Kaal Chakra!

Did it really happen? Yes it did, the warmth of the blood sprinkling out of my intestine just made an impression on my senses to acknowledge that the acquaintance with a bullet is no more restricted to a cinematic experience but my body has just been subjected to it. Pain is still in queue to…

Liberal Food..

In some corner of the world this speech is happening where the intellectuals are trying to realize and confess the hypocrisy of human race specially the western world, which has always claimed to be the custodian of maintaining peace in the world.

My Favorite Place…

Where Cows, Monkeys, Dogs and Human have equal rights on traffic. Where one can hear the echoes of history. Where the words ‘superior’ and ‘inferior’ are non-existent. Where nature and mankind are tangled with each other. Where one is bound to surrender its ego and become part of the ‘One’. Yes, I am talking about…

My Vivekananda Moment!

The ‘Uber’ application popped up the booked cab details. The name of the driver was interesting, ‘Nek’. While I was struggling to button my shirt in a rush, my mind afforded to spend little time to acknowledge the uniqueness of this name. The first impression which flashed in my mind was, it is ‘Nick’ and…
