Here is another resplendent and vibrant day, but before I end up wishing everyone, would like to bring something to your notice. Am sure you are loading your weapons with water tight balloons, pichkaris and are ready to empty your water tanks, so you must know about a place in Gujarat. 
Amreli, a small district in Gujarat, its cracked and parched soil shows that water has evaded this barren land for decades. No young man is able to tie a conjugal/marriage knot over here, reason is simple, the prospective bride’s parents opine that if their daughter gets married in this village then she would have to travel barefoot for 5 kms to draw a pail of water from an endangered distant well.
And we have the privilege of turning the tap of “fountain of life” (motor fueled) on and then splurge it lavishly, without giving it a second thought.
So next time you think of directing your water tight drone at an unaware bystander, think of those who’ve breathed their last, because that one drop of dew never smiled on their parched lips.
Happy Holi!

Oscar goes to Once upon an animal!

Today while scouring through news paper, i came across this bizarre news, in Nagpur's zoo, there was a male full frown tiger who was starving, to satiate his hunger, he was served a goat, to everybody's astonishment, this tiger instead of pouncing and devouring the meek goat, started playing with the frail creature.
Strange but true, God drilled more sense and compassion into man than in animals, but hands down animals have taken the Oscars for humanity, while humans are still striving in foreign nominations!

While I was waiting at a traffic signal yesterday, I noticed that almost every other child/ toddler or an adult is crippled. Their lean frame was resting on frail crutches.
Surprisingly that even though we boast of robust economy half of our future is crippled.
Those crutches are meant to cripple your senses and drive you into shelling money from your disappearing pocket ( cause of budget). Although their limbs are as strong as that of an ox, however this ox does not want to drive their horns into us but drive crutches into our vulnerable senses for a change.
Akin to how a government functions, it does not live by its spade, but by it populist ways.
It’s time we see that this nation and its future is freed from the clutches of its crutches!
