Things to make the world a better place

The recent series of incidents have forced us to rethink of ourselves as a nation. We are living in a country where girls and women are fearlessly raped, people are undergoing forced Islamic-baptism and the youth is busy enjoying Comic-con and planning for the first every Tomorrow land carnival in India.

Something is wrong! Something very important is missing! A sense of responsibility and a sense of belonging are missing. We turn patriotic on only days like Independence Day and Republic Days. We need to be more patriotic if we want to make our country an epitome. We need to be more responsible and Now that Al-Qaeda has announced their Indian Wing we need to be more alert.

Memories memoir

I remember not forgiving my mother for months when one winter evening in the hills, she gave my green woolen skirt to a woman to cover her child. I had argued, “Did you not find anything else worth giving in the entire house?” Though, I had outgrown and didn’t wear that skirt, but still countered that it was my favorite. Eventually, I grew up being emotionally attached to all sorts of things, right from little teddy bear key rings to soft toys and certain clothes et al. But with passing years, it became difficult to mother so many things that had emotional value attached to them, and what worse, I had no choice.
