THE CHANGE

Everything changes with time. And we are too busy to notice the gradual change.

However, when we do get time to look up from our busy lives, we realize that we are in a completely different place with strangers all around. Strangers who were friends or people we knew well at one point of time. We are forced to strain our memory and try to think of the reason behind it all.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I distinctly remember this happening to me. I have always loved my friends and I know that they are the best friends any one could ever have. I believed that we were inseparable. I had never ever imagined that things could ever go wrong with us. I guess I was wrong. I got so busy with so many other things that I don’t even know when exactly the rift began. And it was too late by the time I did.

This post is dedicated to my oldest and bestest friends.

I know that things will never be the same for our group. However, I will always cherish our friendship that made the school worth attending, life worth living and so many other things worth doing!

Beyond Living Room Conversations

On my way back from office, I saw social activists holding candles and protesting peacefully against corruption..

It is moments such as these, that make me think in a completely different direction. We get super excited about a cricket match. Spend an entire day glued to the TV set and burn crackers with joy at India's victory. The entire nation unites for a game and celebrates as the Indian team brings home the World Cup and we return to our normal routines. Don't get me wrong.. I was one of the revelers too. The question is whether that same unity will be available now when it is actually required. Our support for a noble cause sparks in a conversation, where we express our strong opinions and the sparks die off as soon as the conversation is over. How many of us will  actually go out there and do what we preach and strongly approve of? Hopefully, this protest will unite India like never before and the sparks will last beyond conversations, thus putting an end to corruption.
