My pathological condition becomes questionable when there is a slightest chance to "Travel- Wild".

Reaching Nagarhole Jungle Lodge, it seemed I had back geared 100 years behind, amidst British-era-Royal-hospitality, where even a little piece of architecture was exemplifying aristocracy. </div>

<span data-offset-key="4cv7f-0-0">Then there came the “Jungle safari”. We are so use to zoo and captive animals, eyes just came popping out on the sight of tiger without an iron wattle between us. We WERE in “Their –Empire”. The 'Royal' of The Jungle didn’t even consider us worth giving a slightest glance at, he crossed the Safari Jeep ignoring our presence, leaving us breathless. The only sound crossed the jungle chirping was the “sound of shutters” from awestruck ‘pilgrims’. </span></div>

<span data-offset-key="9kfqa-0-0">More was waiting to strike surprise on the level of expectations we nestled in our heart. River safari started with the setting Sun as back drop.

<span data-offset-key="ame9m-0-0">Being back in tent we couldn’t talk for hours, the disbelief what we actually experienced made us wordless.

<span data-offset-key="aptid-0-0">The after-coffee-evening-session was still pregnant. In the “show –hall” we were presented with a movie on Nagarhole ecosystem.It was explained how a healthy Tiger implicates “healthy” life for the whole human kind. A healthy Tiger means healthy prey base, implying healthy vegetation, which means healthy rain, controlled temperature, water in the river and half of the weather problem solved for human being.</span></div>

<span data-offset-key="bvvvc-0-0">At first when I heard the per day-per person cost of this trip no doubt I felt it’s bit at high-end but when the jeep begun to leave Nagarhole I was just wondering how they managed it so cheap, such “Maharaja suite” where we stayed, wake up calls, bed- tea, breakfast, evening tea/coffee with snacks, unlimited buffet lunch & dinner, two safaris, a whole film show, campfire, soup,seamless services, in such a pittance… !!!...??? Might be it is possible only because it is a Govt. Resort. </span></div>

<span data-offset-key="837ja-0-0">Nagarhole National Park resides 220km S-W of Bangalore and 80 km away from Mysore. Now the connectivity from Mumbai to Mysore is pretty uncomfortable. One can travel to Bangalore and hire a car or come to Mysore from Bangalore by train and then hire a car to Nagarhole. One needs to be pretty careful while hiring the car because they end up charging unreasonably high sometimes. </span></div>

<span style="color: #404040; font-family: "arial" , "sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt;">If silence is a call for
you, Munnar waits, 110 kms east of Cochin/Kochi International/domestic Airport;
where an unchained magic wand, kept the
green waves on halt to break in loud splashes…!! Contrary to the ``coffee
penchant –South`` Munnar lives on tea. The intoxicating aroma of crushed green tea
leaves create ``musk`` effect inside of, every must visit ``tea factory``. The
cloud floats tugs away the shadow over the green valleys over the lakes… leaves
behind the symphony of silence. Two days in Munnar-an unexplainable love
render.</span></div>

The monsoon beauties:-<br />
Susurration of fugitive monsoon streams, rapid sooth on asphyxia of city life. Underneath the lush vegetation a biodiversity lurks. Wait and wait to get a glimpse of them. Puddles filled with tadpoles, shrubs with flickers of yellow, bluish grey, brown spots, as elusive as an untouchable dream-they are flickering fluttering butterflies. Cameo appearance of a yellow crab crosses the lateritic rut. The antenna eyes follow it`s fan till it takes a dip in it`s puddle hide out.<br />
Who left the white bordered orange lace on the mossy bark?? The unbelievable intricacy on the sporophore??<br />
Squat on the ground let the mud-soft soil cover your toosies, bent to see where aerial-roots thicken the ill-lit. Wait! The patience pays!! The black-drop lightens, the acclimatised eyes see the levee of Mr. Giant Toad with his councillors- little toads, family of yellow crabs; some weave-masters too? May be! The weak camera phone fails to capture.<br />
Let us leave them undisturbed! Let the fairy-tale meeting go on! Let Tinkerbell come to discuss the monsoon works -to be done!!</div>

When heartbreaks in so many pieces that it’s impossible to collect, crying helps a lot….!!<br />She speaks something outside the ac coupe, I went to the door.<br />“Blackberries Madam? Ten Rupees per packet”, eyes of expectation.<br />“Do you have father? What does your father do?”<br />“Nothing sleeps at home!”<br />Too drunk to work? Disease eroding inside?? No. I didn't ask, didn't want to know. I dared not.<br />“So you don’t go to school?”<br />Thousand watts lit up her eyes “I did! I can write my name”. Pride percolates, the little eyes.<br />“Take it”.<br />Light dims. “Give me Ten Rupees madam. I don’t have change”.<br />“Keep it..!!”.<br />Disbelief reaches the eyes, breaks in an imperceptible smile. So many expressions, such young eyes. Hazed smile. Hazed in ataraxy. She hurries away.<br />I rushed to hide.I am a strong woman. I don’t cry. At least in front of everyone....<br />Under Indian Act No.61, 1986 child labour is prohibited and can fetch imprisonment to the employer. Official figure says there are 12 million child labour in India, but NGOs reckons the real figure to be 60 million......!!<br />She sells black berries. Her tired eyes look on but devoid interest.

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Preetilata<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She was a dark, unconfident, nervous
girl of eight, going everyday to the school Principal to report bullying, with
no result. Her emaciated body made her look darker than the actual. Her mother
stopped pushing her to eat after her brother was born. No, not because it was a
`` dream come true`` to have a male child but because Preetilata had no time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Preetilata’s comrade husband`s bizarre
trial on non-income generating professions made her the sole bread earner of
the family. She was grateful to her husband, very grateful. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Born in a conservative Brahmin family
her father left her in his ancestor`s fort-house in Varanasi to be raised by
her grandparents, who never felt the need to send her in a school. Preeti`s
father took his wife to accompany him in his transferable job till the time a
male child was born. He never thought of killing or abandoning his girls but
left them to grow a ``weed-life``. After five girls when a boy was born
Preeti’s father decided to settle down in his home town Varanasi forgoing
further promotions. That was when Preetilata was allowed to appear for
10<sup>th</sup> standard exam. Beyond anybody`s expectation she passed with 52%
marks that enabled her to get admission to
a high school . <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Never much allowed mixing up with
children of her, own age, and unaware of current situations, those two years were
worst two years of Preeti’s life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She was five feet five inch, seventeen
year old, with beetle shape face of golden complexion, adorned by knee-length wavy
hair, when her father chose a dark boy of twenty seven for her. He was son of
his friend, a rebel with dreamy eyes for a changed society - a society of
equality. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">That was a turning point in Preetilata`s
life when Akash encouraged her to complete her studies. She graduated with
honours just before Damayanti was born.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akash was overwhelmed, seeing the child
looked exactly like him, not a single glimpse of her mother. Everyone saw a
dark child in Preeti`s golden hands but no one noticed the bleeding inside.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She completed Master Degree, becoming a
Government-School`s teacher of Hindi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">While submitting her thesis Akshar was
expected. Ultimately a fair child was born. Be a girl or a boy how much she
expected a fair child, looking like her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Her comrade husband never differentiated
between the children. The dream of a society with equality was far more
important than a wish for a ``male child``.His family was never in centre of
his life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Beneath the pride of having a rebel husband
Preetilata had insecurities. She never attained the intellect level of her
comrade husband. For Akash she was a student, a dependable wife, a base for
life but never a friend. Every evening he enjoyed talking to his high intellect
fellow comrades of fair gender but he never left his wife.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Over working, tension, insecurity crept
to weaken Preeti. Everyday was a day of erosion. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She was only thirty eight when Damayanti
turned seventeen. The daughter`s uncanny resemblance with the father made
Preetilata to believe that she was never going to be her own. Damayanti was
never ``her own``. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti was lean with piercing eyes
and thick lips. The only thing she inherited from her mother was her wavy hair
bouncing around her face. She was no more a shy girl, with her natural glow of
puberty she looked wheatish than dark. People praised her as she turned to be a
nice damsel which was nevertheless a relief of their fear about her ugliness of
childhood. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti hated her old fashioned name
as she grew up; she had hardly anything for her mother. She always avoided boys
and enjoyed solitude. Her face book account was full with friends from
different countries who shared similar interest in photography or animal rescue,
where she was sure she would never meet them in person. Though her childhood
friends became soft with her with time but she despised them a lot. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Preetilata died when Damayanti completed
her MBA in finance and Akshar was in engineering college. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti left her small home town to
start working in a Bank as a junior business analyst in the city. There she met
Jayant, a young sales Manager of six feet height. His deep voice, muscled body,
vulnerable eyes captured her. She never realised if Jayant had captured her
soul or incited her desire. He was everyone`s favourite, the beautiful front
desk girls stole glances whenever he passed them. Damayanti felt ecstatic when
Jayant started fumbling while talking in front of her. It was an attraction to
the unknown, attraction to the taboo. She was drawn to magnetic Jayant. His
warm breath on their locked lips made her breathless on their first date. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was three months when she started
feeling suffocated. She started to the hate nights she spent with him. But his
overpowering charisma tamed her as a pet. It took few months more for Jayant to
realize that she was an escapist, when
he called her a whore, threatened to reveal their relationship and ended up
hitting her face on a busy working bank day. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Nobody had any idea that they shared
nights, nobody even imagined. Damayanti knew to keep secretes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Other colleagues caught hold of Jayant
found him inebriated, thrashed him before handing over to police. Damayanti was
left with, a scar on her left eye brow and a fear of acid attack from a jilted
lover when she had to go to her home town, for her father`s immediate need of
by pass surgery.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akshar<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akshar never depended or had faith on
parental help in getting settled, before he got a job and married his college
sweetheart Neha to settle down in Canada. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">He was neither close to his father nor did
he share any resemblance with him. He was part of Preetilata. The ``home`` part
closed inside Akshar when Preetilata died and he found his refuge in Neha. But
like an obedient robot he remained available whenever it was required. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti always wanted to keep her
little brother aloof from responsibilities. Father was the only person she felt
connected with, responsibilities never bothered her. She was a part of Akash.
In three major operations she only let Akshar to know before hand was the by
pass surgery. She needed the extremely dependable Akshar beside her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She was afraid of loosing her father.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akash<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akash decided something for his girl. A
decision of marriage. A young man from a rightist family. A well settled man, a
mama`s boy for Damayanti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``He is the right man for you`` comrade
Akash explained his daughter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``Doing a nine to five job. He is
grandchild of a friend of my Guru (his senior leftist comrade whom he
followed)``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Akash chose a man from a rightist
family. He monitored the marriage with a huge bandage on his chest clutching
his son`s and daughter-in-law`s hands. Damayanti took a transfer to head office
in Mumbai to settle down with Shyamal. <u><o:p></o:p></u></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shyamal<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shyamal was the only child of his
parents and had lost his mother five years back. He was unexpectedly born to a
forty five year old mother and fifty five year old father when they almost lost
their hopes for a baby. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti`s father-in-law was a stark,
peevish ailing man of eighties who never liked her western dresses or late
sitting at office. His unpleasant face watched every step of her. Every time
Shyamal was back at home he started complaining about Damayanti’s behaviour,
non-interest in cooking and her dresses. Shyamal turned into a daily
transmitter of inputs about behavioural correction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oxygen started decreasing in slow rate.
Damayanti shifted to Indian wear, started cooking with her office returned
tired body and stopped arguing with Shyamal. Her window was her office.
Somewhere deep inside she knew if Shyamal had asked her to leave the job, she
would leave Shyamal. But Shyamal never did. She was a prize for Shyamal, an
asset to brag on. A fresh connect to the modern world. He was too weak to fight
his father; he had gratitude of an obedient child. He admired Damayanti`s free
spirit, deep inside he nurtured a fear of loosing her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">With Damayanti`s, hospital stuffs` and
the neighbours` relief one day Shyamal’s father passed away after their seven
days sleepless night outside ICU. Shyamal inherited the Crore Rupees worth flat
and some nominal bank balance. He felt left alone in this world with the loss
of his father`s steady government pension and with his unstable job. Inertia started to creep him up. He became all
most silent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dhananjay<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">On
a low work-pressure day Damayanti saw on ``Nature`s photography`` page a
picture of Pune. Rising sun over a lake, silhouette of a king fisher on a bear
tree. `How serene! ``she thought. Before posting the comment she noticed the
name of the photographer - Dhananjay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
reply came almost immediately.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> `` Are you interested in Photography? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> ``Yes! A bit! I don`t get much time
though. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> ``If you have a passion you have to make the
time. Else time never comes. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti
got her senses back with her boss`s voice asking for a report. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> `` You have to make time for your passion``
she repeated in enchant.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> ``What??`` <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> `` Nothing Sir. I am mailing the report in a
minute. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shyamal
had lost his job due to high number of uninformed leaves. He mostly stayed at
home. He hardly went out or kept in touch with friends. He grasped on the money
he had inherited, never offered any contribution to the household expenses and
never complained about anything. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti
understood two things about Shyamal, it was meaningless to request him to find
another job and he might be dead without complaining if she stops giving him
food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">They
hardly spoke. Damayanti started feeling fatigued, even to soothe comrade Akash,
lamenting over her misfortune. She felt offended when Akshar called up offering
monetary help on Neha`s request. She cleared that her income was not bad in
Indian context though she didn`t earn in Dollar.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> One
thing kept banging on her head.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I need to stretch these 24 hours to

<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
meeting<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There was a post calling all wannabe
photographers on Sunday at Fort area for a photography workshop under
supervision of Mr. Firoz Akhtar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I need to make my time`` she thought
as she registered her name. Damayanti took out her DSLR camera from wardrobe.
She bought it with savings of her second and third salary. Her first salary
went out buying gifts for her full family. How selfless she was few years back,
now she hardly felt like even speaking to them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sunday morning 9am sharp she started
from home without noticing Shyamal was looking at her from the corner sofa. She
informed him she had work, so might get late and the food was in fridge but
never discussed in details. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was an amazing Sunday full of
surprise. All like minded people gather together to follow Mr. Akhtar in hopes
of capturing their own masterpieces. In long
time Damayanti never felt so fresh in a torrid afternoon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">But the surprise was somewhere else.
There was Dhananjay. First she couldn`t relate, only wondered `` where I have
seen this man? ``, when Dhananjay came up to her with a gaiety smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` So...? You have made your time? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``I assist Firoz Sir, I am in his team.
I only posted the event on face book on behalf of our photography school.``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Oh!! `` A fresh breeze reached her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dhananjay took more interest to remain
beside her than with Mr. Akhtar. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I like your height. What`s your
height? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I like tall girl `` a young man said
inside Damayanti with a coy smile on the first night of their marriage. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Five seven`` she replied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Not that common in India. I went to
Pakistan with Firoz Sir, there girls are quiet tall``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` But in India Punjabi girls are pretty
tall too. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Yeah! And beautiful too`` Dhananjay
said with a smile. `` You have any Punjabi connection? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` How cruel `` Damayanti brooded.
Somewhere Preetilata was till living inside her. She broke into a smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Do I look so? Or, it is your cruel
way of hurting people? `` Damayanti broke in louder laugh now. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She saw no joke in Dhananjay`s eyes but a
sheer surprise. He hurried her to join the team.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti came back with a glare in her
mind and didn`t feel any weariness while cooking. Shyamal was fast asleep. She
had to dine alone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">After few days of silence Damayanti`s
mobile flashed a message.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Would you be interested to join the
next photo-walk on Saturday? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The message was from an unknown number.
She remembered exchanging number with a girl in the last session. ``Ahh!! I
have forgotten to save her number then`` Damayanti tried hard to remember the
girl`s name. There was no name mentioned in the message. She thought of calling
the number at lunch hour to find out who it was, which eventually she forgot.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">At 8.30 pm she received another message
`` you didn`t respond``. Her heart jumped with surprise when she saw it was
signed `` Dhananjay``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` How he got my number? ``. She was
dumb found when Shyamal entered the kitchen to fill a bottle from the aqua
guard. Damayanti hurried on her cooking, ``Shyamal must be hungry`` she
thought.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The mobile light flashed with a new message
in the dark room beside her, `` Are you wondering how I got your number? ``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti stole a look at Shyamal, saw
his back, he was sleeping. She switched off the mobile. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Are you playing games? ``Shyamal
asked. Damayanti thought for an answer.
`` You have office tomorrow, sleep now ``. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Yes , yes. I am addicted to games you
know, don`t worry I have switched it off. Sorry, the light woke you up. No? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shyamal didn`t answer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Why I am acting weird? I have done
nothing to hide `` she scolded herself. `` Oh yes I was surprised. Perhaps Dhananjay
is in inebriated condition, that`s why he was messaging. I should have messaged
him asking to stop disturbing me. Come on! Those were some harmless messages
only. `` Damayanti fell asleep talking to herself. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the coffee break she came out in the
smoking zone of the office and found no one was there.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Hello! Dhananjay? How did you get my
number? `` She called him up.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Sorry sorry!! I was drunk last night.
Terribly sorry to disturb you. I – I just wanted to know if you are – er –
coming on Saturday or not? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Awkward silence. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Actually, you were telling your
number to a girl... well...and I noted it. Please forgive, it will never happen
again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dhananjay waited for Damayanti to cut
the connection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti sighed. `` I am no more an
inexperienced young girl longing for taboos. Nobody can any more sweep me over
feet`` she thought while disconnecting.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Saturday morning Shyamal trudged
himself, out of the house, at 9.30 am with a new curriculum vitae in his
folder. Damayanti left for her new photography lesson. Saturday Sunday were her
weekly off and everyday was an off for Shyamal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She saw Dhananjay. He kept avoiding her
eyes neither she tried to break a conversation. By 2pm they entered an eatery
for lunch. Over enthusiastic students fought to huddle in the same table with
Mr. Firoz. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Spending even five minutes with Mr.
Firoz is fruitful. He keeps on telling new things. `` Damayanti thought when
Dhananjay came to join her on the table. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I- I.. am sorry. I shouldn`t have taken your number
without asking you. I haven`t touched liquor after that day. It`s so
embarrassing. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``Do you take liquor everyday? `` <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dhananjay`s face flushed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Actually I stay here alone. My
parents stay away at our home town. After office I join Firoz Sir`s evening
classes to assist him. I get so tired, but my thoughts don`t let me to doze
off......``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti half listened his gibber. Now
a day, she felt irritated over long conversation. She vaguely saw Dhananjay`s
face. She never noticed before he was quiet a fair guy. Light brown hair
covered his forehead, firm jaw, but soft lips, nose made out of an eagle beak.
Damayanti smiled in her mind how much Preetilata liked sharp features she
remembered. ``Shyamal has soft lips of a baby, vulnerable pink lips`` she
thought. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` You look nice. I didn`t understand
why you reacted like that last day. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Oh! Thanks. `` She tried to smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I am genuinely sorry for those
messages ``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` It`s okay. `` This time her heart touched
her smile.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The gaiety smile returned on Dhananjay`s
face. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` So what does your husband do? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti got stiff, this question she
hated most. Every time, every where people keep on asking her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the beginning she tried to remain
honest telling everybody that she was the bread earner, but she opted lying
very soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` He is in business you know,
export-import...! `` was the answer she opted for, otherwise the reactions were
unbearable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``What?
Why? Why don`t you tell him to work? Did he lie about his income before
marriage? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">``Should I talk to him? `` <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Oh! Poor thing how much I pity you.
It must hurt when people ask you. No? I understand. It`s shame for you.``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Yes! Shyamal was a shame in her life.
How many insults she took for him?? It
tore her apart. She opted to be a respectable woman of the society over a
pitiable one, through lies. She pretended to be one of those lucky women whose
husbands remain so busy to earn that they had no time for their family. Damayanti
loved the sympathy and respect pervaded through the listener.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;"> ``A
woman whose husband is nothing has no place; people take every possible way to
lower her down in form of sympathy or by making her a gossip object. As if they
would have been happy if she had taken a divorce. They could have got the
“wonderful chance” to talk behind her, to discuss how bad divorcee women are. Marriage is a trap!! `` Damayanti tried to
stop thinking with a sigh to concentrate on Dhananjay. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">It was an uneasy moment when she found
Dhananjay had already paid the bill when she was lost. He didn`t disturb her,
simply let her to think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The lesson was about how to shoot
strangers, sometimes without letting them to understand. At the end Dhananjay
said `` It`s easy you know. Just capture them when
they are lost. `` He brought his DSLR`s display in front of her. Lots of her photos
were there, sitting unmindful at the eatery. Damayanti couldn`t get angry this
time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` You scoundrel!! Delete them. `` They broke
into a loud laughter. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti found Shyamal at the entrance.
`` How was the interview? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` They will let me know. `` Damayanti
no more felt irritated with his impassive slackness. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Chapter -IV<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She was surprised when she saw her photo
on face book uploaded by Dhananjay, opening her account at the lunch hour. It
got three hundred likes from other members of the group and from Dhananjay`s
long list of friends. Many of them asked ``who is she? ``where Dhananjay had
replied `` She is my friend and don’t worry she is married. `` followed by a
winking smiley. Few of her colleagues who were in her friend list came to
congratulate her on the photo. Damayanti told them it was taken by a
photographer friend with a wink. It was a beautiful light moment. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There was silence for few days when
Dhananjay came on chatting and asked if she was interested to go somewhere with
him? It left Damayanti speechless. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Is he mad? Is he offering sex so
directly? `` She thought to disconnect when Dhananjay detailed that five photographers
and twenty models were going to Goa on a photo shoot and he was allowed to take
an assistant and no need to worry the accommodation would be separate. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">There were a fifteen or twenty days gap after
Damayanti turned down the proposal. One day Dhananjay called up requesting her to
meet him. He had something to tell her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She took a half day leave from office to
meet Dhananjay at Bandra. They entered a dimly lit posh coffee shop detached
from the tumult in the middle to the tumult. He came and sat just beside
Damayanti with two cups of coffee. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` You wanted to tell me something. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Yes! `` without a cue all of a sudden
he kept his head on Damayanti`s shoulder like a helpless child. Damayanti remained
frozen. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I got an assignment`` Dhananjay
continued `` I am moving to America for next three years by next weekend.`` She
felt vacant. He was leaving. It was Wednesday. Nine days left. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I wanted to be with you so very much,
why you refused to come? Whom you are fooling Dama? Anybody can understand you
are not in a happy marriage. You always avoid speaking about your husband; does
he really stay with you? ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Dhananjay straightened himself, tried to
sit dignifiedly. Damayanti felt a long lost emotion within her, bulging to be
expressed. She was just living a life of lie. Everywhere she went she carried
the burden of her marriage, impersonating to be a happily married woman. Even
she assured her father that Shyamal had started a business. Always swathed in
unbearable lies to save a face, a face of grace, a face with a wish to be a
less pitied woman. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti couldn`t speak a single word. Dhananjay
wiped his tears to sip the coffee. The hot coffee, gone almost cold. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I will come back after three months after
getting bit settled there. Make up your mind. I want you to come with me. ``
Dhananjay uttered possessively to cover up his nervousness. They saw a movie
together and left with a promise to meet on the last Sunday he had before
leaving for America.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti remained awake almost the whole
night keeping her mobile on vibrator mode under her pillow. She felt the
vibrations as messages kept on entering. She knew whose messages they were. She
couldn`t move Shyamal cuddled her tightly in his deep sleep. She turned her
face saw a dim light fell on his lips through the curtains. She wanted to turn
off the ac. She felt cold, very very cold. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Next Sunday they met at their favourite
place- Fort, it was a quiet meeting. Dhananjay came to leave her at the
station. Damayanti had to catch a local to get back home. The ladies` first
class compartment was empty on the Sunday evening. She stood on the door while he was standing
on the platform to bid goodbye.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` It`s like a teenager love story`` she
thought. `` But life is so different now. `` <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The train started. Dhananjay jumped into
the train to steel a kiss and jumped off. It was really embarrassing and
unexpected. Damayanti looked around to see who else saw it. No, the attached
compartment was also empty. Thank God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">She stood with her fear stupor body. ``What
the hell is going no? What am I doing? Am I out of my mind? `` Damayanti
regained herself. No she needed to take a decision. A firm decision. She saw
Dhananjay still standing on the platform looking at her, getting smaller with
the speeding train. She smiled at him, waved her hands. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">A message entered from an international
number on one evening, Shyamal picked up her phone as she had left the mobile
on centre table unattended. He called her out, ``There is message for you``
then left for the study to continue his tiring online job search. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti was not feeling good. The
turmoil had brought her down. She took all her courage and messaged Dhananjay
back. After last few days` vague answers she ultimately ended up being straight
forward. Now she needed to face her husband. She forgot her mobile; he must
have seen those messages. She entered the study. Shyamal was sitting on the
chair facing the door. He looked straight on her eyes. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Tell me! ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` What? I..`` Damayanti lost her words,
her mind squirmed for answer. Paralysis slithered her. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` You are a bitch! ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Damayanti felt poignant. `` Bitch??
Indeed!! I sacrificed my life for you. Now obviously I am a bitch, whore,
slut... Go on man! `` She thought. But couldn`t speak anything, guilt kept her
silent. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` Why are you smiling? What do you
know? ``she shrieked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I just knew you are a BITCH. I have
faith in you. `` Shyamal continued with composure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` <u>A <b>B</b>abe <b>I</b>n <b>T</b>otal <b>C</b>ontrol of <b>H</b>erself</u>.``
he took a pause ``somewhere inside you love your worthless husband darling. Don`t
leave me. One day I will make you happy. `` <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shyamal lowered his eyes with voice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` You checked my mobile? ``.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` No! All your passwords are in my
name… have you ever noticed that??`` I always reside inside you. Didn’t you realise?
I opened your face book account. I was just waiting you to come back. ``<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">`` I took a right decision `` she
thought. She felt burdened, the burden of responsibilities but never felt
suffocated, with Shyamal. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The night owl saw embraced silhouettes
through the dark. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

9th May 2014 was "25th Boishak(Bengali Month)", 153th birthday of Rabindra Nath Tagore. I am no connoisseur to discuss the magnetism Tagore has on Bengali culture or on the broader spread.

Sanctum Sanctorum:-<br />
The crepuscular nature of Lotus made it the flower of ``Sun``,so the temple is built on an inverted lotus plinth. It is built in such a fashion so that the first and last ray of Sun of equinox falls on the Idol of ``Suriya Devta``(Sun God). Though no Idol is there at present, thanks to the many invasions happened in India. <br />

This lady kept on asking me in a desperate self-search of reason, of visiting a temple at 40*c temperature ``Is the temple open for worshiping??`` No my dear lady ``It is not``....``Why.....??`` She exclaimed in desperation. Mayhaps she cursed herself for making such worthless visit.<br />
This temple has transcend to the worship of historical splendor. Please look beyond your self centered ``temple visit`` apecially when you are at beauteous ``Medhora-Sun Temple`` Look at this foreign gentleman standing in the torrid tropical heat. Why he is here? Think dear lady. How insensitive we become sometimes..<br />

The nucleus of the temple is faintly lit,muggy, full of alerting screeches, amorous coos and harmony. Smell of bats whirls through the alleys of pillars, keeping you squinting through the majestically florid structures.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Thoughts are like flickering lights
emanating uncontrollably and hitting heads in a cauldron. Writing is the only catharsis
of a disturbed mind. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Of lately I am coming across many
writings about political dissection, quiet provocative and articulated writings elaborating
essentials of India, foreboding changes. I can feel the palpable undercurrent,
yearning for a change. I can feel from inside the despair, hatred, frustration which
is no more suppressed in the subconscious. Change is the only constant factor
in this universe. Even the light we meet everyday, every second is not the same
light of yesterday it is a new atomic combustion. So nothing can be same and
new things are essential and necessary. What is most relevant in today`s world
might be the most obsolete thing of tomorrow. That`s the reason religion can
never rule a society. Every religion evolves in a specific socio-economic
condition as a salve to emotional insecurities and majorly to infuse bonding
within a group through norms and regulations applicable for that period of
time. If we try to superimpose those hundreds of years old norms into today`s
world it is a sheer foolhardiness. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
What leads us to this hope for
change? <br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Retrospection gives us few things
enough to create abhorrence, despair, insecurity then anger. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The emaciating economic run in
contrast of China, nepotistic political tradition, corruption from the level of
education, judicial system, health & care to all other social aspects. Two
countries inflicted with same kind of vices, huge population, misogynist
culture so deep routed it reaches even life before birth. One adopts
steel-strict attitude towards the problems other accepts politics as the simple
``game of throne``. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
When a geriatric person exclaims
``Japan!! What was Japan 50-60 years back?? Japanese products were considered
as Chinese products of today!! `` It hits the cord in a complete way around. ``Grandpa...Do you mean China will be Japan
when we will be old....??? ``This thought evokes anger. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
So there is a desperate hope for
a change, but here where lies the hope, there lies the fear. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A major part of Hindu population
has a strong feeling of inequality and injustice transpiring from feelings of insecurity.
Speaking to many people surprises me that they think there is a fair chance
that ``the so called minority community`` will overpower India one day and we
will loose our heritage, culture, religion and be murdered, raped or converted
to other religion. Basis of this fear is the uncontrolled growth of that
specific population and their bigotry ``Jihadist`` mentality. It is deeply believed
that they will finish off all Hindu, Christian and Buddhist population, so ``The Iron Man Government`` is the only hope for justice and security. He is the only one for
our salvation. </div>

<br />
<br />
Deep in the night in the solitude of sleeping souls is she crying?<br />
My heart wonder neither in pain nor in ecstasy. It matters no more.<br />
I am just an unwanted body less soul.<br />
I see her bitter cry in the depth of darkness. I see her cry.<br />
<br />
<i><u>The fear:-</u></i><br />
He is afraid. Holds his boy tight to his chest.<br />
He wanted him so much we had to clear the path.<br />
We had to clear, me and my sisters.. He wanted him so much.<br />
But the fear. Why he is so afraid? Is he in pain ? Afraid to disclose? <br />
<br />
<i><u>The People:-</u></i><br />
Thou people may kill but curse the others. Spell the suffering<br />
They cry out loud<br />
Serves you right! The killer of three...<br />
The dark of heart, how many had to die in the face of desire...<br />
We don't repent, don't go to penance.<br />
Fear is unwarranted but the indigenous, crops the mind.<br />
<br />
<i><u>Sisters:-</u></i><br />
I don't meet them often..<br />
They are bitter.. mourn in resent<br />
Angry in desire.. simple desire to be born<br />
I feel nothing.. nothing is felt<br />
Devoid the emotions..<br />
I had to die..<br />
Souls don't speak, they only cry.<br />
<br />
<i><u>The boy:-</u></i><br />
Only him, sleeps in peace<br />
Peace of love, peace to thrall.<br />
He is proud to be in the world<br />
Proud of killings,<br />
Started long before he was born<br />
It gives him power, power to rule<br />
He feels nothing, nothing but righteous<br />
Right to have a path to the mother's womb.<br />
Killing is his right, Axiom to rule.<br />
<br />
<i><u>The fossil of incipient soul:-</u></i><br />
I want to come again to see them all.<br />
20 years later... where this violence has gone?<br />
To see if another Ram Singh is born ???<br />

<br />
Why should I pay for purchase of a STOVE????????<br />
<br />
<br />
Ascribe my parental genealogy, my job postings or my love for mountain I am devout of North-East India.<br />
<br />
Let's meet some clam ladies--<br />
<br />
Traversing through the craggy path, abrasion of cold windy weather you expect nothing but more and more way to go. Verdure soothes the soul, ice encrusted mountain tips lures,strength revolts back, aflutter in the sight of a small impromptu shop cradles in the desolation. Serendipity! when despair-looks for a rest.<br />
<br />
Sojourn in the thatched shop divulge another stage of life. A stage where struggles in life is little imaginable for people of plains.<br />
<br />
"Where do you stay sisters??"<br />
<br />
" There. down there".<br />
<br />
They pointed in somewhere, towards a far away valley where my myopic eyes failed or my disbelief??<br />
<br />
" Where?? I see nothing!! "<br />
<br />
" There are some hamlets down there." a clam lady tried to comfort my distorted soul.<br />
<br />
Every day, every morning. they carry all the amenities way up here to serve the outworn trekkers ( or just demented travelers for them ?? I wonder!) . Way up the hill.<br />
<br />
Tourism is their main source of income. They work their life out to survive! All the shops I encountered in the hill regions of North-East India are managed by ladies mainly while their husbands are out on outdoor jobs. They work hard to keep pace with the hardest life of mountain.<br />
<br />
I cupped my hands around the hot metal hollow pipe placed inside the furnace as they suggested, to revive my strength.<br />
I dared not to ask " Where the fuel come from?" in the fear, they will answer in unbearable placidity<br />
"Why? We carry the coal/logs on our back twice a week way up here."<br />
<br />
I dared not.<br />
<br />
The reminiscence still bleeds respect , evokes huge strength whenever I face adversities in my cocooned life of comfort.<br />
<br />

16th February 2014<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is a foggy Sunday.Leaves, dripping from tips in the balcony garden, unburden cache of dew. Reminiscence of winter- nip of a chill in the air. In a whim decided- how about a trekking?? </div>
<div>
A bottle of water, money purse and camera you are off to Karnala Fort.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Karnala Fort is situated within the Karnala Bird Sanctuary. 12 km from Panvel Railway station.</div>
<div>
<br />
Let's ruminate a bit!!........<br />
<br />
The exact date of Karnala Fort formation is not confirmed but it antecedes 1400 AD. Karnala was capital North Konkan region under Devagiri Yadavs ( 1248-1318) and under Tughlaq rulers in (1318-1347). Then it went under command of Gujarat Sultanate, in 1540 was taken over by Nizam Shah of Ahmednagar, later under some conflict of internal battle manipulation it went under command of Portuguese Commanding Office. On 1670 Maharaja Shivaji won it back but on his death in 1680 Emperor Aurangzeb conquered it. Ultimately in 1818 East India Company took over command on it.</div>

The Yadavs,The Tughlaq, Nizam Shah, The </span></span><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Portuguese Rulers, The great ruler Chattrapati Shivaji, </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"> Emperor Aurangzeb and the finally British Rulers. How many stories, how many memorabilia cached in your stones ?? I wonder. All decayed all ruined -The tower of "Pandu's" still standing erected in lost glory, denies all dilapidation. </span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Trekking to Karnala Fort leaves you mesmerised.</span></span></span><br />

Heliolatry was prevalent at times in different parts of this globe and it`s very difficult to ignore the omnipotence of this mighty star. This day long journey of Sol edifies us the essence of life.<br />
<br />
May it seem weak in the beginning if determined we will rise and shine. If clouds are there and nobody can see, does not mean we will stop working, when our stint on this planet ends rest and depart gracefully, peacefully ,impeccably. Every stage in life has it`s beauty- behold,withstand,wade through the subterranean currents of life, don`t wait for other people`s appreciation, don`t wait for supervision, life is sublime, souse in it - soak it up.<br />
<br />
The presage of a rising star.<br />

Wherever we stay in this world the place always has it`s own beauty, but do we have time to behold? <i> </i>I often hear, lamenting over the clamour of Mumbai but I wonder, how many times we have gazed at the jay blue ocean turning to amber froth with hovering orange sky cradling the sun set? Might be only when some relatives visit and we are obliged to show them Juhu beach... No??<br />
Simply take a break...<br />

A day out at Sanjay Gandhi National Park-Borivali :-<br />

I saw a post on my G+ account by a friend where a girl falls hard while trying her luck on bicycle. It shot me back to the remembrance of childhood. Oh yes! I almost forgot there are paddles beside daily life`s clutch-break-accelerator which need your muscle power more than CC power.<br />
<br />
A total adrenalin experience:-<br />

Hired a bike planned to ride to Kanheri caves to behold the ``The Silence`` which tells many stories. Muscle pulled up hard, long time soft life taken a toll on the strength. Sweat streams down the temple strides through my shirt. I can make it, I whispered. Yes I can! The breeze is getting hot, the mulchy smell of the wood refills the lungs. A soft beep brings me down to the verisimilitude of existence of others. A car with foreigners. A beautiful golden hair semblance of Goldie Hawn smiled from the aperture `` Do you need a lift?`` My sun tanned coffee face appealed her. ``No Ma`am . Thanks! It`s really sweet of you. I am taxing my strength.`` I smiled back. She left wondering my pathological anomaly?? May be.</div>

Moniker unknown. Blue hue ignites the declivity, shilly shallying to enrapture the passer by? They dance their beauty, will you stop to behold? They quench the long lust thirst of bleak eyes. But what about the corporeal aqua thirst ? The body felt desiccating alive. Like the mycelium below.</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">A child is
unborn and killed; foeticide. Three girls ashamed of their gender wishing for a
musculine gender to be born next, all the time in the hope this craving
will distract their parents' eternal cribbing over the ill fate of having
them.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Another two

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Then
Rampageous Sign was born full of anger ,proud of the parents' massacre in the
longing to have him.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;"> Anger:
He has right to be wrathful over trifle unfulfillment. Right to have everything
he wants 'cause he is the everything the world wants. But parents have
pittance.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Right: Right
is his own right. Right to be right all the time. Brought up with the story of
his superiority ,the violence he has done in the way of his mother's
womb.The path was pepper with three bloodied unborn souls. The superiority
pervades his every cell.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Unbridled
anger: Why? Why parents invited him clearing everyone came in between ?? Now he
is having unfulfilled desire?? Injustice!</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Demon: The
crippled body appended with unfulfilled materialistic lust,uneducated
upbringing, pittance of the parents synthesised "The Demon".</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The final
kill: The crippled body can't kill the clutter of his slum so he needed to find
someone weak and alone. Find it , beat it, torture it in every possible way ,
destroy it in way beyond human imaginary capacity.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Demon,

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Caged Demon:
Happy with his creation, the final one, he has got what he wanted. To be happy
is his right. He thrives while describing his achievement. But what's wrong
with these people??</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Killing is his
right! He started killing long before he was born, everybody supported it, the
parents, doctors , the whole society.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="background-color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The final kill
worked as a catharsis to recuperate his balance . Everyone should be
aghast and worship him. He has right to get the congregation.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

police , they are beating me. Mom! They are beating me. They have unbridled
