Brotherhood and Rivalry

-
   Last Sunday we all witnessed India's excruciating loss to arch rivals Pakistan in the Champions trophy held in England - the very country that ruled the two warring nations for almost 150 years. Post Pakistan's victory some people in India celebrated and were soon arrested. An immediate and reflex question occurred to me was what was their crime? Is celebrating a victory of another country their crime? I beg to differ. Then people should also get arrested for supporting and cheering and celebrating victories of European countries in football where India haven't even qualified. A popular commentator made a comment that India is the father and Pakistan is it's son then immediately one person commented to check their birthdays. I rofl'd because it's true Pakistan got it's independence on the 14th of August​ 1947 while India's Independence is a day later.
        I don't get this bitterness towards them. I can only compare this bitterness to two brothers who were torn apart by unforeseen circumstances and are now awaiting for reunion. Very optimistic of me and filmy though.
   I don't believe in caste and religion. Neither I follow any religious practices. I treat everyone as equals and I never ask anyone their caste or religion.
   The Muslims in our country are looked down upon, humiliated by the greater sections of society. I remember people pelting stones at their houses and causing riots for some incident happened far away.
    Any man isn't bad, circumstances and influences make him do things. Similarly men of a particular religion aren't bad. Don't we remember the Missile man of India A.P.J Abdul Kalam. He was also a Muslim. No religion teaches misdemeanor, conflict, war. It's people like you and me who breathe war, irrespective of caste, colour or race. So we must stop disrespecting people based upon this.
    Tomorrow is Eid. The holy month of Ramzan coming to a closure. I have very fond memories of this festival celebrating with one of my friend and savouring the delicacies at his home. Here's wishing everyone Eid Mubarak.

An unusual Republic Day

-
    26th January 1950 - Republic Day - the day on which Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar - the architect of the Indian Constitution handed it over to the then president of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad. This day marks the 'change' in the way the government in our country functions. For nearly 2 and a half years after independence the government was still following the structure and the procedures presided by the British government but this day was that 'change.' Today, on this day, the President of India hoists the national flag at Rajpath in New Delhi and is sung along with the national anthem, followed by the parades, cultural programs and also giving away of the prestigious Padma awards. Likewise in schools, colleges, societies also this day is celebrated and the flag is unfurled.     For some including me this day is nothing more than national holiday, a DP change on WhatsApp or a post update on Facebook or a pic in white kurta on Instagram indicates my patriotism for the natio

Love You Zindagi

-
   Hello guys, I'm Gaurav. I'm a total filmbu ff and love to listen all kinds of songs be it Rock, pop, jazz, hardcore romance or simply Bollywood. So here's My Pla ylist but with a lot more things. Each song that I listen to or keep humming has an anecdote - a memory, a story, which I would like to share with all you guys. Well, my language will be simple as is of a 20 year old one who is on the verge of turning 21. So, no preachings here but yes being into teaching gives me that edge.     The first song that is not just in my playlist but must be in all of yours is Love you Zi ndagi from Dear Zindagi . I kept on listening to this song in a loop before the release of the film and after watching this slice of life film I'm in awe of it. It has a really refreshing take on life and also talks about mental health and illness that we have due to our suffocated lives and kudos to Alia Bhatt - she's the best actress of this new generation and has given a beautifully n

Unconditional Love

-
   It's 10 in the evening, I'm chilling out with my friends and my phone rings. Even before I slide my hand into my pocket and take out my mobile phone, I know it's who. It's my mom calling because it's her daily routine. She might forget to watch her daily soaps but she will always remember to check on me, whether I'm in college or wandering with my pals. Her questions are fixed. Where are you? With whom? When are you returning home? Have you had something to eat? and there are endless of these questions to which I only answer in yes or no. And God forbid you tell her I'm coming at 'x' time then the whole menu card of dishes is repeated in that call and if I don't come at that exact time I said to her, she will call me a minute later and ask where I was. To which I always reply chill mom I'm on my way. She doesn't have food until I'm back so we can together dine. Sometimes I get angry at her, sometimes it embarrasses me but when I lo
