श्याम पिया मोरी रंग दे चुनरिया । ऐसी रंग दे, के रंग नहीं छुटे ।धोभिया धोये चाहे सारी उमरिया ॥ लाल ना रंगाऊं मैं, हरी ना रंगाऊ ।अपने ही रंग में रंग दे चुनरिया ॥ बिना रंगाये मैं तो घर नाही जाउंगी ।बीत ही जाए चाहे सारी उमरिया ॥ मीरा के प्रभु गिरिधर नागर ।प्रभु …
It’s been around two years since I started writing everyday. I know for sure it crossed the two year mark this month, but when? That I don’t know since I didn’t make a note of when I started. More on that later. In these two years, I’ve written every single day, and completed multiple series …

But eating is inevitable, because the only other option is bringing that eventuality very close, very fast. And while “heaven” is a great place from …
What is free speech? Is speech free, as long as you say what I think is right? Should the “bad” be allowed to speak at all, or is free speech only for the “good”? Who decides who is bad, and who is good? Does the coin not have two faces? Is it right to take …
चलने ही चलने में कितना जीवन, हाय, बिता डाला!‘दूर अभी है’, पर, कहता है हर पथ बतलानेवाला,हिम्मत है न बढूँ आगे को साहस है न फिरुँ पीछे,किंकर्तव्यविमूढ़ मुझे कर दूर खड़ी है मधुशाला।।७। Chalne hi chalne me kitna jeevan, haaye, bita dala‘Door abhi hai’, par, kehta hai har path batlanewalaHimmat hai na badhu aage ko …
Ok. My apologies. No Bachchan today. Try Venjaramoodu instead. For those unfamiliar with this tongue-twister of a name, you should see more Malayalam cinema. Suraj is his first name, and much like the rising sun, Venjaramoodu shines throughout all the movies that he stars in – subtle, understated, yet an essential ingredient without which the …
