The Wounds That Won’t Heal — The Memories That Won’t Fade

You try and try and try
To forget that one person
Get busy with work
Start running, go gymming
Learn that new thing, meet strangers
Sleep with people your heart would not
Do all things to take your mind away
Away from all the memories of a past
Of a life you thought you had left behind
Moments you thought you had buried deep inside
Everything you thought was all over
But One day like a river storming through floodgates
You open up
Open up with old wounds
That you long thought were healed and dried
What did you do oh sweet child of summer?
What did you do to me?

courtesy: The Times Of India He loves me, he loves me not. She'll call back, she won't." Well, not all tales that begin with plucking petals or waiting for a call, end up in bed. For the girl or guy you save the last dance for, need not be the one you spend your life with. But, that's ok. Isn't it? For, till you find your ideal partner, you can have fun with a buddy. All you have to do is just give a call or drop a message and he or she will be there at your doorstep. Yes, having a f**k or a sex buddy is cool, comfy and fun, feel the youth. We talk to them on what they call a "win-win situation." A friend in need, is a friend indeed! Who else, but your buddy to best understand your needs. "A bed buddy keeps one happy, 'coz there are no strings attached. And it's not a new trend, just that now it's a fad, just like having a boyfriend or a girlfriend," says Prateek, a manager with a city eatery. "It's hass...

If Narendra Modi Is Serious About His ‘Surgical Strike’ On Black Money Then…

Image
IF is the word to remember all the while. At 8:15 PM on November 8, Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi in an unscheduled live televised address to the nation announced the circulation of all ₹500 and ₹1000 bank notes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series as invalid and announced the issuance of new ₹500 and ₹2000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi New Series in exchange for the old banknotes. This step was lauded by all (at first) for its boldness and, showing resolve to fight the menace of counterfeit notes running in market and taking fight against Black Money which was Modi’s big electoral promise to new heights. This was initial response (read mostly from social media). But next day when sun rose and people started to function in real world, things got real. The questions on execution of this ‘bold’ step which had large scale ramifications started to make way into normal conversations. But on all that after-effects later. Let’s first dive into that one reason whi...

That Beer-Biceps' Joke Did Not Warrant This Rage; What And Why Are We Agitated Then?

Image
  There is uproar on social media right now over the Beer biceps joke at Samay Raina's popular show India's Got Latent. Ranveer asked the guy on stage "If he had to choose between watching his parents have coitus the rest of his life or to join one time and end it, which one would he choose?". The episode of the show is now pulled down by youtube after notice from the I&B ministry of the Indian government. One, he has said far more objectionable things on his podcast and elsewhere that did not tip the scale for social media patrons to object. I'll revisit this point. Two, why do you think is his latest joke objectionable? And yes, I'll still call it a joke because he meant and thought it was a joke. We can then classify it as a bad joke, obscene joke etc but it is a joke nonetheless. But why was this objectionable? The premise or foundational basis of the joke is a belief that children don't like the idea of their parents having sex. The joke is b...
