Happy Independence Day!

-
Hello everyone, I know, I am acting quite strange this year. Writing and stopping in middle. I’m not regular to my blogging. I’m sorry for it.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY TO ALL OF YOU!

I wake up early in the morning. I look outside; the brightness has taken its birth. I look towards the wall clock. It’s ticking and reaching to 7.50. I wash my face and step outside for a walk. It was Sunday. There is a kind of jolly environment around me. I look at others; everyone is trying to enjoy their moments. Some kids are playing cricket, some are just chatting away, some oldies are talking about recent developments, and some more I can see are busy doing their own work. I go to a tea stall and ask him to provide me a cup of tea. He smiles and tells me to sit. There are people at tea stall who are reading newspaper. I don’t feel like reading newspapers anymore so I ignore it, sniggering. Meanwhile, I hear girls laughing on a joke. One of them again repeats the joke. I hear it, again. But, I don’t laugh.

Just forget about whatever you have read above and now the actual article starts:

We all celebrate Independence Day! OH! Wait! Do we all celebrate Independence Day? That’s a question, I ask everyone. Well, to say I don’t get much of interesting response. Some say, they are going to sleep all day or enjoy the national holiday. Is Independence Day only a holiday? No it’s not. Not at least for me. This is the day—we Indians got Independence. This is the day when British gave up on ruling India and the UK parliament declared India has an Independent and free country. Many people gave their lives just for our sake. Did they show selfishness while fighting against goras? Why they sacrificed their lives for our future and predominantly for India’s future? During my school time, this question always disturbed me. I figured it out by discovering an answer which involves one word—Love. People sacrificed their lives because they loved India, flawlessly. Trust me; love without flaws is a true one. Let this be at one side. Let’s look at us. Do we love India? I think we don’t love our country. If we loved it, we wouldn’t criticize it, so much. I mentioned above, I left the habit of reading newspaper. It is because I can’t read my country’s destruction. Rapes, murders, kidnapping, drugs, scams, and stories about irresponsible citizens: is all one newspaper consists of. I know not reading all this won’t change anything. But not reading it, gives me comfort. I know it is hard to observe such things in society. We do it, every day. I won’t make this article too big. I just want to ask you all one question: Do you love India?
       
 If yes, then hats off to you!
       
Stop criticizing your own motherland, fight against what matters to you, live life with dignity, respect everyone, and last but not the least make India a better place to live. Please contribute towards prosperity of our nation.

I heard it. But, I did not laugh. I stayed calm and walked away. I was feeling angry. The Joke was:
               
India can never be an independent nation. Because it sucks like anything!

This was the joke! I hate those girls who read such a filthy joke. Dirtiest joke, ever I heard. After sometime I was passing by a bungalow, an old man was reading a book. He was reading it loudly. I went near him and started listening to him. He was reading about India’s achievements over years.

  ‘Why are you reading out so loudly?’ I asked him.
  
 ‘I want people to know what all India has achieved after its independence. They feel India is good for nothing. So, I’m just informing them, India has achieved everything.’ He replied. I liked what he said.

What I believe is: India will always be an independent nation because its people are not dependent and are free to do what they actually do! I think what I believe is the truth. India is recognized by what I and all Indian citizens do! So, be a good person.

JAI HIND!

Laughing At Yourself is More Important Than Laughing At Others!

I have seen people getting angry at them, feeling guilty about mistakes they did but what I haven’t seen yet is – people never laugh at themselves. It has ever happened that – a classmate of yours has asked a foolish question to your professor and it is followed by a string of laughter. Have you eve r felt laughing at others is very easy but being a laughing stock is hard? The feeling of being a fun element is hard to swallow but laughing at something or someone is never tough. Everyone’s Target Making fun of others and taunting them again and again about where they went wrong, and how foolish they’re won’t help you in life. What really helps in life is observing your mistakes and working on it. The example of laughter I gave in the first paragraph can also influence a person in a negative way. It or she may develop fear of becoming a figure of fun and would never any question ever in front of people. Yes, it is also a kind of indirect bullying. Well, laugh...

Short Story: Man Standing in the Dark (Part One)

Part One   HOW OFTEN DO WE COME ACROSS A MAN WHO STANDS ON A DARK ROAD EVERY NIGHT TO DO A VERY STRANGE ACTIVITY?  Since last three years, I have developed this habit of not sleeping until 3 .a.m. in the morning. I don’t know why but I read all night and sleep all day. Everyone at home is mad at me except for one person. That is my father, who is a retired lawyer. Every day it is my mother, who is yelling at me, but I don’t see him having any problem with me reading all night. Initially, I thought he’s bored and he doesn’t give fuck about what I do, but it is not that way. Maybe he’s aware that I am not gonna do anything wrong staying awake all night, I thought. This thought rested other thoughts which were about to take birth and float in my mind for the rest of the time until I got a real answer to it. Helpless, I knew, those’ll come out anyhow.             So, one day, when I was sitting reading a Stephe...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

MS Dhoni—the name needs no introduction. He is also known as Captain Cool. He is also known as the best finisher, best wicket-keeper, Mahi, etc. Yesterday, when I heard about Dhoni stepping down as India’s limited over’s captain. It came as a shock to me. It was unexpected but with Dhoni it is always a surprise. Like every cricketing fan, I also became sad by learning the fact that he only had one match to go for completing the milestone of 200 matches as a captain. Before his decision— I was observing from the last few months, every article in the newspaper regarding Dhoni had a piece of his retirement plans and his unsuccessful campaign in World T20. Some articles also stated that Dhoni is done with his successful career and he should retire. Everyone in the press started asking him questions regarding his retirement. Although, our Captain Cool, stayed calm and answered the questions tactfully without creating a big issue. Sometimes he did lose his coolness but he never sto...
