The Red rebels and the trend followers: JNU fashion

We all know that story. God told Mr. Adam not to eat the forbidden fruit. Nevertheless, he eventually did. Well, this Mr. Adam was the first student of Jawaharlal Nehru University (technical not but ideologically yes). Nested in a thousand-acre campus, JNU forms a world of its own. The walls of the administrative block, the schools and the hostels are covered with graffiti and political posters. People sit for hours at different dhabas and debate. Questioning is the favourite pastime of JNUites.… Continue

"what is love"? the unanswered question

I kept asking myself “what is love?” “Is it the feeling as sweet as the dove”? I desperately wanted an answer to this; So I better asked those who had experienced this. I met a young teen lover who believed: That love is the life’s most beautiful feeling, But on the other side I also found, Unsuccessful Romeos in almost every place suffering. To a cynic who changes love partner just like ice cream flavor, Love is just about romance, sex and seductive pleasure, While few lovers enjoy their love… Continue

Krazy Kiya Re!

School day memories are just not about friends or teachers, it's also your crushes. Crushes that crashed. And leave behind a sweet memory for life. It's a crazy feeling. Scholars, philosophers and even saints have spent years to decode it. Doubtful if they succeeded. So all those high-on-testosterone, confused teens hanging outside Carmel after-dismissal, the puzzle is nothing new! Misthi (name changed) was my friend's sister. We met when I was in class nine. You can guess my situation. All my… Continue

Exodus & Evolution : LOVE . LIFE . TRUST . MAGIC

It is common and difficult to re-examine our past and redefine it according to a more adult perspective. Because this is a hard thing to do, we all put a fitter, usually of rosy hue, on our memories. Our remembrance of things past is sweetened by the passage of time so that our worst gaffes and most embarrassing incidents are so well diluted that they leave no aftertaste. Because of the enchantment generated by that distance, I find it painful to look deeply into the past lest I awaken memories… Continue

How Sebastian Hecks got bullied, got stamped and got a life

(NB: There is absolutely no connection between the title and the content. The writer was trying to be funny while writing the title) Let's face it. We aren't really Einsteins (if you don't know who/what he/that is then i rest my case.) Nor is the Bornvita and Horlicks (things that young people are forced to drink to become tall/thick/strong/clever/human/etc.) going to make much of a difference in the next 50 light years. Frankly it is comfortable to be stupid. [You can ask stupid q… Continue
