Random thoughts
on life, things in it and those outside;
some I give to; the rest unto me given,
Transport me to poet's heaven.
Friends and fellow writers, I have finally started my blog after several years of "thinking about it". Now, I look forward to any support and feedback from each of you, which is going to be my fuel to keep this going. Please review at your convenience :
http://lifeandallthings.com
I plan to write on just about everything, including poetry and short stories and will be happy to receive any suggestions.
Thanks,

a EXCREPT FROM THE BOOK - 'INTERPRETATION'
Ranjith Singh is an army intelligence officer. He is in this
job for past 18 years. He is very patriotic, who loves his
country first, than anything else. Always in front to do
anything for his motherland. And so, he loves his job.
His other interest is his family. His second love. His
wife and two children. Khanu, his wife is a beautiful young
woman from Amritsar, Punjab. Theirs was a love marriage
eventually blessed with two kids, a happy family.
However, today Ranjith Singh lies on his cot as the sun
rises to say good morning. He is ready to get up, somewhat
awake but still asleep. He is dreaming. In his dream, he
sees his beautiful wife and his two lovely children. They are
stretching their arms towards him, asking him to help them.
It seems they are being carried by someone. Ranjith Singh
crawls on his bed. He wants to help them. He opens his
eyes and sees the morning light. Where is his wife who was
asking for his assistance? And his two children who wanted
to get on to their father’s arm? Even they are gone.
***
THE CENTER FOLD
What exactly is Captain Ranjith’s mission? How did he
lose his wife and children? Where are they? What happened
to them?
It began like this.
The year was March 1971 that was sparked by the Bangladesh
liberation conflict between the traditionally dominant West
Pakistan and the East Pakistan. India expressed full support
to the struggle for independence by the people of East
Pakistan. A war seemed inevitable. So, the government
wanted to make sure whether they were going to involve
in this adventurism and how?
Pakistan was initially a part of India. In the year 1947,
at the time of independence from the British rule, it was
separated and was carved into an independent Islamic country.
Since then, this neighbour of India has been cultivating hatred
against India. Though, it needs to be understood that it was
Pakistan which wanted to separate from the mainland to be
formed into a new Muslim country, India never wanted that
to happen. But unfortunately, the line was drawn and thus
two nations were formed. What emerged next were constant
fights between the two countries that resulted in war in the
year 1947 at the time of independence and later in 1965.
Both the times, Pakistan lost the war to India. The wars
resulted in a lot of destruction in terms of human life and
property. But the conflict continued and again in 1971, some
kind of dangerous and threatening activity was detected from
the Pakistani side.
In the 1947 war, few areas of Kashmir went into the
hands of Pakistan, which they called Azad Kashmir or
Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Due to this, the people of
Kashmir were separated. The people and their kins found
themselves parted between the two borders of the country.
This also put them in an abyss of emotional hardship. Later
that year, as per the agreement between the countries, people
were allowed to cross the new border - the line of control
- to meet their near and dear ones.
At one such instance in 1965, Ranjith Singh and his
family which hailed from Punjab visited Muzaffarabad, a
town in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. Ranjith Singh’s wife
Khanu had a family marriage to attend there. Ranjith Singh
dropped his family there and returned to Kashmir on the
Indian side for an official call on an immediate reporting
basis due to emergency. Then suddenly Pakistan attacked
India. Khanu and his two kids got trapped there. Ranjith
couldn’t do anything immediately as he was in the middle
of a war. Even after the war got over, he could never find
his lost family. The border was closed and people were not
allowed to cross either side. He couldn’t even communicate
with them through any other means. Diplomatic relations
between the two countries were not good either. Therefore,
the embassy also could not do much to find the family of
this army man. Ranjith never heard from his family after
that. They were lost for him. And he was lost for them.
***
A DIALOGUE FROM THE BOOK
“Okay officers, let’s get moving. As you people are
aware, we are in support of the ongoing Bangladesh liberation
war in East Pakistan. President Yahya Khan has already
rejected the claim of Sheikh Mujibur Rehaman, the leader of
Bangladesh to form the government there. It seems he will
call the military to disarm Bangladesh. Lots of movement
is taking place against this. And our Prime Minister has
expressed full support of our Government to the struggle
for independence by the people of East Pakistan. We share
vast borders with them and we would not like to have two
Pakistan on our West as well as East. It is dangerous. So,
Pakistan has got enough reason to camp their armies on our
border. This is something that we can deal with, since it
is a face-to-face and direct action. But dealing with indirect
action is not easy,” says Puri, as Ranjith and Rajan listen
attentively.
***
WAGAH BORDER
Wagah is a road in Punjab, and the only border road
crossing between the two countries, India and Pakistan. It
lies between the cities of Amritsar and Lahore in Pakistan.
Wagah itself was a village. It got divided during the
partition in the year 1947. The eastern half of the village
lies in India, while the western half is in Pakistan. It has
one gate on both sides and the rest of the area is fenced
***
THE WAR
but the Indian army successfully held their positions. The
Indian army quickly responded to the Pakistan army’s
movements and made some initial gains, including capture
of around 5,500 square miles of Pakistan territory in Punjab
and Sindh sectors. This was later ceded by India in the
Shimla Agreement of 1972.
The land war or the battle of Longewala in Rajasthan
is worth mentioning. The intelligence report of Ranjith was
ignored as the time was up. In the night, Pakistan attacked
with about two thousand infantry division and more than
forty tank regiments. The mere one hundred sixty eight
Indian soldiers stood their ground, though they were given
the option to opt out. It was a brave act but they were lucky
to have a natural defence of high sand dune and the post
totally fenced up. In the night, it was not visible. It was
very easy to attack the enemy from the upper ground. The
situation was very much in the favour of the Indian side
with an airstrip close by. They striked Pakistan battalions
by the morning, which suffered huge casualties. The battle
of Longewala was won and it was a mark in the Indian
history that cannot be erased in long years to come.

POVERTY
THE BOX FULL OF FEATHERS
The Wonderful World Of Fairy Tales

On the darkest nights beside the fireplace
When the moon is high and the sky is gray,
We read the fairy tales with joy and delight,
For we ought to finish it by midday!
They are the most delightful reads,
With Cinderella and Snow White!
We let our imagination run wild,
And once again we turn into a lovely child!
We slowly enter the land of fairy tales,
Where peace and love always prevails!
With happiness having no bounds
And we attain the glorious state!
We wake up in a wonderful place
In the heart of fairy tales,
And meet the angel of love and grace
And the light shines upon her beautiful face!
She grants our wishes and bestows happiness
And we return home in a blissful state!
Fairy tales has just united us,
In a magical world,
In a magical place!

MY PIECE OF WRITING FOR THE MONTH-- FAIRY TALES AND HOW THEY PLAY AN IMPORTANT PART

I love to read fairy tales a lot. They are fantastic stories, full of symbolism and depth and they all convey a special message and are very much entertaining. I especially like Disney fairy tale movies-- Cinderella, Snow White and the Lion-king and the fairy tale picture books like Rapunzel, Puss in boots and Snow-White.

The Wave

I sat down in the hot sand and looked high up the sky. I could see a small girl next to me, with rosy cheeks busy building a sand castle. She was shouting at her mommy, saying that she had almost finished building it. I turned to my other side and watched some teenage girls in bikinis walking to the shore. God! I never get beach sick! In fact I love everything around here—the mangroves, the salt scented air and the pretty women who surf all the time. It doesn’t get much beautiful, except at night—it’s so tranquil then and brings me so much of peace and joy which would mesmerize me
Slowly when I got up and turned to leave, a small wave crashed to the sand and came up to my feet. Then I noticed the little girl crying and turned to see the sand castle, destroyed by the wave. I suddenly felt terrible to see the girl’s plight. She would have worked hard to build it. Then, I saw a small toy store by the beach. I ran and bought the girl, a toy castle and gave it to her saying,” Good girl! Keep this one safe!” The girl’s face brightened up a bit. She smiled and thanked me. I made my way out. I knew that I had begun such a lovely day! God –it’s perfect!

The Thief
For Anil, the world was different, and without parents. He would definitely not miss the violent hours of the day. The lesser privileged had started indulging in looting and destroying shops also. Anil would quietly stand behind the shops and pick up something from here and there. Learning to live on his own his collection of items had grown systematically.
He looked around with sparkling eyes. On his left was a toaster, which was brand new. He had trouble lifting the big square box to his shelter. He did not know why it had a window. But the pictures on it seemed like food. He had many flower vases, crockery, glasses. It would appear to be a shop, his shelter.
Today’s prize was peculiar though. It was small but the wrapping is what caught his eyes. He did not want to open it or spoil the beauty, he just stared at it.
Just then his door blew open.
“You thief you steal from us! That gift you hold now was for my daughter”
“I am not a thief, I am small and I collect from what is already plundered.”
“You maybe small but you are a devil, look at this place, Oh my God even I don’t own a microwave oven”
He slapped him but the boy didn’t shake.
“You don’t have micro because you don’t have the brains to get one. ”
He grew red. “You little rascal I do not steal like you do”
He slapped him again.
The boy sat upright, his hands in tension.
“Even a dozen other people who actually loot the place, do you have the balls to hit them? And I know why you have come here. To take the stuff I took from the market. And all this drama you are doing is to subdue your own conscience. You are more lowly than a thief because you steal from the small and the weak. You don’t even have the guts to steal first hand. You are a parasite”
He returned to his normal colour. He had not expected such a rebuttal from this small kid.
Suddenly a small girl came running. “Papa thanks for the gift”
The man stared shocked. He was accusing the small boy of something which he had not done.
The time had come and the boy had gone
What remained was nothing much
Little fragments of memory
Battered childhood territory

God Played Game with Me- A NOVEL
I am writing this novel, need comments on how to improve writing or the way i write seems fine??? Need suggestions for the same from all.I have quoted the beginning. Please help me out improving my skills... Plz mail personal comments on brutesin@gmail.com
Thanks in Advance
Door bell rings, the same old hard rock music which scares those who are unknown of it. I am Raj, I live in here.
‘Hey Raj anything urgent, you called me in so hurry?’ said Tanya as she entered in his apartment.
‘Yeah something like that, where are the other two, our twin friends, I2 Inesh and Ipsa?’
Both I2 are on way Raj, I came on time today and you are counting on them instead?’
‘Sorry Tanya, I have very exciting thing to tell’.
‘Raj again you are wearing Cap at home?’
‘It’s trendy’ said Raj.
Tanya made surprised face as Raj never liked to wear a cap.
Raj is a lucky guy who got a place to live in posh Mumbai, i.e. because of his uncle who is an NRI. Raj got a place and his uncle got someone known to take care of his things.
Bell rung, it was Inesh and Ipsa. Inesh is somewhat slim, looks more like a girl but his sister Ipsa looks extremely beautiful. Both are twins but seem they have no energy.
Tanya on other side is a bit plump; she often starts her diet plan of fruits for a week, which increased her weight in first week. Later she lost a lot weight too. Now she eats all junk food and do diet plan in every three months.
‘No time, gotta go soon to work Raj. What’s so urgent?’
‘Listen guys, I have a story to tell. Where is Sunny, the funny?’
‘Raj you called him too?’ said Tanya who was once in love with Sunny but now hates him due to his careless nature.
Bell rung and Sunny was at the door.
‘Hey Sunny, come in’ I said and got him in.
Tanya had a bad impression on her face.
I took everyone in my room and started.
‘Listen Raj its two right now, I need to be back at work by three thirty’ said Tanya.
‘Me too, I need to get back to gym dude’ said Sunny showing his importance of time felt to Tanya.
I smiled and asked them to get comfortable. The twins were still jobless and it was Republic day today.
‘I need to tell a story’.
‘Are you mad? On Republic day, you called up to tell a story?’
‘Listen Tanya, I need to tell the story. You people are close to me so I called you people. Today is a holiday, I can understand Gym but Tanya all offices are closed today’.
Tanya a bit sort of foolish girl says things and later search for valid reason. She said ‘Start story soon, else I will leave’.
‘But before starting I want to tell you all one thing’.
‘What?’
‘It’s a real story, and no one will interrupt me in between’.
‘Get me some coffee first’ said Ipsa. She had a flunked a lot many times in exam. Both twins hated each other because they looked alike. They liked each other long back but when they grew everyone started to compare each other for every reason. Obviously one would be superior to other.
Raj got coffee and gave to Ipsa.
‘So fast Raj, great’ said Tanya.
Destiny- As in my way
Is it the fact or myth when people say “It happened because it was supposed to happen?” Relations are by god’s grace, is it destiny or something else? It’s been hard for me to believe few things, but later felt all was supposed to happen.
I read in newspaper about a guy who jumped in front of train to test God power, people say he was jerk. Right now he has his limb cut and a visitor said “Its destiny, it was supposed to happen and it did”.
I thought if he would have not jumped it won’t have happened???
Though hard but fact is still the same, we say whatever happened was destined. We live in a very conservative world and can’t change past but can live in reality and plan for future. Only thing in our hand is to plan things as we like, whether it happens accordingly is all hardship mixed with luck. People call it destiny when things are over and it becomes history.
If I talk about marriage, people say pairs are made in heaven. People meet talk and marry, all called destiny, but still I feel a lot thoughtful on it. People marry and many divorces too, were they married to wrong person and wrongly destined?
All given names of fate and destiny by us only. If death is called nature so is destiny? We all believe in God, never seen only heard by ancestors. Is God myth or truth, right now I don’t want to argue over the issue but I believe in God as I get inner power and support whenever I am low and alone.
An atheist says that it’s our brain who instructs us to pursue things, whether right or wrong.
While god’s disciple says that it’s the supreme power who guides us through to do things, whether right or wrong. Sometimes I feel a lot disheartened when things are not going in my favor, that also after my best efforts. When I discussed with a friend he told that’s destiny dear. It was supposed to happen. I think and say to all that if things were supposed to happen then why we all put our efforts to change the things in our favor. We can sit quietly and let things happen.
Finally I disagreed to destiny by luck and believe in destiny by efforts and whatever fails to happen in favor I will think nothing.

Pabulum
I see a water tanker or a tractor full of soil moving from one place to another. We transfer oil by pipes, trains etc. and generate monetary. We are earning profit on things whose cost price is null. Soon a time is going to come when we will start buying/selling air too. Presently, we need air for breathing and also for communication at least from receiver to ear. We are talking about 3G or 4G communication. We are progressing in technology but, at the same time tearing our nature apart.
Is this the progress in technology or only a work around?
Our scientists are busy in finding the inception of universe or developing a high end mobile phone.
Did we really made any advancement in technology? If so, why are we not having any thing parallel to water, soil or oil?
In fact we are too lazy to put off any unused electrical appliances.

"Where is the love?"

"I don't miss friendship.I miss love though."
I loved this line I picked up from a random blog ( The Grey confessions by Dev)
Its so true..and this line just made me realise my morals that have gone with the wind..I mean, literally..!
I could honestly relate myself to this. I remember a time when I was a people person. I used to find my fix in people, loved being around with them.
But in time I realised that I trusted people but not the devil inside them. They came as such disappointment to me.The more surprising fact is, you cant really blame them, coz someone right now maybe saying this same thing in reference to us.
So does that mean people are unintentionally selfish and downtrodden without even realising it, just like us at the end of the day..?!

when a man becomes a man
lit cigarrete high brows curls in his hair
slimy nose sweaty face and a look forlorn
can't get up can't sit down, his ass hurts
not for reasons you think yay it's coz he fell from a tree
what was young jim doing on a tree
didn't every thrill kill a man before he was a man
and when does a man become a man
is it age or just sanctuary
is it wisdom or mere selfishness
a man becomes a man says jim
when he falls down from a tree and hurts his ass
a man becomes a man jim says
when his heart breaks no more
when he sits beside the woman on bed
and quietly puffs his marijuana cigarrette
a man becomes a man jim says
when his fingers move caressing ova
never too deep and never to dip
and his smile is as nonchalant as it comes
a man becomes a man jim says
when his days are outnumbered you see
when he is lost you see
down can't get up and can't sit down
a man becomes a man jim says
when he hurts his ass dumb you see

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa: the old movie
I am writing here, or anywhere (but for my diary & my facebook status updates) after an aeon (have been thinking more and writing less for the past couple of months) Not that I have a lot to say now. Anyway, sharing the video link of one of SRK's earliest movies "Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa", when he was fresh from theatre and had an undiluted method to his work (my thoughts purely)
<1:40:00 to 1:44:00 in this link> http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-579915694811968072
The following scene is made special by...you know who... Considering that the whole movie was otherwise a good but spoof-like comedy, srk pulls off a gem here...Notice the nonsense going around his role in this scene <1:40:00 to 1:44:00 in the link> ...can't imagine anybody else doing this part... and I like it better than any of the other more popular srk sob scenes...
Because I could never really know what I liked so much about the movie, it remains one of my most favourite movies. (that's how all my attachments (and detatchments) in life have been: unexplainable)
see if u want to :)

A FLOWER
Blossomed today morning
With all my cousins’
A priest came,
Plucked me and placed me on the temple of,
GOD.
I couldn’t be more happy then this
I am the luckiest flower in the world.
As I shone in the tiara of deity
My cousins’ tone is jealously.
Then dusk arrived,
Then dawn arrived.
The priest came,
Lifted me up and fling me in the bin.
I lay there and slowly thaw out.
I am the luckiest flower in the world.
