The World we live in


breathe for a moment for all dats left
never know what the future might just bring
in this world full of murder, rape and theft
we try to believe but we are left falling

sons are lost and children are dead
for the good of the country all dats said
but it wont be forgotten and wont be forgiven 
for in the name of war mothers lost their children

lonely nights left cold and weak
hardly enough breath left to speak
not a morsel for days and hes in the streets
life for this kid is indeed very bleak 

we pray to god everytime we desire sumthn we need
what about those kids who cant find enough food to eat
tonight i'll pray for those who know what  has been
tonight i'll pray for a change in the world we live in..

I think, these days, people are too concerned and worried about their inner circle, that more often than not, they get confined to their self set limits. So that is where their thinking also ends, and their inner circle is all they care about and live for. Their life is all about, me and the things that affect me..


Its funny how, 2000 rupees looks inexpensive while buying a new pair of shoes, and 2 rupees is so valuable when it comes to giving to a beggar
Its funny how, people cry at the pain of their friends and family, and barely a look of sympathy to people whom they don't care about
Its funny how, food is wasted in your households, where half the world is dying of starvation
Its funny how, people bargain to save 50rupees to eat n drink junk, to eventually spend 5000 on medicines to bail them out of their health issues.
Its funny how, apparently 'old fashioned' clothes are thrown away in the dustbin or used as cleaning cloths, where children in the street have none to cover their body.


I want to live in a world where people are dancing and playing in the rain in unity, without any class, cultural, racial or social divide. 
I want to live in a world where people take the world as their home, and not just their apartment
I want to live in a world, where, there is equality, brotherhood & friendship
I want to live in a world, where there is no religion, no boundaries, no country
I want to live in a world. where there is love
I want to live in a world, where there is no God
I want to live in a world, where people see the 'God" within each other, and respect and fear that, and not any external source of power
I want to live in a world where people are happy!


I want to live in a world, where people are living as human beings and not some blood hungry hounds chasing money, power, post or whatever. I just want to live in a happy & content world. It maybe a just a dream, but this is what i wish for, and i will do my best to do my bit to change the world i live in at the moment. And i am not the only one, who is taking an oath like this, check out the following video, to see the effort of this insirational man, who wants to create a change in the society. And to him, I salute..! Sir, you are truly an inspiration and a  big motivation. 


So, i urge my readers, please look beyond your lives.. Expand your circle, Think big.. Don't categorize people are friends and 'others'.. Feel for everyone.. Wake up to social issues.. Don't just talk about the change you want to see, rather as Gandhiji said, Be the change you want to see.. And even the smallest of effort can take flight to provide a big impact..

Fall of the Last Dictator

Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, more commonly known as Muammar Gaddafi was killed in his hometown Sirte yesterday. Many of us may not think this to be a very big thing.. So what if this man died? So many people die everyday, why does this man's death a breaking news? For those of you, who think like this, just close your eyes for a minute and imagine the lives of people whom he has ruled for 42 long years... We all may be well versed by the phrase, "One life, why give others a chance to rule it..." well, the innocent people of Libya, had no other choice.. Gaddafi's death is the dawn every Libyan wanted to wake up to... And that finally happened.. The Last Arab Dictator finally fell...


Gaddafi's lust for weapons of mass destructions was known to the world and he kept gathering and improving his 'toys' from time to time.. However, he could not avoid the sand storm of revolution that swept through the Arab world. This sand storm saw the end of many dictators and their seemingly endless rule.. He should have know then itself that, his time has come! The merciless man that he was, opted for war and used deadly force against his own people who were revolting against him.. This forced foreign countries like the US and France to aid the rebels and plot the downfall of the Arab leader.. Gaddafi never showed mercy in his life, nor did he get any in his death.. He was dragged out of a drain and killed by the very Libyans he once scorned as 'rats'.



His rediness to take on western powers and Israel, through words and actions earned him a certain respect among some in other Arab states. For most of his 42 year rule, he held a prominent position in the World's gallery of international rouges, while at home, he maintained a vacuum tight control by micro managing every aspect by abolishing the constitution, eliminating dissidents and refusing to name a successor.


He took over Libya in a bloodless military coup in 1969, and ruled it ever since with an iron fist.. 20-10-2011 is Libya's new Independence day.. War is finally over. Now it is time to swap bullets for ballots.. Jockeying for power among Libya's well -armed and fractious new leadership after the death of the deceased autocrat Muammar Gaddafi, an anxious, and for many,joyous moments in a country hungry for stability and impatience to swap the bullet for the ballot box..


For almost a year of battle to overthrow dictatorship, and over 4 decades of a life lived without dignity, this country can finally heave a sigh of relief.. As the night of celebrations has passed, there is a screaming silence in the country, a silent cry for help from the world to repair, renovate and rebuild... And India, being one of the first to offer aid and assistance.. Not only India, but the World at large will definitely help this desert land to get back to its feet and ensure that the sun is out and shinning bright to mark the end of dark days for the Libyans and their homeland.. May God bless Libya....
