Poison

In the old age days of kings, queens, and chariots ride  Conquering a neighboring kingdom was a matter of pride  A few powerful kings had a charismatic personality  They hardly bothered about the aftermath of the fatality  The tales of Ramayana and Mahabharata are not merely mythological  They carry messages for the modern-day people to be logical  Two characters in each of these tales who hated the heir to the crown  Manthara and Shakuni, for their revenge, turned the tables upside down  They were individually sober people, incompetent to enter into combat physically  Their malafide intentions were unknown to anyone, they were tough mentally  When the moment stuck, they released the venomous poison in the minds they had trained  They were patient enough to wait for years to ensure their enemies were brutally pained  History is proof that neither of these people was wrong in their actions  They played their role to perfection as they were destined to spread dissatisfaction  Even in thi

Escape

E scape is perceived as a negative emotion Running away being the literal notion The other angle is one may escape commotion Sometimes one escapes being in deep devotion S ometimes, a criminal escaping from a prison has a twin side The cancerous corruption in the system opens a debate wide The power of criminal taking the system for a ride Creates fear in the minds of common man who is law-tied C oming out an argument to avoid tantrums is not escape It's a move to maintain relationship garnered by scrape Arguing with closed ones is painful like a mental rape Relationship hurt, and cut is difficult to bind by any tape A s the modern man grew under the shade of technology He strives hard to achieve a perfect happiness psychology In the process, he unknowingly disturbs the natural biology To escape the self made burden, he escapes to mythology P eople choose to run in the early hours of morning  The reason ranges from practice to podium earning This also helps one remain fit, as it le

The Three controversial decisions during India Pakistan T20 world cup match

Image
The three controversial decisions at # Indiapak #t20worldcup2022 match on 23/10/2022 and the cricketing laws regarding the same. 1) The Axar Patel runout - Though the ball hitting the stumps was evident, whether it hit first or later was the question. The only consideration the third umpire took it seems was the ball was travelling towards the stump and in all sense it would have cost the batsman his wicket. This was the most controversial decision but least discussed. 2) The 4th ball which was a full toss bowled by Nawaz was a tight call by the onfield umpire. The rule book says once an onfield umpire declares a No-ball, the Third Umpire cannot reverse the same. when the ball hit the bat, it was above waist height but Virat was out of the crease and on his front foot, this led to massive controversy. The leg umpire was composed and within his rights called it a No-ball. 3) On the Free hit ball, when Virat was clean bowled, India ran 3 runs.  Many cricketing pundits thought it was

Gestures

 That evening still stays fresh in my mind When I promised to meet her alone for the first time Lots of anxiety within I covered wearing my best outfit As I began the preparations, "Where at this time?" A question from the Supreme Court of my house Brought me back to my senses from my dreamworld "Going to Karan's place for studies," I replied instantly As I stepped out in the open air, I felt a different world My mind zoomed into an a overdrive of emotions My gestures and actions amused every person around I reached an hour before the scheduled time to the spot The place was barely occupied but I was blusing happily I waited with baited breath for her to appear at the horizon At a distance, I found her walking towards me gingerly My heart started beating loud for everyone around to hear To relax myself, I closed my eyes, and wait for the magic As I opened my eyes, I could see her passing by wihout waiting  She gestured silently, her family was walking besides he

The Enterpreneur-ship

 "I wish to own premises like this one," I said to Rama sipping the 'cutting' tea.  He laughingly asked, "What will you do when you grow up?"  "I have a business plan, I will open the first music centre of the city along with the regular milk supply and the paper supply, like our 'shet' does." I replied proudly. "Wow.. that is amazing yaar. You will give me a job na?" seriouly, he asked. Those were the days when I was a milk delivery boy and a paper delivery boy. My day started at 5:00am. Though the body wanted to sleep for a few more minutes, the mind wanted to become a rich man of the city. Having 100 litres of milk on each hand, I used to go walking to each of the 200-250 houses delivering milk. Some households had fixed requirement, while many of the chawl house owners purchased on cash basis daily. The challenge those days were not carrying 100 litres of milk but the dog barks and dog chases. Each day, there would be a new st
