From childhood’s hour I have not been As most were;I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. —Edgar Alan Poe In the pic: My new bike Schwinn Searcher 4(2013)

                    What is this? A very very short story titled ‘Twitter short story’. Guessed where the action takes place? All right good. Is this a real story? No!. My common sense and ego has succeeded in thwarting my sincere efforts to convince myself that this is a real incident from my twitter life. Fact is that it is a fiction. But what is the truth? It’s not in my nature to complicate things .May be these cute people who scan twitter every other minute might find some resemblance which could be their illusion or co incidence or just that, it’s the truth! The story:                           They met each other by flawless chance. No other pollutants. Just pure chance. It was a typical definition for ‘chance’ that you would find in any lexicon....

She's a diaphanous whelp, Whelped by the unservile woman,time, To her opulent master,Cricket: One among a muckle of whelps! Most her friends are his bete-noire. But he loves her,She knows. It's to her,commiseration! She's to  him(mind),Comfort . Indigence!He needs her,She knows. Benevolence!Forever to stay,She yearns. Arcane Creator concealed 'How',she rues. All die over time!But not all memories torment.

Nations have passed away and left no traces, And History gives the naked cause of it-- One single, simple reason in all cases; They fell because their people were not fit. Now, though our Body be mis-shapen, blind, Lame, feverish, lacking substance, power or skill, This is the Law which every law embraces- Be fit--be fit! for Honour's sake be fit. Let clear conscience rule us, In heart and mind be truth, And let's create more reasons to feel proud, Proud of our heritage..our Nation!! HARK!!The whole nation is waking up, Let new leaders arise and lead.And remember; Boys and girls, men,women and kids-- Be fit -- be fit! And once again, be fit!                                            --Added to Rudyard Kipling's poem

This is a real incident that happened.Time,date mentioned are not accurate.And to many,the year may not matter but it might to Some of you.It was first half of 2003. Time: 11:15 AM                  Hearing my answer some of the girls of my class giggled.I was still standing with still head not interested to know who giggled.From the direction it came from I probably guessed who it could be.The teacher was clearly not expecting what I said.So he asked again what I said.I said the same name again and the class went silent waiting for me to tell them why I had told that name. ---------------------------x----------------------------                           Those days I was not a movie freak as I am now.I used to see movies only when I am really stressed out..like after semester exams or during festival time.But I was the same die hard cricket fan and followed the ga...

                                      मजबूर दिल कह रहा है, मुकम्मल करावो , अधूरी सी याद को, बातचीत में,होंठ की, ख़ुशी में,हंसी की, घुस्से में,आँखों की,  जब झुकें,भौंह की, पर मिलने को मंजूर नही, किस्मत को क्या करें?

          Total recall is a neat Sci-Fi action film but it sort of tires you out with too much action and little twists for 2 hours.        First things first.This remake has no weird/bizarre faces except for a ‘3 breasted prostitute’ who appeared for a scene.It doesnt try to be funny even for a sec unlike the old one and it has lots of robot soldiers (but only a few man Vs machine fight scenes).        I am that kind who usually find it very unsettling to see flying cars and other weird things. But I liked this futuristic world where all the action happens. There is   a ‘real world like’ Colony,where it would rain mostly and a synthetic ‘United fed. of Britain’. Absolutely loved the cinematography. Also made me wonder why they did not shot it in 3D.        The 2 female leads (esp. Kate) were equally powerful and good in d action scenes but I felt bored after ...
