United we stand...

.."Dad were there any blasts in Mumbai yesterday??" i asked unaware of the recent terrorist attacks going on in Mumbai, as i started reading the article in the newspaper i could not believe what i was reading, Terrorists openly firing at railway platforms and taking hostages in the Taj. More than 125 innocents killed and the Taj on fire, Victims of the firing unable to digest that their dear ones were not anymore. A man happily  boarding the train till the previous minute, lost all his six family members to the gun firing while he went to purchase a water bottle, someone lost his aged mother while some lost their kids.The entire Mumbai was pathetic to watch on televisions, everyone watching the burning Mumbai helplessly with tears in their eyes. I still could not believe my eyes, bloodshed everywhere and people were so scared and were stammering on televisions with fear in their eyes. Three police officials risking their lives to save the lives of a hundred. Earlier there have been continuous terrorist attack all over the country but this was by far the worst of all.               
                                        
                                             These terrorists take away our lives leaving many in grief and despair. No one has the right to take away our lives from our hands. No matter what happens these terrorists cannot break us and we will fight back. In tough times like this....."UNITED WE STAND...UNITED WE FIGHT"

The green suitcase

"....while you are going to Pune take all your luggage in three bags, we have one bag, buy one more and the big green suitcase can hold most of your luggage", my dad told me this a week ago before i was going to pune to do my MBA. All this striked me one day in the third semester during the mid-terms as i was staring the green suitcase remembering about my parents, my brother, Hyderabad and how much i missed all of them. We purchased the suitcase while i was in my 9th grade may be January 2001 while my dad and mom planned for a vacation in Delhi and surroundings. My parents got their LTC and were very enthusiastic about the vacation. So a week before our travel, dad got the green suitcase, a big spacious one with wheels below and clips on the top and a locking system (which we never used till now). We were all geared up, when suddenly there was a major autorikshaw strike in Hyderabad and we had to catch the train early in the morning at 5:30. Finally on the day we got o...

A glimpse into my future

...........or atleast that's what I thought it was. It was again a dull Tuesday Morning and I was waiting to get X-rayed, I was getting a few tests done and one of the tests included this one. Just a few minutes ago I just had my blood samples collected in three different tubes at which time I asked the lady "Will it hurt a lot?" and I am very sure she laughed behind her surgical mask. After the blood samples, she pushed a small plastic container on the wooden desk towards me and asked me to get it filled with my watery waste and I promise there is nothing more humiliating than carrying the filled container all the way towards the end of hallway with people on either side. As I sat waiting to be called inside the X-ray Room, I heard a low dry cough and when I looked to my left there was an old man about 70 years or more, his skin was drooping, especially his cheeks. The drooping and the skin of his colour reminded me of a South Indian sweet dish. He was o...

Tuesdays...

"Many consider Tuesdays very unauspicious but to me, they were the most wonderful days in a week"- This was three years ago in my Engineering first year. Want to know why? coz i had my EDC Lab and someone very cute and pretty would sit next to me as my lab partner(..can't reveal her name). Hmm...as soon as Sunday would start three words would go round in my mind "day after tomorrow".After a long Monday(..i hate Mondays), Tuesdays would seem very short. Getting ready for college on the big day(every Tuesdays),I would start thinking about how to talk to her and make her smile. That day i wouldn't miss the college at any cost. Sitting in the bus i would be lost in thoughts, recollecting some funny quotes i would scribble in my lab notes trying to impress her. Entering into the class i would look for her and just her glance would make my day(..in fact, the whole week) with a big smile on my face i would go to the last bench and keep looking at her. ...
