Being A Rebel

Recently, everyone seems to be writing a book - with their dark fantasies about sex and other tempting sins, or some fake strange stories from the noted campuses. All this 'book-rush' made 'book-market' full of literally crass stories aimed at instant success and fame. Amidst all cacophony of sex-cum-love stories, a serious admirer of literature that could present a realistic facets of the society, could easily become disheartened. But thanks to Social Media, specially my huge twitter follower list, I came to know about this book  'RI - Homeland of Uncertainty -THE BOOK' and its writer Paulami DuttaGupta. Frankly speaking, I came to knew about the book first, as an award winning Khasi movie , is based on it. 'Ri – Homeland of Uncertainty' (2013), was awarded as the best Khasi film in the 61st National Film Awards. Later, through the author, I was lucky enough to get a copy of the book.   Book Details: Title: Ri Homeland of Uncertainty A...

वक्त के थपेडों से लड़ कर,  अभाव की ऊँचाई चढ़ कर,  कुछ हिम्मत वाले सपने देखते हैं..  जी-जान लगा कर मेहनत करते हैं. कर गुजरने का धुन अगर सच्चा है, सपने  सच हो जाएँ तो अच्छा है. कोई तगमा नहीं चाहिए,  लोगों के चेहरों पर बस खुशी चाहिए. किसी का बुरा हो जाए,  ऐसी कामयाबी भी क्या कामयाबी हम खुद को भूल जाए,  ऐसी मंजिल भी क्या मंजिल. लेकिन दुनिया भी बड़ी अजीब है, उसको पानी नहीं मृगमरीचिका चाहिए,  काम नहीं, बस दिलासा चाहिए.  फिर कुछ ऐसे भी लोग होते हैं,  धर्म बेचते हैं, ईमान बेच देते हैं खुद की कामयाबी की खातिर इंसान बेच देते हैं! ऐसे लोग शहंशाह भी बन जाएँ तो क्या,  सबको बेवक़ूफ़ बना भी लें तो क्या! जीत  तो हमेशा से सच की हुई है,  आज हँस लो सपने बेचने वालों,  आखीर में तो मेहनत ही मुस्करायी है! [यह कविता देश की वर्तमान परिदृश्य में हैं. हम प्रत्यक्ष देख और समझ सकते हैं.  किन्तु राजनितिक विवाद में ना पड़ते हुए मैंने अपने संग्रह से एक चित्र लगाया है. संलग्न चित्र सन 2006 के एक पत्रिका से है. सारा वि...

Dear Chinki Sinha and the Editor, This mail is in response to your story: http://www.openthemagazine.com/article/nation/why-0 Nice story telling of Muslim offender 'Shahnawaz Khan, a Samajwadi Party worker, with white Scorpio' and muslim victim Amroz the sweatshop worker. And others followed later.  But like others partial JNU type communists, you did see only Muslims as victims. Did you try to find out the real reason behind the riots - several cases of gang rapes of non-jats Hindu girls including Dalits girls in Shamli and Muzaffarnagar. All it happened in precedent months. One girl was even burnt alive by 5 muslim rapists.The real reason was not even these gang-rapes, the actual reason was UP police dint take proper action against offenders as they were muslims. Azam Khan has reportedly directed police, not to register serious FIRs against Muslims.  When these sex offenders started targeting Jat girls, the situation escalated as Jats were able to respo...

Six years ago, I conceptualized this idea SimpyYuva.com to empower youths about their electoral rights, employment, society and the culture. http://simplyyuva.com when I researched about existing Youth portal I found the element missing. Hence I am re-introducing it with more objectives. Authors, bloggers, poet, cartoonists and photographers are most welcome as contributor.

“Ignorance is the night of the mind, a night without moon or star”  ~ Confucius Starting with this quote of Confucius, I wanted to draw our attention on the ignorance we are carrying forward in our daily life. It is not about being a pessimist or being a critique, but an observation from real life situation.  Talking about our society and country... a high level of ignorance could be found at every aspect. It is not only political, economic but also societal and personal. One of the most common attribute to the ‘educated’ class, when you talk about ‘politics’ or ‘public policy’ they make face of disgust. It a fashion and its contagious. They would flaunt it and say, ‘I hate politics’. Majority of them, never go and vote. However, they never miss a chance to cruse and abuse the criminal type political leader who was elected due to ignorance of such people. But they love their ignorance! And you cant convince them to do... not to blame.  The...
