may 4,2012 3:30 am A little boy knocked me.'sir,begusarai'. i stepped out of the bus.the small town was muffled in darkness.bus stand name was slightly visible_ jannayak jai prakash narayan......... some tea and paan shops were quite open. a flickering hope, a flickering eye, and a flickering vapour lamp every where.roads were lull,except the screeches and sirens of passing by national permit trucks or night buses.i was just quivering.  a unique india lies within this india. an india that covers the most of the pie chart.an india that's modest yet vulnerable,that lives becoz they need to live.well its not just an india.. a perspective rather ...a frame of reference rather..from where we perceive ourselves smarter.we seldom talk about that india and when ever we talk,.... we talk diplomatically,politically and to be precise dramatically. their streets their walls do not get posters of big movies(read critically correct).they don't have sense of critical quotien...

mayankchoudhary's photography देखो रात ढलने को आई है। चांदनी.... चादरों सी बिछी ... देखो आज पिघलने को आई है। देखो रात ढलने को आई है । कहानी  जो दो लब्जों में  कभी ना कही जा सकी  देखो आज छलने को आई है ।  देखो रात ढलने को आई है ।                                                           _________________                                                      तुम हाथ मिलाती हो  हम गले लगाते हैं । तुम दरिया फैलाती हो  हम डूबे जाते हैं । तुम आँख मिलाती हो हम आँखों में जीते हैं । तुम रोये जाती हो हम आंसू पीते हैं । तुम प्रणय के गीत गाती हो हम लब्ज़ बनातें हैं। तुम रुक सी जाती हो  फिर भी हम आत...

april 11,2010 sunday wonder why i have started discussion with this date? well its inevitable. it was jee 2010.I Will not say i was prepared to the optimum,yet i was qualified enough to get in ..alas i didnt... that year i missed the general cut off by 11 marks.i didnt cry for i am not habituated of tears.to some of the phone calls that i responded that day i just said" if winter is there                                                                      can spring be far away". my near by collegues asked me about the underlying reason for the failure.I just said i was not qualified enough.but truth is not so straight...well i will tell you sometimes.... now it has been almost two years.i am just to complete my second semester in IIT kharagpur,i believe i should put forth some reasonable points t...

since the ballotmenia takes its call here i present a shortlisted note to be consumed before you vote friends,collegues and all to whom it may concern its election ,an assumed to be religion in country like india. beyond chauvinism there comes the sense of globalism.being iitian,being kgpian and more importantly being human we need to take care of our individualism.our individualism that gets defined by the institute  at large.so lets think beyond the narrow residential politics.come on be a kgpian first.. as that protagonist of spiderman says"choices..we can always make the correct one". ofcourse we can,for sure we will, by right we must,and by duty we should make the  correct choice.just let your choice be yours and not emotionally entrusted to you by your approximity. let your choice get inclined to the sincere leadership,the more sincere workmanship and not to the mere showmanship.come on ...we need...

some morning rays were peeping out of leaves. scintillating fabrics ,that spider weaves. traffic too loose,yet too colored. packets too synthetic ,yet too revered.       It was some promising yet embryonic summer of 1999-2000.holystic and holi morning.my sister was on the terrace top since morning(a symptom of phobia from colour as some people may read it).and i was on the road ,on the foot path pitted with dusts sandwitched with water and the banana juice that we genius kids always use to put an everlasting mark on every robe we come across.we indians always have free water for these things.There were some set algorithms being followed since this society of ours evolved.and hence algorithms were being considered as tradition by mistake. step 1__we welcome you with some one or two buckets of muds,and hence you get the certificate to welcome the rest.and early birds with considerable temprament used to be core team members. step 2__change your robe if required...

hello so how things are rolling? fine,you say. just called out of memory persuaded nostelgia. memory persuaded nostelgia... well that time and again invades my inertia........ you know some random nights i see you in my dream. making castles together before i wake up and scream. difference! things you see randomly are frequent to me. oh! i see, but what about that compromise you taught me some day? that makes me a good teacher. need is student of genuine feature. and what about that cherishing beauty out of memories,you taught? were not you optimist my dear? was just what you made out of me,my dear. optimists fly up,get burnt. pessimists fall down,get drown. and where is that beauty beholder? beauty beholders never die. see, without any rhyme they make you cry.

mai aur meri tanhaayi akshar ye baatein karti hain. wo saam jaha mai darwaaje pe dastak deta firta hu. wo raat jaha aankhon me meri neend naa aaya karti hai. wo waqt jaha ruk jaata hai thham jaata hai,saham jaata hai. wo sadak jaha sunsaaniyat ik raaz banaye baithhi hai. mai aur meri tanhaayi akshar ye baatein karti hain.. tum hote to kya hota.....  tum hote to himmat milti iss sapno me chalne waale ko sapno se aagey nikalne ki. tum hote to ik waqt ke liye kavi to mujhe sataya karte. meri wafaon ko yaad kar ke kavi to mujhe rulaya karte. kavi to tanik waqt ke liye mujh se fariyaad kiya karte. kavi to tanik waqt ke liye mujhe barbaad kiya karte. mai aur meri tanhaayi akshar ye baatein karti hain.. tum hote to kya hota.... jab jism aansuon ko aane se roke rakhta hai. jab sunsaan sadak pe saath mere mera saaya chalta hai. jab baraamde se kisi raat  chaand naza naa aata hai. jab ashk ke jawaab mei vi ashk nikal naa paata hai. mai aur meri t...
