A symbol so true

-
Bihar was in dark age during 1990s and early 2000s. You have to depend on lantern, because even to charge your inverters, you need few hours of electricity. And those days, even inverters were not in reach of common people. The one leader responsible for forcing the usage of Lantern to the fullest, made it the symbol of his party, when he formed RJD.

The people of Bihar, voted the same RJD to power in 2015, when RJD emerged as the largest party. Again, they used the same lantern as their symbol. This does not show, how shrewd Lalu and his heirs were, it shows, how pathetically idiots, we the people of Bihar are.

Lalu and his heirs, till today mock the very people of Bihar, whom they ruled for 15+ years. They mock it through their symbol, Lantern.

ब्राह्मण

ब्राह्मण, सामाजिक न्याय के दौर का सबसे अभिशप्त शब्द। भारतीय परिवेश में सामाजिक न्याय ठीक वैसे ही दूषित है जैसा धर्मनिरपेक्षता। और इन दूषित शब्दों के बीच फंसा है ब्राह्मण। ब्राह्मण, जिन्हें धर्मनिरपेक्षता और सामाजिक न्याय, दोनों का ही दोषी माना गया है। मैं जातिवाद का धुरविरोधी हूं, किन्तु जब तक मेरे देश के सरकारी प्रपत्रों में जाति का कॉलम रहेगा, जातिवाद भी जीवित रहेगा। आजादी के ७३ सालों के बाद भी अगर सामाजिक न्याय राजनैतिक मुद्दा बना रहे तो वह सामाजिक न्याय रास्ता भटक चुका है। सामाजिक न्याय के अनेकानेक पुरोधा स्वयं सामर्थ्यवान हो चुके हैं और अपनी कई पुश्तों के लिए पूंजी जोड़ चुके हैं। अब बात न्याय की करते हैं। न्याय आप किस से और कब लेते हैं? अगर एक समुदाय के एक व्यक्ति का कोई दोष हो तो क्या आप उस समुदाय को दोषी मानते हैं? नहीं ना। तो फिर कुछ पीढ़ियां पहले दिए गए त्रास के लिए आज की पीढ़ी के लोगों से बदला कैसा? सामाजिक बुराइयों के लिए ब्राह्मणों को अक्सर दोष दिया जाता है। कुछ हद तक ठीक भी है। क्यूंकि छुआछूत जैसी भ्रांतियां अभी भी देश में है। मगर छुआछूत अब शहरों में, विद्यालयों और संस्थान

My Golden Days ...

The hostel life is memorable for everyone. The freedom, the responsibility and need to standup for yourself, makes you better equipped to take on the world. I’ve been lucky to spend my last few years of studies in hostels and that too in the best ones available in India, the BIT Mesra Hostels. The abode to exuberant individuals, all amazing, different from each other. Few of my best friends are my hostel mates. The hostels in BIT gives you the feel of a glorified prison sometimes. The reason being, its distance from the city and outside world. The seclusion does helps you get along with the other prison mates well. During my stay in BIT, there were no mobile data and mobile internet. Orkut was yet to become a hit and Facebook was yet to be conceptualized. Sports, meals-together, interaction sessions, quizzes, studies, chit-chats kept us involved. Luckily, those days were less virtual. Even computer games needed physical presence of the opponents, barring some, with their networkin

Bicycle - A treasured possesion

Bicycle; it was a dream to own one, when I was a kid. The two wheeled, pollution-less, personal mover, has lured me more than anything, till date. The thrill of balancing the iron structure over it's narrow rubber tires, used to instill stinging sensation inside. This was all, I used to dream as a child. Howbeit, never shared this dream with my parents. Mostly, because I thought it was not needed. One of my friends, who is no more, used to visit our home during summers, riding on his bicycle. He had a troubled family, the reason he used to roam around the town entire day, only to get back to spend night at home. Summers, we used to have morning school. He used to come to my place post lunch. He was little weak in mathematics but excellent in literature. I was exactly opposite. So we complemented each other while studying together. More than boring study of literature, that he had to offer, I was more fascinated by his bicycle. My dream was to have a bicycle like he had, and p
