Need of the Hour..

What is the need of the hour?

Is it secularism?

Is it industrial/ Technical Growth?

 I don't think so.

The need of the Hour is:

To make people learn and understand about environmental changes.

To initiate and adapt changes in lifestyle and living - to preserve earth.

To make everyone understand there is something more important than religion, Borders, caste, race ... it is humanity.

This should be basis of our education system.

We learn and adapt in the beginning years of our life cycle.

Why don’t we educate young minds on being liberal, preserving earth and also respect women.

If we feed our coming generation with these principles, we'll be able to have a truly educated society in near future.

We all need to give up our egoism and our competitiveness to cherish human race and nature.

I am writing this on account of what I’m seeing as part of promises by leaders for General Election in India and People around me, at my place or at my office or anywhere I meet.

Still Life (3rd entry)

Just before going to bed he poured some more Scotch into his glass... another ritual he required for sleep. Sleep... a state where nervous system is inactive and consciousness practically suspended... state where he wanted to be forever...

"Soon this all be gone" He said again ... finished his drink and dropped himself on bed... few minutes later the apartment was filled with his snores... 

Morning has to come...

Still Life (2nd entry)

As he finished the drink, rubbed burned cigarette butt on the wall which has signs that this scrapping was a ritual... the turned to go back to the room. His attention was caught by a pigeon trying to adjust itself in small space on the wall. 

"Birds... Now they have no trees to live upon... they settle themselves in tall buildings, towers and poles. There is no bird community here... while at trees there are hundreds of them chirping... in mornings and evenings..." he thought. 

His lifestyle has left no space to enjoy the little things in life... there was a time when he used to keep enough grains for these birds. He came back into the room... looked around and asked himself... is this what I always wanted? was it for money? was it for family? was it for self satisfaction? what was it for that he's living this way since last two years?

Still Life

He came back from office... unlocked door, removed his shoes, kept aside his leather bag, sat down on that rocking chair and closed his eyes...

The first teardrop started from his left eye and then followed from the right. 
his heart rate grew... his mind was striking back one after another all the negative thoughts... "You have made a terrible mistake" his mind said... "Think about your family"... 

He stood up... grabbed one of those cigarettes from the table and lighted. Made himself a Johnny Walker and took his steps towards balcony...

"Soon this all be gone" he whispered...
