These people…

-

This place… This busy place… These busy people…
These small streets… These noises of masses and transport…
People walking, murmuring, laughing, fighting and on…
The rush so deep and chaotic…
Even the sky is busy with flying planes one after another.

Plastics, smokes, puddle and hunger
These busy people… And their precious smartphones
I see bend heads, peeking deep into the virtual world
No introspection but ignorance
Ignoring the next neighbor and the available environment to some faraway human
Oh! It’s raining!! It’s so beautiful!!!
See those few green plants. Their leaves are shining in wetness!
See those few planted flowers. See those dark foggy clouds.
This cold breeze... This lovely smell of soil!
It’s raining!! Can’t you see!?!?
See!! Look up!! Damn…
Oh… These busy people with their precious smart phones
If this is what being modern is, I don’t want it. I don’t!

This busy place… These busy people…
That small street… Those several shops… The noises
And those several cows standing carelessly & aimlessly
Shops of sweets, furniture, medicine, vegetables… blah-blah
And beside that sweet shop standing those hungry children wearing torn out rags
Those several children dancing and singing cohesively in hope of a metal coin
Metal coin, in which printed proudly the name of my nation
My nation... My hard working government… and these poor children
Is it darkness beneath the ignorance and fake luxury??!

My media... My sensible and patriotic media...
From past week they are showing the funeral of lovely pet dog of a famous actor.
That famous actor is sad, that'so my countrymen. News is viral…
Last night they were showing the news of one politician. He is in jail and wants bail.
So what he did a scam and ate some poor’s money, he is also a human being.
Yeah, some soldiers died in the border while fighting for the nation.
They lost their lives. Nation may or may not provide some incentives to their family.
Although, the discussion in the parliament is about increasing the pay scale of the political members
That army person who burned heavily from the bomb,
His little girl is crying out of fear looking at his father’s dead body.

Incredible India?!

Our visit to Shanti Bhavan - Nagpur

-

Today we visited an old age home - Shanti Bhavan, Mother Teresa Ashram in Nagpur. The realization that there are complicate things happening around us was clearer today. The ashram has around 160 old age and disabled people living there. Ashram is doing great in terms of taking good care of the people. There are people in Nagpur who are visiting to the Ashram in most Sundays just to take care of the people for an hour or two, as for example I met a surgeon today, he told me that he visits here every Sunday to take care of the cleanliness of the oldies. My Experience Today? It was good. There are innocent people who are abandoned from their family. This ashram is taking care of them. I felt real proud in been engaged with such an NGO group and to those who are responsible for my upbringing that I am able to take decision & spend my time here, here with these people. At first I was just standing outside of the ashram, I had little idea of what is inside, what is the environ...

Ride and the Kalsubai Trek

It was a two-day trip from my stay at Mumbai. I drove in the evening a previous day. Having have rode my meteor a good 2500Kms, It was comparatively adjusting to ride 160km from Mumbai to the area near the peak. I have felt that if the trip is pre-planned, it helps you enrich your experience. There is so much more that we can explore and that does help us save time, energy and some money as well. I write with the same intention. Material carrying is important. Wearing bike accessories is essential for safety. This time while driving in the late hours, I felt that I should also carry items like pepper spray, a mat & torch. I carried a battery back up this time which made me feel safer, so to say. To remain ensured during the trip helps to enjoy better. I was calm due to it. I had put Kalsubai peak in the google map. Somehow I was going in the wrong direction. I had planned that I would find some tenting service nearby and sleep inside it during the night. I got to know t...

Why am I a Vegetarian?

-
I am a vegetarian for many reasons. I am one of the people who come in the 5-7% range of all the vegetarians that exists in the world. So that way, I do fall in a wonderful category of a minority! Well, past 7 years I am away from my hometown into different Indian cities & I must proudly say that I have been learning the art of respecting other people’s choice for their diet & to settle with the fact that I could not impose my thoughts onto other’s parking. It is that part which is unethical. Mine and your worlds are different. The grass is green on both sides. As a fresher, when I stepped out of my parent’s den into the real world, I would say that I had many prejudices pre-set in my mind. I remember to avoid sitting with the batch mates in the mess during the initial week just to show off that I don't eat nonveg and it is impure to do so. It was a hypocrite behavior. I am grateful that I came into my senses quite early noticing the fact that it is disrespectful t...
