Distances

Distances grow.
You don't know how, or when, but they do.
You want something , in search of which you become so mad that you forget the rest , all that becomes your concern is the treasure that you want, you become a zombie.
But when you have found the treasure, in the return journey, you find yourself so alone , so lonely.
You know that you can reach out to your people , all you have to do is easily possible , but you don't.
You know you can steer the ship hard.....but you don't.
You feel like you have run out of steam.
You know that the horizon is near , you can see it , but you don't want to go any further.

You are the marine of the poem "the rime of the ancient mariner".
You kill the albatross with your very hands.
The albatross which had been your friend.
You repent for it.
And you suffer.

You know that you can repent....but you don't know.
Am I spreading the word?
Have i become the mariner?







PS: I know its cluttered and not clear......but i can't stop thinking.

And that's why they are gone

Ever wondered where have all the family planning ads that were aired on DD vanished?
Where have the autos with bold -"Hum Do Hamaare Do" gone?

For the past 1 and a half years I have been living in a village called Allahabad where from my point of view people wont mind having an intra family cricket match. But even here i cannot see none of these ads.

Well it all happened in the economics class. The point of India's manpower becoming an asset rather than a liability has lead to India's emergence as not only a political power but economic power as well. The teacher was babbling something about India now graduating from developing to a developed economy.She also but said that as we move forward we would be loosing our momentum.
Cheaper labor from other countries would outsource us.
In a few years to come we will have more jobs than labour.

And then was it that I announced in the class to have found out the real reason.....where they have gone.
The BBC (backbenchers) were caught by attention.
NO FAMILY PLANNING....I announced......NO....and they were shocked.....i like giving them some surprises......but they had not expected such in front of a teacher.

The teacher smirked...but she took me seriously for she was explaining people that i had foretold the future.....[:)]....she was saying that it will be true.
She said that some working couples not wanting children is a pointer.
Years to come and India will suffer only because it didn't have adequate population.

So people of India do I hereby request you to pledge your services to this country of yours...for which your forefathers had paid in blood.....and for the prosperity of which it is your duty to HAVE AT LEAST a cricket or a football or a hockey team(if you are overwhelmingly patriotic)....
but not a basketball one(remember to be patriotic).

I think the Allahabadi effect is catching on!!!














But then why are the contraciptives ad still there on DD???
