what do i write about i wonder as the day rushes past me with it's little trivialities. today do i share my thoughts about myself ... or should i mention something good or horrible that's engulfing this world. or should i in the heat of the moment share my heart breaks with some void called the Internet. one wouldn't think that writing is this complicated, especially to someone who gets such a rush while writing.
this post is not about writing however it is about sharing. sharing your deepest and innermost thoughts with a nameless face less void called the Internet. my heart beats with bated anticipation and my breath catches in my lungs as i wait for my blog spot to open where lie all my little eccentricities , my insecurities, my opinions and actions all in the form of a few words that tumble out faster than i can type. and why .... and why one may ask.
well it's all in the hope that some one in this huge void is reading it and calling it his /her own. that these few words are in fact making a difference in some one's life. and someone out there is saying "yes.... that's so true . i feel the same way".

ola india!
what the hell is happening. no seriously. India ....... the land of equality , liberty and secularist seems to be falling apart. the country is firstly being ruled by some fundamentalists who are pointing their murky fingers at everything from religion to art and politics.
the land where all were welcome ( proof: 200yrs of colonization) is now rejecting it's own people. i mean where else in the world currently is a known Don's wife given the post of home minister for state , or for that matter a social worker being branded a naxalite only because he wanted to come up with a rehabilitation program for their families so that their kin don't end up as naxalites.
and most astonishing is the fact that where else in the world is art being subjected to moral scrutiny especially through the eyes of probably the most immoral people in the world. i mean have they ever managed to see the world famous heritage sites in their own country of which they can't talk enough about in front of foreigners .it's these tourists who seem to understand the art more any way. which painting or piece of architecture in India that is above 100 yrs does not show nudity? i mean if one person , 1 person among those who stoned the university or arrested that artist and suspended the dean can show me anything from ancient India that does not depict nudity i will eat my words.
for a country that boasts a population exceeding 1 billion it is probably the biggest hypocrite when it's " educated and learned" politicians refuse to allow sex education in schools or even better file a subpoena in court against an actress who was kissed on the cheek by a man at an aids awareness event.
all the talk about gen x being Americanized and not caring about the country.... just makes me think that if indeed for the last 60 yrs India has managed to reach this level of " maturity" then thank god that when we will finally take over the reins the things can only get better. plus i am not entirely sure that this was the picture of India that out fore fathers who fought to make India independent foresaw. deems to me rather that we were more united under British rule than by ourselves.
