Ferrari- My First Love

Not so long ago, I saw you for a fleeting moment,
But your heavenly beauty etched it in my heart permanently,
There you are showing off your gleaming and unruly self,
Ready to cut through winding roads at wild speeds, one imagines,

With a roar of your engine echoing through valleys ,
Powering away like a herd of horses blowing up puffs of dust,
Those who drive you are mere mortals giving you direction,
You are a force of nature much like the prancing horse on your chest,

A great driver lives and dies by your side if he makes a mistake,
If he lets you slip at maddening speeds on a wet road,
Teaching us the art of restraint at a huge price,
Those who own and drive you are lucky beyond measure,

Enchanting many but bullying many into looking stupid in front of you,
You take us on a ride eternal through valleys and mountains,
To new heights where many deny to have reached,
Your voice goes through my ears, getting my heart racing,

Sending me to a different world where you are mine,
Where I ask you to roar all day just to satisfy myself,
Where I ask to entertain me by throwing you at corners,
Pummelling you on a straight road to extract every ounce of speed,

I spend hours on the wheel driving you over huge distances, just you and me,
Your unreal speeds asking to cross speed limits with no fear,
You tempt me and I keep my right foot like a monk meditating,
But before I can embrace you, reality dawns and you leave,

Your engine roars and wakes up, calling you wild horses back to life,
The red light relents becoming green like lush grass,
Asking you to jump ahead and shoot away into distance,
Bringing out a yelp and a growl from the engine cutting out all other noise,

I say goodbye with bated breath asking you for our next meeting,
The sooner it is, the lesser the pain,
Just one ride with you is enough to change life,
Be it red, yellow or blue, you look eternal in every shade,

People crave to see you turn up firing on all cylinders,
And most of the time you don't disappoint,
The blaring screams and gurgles from your unsatisfied engine,
Is enough to prize open the hearts of many,
Goodbye my dear Ferrari! Rev yourself home!

Problems Of Eastern India Part I

India is a country with major national issues to be solved being at hand to be solved. Many of these problems are found in the mineral rich eastern parts of the country where low economic development has lead to drastic illiteracy, poverty leading to armed struggle from the tribals in the form of the Naxal movement.   The Naxalites have a huge presence in this region, controlling heavily forested areas. They  are tribals who rose up against the government in the late 1970s.The conflict goes back to the failure of implementing the 5th and 9th Schedules of the Constitution of India. These Schedules provide for limited tribal autonomy towards exploiting natural resources on their lands and land ceiling laws which limit land to be possessed by landlords, as well as distribution of excess land to landless farmers and labourers. The caste system is a big social aspect of this conflict too. The Central and State Governments have been fighting vigorously to protect innoc...

MY AMBITION

Ever since, I reached grade five, my language kept improving, and, by the time I passed out from grade ten, it had become good enough to make my ambition of becoming a writer of stories. I had always had that ability to channel my ideas easily into words.    I was always trying to express myself through words. When I was about 2 and a half, I got this problem of repeating words thrice, slowly this problem receded, but, I remained a shy speaker in my class till I reached grade ten. In the farewell, I took the emotional approach of saying goodbye to my friends by making a speech, laced with a thank you to some bullies who had made my life miserable, but, also contributed to my becoming a rock of calmness amidst all I suffered in words. I kept myself cool and showed these bullies the door out of my mind. The bullies used to strike me down by telling me about my physical frailties. But, they didn't know my mental toughness which was on display when I gave my parting speech ...

Magical Rain

Black clouds close out the sun’s hot rays, The hot Earth waits for the cool water, It looks as if the sky sheds tears for the Earth, The time nears for Earth’s rebirth. The clouds opens the taps wetting the Earth, Seeing that all my sorrows get washed away, I look at kids running onto the street to play, The wet smell of the Earth refreshes me. Rain drives away dust and pollution cleaning air Cooling the wind & our minds too, Rain makes the surroundings magically green, Making our creativity reach heights unforeseen.

Nepal Shaken by Earthquake which was always expected in the area

The Earthquake in Nepal had been expected by geologists doing research work there.Some parts of Eastern India and Southern Nepal are categorised as Terai region which is known to be composed of soft soil and were originally wetlands. The Himalayas are the second most earthquake prone regions on Earth after The Pacific Ring Of Fire a ring of 425 active volcanoes that stretches from Japan to Canada.No presence of serious seismic activity in The Himalayan Region had scientists staring open mouthed.  But, Mother Nature had its reply in the form of this devastating earthquake. I know its cruel for me to justify such devastation. This earthquake's inevitability struck me very hard. But, the Nepal capital's buildings had been hurriedly built and were not built to withstand earthquakes of such high intensity and authorities were caught napping in the rescue operation. May the people who died Rest In Peace.

Small Moments Matter

Life makes you learn that great lessons are hidden in small moments, A few words in the heat of the moment hurt, Some words of encouragement to your stressed friend, These little things gain significance as days pass, A few words from your mother after bad day at school, Those hours together at school create lifelong friendships, Those silly jokes and names created by friends, Those game played with mates now distant memories, A hug from your closest friend after a bad result A kiss from your sister for the gift you gave her, A pat on the back from Dad for your hard work, These little shows of affection are what we miss when away,

Problems of North Eastern India

India is a country with a very diverse set of people with different cultural traditions and different ways of life so the problems faced by the country also have many components. The North Eastern corners of the country are cut off from the rest of the country due to its unforgiving terrain and the huge amount of rainfall. The people there live a very different form of life, with their diet and religious beliefs being very different as they are mostly non vegetarian and are mostly Christians by faith.  There are also many militant groups demanding separate states for each tribe. The people of this region are fed up of their being neglected by the government for so many years. Many people from this region are labelled as being 'Chinese' when they leave their homes in search of jobs to the big cities of the country.  The North Eastern community of Delhi is under great stress as there are scattered incidents of violence against them. They mostly work in the...

Silent Whispers

The wind doesn't know what it whispers these days, The weather has always held a power to amaze, Each time there's a different tune the rain plays, I don't like how dangerously the coconut tree sways. The heart was never afraid of being set on fire, I have realized love is something we can't acquire, You also can't expect to find it in a proven liar, It can't be found in someone full of worldly desire. I can't find someone who makes my heart whisper, Someone who makes life seem like a fun adventure, Someone who finds beauty in the endless azure, Someone who laughs with me as I turn balder. Life is all about small moments is what I've heard, It ain't a broth that needs to be carefully stirred, It is about embracing that which is unheard, Finding some lessons which can be transferred.

Problems of Teenage

       Teenagers abound in the world today, they have great talent and potential to be unearthed, developed and cared for.    A swell in the global population of young people has the potential to transform economies for better or worse, depending on the decisions of today’s policy makers, according to a new United Nations report.     In a report released by the UN Population Fund estimates that the global population of young people between the ages of 10 and 24 has hit 1.8 billion. Great news if you fall under this age group, but, let reason dawn, to unlock your potential governments are under pressure to step up investment.    The challenges are most acute for less developed countries, where nearly 9 out of 10 of the world’s young people reside. India alone has a youth population of 356 million. The report’s authors called on governments and donors to invest in this population’s education, employment and health.   ...
