The Book

I read a book
The book was interesting but sad
The book ran through my memory
The minute I closed my eye
I did not have a hard copy of the book
Yet it left soft imprints in me
Every chapter was a story by itself
Some stories had an ending
Some ending was happy
Some were sad
Some endings was incomplete
Each chapter was different from the other
Except a few connecting factors
Each chapter was unique in its own way
The only common and connecting factor
In the book was me
I tried connecting the dots
Still It felt like
Reading a book of short stories
With the same protagonist
How will the book end I wondered
Will it be natural or forced?
How will the dots connect?
I may not
Yet it is a part of the book

I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...
