Wired Survival

Lets log out, lets shut down
Common, now don’t wear that frown
Lets switch-off, lets go offline
Don’t worry life will still be fine

Internet is not a home,
Chat rooms are not real rooms
Facebook is not your bed
You can’t tweet once your dead

iPad is not a royal palace
iTunes is not real music
Art is not photoshop
You no more buy from a real shop

Battery is not your life
Apps are not your relatives
Temple run is not a real run
After some time its no more fun

Friend requests wont get you friends
Re-tweets won’t make them your fan
You make a big fuss about
not having Wi-Fi  but just 1MBPS LAN

Profile pic. Oh that’s not really you
Wall post! Again you copied it from somewhere new
Hangouts, now they have a new meaning
Ah! Google is now beaming

Emoticons are not emotions
Porn is not really sex
Stumbling is not a hobby
Life is not just timeline

Like, Comment and Share
That’s what now you really care
Cell phones are now super smart
Yes we know you brought it from flipkart

Traffic cones are not VLC media player
Your are lonely even though you play multi player
JAR is just a file
And this has been since a while

Email ID is now your identity
Passwords are your biggest secrets
Wallpaper is the only thing you change
You prefer staying within Wi-Fi range

Birds are not always angry
Candies are not always crushed
Atlas has now really shrugged
Google maps is what you have hugged

Google has shaped this civilization
Software has curbed the imagination
We are dwelling without any realization
Cataclysm is in its instantiation

Words of wisdom have been spoken
So you can log in and restart
If that brings happiness to your heart
I have tried my best to awaken.

A mist covered destiny

A mist-covered destiny ~ A speech by Satish R Inamdar Sixty-ninth Independence Day is here; the tricolors are in full bloom, a sudden rush of patriotism seems to arise in the heart of every common Indian. I am certainly not against this new feeling that sweeps over us for one day like a cyclone that raises alarm of impending destruction but changes its course just in time to avoid it all. Because, for all certainty I know 16 th august, the very next day will be just like other 364 days of the year and every memory and feeling on the day before it would vanish in a puff of smoke as we get busy in our livelihood. This year, the Independence Day happens to be on a weekend and I feel for the masses, who have been denied of an opportunity for a national holiday. Before we begin, lets do a reality check: “Tiranga” or “Tricolors” as we usually refer to our national flag has actually four colors not three. Everyone seems to ignore the navy blue wheel in the center of it. It is...

The Gambler's Night

The dictionary defines gambler as a person who is willing to take the risk in hope of a desired result. A risk-taker is a gambler. A gambler doesn't necessarily meet success every time. Loss is always expected; the undesired result. It was sometime during the month of May, summer vacations were on but Sainik school had called back its pupils for early onset of classes. The campus was empty except for the final year batch. The city of Bijapur bathed in the intense heat of blazing sun. The air near the surface of earth was so hot that it often resulted in mirages on the black velvety asphalt road. The days were hot; the nights brought relief with occasional rains and cool breeze. It was not an ordinary night. It was raining hard and fast and it made a rhythmic sound as it splashed on the window panes. Mike and Saty were in no mood to study, they were sitting near the window and discussing about the smallest route that they could take in this rain to reach Reshma’...

THE CITY

The City The feelings of pleasure and lust Places devoid of dust The city and its nights Always filled with sparkling lights Extravaganza is the theme here always Clubs populated by lesbians and gays People have lost the sense of shame Letting dignity fall, for few days of fame The life here changes like trends in fashion It’s like music played without passion Blindly following an unknown leader Reactionless being nothing more than a reader Money and fame are the ultimate powers Beauty here is brought by artificial flowers   The mock of nature makes this place stink To lower levels humanity sinks You should know when people smile Behind it, the concealed intents are vile The flowers and the gifts that they send Shouldn’t make you to treat them as your friend Even with shining lights this place seems dark Life seems a twisted tale even though it’s just stark The exuberance and the aura feel hollow In this faint light, which...
