We the Humans.


The feathers and the tails
The skin and the nails
The birds and the trees
All are signs of Mother Nature before whom we all used to kneel

Humans, they say are better that all
For they have a heart and a mind to take the call
Let us ponder and think out loud
What have we ever done that may ever make us proud

Yes we have the trucks the cars and the planes
But do they truly help us loose our pains
The trees we cut the tigers we kill
And consume them as we take a little cold pill

But again we’ve built toasters the bombs and the gas
This helps us to eat, work and kill so fast.
The towers the homes the wires and the pubs
All weapons of self-destruction which we so bravely boast with a thud

Oh yes we are humans the wisest of all
We’ve made this earth look like a shop in a mall
Where we walk to consume and then to relax
And leave the Mother Nature to refill the fruits and the gas

But behold, the time has come
She’s getting back to you, why do you look so glum?
For you now have the tsunamis and the tornados like never before
Do you realize now, you were living so close?

Does India need a Social and a Political Overhaul

India , the biggest democracy in the world is now at a standpoint where it seriously needs to look back and ponder deeply about the need of a serious and extensive overhaul of its structure. The recent attack on Mumbai has stirred the very root of Indian politics. The politicians of our country need to unite at this time and together find a solution to this grave danger that confront us. I am overwhelmed by the response of the people of India who, finally seem to be realizing that they also have a very important part to play in the working a gigantic unit that we call a NATION. In the light of the past events, be it the matter of corruption, or the IC 814 issue, the Indian leaders have failed to prove themselves as a motivated and a focused lot. The Indian politics has been reduced to a dirty exchange of substandard words and allegations. More over, politicians like the the self obsessed Mayawati and the seemingly perpetually high Mulayam Singh Yadav have made it even worse by explo

Indian Education System

Education System “On the stroke of midnight hour, when the world slept, India woke to light and freedom”. These are perhaps the most famous lines ever said by our first and charismatic Prime Minister Shree Jawahar Lal Nehru. A new era was promised by the “Kashmiri Pandit” to the millions of people in India. A promise which, to many, guaranteed a just living environment, equal opportunities in all aspects. The question that I ponder upon is precisely this. In the past 60 years of independence, has India given its people what it initially promised? One of the foremost and arguably the most important aspect of a developed and just society is the fundamental right of the people of a nation to get educated and make ensure that the next generation gets the best education. This ensures the all round development of a individual which in turn enables him to contribute, in his capabilities, towards the growth of the Nation. Has India, in the past 60 years been able to fulfill her promise under t

India – The land of organised chaos.

The very thought of going back to India was enough to give me a surge of happiness and pride. After all, India is the place full future opportunities, not in the EU, not in the US, but in India. It is the place where everybody wants to be. The high observed growth in the GDP, the buzzing economy; the ever expanding IT sectors are the pillars that would carry India into the future where she will emerge as the largest and the best. This is what everyone says about India in Italy. Notwithstanding the fact that it is still a extremely poor country. What makes people say this? This time around I have come to India not just as an Indian (which I am proud to be) but as someone who is here to absorb and experience the Indian way of living. I also will be searching for or rather trying to experience evidences to support the above claims. I must say, with utmost regret that the evidences for a collective development have been difficult to spot and i do not see India growing for all. What I
