Playbook of a Wandering Mind

Going by the title, you will expect that this is something about some particular girl. But no, its more about a social issue. I started to write about this when i came accross a short movie directed by Mr. Anurag Kashyap titled "That Day after Everyday". Though it had been on my mind since a long time. So starting with the topic. Lets first trace a journey of a girl right from her existence to death. When a girl is conceived: When the existence of a girl child is confirmed by medical processes in the womb of a woman. This stage is where it starts getting dangerous, because till this stage its unclear. This stage is where people may conduct female foeticide or may abort the baby. Next stage is when the girl child is born. At this stage there maybe chances that the girl child will be killed by various ways or means. Next is when the girl gets married. Due to the parallel existence of dowry system in India, there maybe chances where a girl maybe killed, or some who can bear a...

Moving a little bit away from philosophy, I am posting on current topics. This being my first post, I really hope that you like it. So the name Sachin Tendulkar as and when is heard evokes a thousand emotions. This name founds resonance with a large demography of persons over the world. Based on his achievements its is said that the cricketing era is divided into three periods namely Before Sachin(BS), Sachin(S), and now After Sachin(AS). His retirement was thoroughly dramatic which resulted in a nationwide "Sachinnn Sachinnn" frenzy. But now when the dust has settled down lets analyze what was it that he had done & also his grey areas. Though many people have different views about what Sachin has done. But according to me(also other people will agree) there are following ways in which he has made a tremendous impact on us: 1. He made us believe in real life superheroes: We started to have a belief that superheroes are real who walk in daylight & keep people in awe...

Life can be defined as any quality which distinguishes a functional being from the dead as per what is said in the dictionary. So even the dictionary cannot just explain what life is. Tricky one even for a dictionary. Many people say life is pain, life is struggle etc. But I feel life is life & is meant to be lived. People also say life is a burden, though its not, this is their pessimism. Problems do exist in a persons life but who in this world is free of problems. Each one has his own problems. So basically even after reading a lot we are stuck at this question of what is life & what is it all about? Well, I guess life has many aspects/phases & it cannot be expressed in a single word. Life is defined by how u live through it. So does life depend on the way we live it? Well, I would say yes. Life is how you live it, how you accept it, how you want it to be. People feel troubled because they fail to understand this. Life is what you want it to be alongwith abet from the A...

My first blog post (hope you like it) Dictionary refers to  wanderer  as a person who is unsure of what he wants in life. Basically it means a person who does not have a fixed aim/goal. But I would love to differ on that as according to me a wanderer is a person who has many goals but moves on to the next goal only after completing the previous one. Such is the life of a wanderer that there is no rest, no contemplating over things, its just moving from one goal to another, doing things, achieving goals. Having many goals does bring out the many facets u have, also it gives you an opportunity to hone your skills, develop your thought process & helps understand one's capabilities. One should have many goals in life & should strive to achieve them. Do the things you want to do. Do the things your heart wants you to do. Do not be bound by expectations, don't have any expectations unless its from your own self. Keep yourself happy, because if you are happy you give happ...
