The Dark End

I remember that SSR Project submission deadline was there on the next day. We gathered at manasi house in bandra on previous day. This day was different as usual. When we approached to her house, we got caught in problem of refusal of rickshaws to manasi’s house. This was happening because the day before Bandra’s slum area “Bherampada” was under the fire flames. The cause for fire was blast of cylinder. It destructed about 200 houses, bandra skywalk and their sweet homes.

We somehow reached her house and started working on the project. Everybody went home early at 6:00pm as the area was not good for girls. I waited there till 9:00pm and then left for home. I was so damn thinking on SSR project that I forgot to tell the rickshaw driver to leave me at another area which was unaffected. He took me to the place where the area was under flames.

The area was dark as lights were cut off in order to avoid accidents through sparking of electricity; people were roaming here and there. There were loads of clothes lying on the sides of road. Some of the people were searching clothes for them, on other side reestablishing work was going on, there were relief carts providing food for people, some were looking with different view, and their view was to rob money from people. The people were shouting and fighting for their houses, also some were fighting for food and running here and there in search of family members as some people’s houses were under the attack of fire.

The station was very near, but due to darkness nothing was able to see. I got so much scarred that I was thinking to go back to manasi place, but my luck I got one guy who took me to Bandra station. Thank you god!!

Later, I reached home and rested on bed and thought about the people who I saw there searching for belongings, food, and house to live. I wish that no one should experience such fearful incident. This incident left a great impact on my mind and left great example of whenever at what time we can’t say that life will turn back.

Undiscovered states in national anthem

Have you ever thought of that in India’s National anthem there are 7 north east states, which are not mentioned in it. When I first discovered that the whole India’s national anthem does not include the north east stated I was astonished. This major issue got highlighted in my mind because of a play which was held in our college on the occasion of independence day. I never thought that there is some part of India which is not assuming themselves the part of India as a country. The north east Indians are bounded by a single but very destructive and scary law, which is known as AFSPA (Armed forces special power act, 1958 ). It is a such if it is applied in Metro cities then you cannot believe to express your own fundamental rights which are given by our constitution, even people like Anna Hazare will be killed on mere suspicious and provoking the other people against the government. Irom Sharmila  was not the one who came forward to save the lives of peo...

The Day I shared with Old People

Image
I have never experienced such an atmosphere of deep emotions flowing through people. This is the place where people are living life, which they will never wish in their whole life. Our organization decided to visit there and spread some happiness by sharing some good moments and giving some time which should be given by their family members and not us. It was the first time, when our social organization decided to organize a one day trip for celebrating the auspicious day of “Guddi Padwa” with people, who are living in an old age home. This is known as the New Year for Marathi culture and day for spreading happiness all over. The place was located in Sakvar i.e. Virar.  This home was in the middle of green blanket of trees, open grass lands and express way touching. When we reached, I saw that some people were already ready wearing new sarees and kurta pyjamas. They were so happy that, some people are there in world, which are thinking about us and our happ...

Summer holidays are the holidays when children gets freedom from the burden of education but it holidays are not to be like roaming like free bird or enjoying holidays are to be meant for learning and learning the own’s capabilities to handle, to work on skills and to discover new things in life and get engrossed in it. I  remember  when I was in 10 th Std, holidays for me was an escape from studies and when I completed my 10 th Std, it was the feeling of freedom and enjoyment but now after completing 12 th  and  second  year holidays  for me have taken a different place in my life. Now holidays feels like a  chilling  cold making us  freeze  in all activities. It makes us look back to what holidays meant for us when we were children. Nowadays holidays are like a circle where one should learn to get  accommodate  in the working lifestyle by interning or working for two or three month in an organisation. Even pare...
