CATHARSIS

I confess that I don’t have anything to confess. I am a movie lover and most of my lines are stolen from movies. I don’t know what kind of testimony people want me to write; I am not a religious person. Maybe I haven't been enlightened yet, I believe in almighty but I cannot go on preaching religion. I want to serve the people but it has to be on my terms. Why does one have to prove his faith to anyone? Why is there a need to be spiritual to get into the life of providing community service?

Humanity and religion are two very different things. I am not questioning the existence of God; however I do have a problem when it becomes a criterion of selection. I was told that ‘you just need to have the will to join this profession’ and I completely agree with it. Nevertheless, if all you need is will and determination to get anywhere then why it is necessary to submit a testimony which speaks about your encounter with the divine.

Anyways, this is really frustrating because I don’t want concoct a story about my enlightenment. Having said that I also don’t want to lose this opportunity, this is a great chance for me to be somewhere and make something of myself. Yes, it’s a bit selfish of me to join such a profession without that agenda but I am hoping to find the cause in the journey itself.

I don’t know what life holds for me in future but I certainly don’t want to look back with regret. Prior to this, I have made decisions that haven’t yielded the exact results I was hoping for but it sure has taught me a thing or two about it. Chances don’t come easy and you should grab it with both hands when it is passing by.

This is gibberish I know but i had to take it out.

A writer, according to my ID card

I thought studying journalism would make me an accomplished writer. I also thought life would become easier once I got a job. In my defence, I had not yet had a job. After a nine-month course, I joined an organisation that shall remain unnamed. I spent six months as an intern, a period that mostly involved getting my backside kicked, before becoming a permanent employee. According to my ID card, I am a scriptwriter. The accomplished part is taking longer. Somewhere between joining the office and becoming permanent, my days began to look suspiciously alike. I go to work, come home tired and think about doing something interesting. By then, a nap feels more appealing than anything I had in mind. I want to write something of my own. But when I sit down to choose a subject, everything either seems uninteresting or too much effort. This is an awkward position for someone who thought writing would be the great pleasure of his life. There are plenty of things I don’t want to do. Going to the...

Interaction with the divine

My father has always been a man of faith. Prayer is a part of his daily life, and he takes an active role in church activities. Growing up in a Christian household, I saw how much his belief meant to him. I did not share the same certainty. After graduation, I moved to Delhi to study journalism and later began working. Away from home, I had more room to decide what faith meant to me. I was not a regular churchgoer. I believed God could be found anywhere, and I did not feel the need to prove my belief to anyone. Yet I often found myself praying when I was in trouble. That made me question my own relationship with God. Why did I turn to Him most readily when I needed help? Was it faith, fear or simply the comfort of feeling that someone was listening? I did not have a clear answer, but I could not dismiss what prayer meant to me. There is something comforting about sharing your deepest fears and secrets with someone you cannot see. Saying those things in prayer sometimes helped me under...

BJP'S CHANAKYA - AMIT SHAH

A true admirer of Chanakya's tactics, BJP's general secretary Amit Shah has now established himself a prominent player in the saffron party politics. Under his supervision, BJP won with an overwhelming majority in Uttar Pradesh, bagging 71 seats in the state, leaving other major players biting the dust.   The victory in UP was nothing short of a miracle. The state’s politics driven by caste was mostly dominated by regional outfits - Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP). Therefore, ousting these two political heavyweights in their own game deserves commendation. Shah’s grasp in ground level politics and his relentless work in the remote areas of the state swung votes in BJP’s favour. He made most out of Narendra Modi’s wave and ensured that people gave his party a chance to bring change in the state.   From being a state-level leader, Shah has now emerged as the second most important man in the BJP. He calls the shots in current scheme of thing. Ruthles...
