The Exordium

I have been meaning to start an online journal of my own that I could present to the world. I am not an extraordinary boy. I'm just another guy, right next to your door. I had dreams of achieving something big and failed. Tried and failed. I have seen expectations rise and later the sadness in the eyes of the ones I have loved all my life. It's very hard to digest the fact that you are the sole reason of happiness, sadness and the sole purpose of living. I know that feeling too. Yes, I am not an innocent teenager either. I have had my share of fun with my friends, contributes to the mischievous plans and later blasted as well! Yes, I am a Regular Indian Teenager whom you will find all across the country. A commoner, nothing special. A face, lost in the crowd!

The Coorg Conundrum

As the popular band Green Day puts it, It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right! I hope you had the time of your life!   Our trip to the Scotland of the Indian subcontinent, Kodagu, was something similar. It was full of unexpected encounters. While some were good, the others were disappointing. On the whole, the entire plan was another addition to the innumerable memories we have from our previous tours. Deciding the place and the dates turned out to be a major challenge in itself, keeping everyone's comfort zone in mind. With a few compromises here and there, the second weekend of July was set as the D-days. Locking the destination turned out to be a hurdle bigger than we'd imagined because most people were apprehensive about the rains. Letting nature decide our fates, we set off to Coorg on the decided dates. Off We Go! The journey to the destination started from three different places. While 3 people started off from Bengaluru,...

Chester Bennington - A legacy left behind!

A few nights ago, I got a notification from the Times of India app on my phone that the lead singer of the rock band Linkin Park had committed suicide. Amidst the preparations for my lab exams that were to take place the next day, it was quite difficult to assimilate the fact the very person whose voice had once introduced me to a new dimension of music, was no more. It was probably in 8 th or 9 th grade that I first listened to Linkin Park. A close friend of mine had been incessantly suggesting me to listen to Numb on YouTube and when I finally paid heed to his words, I was not disappointed. I am one of those kids who had been brought up listening to the melodies of Kishore Kumar and Mukesh. At that point, listening to a rock band seemed like a terrible idea. But, once I’d heard it while reading the lyrics, there was no going back. They were etched on my heart and soul for eternity. The songs that followed were equally good, equally mesmerizing and equally captiva...

Did we deserve it?

29/11, 2015 That's 3 days since the 7th anniversary of 26/11/2008. Those 60 hours in Mumbai that shook the whole country. The iconic Taj Hotel, the elegant Oberoi and the Nariman Point which were the major places under siege by the terrorists, were handled by the NSG, Mumbai Police and the Indian army. They came to India with an aim of killing over 2000 people and were successful in killing around 170 innocents. The country faced loss not just in terms of buildings death of civilians, it also witnessed the deaths of many brave and valiant officers of all departments of defense. I am not writing this article here to mention any statistics or numbers. I am writing this article to introspect, judge and understand our position. Today, we stand here. 8 years since the dreadful incident. How far have we come, as a society, as a country? Do we stand in a position where we can say that no country dare attack and kill the innocent, hardworking citizens of this country? I am not here to ...
