Who told you the world is fair??   “No, no, no… once someone has sat on a hunger strike for a cause, the genuineness of that cause has been established intrinsically. - AAP Philosophy ” AAP does signify a change in Indian politics. AAP symbolises a shift in our elections from vote-buying to agenda-selling. It brought elections to our FB posts and Tweets. AAP made politics, which happened to be a fashion disaster, a personality statement. Youths, who are often blatantly ignorant of the party’s agendas, find it hip to be associated with AAP; improves street-cred. As if being affiliated to AAP renders them some sort of political righteousness and help them to be perceived as a member of an intellectual segment. It has become analogous to “Eh Man! I am apolitical” of pre-AAP days. I am not denyin...

“We, being a secular party, believe that religious minorities deserve reservation. – Samajwaadi Party” If you are unable to notice the apparent irony in the aforementioned statement, it is by no fault of yours for we have been raised, essentially, in a society where notions of secularism are derived from political acuity and intellectual hypocrisy.

Where dandelions rustled in gentle wind, Where azure of sky meet earth's green, Where streams are all pristine blue, In the heaven of heart , I am dreaming of you.

Where the sun glitters as you smile, Where it drizzles down with your cries, Where all you feel is manifested upon, In that land of your heart, I am dreaming on.

"The world has enough to stay new everyday" W hen I woke up on Wednesday, January the First, miraculously I was almost the same person who slept last night (or rather on the same morning). I had similar thoughts, convictions, prejudices and apprehensions. But, apart from multitude of these attributes that sum up to be my consciousness, there were things which were still hovering in my mind that elicited a sense of continuity towards 2014 from 2013. To shun this staleness and finally have a taste of brisk New Year morning (which I am eventually enjoying today), I dedicated my day 1 to purge away with everything that were clogging my senses from experiencing the liveliness of a nascent year. But this blog is not about what I did on day 1, nor about what I did on those 365 day that flew by; this blog is about etchings of the bygone year that will be palanquined reverentially in this New Year and never be forgone.  Arsenal still tops the EPL chart (the Dane finally save...
