untitled



Lying as he is - 
Oblivious, on a dusty road of 
Fractured Earth, 
I see in him a look that is
Not human. 

For he seems worried not 
About things he had not done 
Or regrets about his youth. 
Nor there is a choice, a hesitation,
Etched into every fabric of his being.

Amidst this burden of thoughts, 
These echoes of guilt and memories 
Like restless, unkind ghosts 
Haunts the corridors of my mind, 
There blooms an innocence,
Like the fleeting grace of
God, Unaware of his Purity. 

He being only a pup, afterall.  
Looking at him, it seems
Universe revealed its secrets 
To me. But the world weeps
Alone, still.

SECOND VERSION 

Lying as he is - 
Oblivious, on a dusty road of 
Fractured Earth, 
I see in him a look that is
Not human. 

For he seems worried not 
About things he had not done 
Or regrets about his Youth. 
Nor there is a choice, a hesitation,
Etched into every fabric of his being.

Amidst this burden of thoughts, 
These echoes of guilt and memories 
Like restless, unkind ghosts 
Haunts corridors of my mind, 
There blooms an innocence,
Like the fleeting grace of
God, unaware of his Purity. 

Human heart, the fatal favour, 
where grief wanders freely, 
seeking sucor in embrace of time,
while the world spins on - 
Indifferent. His primal soul 
Lives, here and now. 

He being only a pup, afterall.  
Looking at him, it seems
Universe revealed its secrets 
To me. But the world weeps
Alone, still.

Maqbool | Movie Review

Maqbool - 2003 Directed by : Vishal Bhardwaj Maqbool is a clever character study of a man's gradual descent from loyalty to betrayal; from respect to rage; from reason to madness; from life to eventual and tragic death. Vishal Bhardwaj's Maqbool is powerful adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth, which deals with themes of loyalty, betrayal, love, guilt and death. Set in underworld of Mumbai, Maqbool is realistic portrait of world of gangsters' and their psyche. It is oftentimes dark, serious, repressed and at unexpected times wickedly funny.  Jahagir Khan aka Abba ji(Pankaj Kapoor with his Brando-esque mannerisms), is an aging don of Mumbai, who runs the crime world, with the help of his loyal lieutenant, Maqbool(Irrfan Khan) and Kaka, his loyal(underrated Piyush Mishra). Purohit and Pundit, are two utterly corrupt cops who help them fight their rivals(played charmingly by Naseeruddin Shah and Om Puri respectively). They are film's charm and wit. ...

Has Babasaheb Ambedkar's Vision Come True?

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, fondly known as Babasaheb, remains an iconic figure in Indian history, celebrated for his relentless fight against social injustices and his pivotal role in framing the Indian Constitution. Soon India will mark the completion of 75th years of our constitution. It becomes imperative therefore, to scrutinize whether the dreams harmonised by Babasaheb have indeed been materialised or not. The present landscape of the country sees a resurgence of the ideas of Ambedkar for multiple reasons. And his ideas do supply a solid framework - still, for many of the contemporary issues, which even now seem insurmountable. Central to his philosophical vision for the country was the establishment of a society grounded in equality and justice. His work "Annihilation of Caste" remains a seminal treatise on the subject, where he critiques the rigid and dehumanizing caste hierarchies. For him, the exploitation of Dalits was the major problem that sprouted from this rigid caste ...
