Now is the Time...



“Aaj ki taaja khabar, Logon ne bhari tadaat mein line lagayi hain. Sab log jald se jald chadhna chahte hain taki seat mil sake. Elite logon ke pehlesehi booking karne ki wajah se unhone seat belt tak bandh li hain. Ek taraf military ke logon ne bheed ko control karne ke liye tear gas phenkna shuru kiya hain aur ek taraf weighing machine ke takniki kharabi se line aage nahi sarak paa rahi hain.” said the newsman and the news went on repeating.

Finishing the coffee I made my way to my bedroom where I started putting stuff in suitcases.

“Mom, can we take the Cooler too?” I asked.

“Reva, you know that they will take extra charges for that.”  replied my mom.

“Uff Mom, at this time too you are thinking of the extra charges.” I replied irritatingly.

“Reva, already we have paid a lot for the travelling expenses. Take what you require for daily use and pack my stuff too as I am busy making chappatis.” 

“But mom, no food is allowed, the news is flashing. Also those who tried to carry food were made to eat there itself before letting them enter inside.” I laughed and told my mom.

 “Don’t worry your Dad knows one of the security person. He will let us in without checking.” said my mom.

We packed our suitcases, prayed to god that our journey goes well and took what all required and locked our house. Nihar my younger brother had packed more suitcases than me. Today’s generation boys you know, they visit the saloon more than we visit the beauty parlour. From last one and half hour all he did was go for a makeover in the saloon as if he is going for some match making session. Me, as usual, tired after packing bags, just tied my hair up like a messy bun, wore earrings and a watch (to ward off evil eyes as mom says) and I am good to go. Ah! And last but not the least my favorite pair of sneakers, I don’t know if they ever will be manufactured where we were going.

Mom as usual took all bags containing eateries. You know our mom’s they themselves won’t carry their required stuff but they make sure that they will carry all the things required for their children and priority is the Food. Love all Mom’s !!! Dad as always counted the suitcases, locked the house properly and checked the wallet for money. The most ignored person in the family, Dad. They are the securer of the family; they have to be tough to make the family tough. Love all Dad’s too!!!

Ah! already in line now waiting to get inside and find a seat or else will have to go in the general section where there will be everyone floating in zero gravity, difference is only that seatbelt won’t be required, as it will be packed so there’s no fear of hurting oneself.

Yes! Zero gravity!, Did you get it? Nope! You haven’t. Well! we all are boarding a spaceship and do you know where we all are heading? Well! we are heading for the planet “MARS”. As late scientist “Stephen Hawking” already wanted humanity to leave planet Earth as soon as possible. It seemed now was the time that all the continent’s governments made a decision to leave Earth.

After almost three to four hours in line we finally got to enter the spaceship, till then all the eateries were finished munching while standing in the line. The satisfied look on the mom’s face was clearly seen, after all, her children are well fed now.

At the entrance our documents were taken, Nihar, as usual, due to excessive saloon makeover, was questioned by the checking officers to confirm his identity, as the Adhaar Card photo did not matched. After the checking session, we were let inside to find seats. We sat and tied our seatbelts. After some minutes the spaceship got full.

“Booiiiiiinnnnnng!! Testing, testing, mike testing, Yatri krupaya dhyan de” and the announcement begun. It was first in English then in Hindi and then in Sign language.

“Yatri krupayaan apne seatbelts baandh le aur seat ke niche chipkaye huein booklet ko acchi taraah se padh le.” The announcement went on instructing on how to use the bathroom and the oxygen mask and so on.

It’s human nature not to listen what is required and hence no one bothered to look at the attached booklet. I, out of curiosity, checked the booklet below my seat and started reading. It was titled “Life on Mars”. It had many pages in it. I read the list to my family; it was as follows:-

“Mars has scorching hot days and chilling cold nights, so you have to protect yourself according to the climate.” Dad interrupted asking mom if all the sweaters and Kashmiri shawls are taken.I continued.

“As Mars has thin atmosphere, sun rays will directly enter the martian surface hence you all will have to remain confined to your UV protective houses.” Nihar interrupted “that’s stupid, I won’t sit in the house whole day. I have to join gym and buy new gym clothes and protein shake.” I continued further.

“As there is no liquid water on Mars, water will be formed by melting the Mars polar ice hence water will be charged and will be in limited quantity.”

“As there is limited oxygen on Mars, one will get oxygen cylinders as per your adhaar cards and that too will be in limited amount.” An old lady sitting next to us interrupted saying “I told my daughter- in- law to take our gas cylinders, so I think we can use those, in case we fall short.” We all stared at her and to avoid any calamity Nihar explained her that both the cylinders are different and I continued reading.

“Due to limited water, direct sun rays and chilling night’s only potatoes will be grown and hence one will get only potato as food and it will be charged too.” Mom started searching recipes on her mobile by typing “100 recipes aaloo ke”. I continued.

“One will get either water or food for a day, not both, and if you still want both, you will have to sacrifice oxygen cylinder.”

“There is no air on mars but you will experience storms every now and then.”

“There is no soil on mars but there is sand everywhere, so you will not get to experience the smell of the wet soil when it rains and also you won’t get to see the greenery. Birds and animals won’t survive in the martian environment hence you won’t get to see them anymore too.”

“There is very less gravitational force on Mars, hence you won’t longer be able to run or walk without effort.”

Mars being approximately half the diameter of Earth, it will remain crowded.”

“One can get an Alien as a neighbor as there were sightings of UFO’s.” I recalled the “Alien vs Predator movie. I continued further.

 “You won’t get to see our Moon anymore as Mars has its own moons and hence you will have to stop making romantic songs using moon, as the mars moon are not visually appealing.”

Before continuing further I started rethinking on the importance of my planet EARTH but it was too late now. The earth was already exploited by all human beings and hence the decision to go on Mars was made. I heard an alarm “tring, tring, tring” and it was continuously ringing as if something happened to the spaceship, I panicked and tried to get out of my seat, I was trying but I was stuck on my seat. I couldn’t release myself and started calling for help and my eyes opened, I was sweating.

I found myself in my bedroom on my bed, I looked outside and it was the sun shining, the birds chirping and the wind blowing. I was on Earth and was not in a spaceship going to Mars. “Thank God! It was a nightmare.” I said. I realised that Now is not the time to leave EARTH and go to MARS but to make EARTH a better place to live in so that we don’t have to go to Mars or any other planet.

Short story on the theme "what I want for every child".

       Fiddling with the table cloth he temptingly looked at the Samosas been kept for sale in the hotel. But the plates cluttered and his attention diverted to his boss who looked at him as if he commited crime.
       After cleaning the table where a family sat to eat, he saw one of the small member of the family, with his eager eyes, reading a book, he wondered what was in it.
        It was time to go home and the atmosphere was chilling. He shivered and crossed his hands tightly covering the torn parts of his clothes.
        It was quiet outside on streets and he wandered in search of a safe and warm place to spend the night.
          Next morning he woke up with hope that he will spend the day better today.

           I want for every child basic necessities like food, clothing, shelter and education and also the end of child labour

Girl at 6:30

                          




A Girl with a Handbag watching the Mother Earth with her eyes
Goes to work in the Morning and comes in the night  
Her Head held high having a Sad Smile on her Lips though sometimes
She walks Swiftly and boldly as you see
She walks as if no one can see what lies deep within her mind 
She takes small steps as she makes her way 
through all the peeping Eyes
She tries to be Simple and Sober to all the Gossipers 
but deep within her lies an Aggressive cry.
Hoping that one day she will Fulfill her Desires and make her heart so happy to get a Big Smile.




Yes friends!!! she is a Small Town Girl with a Handbag she caries while going to Work. She has all that she wanted to achieve professionally but mentally she was waiting to achieve that thing which she hoped that she will achieve and that was Peace of Mind. She doesn't seemed to be Happy till Yesterday. She seemed Normal as she was everyday and walked with no expressions on her face. She used to walk such that no one will hear her footsteps. She used to come and go so quietly as if she was walking through a Jungle of Wild Animals. She now seemed very very Happy such that a Beautiful Curve was seen on her Face :). Her eyes shined as if her dreams came true or she achieved something which she was waiting for. But nonetheless she started looking vibrant from that day onward, she seem a chirping bird now and she seemed glowing as if she was the bright moon on a dark night...... :) :) :).

"TRUSTWORTHY !!!!!!"

             







                    Wooo so many Goosebumps while writing this post on "TRUSTWORTHY", dunno why? Maybe i have tried to trust but failed, or maybe i had kept many conditions to check the Truthfulness of a person. This is just haunting me night and day .... i mean isn't there anyone who is quite Trusty enough that i don't lose hope of finding Trust in People. This TRUST thing not only haunts me but all others who expect someone to be trustful  to them. Be it the MOTHER who TRUSTS her children that they wont do anything which will put her to shame or the FATHER who TRUSTS his daughter that she won't run away with some Loser or his SON that he won't betray them when he gets Married. Be it the BRIDE who TRUSTS her GROOM that he  will be TRUTHful to her. Be it the Lover who shows TRUTH to his companion before Marriage assuring that he will be with her till the End.
                 Many Realtionships FAIL due to Lack of TRUST. Is demanding TRUTH or expecting it from someone is wrong? Will continue this Later till then lets hope that i find someone worthy of TRUTHfullness ..... :)

Being an Eye for Someone........ :)




             Wow being an EYE for someone hhhmmm quite nice na it gives the feeling that your EYE or EYES are used by someone. I mean it feels great for sure. Still you all must not be getting, it's about being a WRITER for a BLIND FRIEND. Sometimes i close my eyes and try to feel nature and environment, but even if i feel them i couldn't see the beautiful colors and the brightness which provides us great peace and happiness. God has really given us this BEAUTIFUL gift of SIGHT and one should really care for it and bring it to use when you don't need it.
            It was the first time that i was WRITING for someone really Special Friend. The Excitement of helping someone in need really drives me to be happy all day. I woke up early as his paper was at 7:30 AM. Ya waking up and leaving the house early for someone is really difficult for Girls in India. As they have household work to do in the morning so as to help Mothers. It was difficult for me too as there wasn't any lecture at 7:30, but my MOM said to go and help the Friend in need. She said she will do all the work by herself as she was proud that her DAUGHTER was going to do something for the person in need. I really LOVE my MOM she really understands me and the people who need me. 
            I reached college on time and wrote the paper for my Special Friend. He was really very sweet and calm person. He was giving answers as if none of the questions were difficult to answer. I wondered how he was so sharp in remembering detailed answers with ease and in confidence. I thought that even if i could see i sometimes not confident about my answers and also sometimes forgot to recollect it even if i have seen the answers with my EYES. The paper ended and i was the one more curious to know the results. The results were out and he passed with FIRST CLASS, it felt as if i succeeded in my exams. 
           Then i decided to "DONATE MY EYES" as i thought that after my death my body will burn into ashes and hence my eyes will be of no use so why not donate them so that when i will finish using them someone in need will be able to use them when i will be not needing them. In this way he or she will experience and see this beautiful creation of GOD and will really thank me for the EYES. In this way i will live for ever through my EYES even if i won't be present physically.
            Hence i recommend you my FRIENDS,

                                            "DONATE EYES" 

 :) :)
