Pretty Romantic Monsoons

For those who think monsoons are pretty.


It feels so good to say monsoons are romantic.

Staring outside ur window sitting in the comfort of your house sitting beside your loved ones, sipping in hot beverage ,seeing those drops falling harshly down the road and the soil around might feel awesome , positive and all but putting reality aside no positivity will do you great.

16 people died due to single landslide in irshalwadi let us ask them : Was it romantic to see your loved ones for the last time...seeing a big heavy rock going straight into their heads.

Was it romantic to see your family photo collapsing on the floor just like your life did few seconds ago.

Was it romantic seeing those walls which ones were your strength fall apart like there weren't any.

Was it romantic seeing your entire village wipe in the span of a night...waking up in the morning and seeing you are the only one left amongst those cruel pieces of rocks.

Was it romantic putting your children to sleep not having a thought that they might never wake up again.

Was it romantic putting them to sleep for the very last time.

Juggling between these pair of opposites that life throws at you is even more difficult when you are not on any one side.

You see your loved ones die but you don't. You don't die but you don't live.You see the coin trying to balance on you, and you can't see any of its sides anymore all you see is a little bit of both. 


                 Monsoons aren't pretty they are just showers of inconvenience.

    They aren't just showers of inconvenience, for some farmers, they are drops of joy.
    Every coin has two sides.

      Here, by Monsoon I meant heavy rains and heavy rains are not good for crops as well.

    Wow! Just the way you flipped the coin is like mind-blowing! Going in first with the comfort of monsoons, and slowing bringing out the grey hues and then the dark clouds with its outpours of harsh truth drenching you in a cold reality that makes a chill run down your spine!!! Not to say, a monsoon hater like me got more reasons to hate it, hehe🙂 Jokes apart, well written, and keep writing more.

Justice for Indian Press - Paranjoy Guha Thakurta

Hello readers 👋 Before my blogs get too personal. I thought of writing on something that is personal yet not so personal.  Paranjoy Guha Thakurta- Journalist , a documentary filmmaker and the author of gas wars and sue the messenger. He has been a guest faculty in IIMs and taught in JNU and university of delhi . And is one of the most veracious reporters around us today (Atleast that's what you feel when you read his books, he fearlessly targets capitalism, prefers staying unknown, could not be bought even by the richest man like many other journalists can be)  Image : Wikipedia   Subject to copyright infringement   It all started when the editor of a portal named the citizen- seema mustafa asked paranjoy to write or rather compile the articles and information about the adani topic. He wrote his first article about PM's visit to australia along with Gautam Adani and Arundhati Bhattacharya (The head of SBI).He also wrote about the rumours that SBI would give a billio...

Much needed mental vitamins 🖤

  Hello readers! Recently so me things gave me chills , things I never thought would happen to someone around me or someone so close to me as my brother. Let me put it this way, we had to pick up my brother from his school 2 hours earlier than his regular school time for around 3 days in a row. The reason as told by his principal was t hat he misses his mother  (he is 12 yrs old). Funny right ? the first day when he came home given this reason it was funny for us as well. But later when we had to pick him up early for three consecutive days...it wasn't funny. He did unusual things like waking up at the midnight and completing his incomplete notebooks or crying about not having friends (because he was a new student), which was strange for us, because he never really cared about finding friends and completing his incomplete notebooks before. On one not very fine day we got a call from the school again asking to pick him up once again because he misses his mother and just wanted ...

The foxes' land 🦚 - Not HCU's not the government's.

Hello readers 👋 I know I'm way too late on writing about this issue but I just couldn't get enough time to get involved in this one as i get with the other ones.  But anyways it’s not every day that you see students getting arrested over bulldozers right?!?! but that’s exactly what happened at the University of Hyderabad (HCU) on March30, 2024. What started as a peaceful protest turned into full-blown clashes, with bulldozers entering the 400-acre stretch of land (Kancha Gachibowli) that’s been a point of contention for over two decades. The Telangana government planned to clear the forested area to make space for an IT park, but let’s be honest this wasn’t about just land, it’s about so much more. On March 29, bulldozers started rumbling towards the disputed land, and that’s when the students decided to make their voices heard. Over 50 students were arrested for blocking the bulldozers, and after a few hours, they were released on personal bonds. But that didn’t stop the prot...
