They said but look what Covid-19 showed


They said we can’t tie up residential and farmers directly, middleman is essential.

Now look who is compulsorily tying up residential and farmers directly.

They said we have come too far we can’t just stop now.

Look who has stopped everything overnight now.

They said GDP was essential, brands are important, celebrities are gods.

Look who is making everyone wait in line for hours for food, medicines and forcing us to be in shelters.

They said we need RURAL DEVELOPMENT, because rural is not self dependent, self sufficient (read luxurious and wasteful)

Look who is running back to the rural now? Look who is able to grow and feed their families with the “ESSENTIALS” now. Look who is helplessly dependent on resources coming from NOT the urban.

They said we don’t have enough houses so we need to stack them in tight spaces one above the other in conditions that may keep you alive but kill the life in you.

Look who demands social and physical distancing now, look who is scared to shit about high density ‘CLUSTERS’

They said builders and constant building was important for the economy, to house people, oh such a noble deed right?

Look who is breathing better in the absence of the cement dust. Look who isn’t missing being housed now; rather getting way more of it than they’d like.

They said movement of people from rural to urban, from urban to metro is extremely crucial, and so is constructing wider roads, bridges and metros at the cost of fertile land.

Look what is abandoned and empty to the point of eerie now.

They said just hire a house help, give your kids to a goddamn nany, spend more hours in office. What do we pay you for? The deadline is crucial. The client is crucial.

Look who is getting reintroduced to work-life balance now.

They said homeschooling is redundant its a mockery, oh your kid will turn out to be an illiterate retard.L

Lookwho is homeschooling now.

They said military NEEDS bigger budgets

Look who is struggling to meet medical needs now.

They said THIS is normal, THIS is right, THIS is how you should live and THIS is the way ahead.

Look who is at a loss of direction, words and reality now.

'creative brain and abstract person'

Image
Image via Wikipedia 'creative brain and abstract person' is the compliment i received from a friend on orkut. This is not the first time I have received this compliment, but it is the first time it has angered me. Previously I use to like it when people called me creative, it use to flatter me, in my mind I would say "wow man! that's great people think I am creative they think am smart , I must be at a higher level than the others". But today it just annoyed me, 'creative'.. bullshit, either they are saying it cause they want me to appreciate their work too, or they are just being polite, i don't know. Sometimes I feel like a total screw up, I don't have the street smartness or the skills of playing politics and manipulating things, I am utterly lazy and awkwardly shy, how am i ever gonna sustain in this media industry tat i haven't even entered yet? I know what an utter moron I am, people never see that(if hiding tat flaw is creativity then ...

love is air

Image
one of my friend was asked "what is true love to you?", he said "its a waste of time and money". one "yes" followed this remark. Of course they were both hurt in love, and drunk at that time. But seriously what is love? If I were asked the same question, I would say"love is like air" (not love is in the air that's a different phrase , i hope u know). It has different elements and compositions like air. It has different forms like air, and just like air you can never see it but feel it. It is as limitless and free as air. I personally hate the words 'boyfriend and girlfriend' sounds too lame, typical and possessive to me. All you can do is breath love, feel it, enjoy it and then let it pass through you making space for the next. Ever heard of air to be in one place forever?? no right!! then don't review the entire show of LIFE on the basis of just one episode. love one and love all. Be happy people.

ambitions or craziness

graduating from college gives you weird feelings you are happy tat finally you have graduated and no more exams , sleepless nights spent over assignments and projects and at the same time no more daily hangout wid friends either. but that's still something very common. i went and collected my final year mark sheet yesterday . somehow i was not excited to see it, I was not excited to know my result. I knew i wud pass, n i did, may be tats y i don't feel the excitement . what i had always worried abt is making this education worth all the money i paid for it. but here i am having second thoughts about changing fields , that wud include another 3-4 yrs of college education and 4-5 lakhs of rupees, neither of which i am willing to spend. worst is i don't noe which field to get into if i actually do change. this has always been a problem for me since i was school kid. y cant i fix my mind to one thing? i have been accused of being unstable all my life. honestly,...
