History creates itself....!!!


Who do you think is going to make it???
Barrack Obama or Hillary Rodham Clinton???
Barack Obama has built a commanding coalition among democratic voters, with especially strong support from men. While women remain a Clinton stronghold(for the obvious reasons). Obama still leads. But there are signs of vulnerability for Obama: while he has a strong edge among democratic voters on his ability to unite and inspire country. Clinton is still viewed by more democrats as prepared for the job. She’s scripting a tenacious stubbornly unyielding fight back to win votes from big states. Whether Hilary wins the democratic nomination or Obama does, history will be made in the U.S., where no other than a white male has run for the highest office in the land. A dream for many liberals who have chafed at the white male domination. A black man with an Islamic sounding middle name slugging it out for presidential candidature!!! What could be worse (huh?) than that? It will be like a tight slap on the egos of those white Americans who are prejudiced on the skin color issue.
Of course I don’t have anything against Hillary. I mean sharing the same gender I must be supporting her like any other woman. But I think more than women empowerment its racial discrimination that needs attention. There is a certain bias among individuals when it comes to holding important political positions. Their individual identity has been put under scrutiny. They are now referred to as the ‘black’ and the ‘woman’. More than their capabilities, its gender and color of the skin which has now become the hot topic for discussion.. If I had to pick, it would be Obama. But now all we can do is to wait and watch patiently. And I fear that if Obama emerges as a winner in the democratic race, he’ll be assassinated soon because such is the cruel side of this world. The weak is seldom allowed 2 raise his voices let alone become a president that too for a country like America. A country where racial discrimination is predominant. If Obama wins the presidential candidature (although it is said that republicans will be more liberal when it comes to dealing with India) it will hurt the egos of lakhs of racial discriminators. I confess I don’t know much about the U.S. elections but I am certainly oblivious to the fact how strong a foothold a president can set in the world affairs. A black president of U.S.--- a statement which if turns into reality would cause a sweeping change. Hopefully the hatred/discrimination will vanish. Hoping against the hope.
*Fingers crossed*

Not all scars show, not all wounds heal.....


Sitting on the sea-shore I close my eyes,
and try to forget the pain and agony within....
You say I am hated, dreaded and despised,
But those drops of tears will tell you that I've been nice.


I liked you, I missed you and loved you beyond words,
But now you make me realise it was a felony comitted.
I was called heartless and my words were taken for lies,
But even that lie had a grain of truth inside.


According to you I lost your trust,
But there was nothing to lose coz you never trusted me enough,
You believed me and I shattered your hopes.
And you mocked me everytime I suffered and tried to cope.


You want to erase memories of me,
And kill me, slaughter me and rip me apart
But boy it aint that easy
Coz Ill always be there SAFE in your heart.


But no I woudnt ask for forgiveness
My hard core ego woudnt let me
You leave me distressed and I suffer in silence
My life's gone to the dogs and now its a complete mess.


I tried to ease things between us
But it would invariably backfire
Your rude remarks were unintentional...of that i was sure
But you never tried to communicate
Whether your love for me was really so pure.


You always acted soo demanding and victimized
and went a bit far too precipitous and bitter
you may have had plenty of reasons to be distraught
but I was aggravated by the way I was being treated.


Already stabbed by your hurtful words,
You made me cry myself to sleep everyday
Losing myself and completely cracking up
Thats how I lived my life day by day.


Those red puffy eyes
May never scream the truth
But the deafening silence between us
Will definitely wake you up from slumber.


So wake up
Coz it might not be too late
Better now than never coz
I promise I'll make you to beg me forever.


So lick my feet and kiss my shoes
Wag your tail and I might let you lose
But dont dare bark and make things worse
Coz ill pull off your skin and not let you remorse.


Healing my heart and drowning my woe
I commit myself to the bottle
Making merry and dancing to my tunes
But in reality torn between doubts and confusion.


How could i possibly forget??
My sheer astonishment to your angry outbursts
My resentful remembering
My days of utter pain in the heart and my silent suffering.


I hate you so much
That i could never love any one again i felt
But dont take it as an offence
Coz i mean it an insult.


Now that you are gone life's hazy and deceptive
And am mortal afraid coz theres nothing to gain
I have naysayers around me
Telling me that i am going completely insane.


Dont try to soothe the pain
Because the pain will never be soothed
But you rarely take interest in it
Considering it dull and uncouth.


I chastised myself for acting so emotionally
And i cursed myself and talked nonsense
But no more do i have the emotional strength
To counter your current vehemence.


But you still woudnt say sorry
May be because you are stoned or just plain shy
But now i so very wish you were dead
Would have been reason enough for me to cry.


It now seems presumptous that u would care
Your reversion to angry sarcasm
Has eroded my optimism too
But dont worry about me
Because am learning to detest you.

UNFORGETTABLE SCHOOL LIFE.....!!!!!


Harking back to the good old school days refreshes a lot of memories. Such bitter-sweet moments still lingers in my mind like the residual taste of coffee that stays on the tongue long after one has emptied the cup.......

I spent most of my school days in Army School Secunderabad & Bolaram(1-12) & that was the time when I made friends for life. I still remember the first day of school. Dressed in a clean,neatly ironed uniform with a hanky pinned to my shirt I was ready for the so called big day. I was rhapsodizing about my new clothes to anybody who would listen. Of course the banshee screams,filling of the bucket with tears &the tantrums I threw on the first day is a tale in itself :))

I was this mixture of a smart,naughty kid & being the youngest in the family I soon got the label of a spoilt brat. Whenever I got caught for my intolerable behaviour I was always ready to feign ignorance & put on the trademark innocent expression[i m so known for it :)].....I still miss those bumpy joy rides in the school bus ,the long conversations filled with giggles with my friends during the recess under a tree,the sharing of tiffins during classes.......the teachers,my friends(nisha,dolly,norah,ankita,nikhila,nidhi.etc)---all made a profound influence in my life. They were all there to support me,boost my morale & cheer me up whenever I was feeling low.....


The best part was that I was nominated for filling the posts of the office bearers of the school(the school appointees). Cant describe in words how anxious I was. I knew what a hash I had made of my interview & wasnt expecting much. During the assembly I was declared as the School Vice Captain. The enormity of the situation hit me so hard thatI almost forgot to be happy. I was in stun mode & that was one of the few times when I realised that I was better than I thought & stronger than what I believed.......it was a learning experience in itself.....the Investiture Ceremony,the dipping of the flag for the oath taking ceremony,marching with the head held high.....I wish I could relive those moments *sigh* :)


I'd be really missing something if I dont mention the P.T.A.'s. It scared the living shit out of all of us.We loathed it completely. Also everyday we were given an avalanche of homework & the regular exam sessions did nothing to ease our worries :(.... We all knew that the 'devil in disguise'(teachers) would leave no stone unturned to tell our parents how much of a nuisance we were in class & almost all my maths teachers had the same thing to say(i was lousy at maths....nevre really got the hang of it)---- "u useless brat!!! learn from your sister. She is the epitome of good manners,good intelligence & hard work"...yeah right(sarcasm)!! As if I was some deranged creep off the street....!!! (lol) & there was also this P.T. teacher of our school who believed in sitting under the shade of a tree & inflating his stomach like his inflated ego. He looked like one of the extras in those gangster movies(pardon my language but he was such a pain in the ass)!!!!!


Like any other ordinary school school girl even I had innumerable school crushes*winkz*(i had my first crush in 3rd class) :D Ofcourse I tried attracting all of them but they were immune to my charms...lolz

Now time to get a little philosophical. School life does a lot to nurture one as a human being. Its when one realises their biggest strengths & weaknesses & works on them. School life is about enjoying each nano second of the precious days & coming out of the protective cocoon......sounds like an over used cliche ??? Trust me.....this whole experience makes u a better person overall & makes u realise that life doesnt come in black & white but it comes in shades of grey.... :) :) :)

I WAS AN ATHEIST UNTIL I REALISED THAT I M GOD!!!

Standing with their hands folded & the closed eyes & the lips moving in a silent murmur.....a most common sight of devotees in temples. Thats what sets me thinking. Who are they prayin to??? To a non-existent god??? Well personally I dont glorify religious superstions; on the contrary, i'd like to make a pretty strong statemnt against it.

Since the beginning of time, spirituality & religion hav been called on to fill in the gaps that science didnot undersatnd. The rising & settng of sun was once attributed to the sun god & a flaming chariot. Earthquakes & tidal waves were a wrath of the 'gods'. Science has now proven them to be false idols.Since the beginning of history a deep rift has existed between science & religion. Outspoken scientists like Copernicus were murdered by the church for revealing scientific truths. Galileo who claimed that it is the sun which is the center of the universe & not the earth was kept under house arrest. It was difficult for the church to believe that how could god put sun in the centre of the universe when it was the earth which should be so dear to him!!???!! Religion has always persecuted science.

If religion continues to promote pious myths as absolute fact, scientific progress would halt & mankind would be doomed. All the holy books carry a similar requiremnt & same penalties. They claim that if I dont live by a specific code ill go to hell. I cant imagine a god who would rule that way!!! Since long woman have been treated as outcasts & considered as a source of object by these religions.The holy books are simply man-written scriptures.Frm a rational perspective this idolising of god is as absurd as any cult. If sumbdy like him/her(mother earth as they say) truely exists then why are we all living in hopeless misery?? Or should I fall for the words of a priest who says that the god is simply tryng to test our patience?? A testing time huh?? Thats a white lie! A lie to cover up all the other lies. But the truth remains that there is no god.Where is god?? Is he hiding behind the mountains?? Or has he built a wall so high that he cant jump over it?? Science takes time to bring out ideas. It tests and validates them. It doesn't attribute everything to fantasy and claim to have all the answers. The Origin of Life is a controversial affair, no doubt. But theories, proofs and explanations do exist that support the scientific version of it.

Richard dawkins's international bestseller "The god delusion" has argued that theres no evidence of god's existence. Agnostics argue that the whole religion buisness may be irrelevant but a 'god calld god' does exist. Gone are the days when a statemnt like that was simply swallowed & digested(with no indigestion problems apparently) lol....Now is the time when we question not only the existence of god but also of our own existence.Are we trying to imagine that god must have simply waved his magic wand & the earth got formed???Just answer one question...if you think the entire universe and everything in it is too complicated to have come up on its own then how did the super complicated God who created all this come into being ?

"My god is bettr thn ur god"....how many times hav we heard this statemnt before?? & wat exactly are the number of senseless holy wars that hav been fuelled by that sentence?? I demand an answer. An answer to an unanswerable question!!!


NOTE: The above views & statements are entirely my own & hence my intention is not to hurt anybody's religious sentiments.I can be an atheist or I can be sumone given to a pooja a day.Either way its nobodys buisness, unless as a public personality I use my piety for self promotion(as many politicians do) *winkz*

WHY OH WHY!??!?!?!?????


Why are you scared of being alone?
People here have hearts that’s already torn,
Why are you troubled to see the end?
Look around you will definitely find a friend.


Why do you need a hand to hold?
Try and face this world being bold.
Why do you strive to be the best?
Just be yourself, just as the rest.


Why do you need a shoulder to cry?
Accept that this world is simply a lie.
Why do you build up trust with infinite ease?
People in future will definitely deceive and cease.


Why do you stare at the stars all night?
They are lonely too pinned up there tight.
Why do you tremble in pressure or pain?
People will not see them as they are insane.


Why do you crave for the lost dream?
It was just a flick that made you scream.
Why do you simply feel rejected?
Abiding by ones virtues has always been complicated.


Why are you scared of being loved?
Everyone don’t betray, so stop being cowed.
Why is loving someone else not your case?
Everyone has a broken heart beneath a laughing face.


Why do you stare at your cell waiting for a call?
You are simply wasting your time my doll.
Why do you constantly check your e-mails?
To get depressed after your search fails.


Why do peoples slaughtering words hurt you?
They have been doing this, this fact isn’t new.
Why do you exhibit to this world your softer half?
Practicality rules the world so they will just laugh.


Why are you staring at Hippocratic faces?
People here have been hiding them since ages,
Why are you even trying to be an advocate of God?
Your words will be killed brutally by Satan’s sword.


Why can’t you gather strength and get up again?
Life’s blows are recursive and easy to sustain,
Why can’t you fight and try and change your fate?
If not sooner then, then why not a bit late.



NOTE: The above laid out poem IS NOT a piece of my imagination & IS NOT self written.
