For you, a thousand times over.

After reading the last page of 'The kite runner', I closed the book and closed my eyes.
With a tear in my eye i could feel the urge
 to dive back into the book,
 to cry in sorrow,
 to smile on seeing a ray of hope,
 to sympathise with the character,
 to run the last kite for him,
 and to never open my eyes again.

For you, a thousand times over.
One of the best books I've read in a very long time 'The kite runner - Khaled Hosseini'

Graduating & Emptiness

Sitting amongst excited family members and friends, with their best dress on, eager cameras in their hands, constant cheering and clapping, happy faces & tears of joy, I patiently wait for my brother to come on stage to receive his CPA degree, a big milestone in his career. Though I am extremely proud of him, I feel a sense of emptiness, a sense of not deserving to be here to watch him get this honor, because the person who really supported him through this journey is not here to witness this first hand. I missed you mom and I wished every second of that minute, that you were there to watch your son earn his 5th and biggest degree so far. I put on a smile and a little excitement to celebrate with him, but the minute I see him walk down the stage with his degree in his hand, i see it in his eyes too, the emptiness. 

To My Country

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

But I have promises to keep,

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep - Robert Frost

Dedicated to every Indian,

 There's a long battle ahead of us, but congratulations, because we've taken our first step.

India- You make me proud.
First the BIG win - the World Cup 2011, the World Champions, the whole country celebrating as 'ONE'. And today,  a fight towards a better nation, a better democracy, a better political system, a better society which will all lead us to be better Indians. The year we won our Independence, we took an oath, to having Justice, Equality, Liberty & Fraternity. An oath that was not kept. Today, we as Indians, will fight for this promise to be kept, fight for an anti-corruption law, fight to give that 5 year old slum girl an education and a roof above her head, which she deserves, FIGHT to become a corrupt free India.

PS : Even though I am miles away from you, my battle prevails & shall always will. I love you.

The Theory

Characters in the event :

Ashwath : My drunk 'ass' friend

Bharath : The mastermind behind 'The Theory'

Diana : The pretty girlfriend

Adrien : The DJ

Govinda : The stranger

To understand this eventful day, uve got to first know 'the theory'.

Bharthi's Theory : I'd rather be born a girl* in my next birth than a boy. (*Conditions apply)

Rationale : 1. Because its easier for a girl to hook up with a boy than viceversa

                  2. Because the dating stage is much more heavier on the wallet for a boy than it is for a girl

                  3. Because during any life crisis, the women and children are given first priority.

                  4. Because a man has to open the door and give way for a women, not vice versa. 

                  5. Because women are allowed in women's change rooms, men are not. Ha!

(Theory still under construction)
