fall in love with a person too in our life. We fall in love with them and then start building dreams around them. We dream of wedding them, we dream of building a house, a family, a future with them. This is a love that we want to possess.

Why?

Why do we have to love a person and always have to want to possess them? Have we ever thought of why we loved them in the first place? The answer to that 8 out of 10 times is the way that person looks. The way they look, the way they dress, their eyes, their smile, their hair, their glare all add up to the way they look. Then we start loving their character, their behavior, their attitude. Then we want to be around them, to talk to them, to laugh with them, to cry with them, we want them to share their feelings with us, we want them to be with us always. But have we ever thought of what we really want from them? NO! I am not referring to sex you pervert! I am referring to happiness. Yes, happiness!

And im talking about their happiness, not ours. We want to keep them by our side so that we can keep them happy. We want to gift them flowers, chocolates, soft toys etc to make them happy. But why are we heart-broken when that person wants to be with someone else? Her wanting to be with someone else means her being happy with him. Isnt that what we want? For her to be happy? Then why do we still try and win her heart? instead, why dont we pray to god to keep her happy with him? Aren't we selfish to say that she has to be ours? she will be happy with me and not with him?

People think that love is all about possession. to possess the person they love. For me, love is all about emotion. Love is an emotion that binds 2 people together. We don't have to necessarily be with each other to share love. We just need to pray that the other person is happy.

Think about it!

The Day Of Reckoning

Chapter 1: Zion!

A pale, lean youth, is lying on the ground and he slowly opens his eyes. All he can see is white, everywhere. He takes out his cell phone. But it has gone dead. He doesn’t know where he is. He does not know how he got there. He is troubled in his mind. He is thinking to himself, ‘What have I gotten myself into now?’ He is trying to think what he was doing before he slept. All he could remember was that yesterday was 4th of November and it was his best friend’s birthday. He had a couple of drinks and had passed out. He can’t remember where he slept. And does not have a clue how he got here.

He gets to his feet, dusts off his jeans. He wants to find out where he is. But he can’t see anything. Everything is white and there is only one source of light. He thought it looks like the Sun. But it was not as bright as it was. He then, laughs and yells out ‘Hey guys, it is not funny anymore’. But no one answers. He wants to find the door to the room and wants to get out. He is tired and hungry. It feels as though he had been sleeping for years. He wants to go back home. He is walking hoping he would find the end of the room. But he can’t. He realizes it is not a prank played by his friends. He starts running in vain.

Suddenly he stops. And right in front of him, 3 weird looking humans (or that’s what he thinks they are) appear out of thin air. He is shocked. There were 2 women and 1 man. Their faces had no expression at all. But there was a glow in their face. They looked like angels to Dhruv. He suddenly was scared. He thought he was dead. And this was the path to heaven. He grew curious. Then, he spoke.

Dhruv: uh, do you guys understand English?

The weird man: Yes. We know all languages spoken on earth. My name is Naum. We are Zionians. And you are on our planet.

Dhruv: What? Where am i?

Naum: You are on the planet Zion.

Dhruv: well, I have learnt that Zion means heaven. Is this heaven?

Naum: All of your questions will be answered later. First, we must take you to our father.

Saying that, Naum and the other 2 ladies grab Dhruv and suddenly, everything goes blur and they let go of him. He falls on the ground with a thud and the 3 Zionians calmly landed on their feet as though gravity did not affect them. It looked to Dhruv like he was in the same place as they were before. But the only change was that there was another man standing a couple of yards away from them. He looked hugely built. He turned to Dhruv. He spoke softly though he had a husky voice.

Huge Zionian: Hello son. My name is Maximus. I am the leader of Zion. We are a planet much like earth. But we are 3 galaxies away from earth.

Dhruv: wow. Then how did you fly me across 3 galaxies in one night? And how did you get me here?

Maximus: (showing signs of facial expression for the first time) Hahaha! We did not fly you here in one night.

Dhruv: What? Then what is the date today?

Maximus: according to the calendar that you follow, we are on 11^th December and the year is 2012.

Dhruv: Oh my god! We have been flying for a month? And how is it that I was asleep for so many days?

Maximus: I need you to calm down. I will answer your questions. But first, I think you are hungry after your long journey. So what do you want to eat?

Dhruv: huh? Ok. What do you guys eat?

Maximus: We do not eat anything. We convert the energy that we get from sunlight. But I can offer you whatever you want.

Dhruv: Ok. How about a nice big sandwich?

Maximus, without even moving, holds out his arm. And to Dhruv’s surprise, there is a plate in maximus’ hand and in it is a nice, juicy looking sandwich. Dhruv, thanking Maximus, pounces at the sandwich as if he had never eaten before. All this while, Maximus (without any expression) is calmly watching the boys act. And then, he speaks:

Maximus: Do you really think you are eating something?

Dhruv: What do you mean? I am eating the sandwich you gave me.

Maximus: Think again son! There is no sandwich. (the sandwich miraculously disappears from dhruv’s hands).

Dhruv: If there was no sandwich, how is it that I am actually feeling full?

Maximus: when God created us, he made Zionians and humans similar. He gave us a similar physical structure. And our brain patterns are also similar. He also gave us the power of evolution. A human can evolve to gain strength or powers that he always thought was super natural. Human brain is far capable of doing things than what it is doing now. You need to wake your brain up completely. Though most human brain patterns are similar, the special power that they can wake in them is different. Some learn how to fly, some can travel faster, some can teleport and so on. But we found one human brain on earth which is far more superior than the rest. In fact, it is so superior that it can evolve faster and stronger than that of the Zionians. We found the secret of evolution 3 million years ago. Since then, each child which is born in Zion is able to evolve in their lifetime. But strangely, only 4 of us have mastered the art of death. We have been visiting earth for a long time. And we have seen potentiality in them. There have been so many humans who evolved. I think you will understand it better because of your mythology. There have been humans reported to be very strong, some, immortals and some with special powers. But we have never seen a brain pattern so strong as we have found in this case. This brain is capable of mastering almost all powers known to us.

Your brain, my son is the most superior brain we have come across.

Dhruv: what? My brain? You are kidding me right?

Maximus: You still haven’t realized it yet. But you will learn.

Dhruv: so will you teach me how to evolve?

Maximus: Evolution is a process that cannot be taught. But it is merely a process that takes place in one’s life. You will have to learn it yourself. And I hope it happens soon.

Dhruv: What do you mean?

Maximus: have you ever wondered how the Egyptians built the massive pyramids without having any sort of technology? Have you ever wondered how a small army of troy could fall a massive army like Greece? Have you ever wondered how Raavan was able to make an aircraft long before the invention of your aircrafts? We were there when Jesus was crucified. The humans think that it was an eclipse and an earthquake that happened when Jesus was crucified. But it was one of our spacecraft landing on earth. The answer to all these questions, are that we have been visiting Earth for a long time and we have been acting as advisers and also aiding the humans. But we couldn’t be helping everyone because we were not meant to be on earth. So we helped and advised a select few of the humans. Only those who had learnt the art of evolution.

Dhruv: Ah! So that’s the deal. I have always wondered. And earlier when you said that there was no sandwich, how did you get it?

Maximus: It is true that there was no sandwich. Your brain told you there was. So when you pretended to eat the sandwich that was never there, your brain sent signals to your stomach to act satisfied. Do you think you are breathing air? Haven’t you noticed that there are no plants or trees here? Then how is it that you are breathing?

Thinking about it, Dhruv suddenly feels the lack of air and feels suffocated.

Maximus( with a smile on his face): Just think son. Just think that there is air. And you will be able to breathe.

Suddenly, Dhruv feels the air back in his lungs. He feels different. He can feel each drop of blood flow in his body. He feels stronger. He feels much wiser. The laws of science seems like a joke to him. He is confident that he can break the barrier of sounds, he can defy gravity, he can go anywhere without moving a single part of his body. He suddenly realizes.

Dhruv: Hey! Why did you tell me that it is better if I evolved soon?

Maximus: So, that did catch your attention!

And as he smiles, he raises his hand and head towards the sky... (to be continued)

Rush of blood

Woke up with a smile on my face,

Feels like I f***in won a race.

Just look at your face by my side,

Holding you, gives me pride….

Just hope that we stay together,

Like this, on forever.

Like cocaine on a f***in sled,

You give a rush of blood to my head…

Never again wanna get back low,

Cos I know il wake up tomorrow.

And not find you by my side,

That will blow my f***in mind like a tide.

Sugar girl, don’t be so mean,

I swear to never yell or scream.

Our love is like crystal meth,

Gives a rush of blood to my head.

Illusions

The following post is an insight into my though which is right now psychic. I might be wrong and science must have some evidence that what i am thinking is wrong. But then, read the post, close your eyes and ask yourself the same question that i have been asking. What does your mind tell you???


"What you see with your eyes are just illusions.... What you feel from within is the real picture....."

The above is a quote from an anonymous poster on one of the 'cool quotes' website. This has got me thinking. Can it be true? Are what we see with our eyes real? Or is it just an image that our mind creates. Does our mind project only things that we want to see??? I still dont have an answer.


I was thinking this and i just happened to pass by a mirror. I looked at myself. It suddenly struck me. Am i looking at an image of myself that others can see? Or do i look differently to others? Do i look the same to all of them? Or do i look different to each Individual??? Well.... i still dont have an answer.

This drove me to think further. I was getting a little irritated with myself for not coming to a conclusion!!! Are you really what you look like? Or is skin, flesh, blood & body just a vessel? Just close your eyes and think for a minute what you look like... Is it the same thing what you see in a mirror? Most of us would say yes. Now.... Take all thoughts out of your head... clear your mind.... and Think that you are someone else. Your whole structure changes..... Your imagination gives you the image that you want to see......

Do the geometrical shapes look the same to everyone? Is the triangle/square the same in everyone's eyes? Or is it just an image that our soul portrays?

There are lots of instances where people around the world saw an image of Jesus/animals/human face on a bark of a tree, on a rock, on even a wall. Is it really there? or is it just that our mind portrays the image?

So many times, we break our heads into wondering what a 3d image shows..... But is it really there? or is it just an illusion that our mind creates? Ever wondered if your dog can see the image what you see? Or is it only us, humans?

Mind and soul are very complex and complicated part of us. We do not know how it works. It is a master of its own.

Next time you look at yourself in the mirror, look closely.... You might look at another image of yourself........

Illusions.... Are everywhere..... It is layered.... It only complicates our mind.... Our thoughts..... But complications are good..... It gives us a new dimension to look at.......

What you reap is what you sow!!!!

Most of you would have heard of the saying 'As you sow, so you reap.' It mostly is true..... But have you thought of the vice versa??? 'What you reap is what you sow'.....

They say that a kid is like a mirror..... It reflects what you give it. So in that instance, what you reap is what you sow from the point of view of the child. You must be wondering if you know someone like that.... I'l give you an example.

Take Kurt Cobain for one. His parents divorced when Kurt was only 8. This led to a huge change in his behaviour. He became more defiant and withdrawn. His mother got into another relationship after the divorce with a man who was abusive in nature. Kurt witnessed domestic violence almost everyday and this led to his aggression..... At an interview, he once said

'I remember feeling ashamed, for some reason. I was ashamed of my parents. I couldn't face some of my friends at school anymore, because I desperately wanted to have the classic, you know, typical family. Mother, father. I wanted that security, so I resented my parents for quite a few years because of that.'

Most of his songs are a reflection of the pain, the anger, the depression that Kurt Cobain went through....... This shows that what he reaped, that he sowed......

Every minute things in life causes major changes in your life.....

You might be pissed off one whole day just for the fact that the coffee you had with your breakfast was bad. As a result, your output towards everything that you do on that day is negative. Have you ever felt angry/upset at something but you don't know what? Ever felt uncomfortable without knowing what is it that is pricking your brains? Well.... for all you know, it could have been your favourite hero dying in one of the movies you watched last night..... It could be some song that you heard on the radio while you were having breakfast...... It might be something someone said sometime ago....... But all this leads to you being absent minded/angry/sad/disturbed for the rest of the day.......

So now.... Think again.........

'What you reap..... Is what you sow...'

Phoenix

Took a hit for you again,
And i fall from the sky.
My wings have gone so numb,
But my body is still alive.

Im falling into the sea,
Of tears from your eyes.
All the pain you gave me,
Is burning me alive.

[Chorus]
Dont worry that im burning baby,
Dont want you to shed no tears.
Dont you know I can rise from the ashes,
And spread my wings like a Phoenix. [X2]

I wish you were here,
My death is so near.
Just want to hold your hand,
While I lay on the sand.

Will wake up tomorrow,
And start a new life.
I want you in it,
Cos i love the way you burn me alive.

[Chorus]
Dont worry that im burning baby,
Dont want you to shed no tears.
Dont you know I can rise from the ashes,
And spread my wings like a Phoenix. [X2]

Like a Phoenix...
I rise from the ashes.
I am a Phoenix....
I spread my wings and fly....
Like a Phoenix....
I rise from the ashes....
I am Phoenix........

Rock n rolla

8/10 people tell me that i am a disturbed kid when i tell them that my genre of music is heavy/death metal. They say that its evil. But think again!!!!

What you learnt as a kid is mostly evil too. Still havent got it? read on...

1. London Bridge- London bridge is falling down, falling down.

A. Why would you make a nursery rhyme about and sing it to kids about the London bridge falling??? Whats so merry about it??? It sounds more like a terrorist anthem to me!!!!

2. Ding dong bell- Ding dong bell, pussy's in the well. Who put her in? Little Johnny thin.

A. When you tell the kid not to do it, it goes ahead and does it!!!! So why would you want to put ideas into kids minds that the pussy cat can go into the well???

3. Humpty Dumpty- Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.

A. Someone falling off a great wall is not not a joke. And it just gets worse when we know he cant be fixed. How sadist is that to make a song of it and sing it merrily.

4. The bad girls lament- As I walked out of st. James' hospital, St. James' hospital one day. I spied my only fairest daughter, wrapped up in white linen, as cold as the clay.

A. Do I need to say anything about this??? How sad is it to teach a small kid who is just seen the light in their eyes?

5. Jack and Jill- Jack & Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down, broke his crown. And Jill came tumbling after.

A. This used to be my personal favorite until about a year ago. I was reading this out to a little kid and i realized how sad this is. I was really ashamed of it.

So next time u tell a rock fan that he is a sadist...... Or before you teach a kid what a rhyme........ Think twice......

New Dawn

'The night is darkest before dawn'....

There are times in everyones lives where there is darkness and there is light. just when it seems that problem would never end, we see that small ray of light. a ray of hope that its going to get brighter. Life is that way.

I woke up one morning to stare at the darkness. The darkness looked right into me. Tightening its grip around me with each second passing by. I stood there looking at the sky. Helpless. Waiting for the dawn. A ray of light. My hope. It finally looked like it was coming. I could see a faint light far away at the horizon. My fear slowly started sinking. I was trying to fight back at the darkness with all my might. But soon, the faint light was covered. I soon realised that it was an eclipse. My ray of hope was covered. Very soon, I sank back into the horridly chilly darkness. It started consuming me from within like a worm in an apple. I am sinking. Without a life jacket. It all feels like i am falling into a bottomless pit. But still. I wait. I wait for the Sun to move away from the moon. I wait for my light to rescue me. To prove that my hope was strong.

Life is ups and downs. You do enjoy the light. But you do realise that soon, there will be darkness again. In this fight between darkness and light, there is no winner. There is only fear and hope. Its just how you take it.

The Walls Are Closing In

Why do we like the world the way it was 10 years ago??? Isnt it the same world??? Have we grown up and started noticing things differently??? Then do the 'already grown ups' dont see a change??? Or has the world really changed??? Humans have gone so advanced with technology and what not that they can send rockets to outer space..... Technology lets you see and talk to a person who lives on the other side of the world....


We have surrendered ourselves to methods that take lesser efforts..... Does that make us lazy or does that make us effective???? Are we using the resources from the earth or are we destroying it???

Every day, hundreds of thousands of animals are killed by humans because we want them as fabrics so that we look fashionable; as decorative items to make our house looks better........ But we call them maneaters when a hungry Tiger kills a man to feed its children...... How many Snakes are being killed for entering people's houses???? What we forget is how many anthills and burrows do we demolish to construct a lavish house for ourselves???? Shouldnt in that case, humans be killed everyday by every kind of species in this world......

We cut trees so that we can build a house, to construct roads, to construct entertainment zones for us..... But do they ever complain???? Who gave us the right to kill all these species??? We pluck out unwanted plants from our garden calling it a weed.... But arent we the actual weeds spoiling the nature on Earth????

We humans feel so proud that we are the most advanced, intelligent, capable and supreme being on the face of this world.... But arent we the ones destroying it??? Was man supposed to advance in technology??? Was he supposed to build things like this. Would the world be safe if man lived like the way he did in stone age? We always think that we are moving forward.... But aren't we walking straight into the end???

We humans dont trust each other anymore.... We divided ourselves through countries, religions, cast and color... But arent we all the same???

We all think the world has become unfair...... We think that people are trying to con us all the time.... The world seems like its becoming a worse place to live in... We wish for the world to be like what it was 10 years ago.... But arent we the world??? Havent we imposed this disaster on ourselves? Everyday, we think that the world is getting smaller through reach of technology to every corner of the world. But the actual truth is that the world is like a big room and because of man.............

The Walls Are Closing In........

The things I have lost

"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."

-Martin Luther.

I stay awake deep through the night, thinking.... Why do we fear losing? Why do we feel sad and humiliated at losing. Why do we celebrate winning? Seldom do we realize that the other person has to lose for you to win. Are we so selfish that we take joy in other person losing? We do not want to lose. But we want others to lose!


The things I have lost are countless. But there is one thing in everyone's life that they dont want to lose. For some, it might be a person. For some, a materialistic thing! For some, passion. For some, faith.

No one has a right to steal that one thing from any other individual! The pain when someone takes away that one thing from you is uncurable. The pain that is involved in losing that one thing leaves a mark on you for the rest of your life. Losing that one thing makes you start hating yourself. It lets you wonder if you could go back and change the course of the event. Keeps you wondering- would you still be able to retain that one thing?

I hve been robbed of that one thing in my life. In the course of getting it back, I have come to an arms distance from it. But still, I cannot reach it. I would love to push myself forward and grab it. But it keeps moving back. I wonder if destiny doesnt want it to come to me. Or is it not the right time to grab it? I rest my faith in the almighty's hands and pray to him to keep it safe. To keep it from harm's way. I also pray to him that he let me take it. But only if that is his wish and only when time comes. Untill then, I am bound to the pain that dwells in me. That pricks me and reminds me. All the things I have lost!!!

Its called "Let Go..."


-------------XXXXXXXX--------------------

I am walkin down the road,
the wind in my face so cold.
Got a voice inside my head,
that said 'The night seems so dead'.

I wake up every night,
just thinkin about the fight.
After all the time we spent,
is this how it is to end?

With tears rollin down,
wishing i could just drown.
I keep walkin in the rain,
Tryin to let go of the pain. (x2)

I just wanna ask you how,
you could deny our true love.
have you lost all the faith?
or you just wanna hate?

I cant, Understand this thing,
nor forget anything.
Im just walking in the rain.
just to let go all the pain.

ooh.......... hoo hoo.....

My name is Shirish Raghu although i like callin myself Freeek!!!!! Thats a nickname i got during my 11th. Anyways. I am graduate in business management. Working for an ad agency called Temple Advertising. Its all been 'so far, so good'..... And i just hope it stays this way. Well. I dont deny that i have my own set of problems. Who doesn't?

Im pretty much a sport enthusiast and i have played my share of football though i couldnt make it big. My ultimate dream was to play for Manchester United(or atleast at Old Trafford). That jus seems like ages ago now, though i still follow Manchester United season after season. A lot of people around me dont like Manchester United or have been shifting their loyalty to the clubs that top each year. But i will always be a Red Devil. I had played cricket for a while. Played Basketball for a while and then finally switched to the 1st love of my life..... Football(Soccer)... Well... I used to practice football regularly and sincerely. I used to be dedicated to my team(club). But due to some political issues within the club, I had to quit. And then, i was too much in love with my club to move on to another..... Yes. I am an emotional fool.

Anyways, life seems to be heading somewhere now and seems more settle. I can tel for myself(and ppl around me have told me) that i have matured and become more understanding about things than how i was back in college. I guess thats a gradual process in everyone's life. I think im on the path from being a boy, turning into a man. Well, I might not have a good salary, I might not have the right lifestyles and i might not be successful at whatever i do. But I have a good job(that im happy with), I have loving, supportive and understanding parents, I have a 'best buddy' in my brothers form, I have cheerful friends & family and mostly I have a LIFE!!! It might not seem to be perfect to you guys. But for me, I couldnt have wished for a better life.

There have been ppl in my past who are not with me anymore... But i can never forget them.... and some.... i can never forgive....... i dont wanna take names here(tryin to be politically correct).... ;-)

And i thank those who are still with me, wishing for my best and being with me throughout.

Life has always been an up and down for me.... But i jus wanna tel you guys.....

"Life is a game of football. You have to tackle your difficulties, dribble your faith & efforts towards the target and shoot to achieve your goal!!!"
