Random things in my head...

Writing ‘Whts up??’ instead of “What’s up??’ looks so much cooler. I really don’t like it when people answer with a single alphabet when you ask them something …. Like ‘K’ or ‘S’. I am guilty of it too… but seriously how long does it take to type out ‘YES’ or ‘OK’. And on the same note, people going ‘hmm’ when you have told them something on a serious note or you have asked them something is really frustrating. I mean, think about it, you have just told something of momentous importance to someone. And their response is HMM … now I don’t know what that other person is thinking … whether they are offended … or whether they think I am some kind of loony brat … yeah alright! I am guilty of this too. But I am just saying … think about it! I have to watch the second part of Virumaandi. What?!?!? It’s a long movie especially if you start wat...

A walk in the rain...

I like rains. Not the heavy downpours. Oh well! Them too sometimes! But only when I am in my cozy room with a hot mug of tea by my side watching the rains pelt down!! But mostly I love the light drizzles. Especially at night. When you can see them twinkling under the light of the lamp posts. When you can walk under them and not really get soaked to the skin, but get just a little wet, like you have been through one of those rapids or those fun rides at an amusement park. The ones that leave you glistening like you just had some dew drops fall on you. Those ones. They are magical. They are captivating. They make me feel special. Alive almost. When they hit me, I like to hold my face up to the sky and have them fall on my face, each one rolling off like they belong there but then again like they don’t. Reminiscent of how invariably they leave their mark even if they have rolled off. A streak of the water droplets running through my face. And not in the form of tears. Now if that...

Glad to be a Woman!

You call her Braveheart, Amanat, Damini, Nirbhaya. You admire her fighting spirit and courage. You call her the Nations daughter. You give up celebrating New Years because you say you are grieving for her. You say you won’t disclose her name to the public for fear of shame, stigma, or protests by people over that. You grieve with her family. You compensate them monetarily for their loss. You announce that you will bring in new laws to reform this. You show outrage at this act. You say that you are seething with fury. You condemn it. You hold candle-lit vigils.You conduct peace marches. You sympathise. You empathise. You preach that this will change. Words like Capital Punishment, Death Penalty, Chemical Castration, Lifetime Imprisonment, Amendments to the Rape Act, all get bandied about. And yet, nothing happens. NOTHING. EVER. HAPPENS. And anyone who even starts a change will be subdued until they are in a minority. And yet again, this ...
