About Nothing

Have you seen that girl Who wears vibrant colours The sun shines upon her The grass grows around The road walks with her The birds her companions Across the country and town. Have you seen that smile Those rosy cheeks That glow of skin That freedom in breath? Or have you seen her pain Her anger, her darkness Tell me what  have you seen of her.

We all feel strongly about the British Raj in India and India's struggle for independence. We were done wrong by the British(so were various other countries). Now in the modern day, all countries have learnt to live in mutual harmony, respecting each other's independence. Recently there was a video circulating on Facebook that showed Lord Macaulay's statement given to the British parliament on Feb2, 1835. It described how he had traveled across the length and breadth of India and saw great richness both in terms of wealth and morals. He said that India had a strong backbone of Spiritual and Cultural Heritage(which i believe, to this date, implies). He proposed to replace the ancient education system & culture with the British system. He said, "If Indians think that all that is foreign is good & greater than their own, they will become a truly dominated nation." Basically the video meant to send out the news that some rich guy in India, Mr Sanjiv Mehta...

When this world was going crazy I stood up, for myself and this world I marched, I worked, I loved I helped, I created I blessed, I prayed, I praised Today the world is a beauty Full of lush green forests Little children playing in the gardens Small families, big families and the biggest, this earth, this world All happy, all peaceful, all beautiful And I, I lay here on this barren piece of earth Bare and brown No green, no blue, yellow or orange Just bare brown It’s growing grey, dark And I, I wish all of that would actually be true. i tore the page off and kept it in a diary and was pretty embarrassed. never wrote a thing again.

I do understand that some people want to know more about things they are interested in. But who says it is compulsory? It is often seen that in our school curriculum, we are forced to learn about scientists if we want to learn science. Sure knowing about great people and their methods is both inspiring and informative..but what if we want to be absolutely original? One must agree, inspiration does cause adulteration of pure art and innovation. Our subconscious mind does do the Copy-Paste thing. Can a Scientist not be inspired by his own curiosity instead of Einstein? Can an Astronomer not be inspired by the stars instead of Galileo? Can a Painter not be inspired by the landscape instead of Monet ? Can a Dancer not be inspired by movement instead of Anna Pavlova? Can a Musician not be inspired by sounds instead of Beethoven? Can a Writer not be inspired by his own experiences instead of Charles Dickens? Do we really need to know the Master of the Game to play the game? Wha...

We all know Google is offering some beautiful background images for the google home page. But for those who don't already know, in addition to Google Chrome having themes designed by google, it is also offering themes by different artists to match your tastes. (Personally i feel that these themes are better than those offered by google ) These themes range in colour from shades of pink to blue , and from white to black. The patterns include everything between flowers, butterflies and animal prints. Themes also include Toffees, Cars and Games; and ofcourse cartoon s(like famous Japanese cartoon, K-On) and celebrities (currently Britney and Mariah were the two i sighted). Here's a little sample: Mariah K-On The one I'm currently using

Here's something i wrote as a child(copied as it is, no editing done) but sill believe in. Plants provide us with food and oxygen, key requirements of life. Plants are responsible for our lives. They should be God. It's odd we cut and burn our God. (and btw, make our own survival difficult each day) The Sun gives us light and heat energy. We can't function without this Star.   So sun's also God. And people actually did and do worship the Sun. So the Waterbodies are God too. Water, the fundamental of life. And we pollute are God. And lastly, why leave out Human Beings. In this civilised world, we all depend on one another for survival. So each person around us is God. (And so are the Animals. You know how you don't prefer to wear anything but cotton  in summers, remmember where that comes from. ) ...well not that i instruct you to worship all of the above, but plead you to show some respect. Everything that we do ultimately effects us. Do...
