The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga

I wonder if Mr. Jiabao has read "The White Tiger”? I suppose you will feel highly revered when a person (An Indian) addresses a book to you and tells you the condition of bereaved Indians who represent 80% of the Indian working class. When I talk about Indians, I mean the actual India which sweats day and night to earn their daily bread and sleep with grave thoughts of being run over by a posh car on footpath. If they manage to see the Sun next day, the battle continues. Book talks about Darkness. The Darkness in hearts of various Indians. The Darkness that curbs them to see dreams. The Darkness to which people are so used to that they have started fearing light. The Darkness in which they are born and will die one day unnoticed. The never ending Darkness. They are obvious slaves of that elite class who have sucked blood out of Darkness from centuries and their descendants are following the legacy. A slave knows the master than anyone else does. He knows the inner monster and the fake mask they wear to deceive people. Despite putting branded clothes they stand naked in front of their servants. We have already heard that one fish is enough to pollute the pond and I would add that no fish stays clean in the polluted pond more or less. Delhi being the biggest trade centre and heart of nation is being dissected artfully in the book and the blockage in arteries and blood clots are clearly visible. This book provides us an insight into the notions of Slavery, Political games and bribery every now and then. When that pollution suffocates these servants, they know that there is a need to find a way, no matter what it takes. No exaggeration and no underestimation. Mr. Jiabao, no wonder that we parted our ways back in 1947 as Socialist and Communist but the book portrays that it has done no good to Indians. A sense of smugness about the foothold of China and your futile thoughts of any competition with India in the course of becoming superpower will go to dogs. But you see we are progressing, it will take time but then you must have heard that slow and steady wins the race. It is an old Indian story Mr. Jiabao, you will find it interesting. We never counted on dollars for our stand in the world but we are now learning the tricks of trade. God knows what the future holds for us but I believe it is bright. The Darkness sees a light at the end of tunnel, Mr. Jiabao.

Darkness signified!

All we want is to hide in dark.


Starry moonless nights awaits
Inside thirst and hunger stakes.
Stepping up and down with mark.
All we want is to hide in dark.


Robbers, mongrels and scoundrels
Pave way to wipe away Federal
Make plans to rob in park
All we want is to hide in dark

Secrets Betrayals Stabbing Hard
Watching emotions, keeping a guard
Having untold stories to hark
All we want is to hide in dark.


Mistakes forgiveness misery sorrow
Attributes of anthropology and borrow
Time ticks in conspiracy or lark
All we want is to hide in dark.

Gust of winds blowing and hurling
Closed eyelids and eternal feeling
No bustle of wars or dogs bark
All I want is to hide in dark.

Random Thoughts!


What we think never happens and that is the beauty of life, full of surprises- no matter good or bad. It keeps an individual get going in all domains and gives a reason to live. Had it been monotonous, there would have been no definitions to success. Such instances are rife but our preoccupied mind finds it hard to grasp and manipulate. We never try to learn things from our mistakes. Instead we embrace it as non-resistant zone for ourselves. As I said examples are rife, you don't need to find any, you may be one of them!
A fanciful day may embellish your life and you feel like everything is great and I am on the top of world. But when we are down in dumps, we generally curse everything around us and feel the turmoil inside to be the most prevalent and witness an unprecedented control over us. This may be acceptable at times but if it lasts longer then definitely you are in a trouble.
It is a naive human tendency which makes them a prey to niche things. They see what they want and relate every happening to their interest. Nothing substantial can be achieved by seeking temporary feel-good factor. It takes you to utopian state and you start receding from reality. Best thing to curb anything is to avoid it. We all think the same! Comparison between two states is not at all fruitful unless it is between bread and butter and not earth and sky. Walking in someone else's shoe defies any argument of not considering the other side of view. The matters that lay buried deep in the heart swallows and make them shallow. Not everyone can live to our expectations and hence we should accept the reality rather running from them. But accepting a reality and forgetting it are two different issues. The former is the solution and latter an intense form of problem. A person who can see the reality is the one who is most successful; they don't seek pleasure in futile things. Instead they know what they want and how they can get it. May be two or three years down the lane, they will struggle but after that world welcomes them with open arms. Now it is up to them to reflect the same or to turn the head around.

Junior year - stagnancy!

One more year passed and marked its significance in my diary. I just totally loved this year. Had some of the amazing things to learn, to enjoy, to cry, to fight, to forget and to live.

A gust of wind it was
Intricated with downs and ups
Incomparable merries and worries
Reached zenith scaling skies
Then down to dearth and drown
In vastness of deep blue ocean
Swirling motions hurled me around
Fighting was waste as it sound
Victory is futile to celebrate
If it comes with adage in crate.

Gongs roared again!

(This blog post is not intended to hurt sentiments of any caste, person or community. It is purely based on an individual thinking. We, the citizens of India are living in a democracy and that Democracy endows us with Right of Expression and Speech under Article 19. This article is not aimed at disturbing security of the State, public order, decency and morality, defamation, incitement to an offence, and sovereignty and integrity of India.)


Here again we witness the upsurge from Gurjars. Reservation is the issue burning whole country right from 1950 when our Constitution took its first breath. Who would have thought that initiatives taken to look into grievances of lower caste people and giving them unfair advantage to uplift their social status will one day mould into habit of creeping along with crutches of reservations.

Those faces squatted on rail tracks display an utter sense of satisfaction and in their eyes, floundering is dream of a better life and a guaranteed job. Colonel Kirodi Singh Baisla is leading the front and tactfully swayed the crowd to join the “un-named” movement. Most of the youth don’t know why they are into this movement. All they know is that if government accepts this demand, their life will be become a fairy tale. This shows how can an uneducated crowd can be turned up in massive number. They trust Mr. Baisla and he has assumed a role of self proclaimed God amongst the community. He orders and people blindly follow. If we turn to J&K where Gurjars account for 20% of the total population in state, reservation is neither demanded nor given. Then is there something special with Gurjars in Rajasthan. As per official records and wiki says Gurjars are basically people known to excel in agricultural, pastoral and nomadic activities from long back to their origin in 6 th century. Then why is there an urgence of demanding straight 5% reservation. This is not a war whose decisions are to be made at the stake of anyone's life. Situation was created right in 2008 when violent protests were made. On one side you are demanding reservation owing to backwardness due to lack of education and prevelance and inclination of mass towards agriculture and at the same time they want RAS or RPS to be some of them, who did nothing but herded catlle his whole life. Giving 1% reservation at the moment is just the only way to handle the bipartite situation from getting worse. Official census, if done, as per orders by Honourable Supreme Court, will clear the mist. They are demanding 5% reservation and I am pretty sure that they won't comprise more than 10% of the total population. So are they like asking for the jobs of new born or for the one on death bed. There has to be some mathematical logic about this 5 figure or is it just decided in wantonness. Seems like they all are a group of agitated child, who is sitting out in open after showing fury and crying and weeping on the floor asking for a doll named reservation. This has directly affected our industries and tourism. Industries are suffering setback of crores/day due to unavailability of goods on time by trains. Royal Rajasthan on wheels got full booking after a real long time but the insurgence soured the plans of merrymaking organizers.

Hesitation shown by Mr. Sachin Pilot, (MoS for Comm and Tech. ), upon recursive call by Mr. Baisla to join the same community delegation for talk, is fair enough to illegitimatize their demands. As an educated person and a responsible citizen, he knows what is right and instead of going with the flow. He is neither opposing the demand nor he is supporting them.

If this reservation accepted we will have 68% reservation in Rajasthan. But for no matter what happens, Sun will rise everyday.

Random thoughts

Shades of life!!

Thought to cry on another defeat
but no surety that it will not repeat.
Survival is hard and no free entry
it repeats and hence we call it History.
Futile is the word for time passed
nothing gained but badly surpassed.
Reason of such fate might be a curse
things I want from heart never purse.
Hope keeps me alive sometimes
I Call it a poem as it rhymes.
Became a puppet of destiny
Trend may continue and potray irony.
