Life. A celebration!

Breathe in
Breathe out
Laugh till your sides ache
Cry till you fall asleep
Dance till you can't move another muscle
Eat till your tummy feels like it will burst
Drink like a fish
Scream your lungs out
Sing like a madman
Walk...ride...drive...explore all the roads that exist
Swim across as many rivers as you can
Fly high with your ambitions
Sleep like a log
Make friends
Make enemies
Challenge yourself
Challenge those who have written you off
Win or lose
Travel often
Stay at home
Fight for what you believe is right
Hate passionately
Love fiercely

Celebrate every moment
Live, like there is no tomorrow!

Guwahati's own 'Sonagachi'? Are we prepared?

Found this in my files today...something i had written sometime back...in a hurry... I will not defend them and say that they are victims. Despite the fact that most of them are here facing compulsion...they were lured by the money, the money which they need to provide a decent home to their impoverished families. They are now the living proof to the ever booming business of commercial sex in the gateway to the Northeast. Its not like we never knew about what goes on in some pockets of the city.

But we choose to feign ignorance. We want to believe that our brothers, uncles, boyfriend, husband or father would never notice them! Why do they stand at those particular spots then, night after nig

Complications 'acche hotey hain'!

Life hurls these weird complications at you sometimes, when feel trapped, between the devil and the deep blue sea. Thats when you need to take a leap of faith! And thats when you realise if those whom you have depended upon, catch you or just watch you drop into the abyss. And that is why sometimes, complications 'acche hotey hain' That is one helluva silver lining, I tell you!

Throwback | July 2014 | Opinion on Women Reservation Bill

Even the presence of three women in the three top posts of the Parliament-Speaker Meira Kumar, UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi and Leader of the Opposition Sushma Swaraj could not help in the passage of the Women Reservation Bill on the 21st of February last. Feminists believe it to be an unfair deal. They had been fighting for it since 1996! The 18 year old journey had seen high drama, frayed tempers, war of words as it hit many roadblocks. They believed it would be the epitome of Women Empowerment. If we look back, we shall see that this bill was initially rejected by women representatives in the Constituent Assembly. They felt it was unnecessary since the working of democracy in its normal course would surely ensure the representation of all sections of the Indian Society. I am against reservation per se and I have my reasons. Reservation can never be the best way to achieve the goal of empowerment. It just ends up being divisive, deepening the chasm between the different
