Go Corona! Go!

Tears are draining, 

Smiles are fading, 

Go Corona! Go! 

How many more lives do you want? 

How much grief do you still desire? 

You are a murderer no doubt. 

But you are not just killing people. 

You are killing hope. 

You are killing trust. 

You are killing love. 

You are killing humanity. 

Heartless and helpless, we are afraid to wipe a tear off someone’s cheek. 

Dejected and distressed, we are scared to offer a shoulder to weep. 

We have no weapons to fight you, 

because you stole our most powerful weapon called “touch”. 

Hands are not held to alleviate pain. 

Warm embraces are no longer available to spread hope. 

You pushed us apart in our greatest hour of need. 

But, do not even for one second think you won. 

You lost in every tear we are shedding for our helplessness. 

You lost in every word of courage we are sharing without actually coming together. 

Apart we shall win over you. 

Once you are gone, we shall come back closer than ever. 

Go Corona! Go! 

I badly wish this mantra works at least once.

The Tyranny of Filming an Irony

The chilly cold breeze of the December winds was scarring his face. Anshul was staring out of the window unbothered of the freezing pain caused by their cold fingers. He was deep immersed in his thoughts about the on-going project. The days weren't harsh. He had been through harder times. This time his thoughts were more concerned about the impact his film is going to make on the viewers. Even one life saved is saved forever. He knew the impact films could have on people. When films could westernize people, teach them all sorts of violence and all sorts of crimes, then what great wonders could films do if they spread values? One good film is a one-time vaccine that hits millions of hearts in a single take and then keeps them immune to evil for a lifetime.

Letter to Society Campaign - Open Letter 2

Dear society, You bothered me when I was an average student. I hated Math and you didn’t like that fact. You thought my parents reputation depended on my marks. You said I was putting them down - No, FYI I love them and will always do. And the respect they have earned cannot be tarnished by my percentage in math. No! You bothered me again when I was doing extremely well in my studies years later when I have learnt my interests and followed them. Didn’t you want that in the first place? You wanted me to get married because girls are supposed to settle at the right time. I’m a reason to worry for my parents because I chose career. You couldn’t comprehend what will I do after I study so much. Finally a girl had to get married. You were so worried about my future prospects - Actually you wanted me to study but not so well, earn but not so much, rise but not too high. Who will decide what Is the right time to do something and how much is enough? You? Sorry I disagree.  You were so so wo...
