Stocktaking

We know that a new year is not the beginning of anything new but the continuation of the old with a new awareness. Yet this consciousness about the passing of time is a necessary action - a short pause to take stock. It's vital to acknowledge and salute our biggest enemy – Time.

Twelve months, seven days, 24 hours are our ways of checking time. But the reins are always with time. No number of checks or scales can let us control time. Time is the ultimate winner and the winner takes it all...

My dear countrymen

A guy stops his bike in the middle of the road, walks to the car behind him and uses the foulest expletives at the guy behind the wheel. People look on, no one tries to stop this guy and actually, they seem to enjoy the whole scene.
On another occasion, a guy blocks the road with his auto on the pretext of some religious event. A motorist who questions this auto guy, is abused orally and physically, and as expected, no one comes to his rescue.
My fellow countrymen choose to be non-interfering and non-judgmental on selective occasions. The same people are so opinionated and judgmental when it comes to issues related to individuality and personal choices. These are the same people who decide who should wear what, who should love whom, who has the right to be happy.....

My reflection

When the reflection scares you, the war with the self begins...
Is that me?Is that you? Do you own  me or do I own you?
Do I even know you?
