LOVE'S LABOUR LOST





Its very easy romancing these days…. In fact nothing can be easier than dating with a man or a woman. The word ‘romancing’ has run clichéd. Sms has taken the place of writing love letters.

Issac Asimov, the famous science-fiction writer of the present day had long conceived of a school which would not have a separate building, would not have men or women as teachers, would not have books. Instead thousands of books would be fed in the memory of the mechanical teacher (a computer-like machine) that would have its place next to the bedroom and would be assigned to teach only a single student in house only.

Love would perhaps have to squeeze out the least labour for attaining the hearts of the crushes. God knows what device would be invented to replace a man or a woman in search of a love-pack ( I don’t mean the rubbers of course).Gone are the days already when ones perseverance resulted into a long-awaited-letter from the other half ; going through each line of which made the heart pounding like the train on the track and of course not to speak of the white spaces between those delusive lines that made imagination sprout out in full bloom and weave dreams with the virtual silken thread for attainment.

It is not there anymore. Junk your boy or gal-friend anytime you like because you deserve better and there is no room for compromise that we call understanding with an added pallor of sanity.

Whatever it is …. Love cannot wait these days because there is no labour in it.

THE DARK SIDE OF ME



Its me LUCIFER.....During my childhhood the arch-rival of Mandrake, the magician, who was named so, had influenced me and after that my maturity was enthralled to find Lucifer the most pragmatic, wise and powerful prowess one can conceive of.....He stands for the masculinity, self respect and defiance.....all that I can identify in myself.....

Home Alone


Its not about the movie....it's about every human being who really needs some SPACE to delve deep within oneself in the round-the clock-hurriedness. Every step of life is caged. People who try pathetically to prove that they are not alone quite publicly are found to be the loneliest ones and do need empathy.

We must learn to make the best use of our loneliness. It is a scope that situtaions provide us to curve out the best within ourselves.....

Paradise Regained



Well....undoubtedly smoking does have a detremental effect on our general health. I really did wish quitting it altogether through the revelation through The Telegraph that it hardly matters whether one smokes a single fag a day or a couple of packs. My determination had been underlined by few more strokes that my favourite actor Amir Khan has quit smoking ( it may sound rather teenish) and the review that in India the success rate of quitting smoking is as trailing as 2 per cent only.

However by the rule of the thumb of the smokers I somehow managed my way to the self gratification of one single cigarette a day with the logic of the doctors that I have consulted with regarding the revelation of The Telegraph that it was just a single document which says that one or one hundred, the same is the effect and it pales into insignificance with much larger researches that IT DOES MATTER.

So I am what I had been a monthe ago......its a reversal to PARADISO.
