Harmony in Solitude

Solitude is a strange emotion
We love and fear it at all times
Everyone wants some in their lives
Yet fear it with their souls
We were born alone
And will probably leave in the same way
But we yearn for company in  the middle
We wish to be a part of a group
We even time our attitude to fit in
Even the loneliest soul needs compassion
Though we might not accept it openly
However this companionship is an illusion
It is always there but never there
We wade through a series of people
And give it a name of our choice
We justify it and give ourselves a reason
Nevertheless we are pushed to battle our solitude
At so many points in our life
We yearn and hate it at the same time
The challenge lies in finding the balance
The harmony in solitude

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 ...
