War!!

He waited behind the door.
The inside was dark and hazy.
He could hear the shells at a distance.
Slowly he nudged the door with the nozzle.
And then he saw.

A small boy.
Lay beside him was a body.
The boy was startled.
The soldier screamed " Don't Move".
The boy mumbled.
The gun was pointed at the boy,
Then he shot him. Twice!!

This is war!! You have to kill!! Sphere: Related Content

Fly Away

If I could fly with wings in the sky
I would soar over all far and nearby
I would be able to talk to the cloud
Then feel the pure rain and be proud
I could travel beside a Siberian Crane
Listen to the bird and feel its pain
I could visit places I am fond of
Without fear of controls that scoff
I could see the oceans and seas
Hover on the lands and trees
Could go and see my distant love
Make my home all over and above!! Sphere: Related Content

Your Love!

That gentle caress of your love
That sweet kiss of your love
That embrace of your love
That warm feeling of your love
That silly laugh of your love
That stupid frown of your love
That twitch of an eye of your love
That holding hands of your love
That final moment of your love Sphere: Related Content

Talking!!

Talking about feelings.
Feelings is life.
Life is emotion.
Emotion is in me and you.
You are my friend.
Friends are forever.
Forever we are bound.
Bound by rituals.
Rituals emanate from religions.
Religion is personal.
Personal is always part of a group.
Group does not like loners.
Loners do speak out sometimes.
Sometimes we listen.
Listen to the inner voice.
Voice of the people.
People are still talking! Sphere: Related Content

The Delivery Boy

It's rather dusty outside-
They say there is a sandstorm.
He is searching for an address.
He is walking about in the hot sun.
His eyes trying to read the house numbers.
He is perhaps feeling thirsty.
He is perhaps a bit lost.
He is worried that he is getting late.
His mobile phone is ringing.
He refuses to accept the call,
He is getting tired.
He looks up at me.
He just gets a smile and a nod.
He moves on.
I move on!! Sphere: Related Content

Sometimes

Sometimes you lose your way
Sometimes you fall off the bay
Sometimes you are left behind
Sometimes you are ahead of the bind
And then you meet this man.

Sometimes you are full of sorrow
Sometimes others joy you cannot borrow
Sometimes you are full of thirst
Sometimes you fall on the dust
And then you meet this man.

Sometimes your joy knows no bound
Sometimes your music has no sound
Sometimes you see death on the bed
Sometimes birth is all you have prayed
And then you meet this man.

Sometimes you stretch out and yell
Sometimes you feel the pain of hell
Sometimes you are so full of laughter
Sometimes you forget beyond and after
And then you meet this man. Sphere: Related Content

Delhi University cut off - 100% - Joke? Bad System?

We can have umpteen debates on marking standards/systems or others. But to me the question is of demand and supply. The system has not taken care of:

1, No. of Quality educational institutions commensurate with growth of population.

2. It is a leftist comment, but to me basic education should be state sponsored with possible JVs with the private sector. Higher Education should be opened up liberally with controls.

3. Pay scales of teachers/profs should be on par.

And on a more social note, we are taught about class divides right from childhood. Rich vs Middle vs Poor. Reg Medium vs English Medium. Municipal Schools, Convent Schools, Private schools. Castes, race, language....we are confused adults providing opinions with huge brain backlogs.

We need some manthan(churn) in our minds. Pray for it, at least!!

Everything in this country, you have to look further and implement your policies now. Short cuts never work and never will. Imagine the plight of the institution. How will they evaluate? Another alternative is to start separate entrance exams. But that's just putting another hurdle to cross a faulty hurdle.

Marking systems in our country except perhaps literature or subjects like that is based on theory and not applicability of theories in real life, Project based work should be emphasized on. Not a system where at the end of 2-4-6 whatever years you go and vomit stuff.

There are multiple issues and eery one them you have to think through. We always compromise with the "jugad" mentality and that our major problem!!

We can also talk about criteria of selection, So when SRCC for example is taking in students for Commerce and Accounts how does it matter whether I have really mastered Macbeth or not!!

Government playing funny games

Baba's tamasha going up in flames.

Lathi charge on sleeping folks

Admin killing supporters hopes.

Baba now in Hardwar

Kiran, Anna should stay afar.

Baba needs to come clean for sure

Govt need not have been so immature.

Common Public is always gullible

Suffer from dilemma on what’s feasible.

The Corruption fight has to go on for long

Let no politics and religion enter with their song.

TV Channels all crying hoarseSonia looking for a new course.Baba says he is like Shivaji

Trying to flee in dress of Bahenji.

Big scams like 3G, 2G and CWG

And now we have to deal with Babaji.No issues with the corruption cause
