Falling down the heaven, once again Feeling up the millionth strain The cycle repeats over and over For one day i live, die silently at night Wake up from the dead Only to be through yet another fight

The Pacific — Scene from episode 1
Just a scene on the war front. Happens in each war, so many times. Men become monsters, enemy becomes a “game” which has to be hunted or tortured. The video pierced my heart.

Life seems so erratic. It seems like there is a routine. An order, a cycle in things, in almost each way nature manifests itself. The same is with life. We love routine (most of us). We feel comfortable settling into a routine. The same way there is a cycle. A cycle of emotions, a cycle…
Continue ReadingCrazy Love
I feel like writing a story. Not fiction exactly. Just a better way to convey thoughts than writing the facts straight out. It contains a message, rather a collection of thoughts. About human behavior, or the common sense prevailing in today’s world. (All names are fictional) There is a girl Naina. There is a boy…

Though they were not called so at that time, and in a certain sense it wasn’t a derogatory profession. They were respected and even considered an incarnation of certain goddesses. In current times, however, with…

And I felt fresh the next morning (1st march ). At 7am when I woke up, it was bright sunshine. At 8am, it had started raining. We next went to the Tawang monastery, which does not really appear so big. There is a cultural school. Further inside is the main monastery, with a beautiful Buddha…

It’s like a hidden jewel, nestled deep amongst mountains. Tawang. Home to the 2nd largest monastery. For anyone here at IITG, a trip to Tawang is a must in the 4 years he/she spends here. It’s like a pilgrimage. And recently I happened to be one of the pilgrims :P. A short trip to Tawang…
