I have lost touch,when it comes to writing articles.I believe this is my first attempt after 4 years. I have a feeling that I might make a mess of it. Nevertheless, I’ll try. Expressing my point of view on several issues, in the written form, has become extremely difficult. I will speak out if I want. But,if you ask me to write it down:I am too lazy. Infact,I believe people have lost their patience , even when it comes to reading .If I did write an article, who really wants to read it? Reading enthusiasts are on a decline and I’d say even the writing ones are. Patience! Patience is a treasure, on the verge of extinction. Nobody is patient anymore. No one cares for the details. I had read somewhere that our patience limits have come down to 140 characters (Read: Twitter).So true! However,I can still recollect a time, not so long ago,when books were devoured by us.I doted on the Lord of the Rings, loved the Alchemist and even managed to complete the rather painstaking...

Hey, let me try this one. This is how the things begun. The basics of all, the ABC… How do I explain it to thee? Is this the way, things were meant to be? Or is it the way I want to see? ‘The beginning is long forgotten’ though, Just like the ABC… And when A met C or A met B Or AB met AC, it seemed like fun But followed mayhem, turmoil, unrest. ABC were left STUNNED. So, situations arise unexpectedly. And that’s the basics I m talking about They seem so simple and easy You can crack it without a doubt.(Really?) So stories are written, epics described But would anyone understand my plight? Cause what I do, I dunno if it is right. And life too gives no clue, Neither does ABC come to my rescue. And then they say Apply your basics well. I ask in which store such crap Do they sell? Cause this’ simple’ life Weaves this ‘simple’ yarn And entangles you so ‘simply’ And when nothing seems simple anymore, You suddenly wake up to see. Confused whether to ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ But NO! You cannot ‘...

What could be more enchanting, than a single tree? Hues of red, yellow, brown. Amidst the backdrop of an autumn sky, far away from the bustling town. Or a single rose, that said it all, That a bunch of flowers could not express? Or a single cloud on a spotless sky, Which brushed away a farmer's distress? Or a single thorn, that pinched you bad? The numbness, of thousands, you wouldn’t mind. Or a single beam, that breaks the darkness? Multitudes only made you blind! A single word, that makes your day, Or another that breaks your heart? A single road, that joins two homes, Or another that sets them apart? One koel, breaks the silence of forests. One daffodil, makes the hills smile. One gun, that spills blood. Or one needle,that could mend a mile? One sky,that binds us all? One sea,that encompasses me. One butterfly,in my yard. Because,I do not need many! And that single day,in the month of May. Or a single minute,of the rising sun. A single meteor,...
