How Dare We ??All this noise about Greta Thunberg and speculations  that all her bravery would go waste because people specially leaders will  not give a dime to her pleas  will  fall on deaf  ears because the (worldly) wise know that what is important is how to make money, who is bothered about environment and the sufferings the next generations will have to go through, as far as everything suits us now there will be other people to take care of the future.And nothing to worry everything does fall into the groove hasn't that been, how it has been till now !!???Specially in India this is how the reaction has been and will be  .

Chained to destiny? Yes I am.Born a woman, a child with shacklesA human with no desires , a human with no choiceA human without a right, a human without any might.But not a human without any pride.Destiny ruled my being, destiny ruled my breathDestiny defined for me, the path on which  to treadDestiny guided me, destiny steered  meI was chained lest I may stray.But destiny could not kill that sparkWhich burnt in my head not in my heartI was destiny's childBrought up in the wild.Destiny is but written by othersIt's not my will of survivalThese chains and shackles are mere material, Strength is but not mortal.It  breaks the chains, I fly soaring highAnd ...

Of late I have been watching a lot of movies and TV soaps . And I discovered that whenever a romantic moment is about to take place a mild breeze stars blowing , the hair of the respective protagonists gets  rustled and I smile !!! thank God all is well and you are still in heaven ,( This job used to be done by the  notes of the Sitar in  our days) .  I thought of writing this because these days I get carried away by the happenings on the screen ( just the way I used to about 45/50 years back) .  I like this style more because a cool breeze is easily available  than the Sitar players to help denote that  particular emotion . In those days I could neith... Read more
