Fantasies...

I wish one night I would go to sleep, only to wake up the next day to find myself blanketed by the warmth of the sunlight, in a seashore may be; just me & no one else around. The little waves would slash against my feet, welcoming me to their emancipating cosmos. The Daffodils standing in a row with panache, would be waving & smiling at me to make my day.

I wouldn’t have to bother about attending another boring lecture, or submitting yet another report, or being nice to someone I least want to face, lest I hurt him/her, or for that matter, getting over a lost love. I wouldn’t have to care if I look good enough to bear a presentable facade in the society.

I would go and sing to the dancing dolphins. I would hop into the water to take a ride on them. I would play around with the squirrels & nibble a nut or two from a tree. I would watch the sparrows fluttering their wings, times & again sitting on my shoulders & whispering a word or two in my ears; perhaps alluring me to get off the ground along with them, to see how the earth looks from the sky, to feel what it takes to be so far from the profanity existing below. Its then that I wish, I could speak their language, or may be have a wing or two to take off & land over the clouds.

The lilies would pull me towards them, coaxing me to recite to them the story of how the debonair Prince came on a galloping white horse & swept the floor off the gorgeous Princess’ feet. The rainbow would beckon me to join him to sprinkle color over the rest. I would shout out at the top of my voice & there would be no one to hush me to silence. Only the flowers, the dolphins, the squirrels & the sparrows to join me in my lunacy.

I so won’t wish that this should stop, but just then the bedside alarm would ring off, welcoming me back to the reality; to wake up & get ready for yet another boring lecture, to prepare for yet another presentation, to veil my weeping heart with that fake smile yet again…


P.S.- With majors over & an entire month of holiday ahead, I agree I had nothing better to do than let my imagination run wild, to get my mind off some other perturbing thoughts. So kindly save your thrashings & abuses till atleast my results are out. ;)

Created to Rule

Okay, so may be you get no freaking idea as to what this post is going to be all about merely by reading the title. Yet, I leave it as such simply to create an interest for the otherwise boring article and make you go through the entire one to find out why I named it so (pardon my barbaric act). It won’t be too much of a lie either, to mention here that I actually couldn’t think of any other apt title, hence the ‘mystery’ created by me. I once again realize (perhaps for the 10th time today), that I possess this utmost ability to keep moving helter-skelter and writing all non-sense for a page or two before pouncing upon the actual point, which I happen to summarize tactfully in a few lines, and which I’m trying to prevent for the first time ever.

So finally coming to the point, this article might be a little too philosophical for some, way too non-sense for others; but to me, it did strike a chord somewhere, which I why I am penning this down in the first place. I marvel, how a few things are so much better and easier written, than preached or said aloud.

The other day while chatting to a dear fellow friend, I became prey to one of his yet another ‘short yet sweet’ philosophical lectures, if I might call it so. The purpose of it directed towards me… well that’s yet another story. Let’s not go into it for the time being, but this is how it went.

It is about human origin. Long time age, God very cleverly, absolving from his own errands created a being called WOMAN- to bear the sole responsibility of the Universe. He made her emotionally intact, nurturing, self-sacrificing, who knew exactly what to do when, and the ability to provide immeasurable love and care to fellow beings. These helped her cope up with her toil. But with time, she began facing problems of her own while solving others’. She had no one to shield her from the negative vibes out there. That is when God felt the necessity to create MAN, as the protector, to look after the needs of the WOMAN. Thus along with this background, the WOMAN by default became the chooser; she was given the right to choose from a herd of Men as to whom she wanted to be her protector.

But the WOMAN was a woman after all !!
She let the MAN share all her rights and allowed him to walk shoulder to shoulder with her. Eventually as time passed, she forgot that she was ‘Created to Rule’. And today the excruciating situation is that the WOMAN is being subdued, tormented and used; so much so, that in some places they are killed in the womb itself, as if it’s a sin to be a WOMAN!

I really didn’t intend to write this stuff as a feminist or anything of that sort. Just wanted to use this as a podium to urge all the WOMEN out there to realize once again that you were born to Rule. So there is no point spending your life in a slumber. You can actually make things happen, make the entire world fall at your feet, only if you wish to do so. Well, may be this won’t even reach the ears of those women whom I specifically want to address, or those who are being tormented the most. But I would do my part all the same.

I don’t know how many readers are going to agree with me on this, nor how many would even be able to take in what I had to say. I only take solace from the fact that atleast now you all know the relevance of the Title of this post, if nothing else. Last but far from least, would like to thank Haldi for his untimely advices n philosophies, which give me a reason to post new articles in my otherwise passive blog every other time :)
