Every Yesterday...


An incidence left me with something to write here...

At the red light when the lady in dirty white sari and pathetic condition approaches me to ask for a penny. I wonder what I think before reaching for my pocket...

Encouraging begging is not good. It will make them dependent.

The lady is not enough handicapped to receive free funds.

How much it makes a difference to me???

I am doing some good to needy people.

It can be a cheaper ticket for me to heaven.

And the green light is there before the ‘aboves’ decide their winner!!!

A Convivial Solitude…

My soul wails to scold poor words

Why thou almighty created thoughts?

Brutal being fabricated words to map

Absolutely oblivious to the colossal gap.

Merely unfold the wings my dear

Petrified with the liberation of solo tear.

Leave me I want to fly, Leave me I want to cry!!!


My gaze at the sky wonders who is there

I lend my ears, the clouds shout to say I care.

First the enraged waves delude to appease

Then embrace the rocks and hold to release.

At times the forest seems to empathize

But the raindrops abandon me to agonize.

Leave me I want to fly, Leave me I want to cry!!!


My pain disguised in a smiling face

Cheers to my triumph, but it’s a wrong race.

A while I wait n rise to ask, Am I the only one?

Ripped with the reply, it’s more than a ton!

The quest is for the prophecy that can set me free

As my shadow also demands for a light to be with me.

Leave me I want to fly, Leave me I want to cry!!!

How much black???

Is it what New York times covers with headline...HOW STRANGE!
Behind all the tortured what-if media reports it’s the real question on the emergence of two U.S. senators, Hillary Clinton of New York and Barack Obama of Illinois, as contenders for the 2008 Democratic nomination for president. Headline writers, magazine covers and media roundtables practically scream in shock...
What? A woman (white)? And a black (man)? Running for president? At the same time? Could it be? How strange! Is America ready?

Or, Times of India covering with headline...REACT TO RACISM!!!
How will Channel4 handle Shipa's maltreatment? How can she be called "the indian"?
Jade's consort called Shilpa...a "****" , these asterisks might have been concealing the word "PAKI" , all these made shilpa burst into tears... now she fights for her dignity from her (dis)advantaged position, She has the backing of the whole country which probably she does not need. Have we earned the moral high ground to castigate British actors who probably wouldn't get so racist outside the camera-heavy movie
?

There is something that needs a little more attention than Barack Obama's justification and Jane Goody's remark!!! We get so touchy about something that even remotely insulting to us.
Narrowing down to DTC buses, get into it and see how conductors behave with north-east students...buzz a chennai auto-driver to ask some arbit address...see what happens if you are a fair-skinned north indian...express your wish to marry a lower caste girl...Ask person wearing a fez and a beard, What's wrong if there be a Ram temple along with Babri masjid in Ayodhya... you will get the anwser.

According to me all this defines more than "RACISM"!!!!

Nascent thoughts...

SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
well this is something that perfectly describes my state of mind right now...
I wonder what if you feel the same sitting in an international conference as India's representative.......well.....I thought for a moment and then it came in my mind...wow!!! ...you can always stand and shout VANDAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...MATRAM!!!!!!!!!
So, now that by mistake you have remembered your country... just think once and reply....
Are you worth being an Indian or Is India worth as a country for you to live?
Wait, the actual question is which of the above two has a higher probability to strike your mind???
Well...Undeniably the latter one...the next question is WHY?
Isn't it that at times we oversell ourself!!!!!...the problem is in spite of the fact that individual magnitude is very high of an INDIAN...the vector sum is a big "ZERO".
One set of people do something....government changes ... the other set of people undo it...we end up loosing time and resources without any gain... the supreme adjective playing role here is "EGO" .... so now moving to the next one from the sample space of questions we have... Am I an egoistic person??? there is an interesting aspect related to this...As far as my statistics goes most of the people are either skeptic about whether the adjective is used in a negative sense or positive OR knowing it to be a vice they like to be called an egoistic person...I guess we are almost near the actual problem...think about it....................
Basically if not anything else at least you all now know why the URL is www.gencrap.blogspot.com.............SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
