Hanumanachronism
Tweet27/10/2020. With all that Brainspin, Hanuman had to execute ‘Mission SL’ that day. He knew that the role of internuncio was to be well crafted as Lord rama was depending on him. That day, that very bleak day was summed up with the Jet airways flight which he would have boarded from Chennai to Colombo cancelled due to airport bombing and hijacking of seven planes by Dawood Ibrahim Jr. and Osama bin laden VII in Colombo. And so ditching all other ways to get there, He prepared to do it the Superman way. Hanuman was initially antagonistic as the
GANGULY
TweetSubrato was all of eight years old. Like any eight year old boy he too had a concoction of fantasies which happily occupied him for most of his days. But unlike any other kid of his age, subrato never had the opportunity to reveal some of his longings to his parents, for both of them had died in a freak accident on the roadway from Kolkata to diamond harbour. The slew of tourist lodges in Sajenkhali which belonged to his father had now come into the direct custody of Mr. Das, his uncle. Das subsequently became his guardian till his
Desperation…
TweetShe opens her eyes and looks to her right.. Even the empty side of the bed gives her a fright.. She looks around for him to come.. And tries to be quiet as she listens for her son.. She is trapped in here with nowhere to go.. It is because she couldn’t say “NO”.. She let him do whatever he wanted.. And he never cared for her or made her feel wanted.. He came home drunk and beat her.. Hurting her bad and drinking more beer.. The thought of him gives her the shivers and she looks around once more..
The Flying Dutchman
Tweet THE FLYING DUTCHMAN An Enigma. Nowadays whenever one chances upon the above phrase, the first thing that comes to our mind is a rather ugly, decayed and gloomy looking ship courtesy of the movie franchise “Pirates of the Caribbean”(made famous by a certain Johnny Depp :P ). However there is more to the phrase than what is portrayed commercially. The Flying Dutchman is every seaman’s horror, considered to be the worst omen that one could possibly encounter at sea. At first it was considered to be an old folklore which sailors used to pass on to one another
The Woman
Tweet“ENGINEER GIRL MAKES IT TO THE TOP-Delhi,5th May “After today’s final round, of the very famous inter-collegiate debating competition, Anjali Menon emerged as the winner, ousting stiff competition from students of various other meritorious institutions.”…She stared at that newspaper cut out, and felt more desolate than she ever did…“Anjali, is a 20 year old final year student of the Mangalpur Institute of Engineering, Delhi, and this is not the first time she’s making the news.” Another wave of nausea hit her, and she rushed to the toilet, throwing up whatever little she managed to eat at lunch…“Apart from maintaining an
The Race for Raisina hill
TweetRaisina Hill. If someone had mentioned this place to me a few weeks back, I would have imagined a hill covered in raisins. Seriously. But now, I know that it refers to something else. The race for Raisina hill. The race to the Rashtrapati Bhavan. The race to become the next president of India. I have always wondered about the post of the President of India. For me, it is an incomprehensible paradox in Indian politics. It is the highest position obtainable in our country. The President is the supreme commander of all Armed forces of India. He/she alone wields
How To Create A Power Ranger Series
TweetI was and I still am a fan of the Power Rangers series. The first series that captured my attention was the Power Rangers Ninja Storm. The series with its bunch of teenagers in spandex suits and their crazy choreographed stunts (which would give any physics teacher a headache) and the storyline (which was good enough at that time) provided me with a great way to kill time. Then, as more and more series came out, I started to notice a trend, which was being followed across all the series. So much so, that you can actually predict what is
Combating the petrol price hike
TweetAs the petrol prices soar to unimaginable limits, the consumer’s mindset takes the final call. People now prefer to buy diesel cars even though they cost almost a lakh more than petrol cars. For them, spending the extra lakh is worth eliminating the risk of misjudging the unpredictable pace at which the price of petrol rises. One would imagine that the car manufacturers are the ones having the most difficult times – scratching their heads and occasionally looking up to the gods for help, or to the government for that matter. But that is a misconception. Business always finds a
Dear Dad
TweetTo dear daddy, Hey there! I am, well, you could call me the ‘essence’ of your daughter. I am predetermining that you’re all confused now, so let me explain. I was alive and completely developed mentally right from when I was conceived in mom’s womb. So I could think like someone with a fully developed brain can right from back then. The first thing I ever remember feeling was immense, incredible happiness. Just pure, unadulterated joy. It just pulsed through mom, and I could feel yours too. I was blind back then, but I could visualize the colours of that
A Rivalry for Dominance
Tweet(The voice of a nationalist, a patriotic Indian) The Kohinoor Diamond sits on a crown in one of the podiums in the centre of ‘The Jewel House’ in the Tower of London. Everyday thousands of people enter the narrow pathway in ‘The Jewel House’ to get a glance at the shining diamond, which was known for its exuberating brilliance and precise cut. Most of them are Indians. But the diamond is not the only thing that grabs the Indians’ attention. Hung on the wall behind the podium is a picture, beautifully sketched out. It depicts an Indian maharaja kneeling on
