The Inner Storm.........

Beheading, has been an old and primitive form of public execution to reinforce the “Who is your daddy sentiment” in the targeted audience. And as the current rock stars of the Islamic gun revolution plan to take us back to the camel riding days of the Muhammad (PBuH). We are seeing an increasing number of these incidents. But as long as these don’t happen in our vicinity we ignore it   like the Ebola virus until it came knocking to our international airports. I am sharing some snippets from the last few pages of the Journal of Mr. Steven Sotloff a half Jewish American freelance reporter, who was recently brutally executed in the deserts of Iraq by ISIS after one year of captivity. The act was duly recorded and circulated in the media and even the perpetrators were surprised by the speed of the media and internet nowadays. The publicity their stunt had garnered even overshadowed the Jennifer Lawrence iCloud leak. This journal was found on the person of Indian origin (...

In today’s world, there are a number of activities for which an individual or a group needs prior license or permission. For example, if someone wants to open a liquor shop in the neighborhood, he or she needs to have a license for that. For driving, opening some new business enterprise blah.. blah. But somehow in this myriad web of license raj, we have missed a critical issue. In our Indian culture, generally parents have been given a status only next to GOD, and in some cases even higher than the Almighty. Because almighty is not going to manifest and change your diapers in the middle of the night or clean your dirty nosy…etc etc. But those were the days of Satyug and Shravan Kumar’s. We have also grown up hearing that “A Son can be a KAPUT but a mother will always be the mother”. Till now all is good and fair in the Ramanand-Sagar serial. But the twist comes, when the very people who are entrusted as the caregivers to the infant take liberties or go astray. Our first reaction ...

Dear Editor, Firstly, I am writing this letter with a very heavy heart and anonymously. Now you would ask why anonymously? Answer to that question is that I still teach and I have to feed my family, if the word gets out that I used to teach him, I hardly think anyone would send their ward to my tutorship. I taught him over a period of 5 years, from 7 th grade to 12 th grade. Due to security reasons, I had to teach him alone. I still remember teams of SPG commandos outside my gate. Those head gears and black fatigues, a far cry from the today’s safari suit wearing body guards. So, why am I writing a letter? I have been asking myself the same question since the polls results.  A part of me was happy that BJP finally won, but inside a part of me was sad that the party run by my former student had been reduced to 44 seats from the 100 odd something they had won in last election. He was a quiet boy. Came on time, always brought his books and notebook, never threw any tantrums aro...

       1  . Having family terms with a head master (HoD) always helps . Even if he is gay   2 .        Always have the topper in your group ;  need I say more.    3.         Don’t wait for the next semester to learn something important, you never know when it can come handy,   Patronus charm. 4.        Never do favoritism in team selections if you are the captain . You may end up losing both match and the friend. 5.   Don’t be late in asking a girl out . Because, there are others too 6  .      Win at least one inter college fest, before sending red roses every where Avada kedavra.....

WoW, you found no other coordinates on this vast earth , but India to take birth. So,welcome to the grind asshole. 1. First thing that everybody will hide from you is the forbidden knowledge of sex, and that's the reason you get to know it pretty early. But, remember ,that knowledge can never turn practical until you have not fed at least a thousand fat ass people and spent half your fortune on the drama, which is called the Great Indian Marriage.95% of Indians work their ASS off just that nobody can raise a bloody finger when they marry off the product of their loins. So, bottom line, unless you look like Ryan Gosling, make your right hand your Girlfriend (It will never fail you). 2. Never ever, I repeat, Never ever (not unlike Arnab) pick up paint brush or read any poetry except for exams or if Art n Crafts Madam wears a deep neck blouse. And don't even think of composing or writing something new. It's a crime in India you  came out of the womb with just one mis...

1 .We all want to be terrorists. Some of us work too. 2. We have a compulsory arms training course in P.O.K . 3. Wearing a pharain means that we are hiding a Kalashinkov inside. Actually,it freezes in winter. 4. We never bathe. We too have  electricity. 5. All Kashmiris daily eat wazwan at their homes. Some of us are vegetarians too . 6. Its snows in every part of J&K. It’s not Ice-land for God’s sake. 7. We eat apples “n” times a day. No, we sell them instead 8. We speak only Urdu. We have the highest English literacy rate in the country 9. We speak hindi like Afghans do in Bollywood movies.

It doesn’t have a mindless dancing sequence, where the hero and heroine (viewers too) take a break from the story and let the dance director show case his talent. It has long conversations where characters are straight faced, how can we stand that? It actually has a story which is not run of the mill. In the end everyone can die too. It is preposterous for us (We are Ramanand Sagar fans) Hero doesn’t always win. Unlike Chennai Express We cannot stand blood and gore. We like dishum dishum . We don’t like back and forth sub-plots in our movies. Story can go back only if there is “Pichla/Punar Janam”.
