The Possession of a Preoccupied Mind

Hey, how you doin'?  No, I am not rewatching Friends for the zillionth time.  It's just that I hate to start traditionally.  I'm in a conflicting situation: some of my readers like my conversational tone, but apparently it isn't quite acceptable to the publication agencies. Two of my best-appreciated stories were rejected because of their tone. The rejection felt like a jolt that I could practically feel in my head, especially the second one.  Since that day, I've been caught up in a vicious loop of boredom because I stopped writing anything new.   I also called off a new transcription gig that promised me some good money, but the client was a tad bit of a scoundrel in his behaviour.  So here I am, having voluntarily stepped away from both writing and work, and somehow managing to be bored out of my mind. Pretty efficient, ain't I? I'm in that peculiar state where I don't want to do anything to kill time, yet somehow want the time to pass joyfully. I ...

Can Independence Be Equated With an Authority

Independence , sometimes we deduce the term as letting us do, speak, and conduct ourselves the way we want. But these things are merely what the term entails, the characteristics of it.  The term has multiplicity when it comes to definition. One meaning of it is being free from outside control. Having no authority. Another sense of it is not depending on others for livelihood or sustenance.  Given Independence VS Gotten Independence We can infer Independence as an implementation that is either given or gotten.  The given happens when the dominion under which your being exists itself gives you all the rights to enjoy its privileges.  But the gotten part happens when you strip yourself from the very authority under which you exist. The need for such things could be attributed to various factors which might have a stranglehold on you.  However, one thing a person needs to understand is that as long as he lives under the umbrella of dominion, whatever independence h...

Kahani Cable TV Ki

When Cartoon Network broke up with me without a reason I was shattered into pieces. For months I was depressed. Out of sheer desperation, I went on a streak of debauchery with the serials of Star Plus.  The Kyunkis, the Kasautis, and the Kahanis had me in their tentacles until I found my true love in the form of the Disney Channel.   Our courtship was tumultuous with my philandering streaks with Hungama TV and Pogo but kehte hai na ‘’Agar subah ka bhula That's So Raven tak Ghar wapas aa jae to usko bhula nahi kehte.’’ Everything was going fine and for the first time in my life, I found true love ki uski wapsi hui. But this time she had a makeover and now she goes by the name of CN.  She had me dancing on her finger from the moment she returned. She was such a Komolika (The OG Urvashi Dholakia one not the rebooted Hina Khan ) .  Par kehte hai na sachhe pyar main takat hoti hai.... Kounsi wo mujhe malum nahi....  That being said, uske "Nikkkaaaaaaaa" main a...

Notion Underdeveloped

Don't get clicked on your wheelchair. Crop the part which is showing your braces.  Why? Are those making me any less of a person than others ?  Are those making me any less efficient than I already am? If I crop the braces does that momentary manipulation change the reality? Missing the Obvious Despite looking at the real and practical favour these aiding devices have made in my life, all you get to see the psychological discrimination that people have.  If you ask yourself then this notion is not even yours. The notion is well indoctrinated in the minds of people that it now has its hegemonic effect on everyone. Not Another Tragedy It's neither bad nor sad. It just is !!! It is that bandaid you have to put on after your central nervous system gets injured.  As simple as that. Don't need to give it an arc of an epic tragedy.  And even if you do give it a tragic arc then you should also come forward with a concluding epilogue. After telling how sad these are , pe...

The Hegemonic Headings

"Punished for their own choices" By Arushi Bhaskar, Indian Express While I can understand the pressure behind the creation of catchy headings having myself been into the industry of content creation I cannot help but to point out that except for the fact that both the murders have happened all the rest are nothing but a narrative of most erring. But what were the choices? The choices of Ayushi Yadav Ayushi Yadav, 21, a girl in her graduation years falls in love with a classmate and decides for a clandestine marriage in Arya Samaj and returns home and spends a whole year at her parent’s house, meeting the boy in public places then returning again to the parent’s house and doing it over throughout the year all the while expecting the parents to approve the marriage and do what ? Keep them both at their house ? Or send them off to the boy’s house ? A surreptitious marriage, was that all that the choice entails? What about the boy? Doesn’t he have something to contribute to t...

A Unified Whole

I don't like to forget that. Why is that? As opposed to the unanimous mandate , i don't.  It's not like i can't, i so willingly just don't want to. As bad as it might be for a memory to lock i would still very much like to have it, remember it , rehash it and cry for it.  It's oddly satisfying. It really is. I love it , love doing it. I love to cry, whenever i get a chance and whenever no one is around i just remember all the things leading to the end and cry. The harder the gasp the more satisfying the whole process of purging my inside gets.  It really clears up. I can feel how light my heart gets after that. I vouch for it.  The convention doesn't always work. What they say can also sometimes be something you should do the exact opposite of.  The need of remembering is as simple as this, If i don't remember, i will forget. You don't have to be the quickest of a cat to get that. And if i forget , i will be forgetting the end. Then it will be someth...
