THE IMMORAL INTOLERANCE

From time immemorial books and movies, opinions and ideas, even humour and cartoon have been oppressed and banned due to their incorrect portraying of things. In India this is called intolerance. but are we really a growing community of people who refuse, reject and fight against the unwanted? I think not!
No we are not the people who refuse because we never refused to take part in religious debates. We are not those who reject because we never rejected moral policing. And we are definitely not those who fight against the unwanted because we never fought for the poor girls that were being raped when we were comfortably seated in homes or cafes or offices gossipping about the many wrongs that we are definitely more interested in!
Intolerance is a must but for the things that are not to be tolerated. And who are we kidding, we as a country are having riots inside for being hurt by what others eat. We are mercilessly degrading the comedians who are making harmless comedy on their expense to make us laugh. We are defaming people who are not accepting our ideas when in realty we should be intolerating the hundreds of terrorists who are right now planning the next big massacre. We should be intolerating this resistance in us that accepts to sit quiet on the face of inhumane activities. The helplessness we feel when we see hundreds of people being killed and quietly change the program because obviously seeing this is disturbing. Are we intolerant or just damn cowards? 
In the wake of the Paris attacks what are we doing to tell the terrorism that hides in the corner that we are not afraid but are intolerant against them? Mourning does not help. Fighting it does. And we cant get the big war right if we don't look in our flaws and correct them without excuses. If we don't stop making our religion our one and only priority and refusing other religion like the tens of rape victims that we forget everyday then maybe we have a shot at surviving and defeating not only the terror that lives in the world but one that is inside us and threatens to arise the moment someone disagrees on us,our religion,our beliefs and ideas.
So people lets get our shit together and fight against what really is wrong. Lets fight against every demon that lies within and around us. For every person tortured,beheaded and killed and for every girl harassed and raped WE DAMN WELL ARE INTOLERANT!

PAINTBALLING

Image
  I am 25 years old and fairly old now in this adolescence thing. People now see me as an adult or maybe a kid adult, at best. Funny how each year you look back and realise how naive and childish you are but the current one seems to be the wisest. It's impossible to ever see yourself truly as who you are, at any given time - a fool's baby just trying to figure out the right way to crawl and feel safe.  As kids we all relish in the shadow of stupidity and hence forward keep trying to shed that shadow that we so cherish. because sanity comes with a price- the price of acting wise and proper. One walks about hiding the chaos of the mind, each one afraid of the pop, splatter, thud that is constantly going on in the head, like a kaleidoscope of troubled beads bouncing off each other and hitting one briefly repeatedly, a mosquito coming again and again and you beating the shit out of your head to get one hit at it, one chance of beating out that irritating buzz. What's wrong with

I THINK THEREFORE YOU ARE

Image
 We describe the world as a dark or a sweet or a good place or even an infinite place as if the world is something we saw from the outside. As if you are a visitor, an onlooker, a rebellious invader out here to take actions, either towards or against the world. We see the world as a place you need to preserve and protect or maybe as a dirty place filled with inhumanity where one must swim against the grain to survive. We have dreams and aspirations about the world like a passer-by here in this never-ending universe. But we forget. we forget that whatever that we say about the world, know about the world, think about the world, do in the world only exists as long as we are there to witness it.  What is the proof that the world existed before you were born and would not cease once you cease to exist. This world is not yours as a country to a citizen. This world is your creation. Everything you accept to believe and learn is your perspective, your choices, your take is THE take- the final

CATCH 22

Image
 I'm disappointed of being disappointed. It is the catch-22 of a spiritual experience. Self hatred is a self fulfilling prophecy. Or more like a mirror room. You keep looking at yourself, never quite finding the out room. And constantly faced with the inconvenience of facing yourself,  touching yourself to figure out the how to get out of it. In the process, sometimes you fall in love, but most times you just leave it be. cover yourself in the garb of a crown and similar faces. They call that the way to enlightenment, letting go - of others, choices, likes and dislikes and ultimately yourself. In the journey, you start hating everything because everything is an obstacle when your goal is the attainment of nothingness. You naturally start with looking at all the factors that you have, that you shouldn't have, that you must let go off. Hating yourself for having them in the first place, because if you didn't, how wonderful it'd have been to attain perpetual bliss. And in
