A Promise Born of the Brahmaputra

O my beloved Brahmaputra, Mother,O my ever-giving Brahmaputra, Mother, Your mighty flow crashes through mountains,enriching the banks you embrace.The land of yours, fresh with the fragranceof your rich and fertile soil—soil that gives us life,that speaks volumes of the history you carry.From the valor of mighty Lachit Borphukanto the wisdom of Saint Sankardeva,you have shown us the path.The land you nurture cradles our faith,wrapped in … Continue reading A Promise Born of the Brahmaputra

Mṛtyu-Rāgaḥ

As the heart stops beating, memories flash before my eyes—The good, easy days, filled with joy and laughter,And the days of struggle, driven by passion and pain,Where every step felt heavy, yet nothing was in vain. The eyes open slightly one last time,The light seems softer, and the shadows fade,As a visitor approaches, quiet and sublime,Draped in black, yet shining so bright. “Stranger, who might … Continue reading Mṛtyu-Rāgaḥ

The Era of Right-Wing Nationalism

Yevgeny Yevtushenko, a Soviet Russian poet, once famously quoted, “Why is it that right-wing bastards always stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, while liberals fall out among themselves?“. The quote stands in stark contrast to the late 20th century trend, wherein post Second World War, particularly after the Cold War, countries across the globe started electing liberal parties to power in a gradual but steadfast … Continue reading The Era of Right-Wing Nationalism

THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND PURPOSE

The desire to delve into the intricate subject arises from the profound wisdom passed down by my father, which can be symbolized as a theoretical equation: “Research is equivalent to Meaning & Purpose” Taking it a step further and defying grammatical conventions, I dare to modify the equation to: “Life is equivalent to the quest for Meaning & Purpose” This leads me to the initial … Continue reading THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND PURPOSE

How much is enough?

It was an eventful weekend – perched on the bar, sipping a cocktail, eyes glued to the TV screen watching Hardik Pandya dismantling Pakistan’s middle order when a random post popped up – How Much is Enough? Amidst the high-pressure environment, the simplicity of the question put my mind into a spiral of introspection and inquisitiveness. Was the question asked from a monetary point of … Continue reading How much is enough?

Was something about it wrong?

It all started with a hello, wrongly delivered, and a reply, never expected. Something about it was wrong. The monosyllabic chats wilted rapidly, to make way for paragraphs, woven together by warmth, passion and humour. Something about it was wrong, but who cared? An unlikely friendship began to flourish, one whose language weren’t words but meanings . Something about it was wrong or was it? … Continue reading Was something about it wrong?

The teeny-tiny hands

The following article is a first-person recreation of a real-life scenario that I was blessed to witness and couldn’t stop myself from putting it on the blog I wanted to eat something. It’s been a couple of months since shifting that I got to eat something unhealthy viz fast food. Sounds creepy?! Not to someone (ME), for whom evenings meant KFC and weekends spelled B-I-R-I-Y-A-N-I. After some … Continue reading The teeny-tiny hands

The Taliban takeover and it’s impact

I’ve read articles from a global point of view, as well as form USA and NATO’s point of view. Let me attempt an answer from Afghanistan’s point of view. The Afghans are fiercely against any form of foreign occupation and love their independence. It’s crazy enough but Afghanistan gained it’s independence in 1919! They fought against the Soviets and pushed them out and now the … Continue reading The Taliban takeover and it’s impact
