You so have to hear this... i'm not really a fan of the Indian Railways but i seriously had no clue tht it was this bad... trains not being on time is a totally separate issue... this is worse. the employees r really ill mannered and rude. I got yelled at by one o them for standin at the door when the station was jus a min or two away... Seriously... i cud take the yellin for standing at the door but tht wasn't it... i jus asked the chap to be a lil polite n wht he said next completely shocked me... "tumhari aarti utaru kya???" tht jus did it... i'm not much for loosin my cool but hell if i was going to stand there n take crap from tht man. I'd be damned if i stood there n did nothing.. was in half a mind to slap him right across his face but then... Naah tht'd be lettin him off too easy... so i did what i have a right to.. I asked for the Complain book... n to my Surprise the TT very sweetly tells me he doesn't have one...(how convenient). if this wasn't enough he justified himself by sayin there rn't too many complains tht r written.... oh right!!! i totally believe the man... who wud want to be the cause of a poor man loosin his job rt? Call me whtever u want but i did what i thought was rt... u have some dude yelling at u... slamming the door in your face n then being rude ... u expect me to follow thegandiwadian principle of "if someone slaps u on one side o ur face... give him the other as well". i'm sorry i don't believe in tht.... if u tolerate something tht's wrong tht's as gud as committing it . the funny thing being after i had given a written complaint every bloody railway employee n especially the contractual employees wereextremely nice to me n those travellin with me... the guy who yelled at me didn't apologise so i wrote the complain ... now tht there wasn't a complain book i know tht the compliant i wrote was probably going no where.. whtever, i'll still take a chance on it. Well i jus wanted to write it down... jus so u know... I HATE BEING YELLED AT OR LOOSIN MY TEMPER ON STUPID THINGS most o the times... I'm seriously not sorry for wht i did though i have friens who think it wud have been better if i'd jus slapped the guy n gotten it over with, i happen to think otherwise

Every one needs one way or the other to express what he feels... no one can just keep his pain, his emotions burries under his heart forever... everyone has his own way... to express it.... same as yours of writing it down...
got time to go through your page after long time... but i did...
never ever think that does anyone ever reads ur writing... i know its not for that you write for...
don't think that the complaint you filed is gonna go in waste... it worked.. may be not for others... but for yourself... you expressed what you felt... you did what you could....

and ya... life is not always fair...to everyone... but it all depends how you take it... i am also trying...what other option we all are left with...

And you know what you are a real sweetheart.....

Being an Army Brat!

Walking down memory lane, looking at pictures from the past, I linger on to this one where my dad's in uniform. Somewhere in the east I think or was it up north. I wonder. The only thing I remember for sure is his reaction to every time I called from law school. "Is everything ok? It's not weekend already is it? " I'd smile a teary eyed smile and say "naah it's Tuesday and I just thought I'd say HI!" I bet he smiled. I could hear it in his voice.

Drunken conversations - A moment in time

Winters brought along thick cover of fog that had just started to roll in. Law school didn’t give her as many sleepless nights as the two boys in her life did.  It was  2:30 am  by her watch and the persistent beep of a call waiting made her take note of the name on the screen. ‘Damn!’ She thought to herself, it was probably the fourth time this month she’d have to tell her boy that she needed to take the other call and he was definitely going to be mad at her this time. It had to be done. She made her excuse and switched the line. “Hello!”she said a little anxiously, but before she could say anything else, the drunk voice from the other end shouted joyously “Baby, I got a job, I got placed”. And she smiled. He’d called up her other number an hour ago and said the same thing over and over again till her Mother replied...”Congratulations! She’s in college son.” He then spent the next ten minutes apologising for calling in the middle of the night. But did it stop ...

Reflections!

She took a moment to stop fidgeting and looked at the reflection.  What she saw amazed her and yet she found it hard to recognize.  The childlike smile and kind eyes that stared back at her quizzically. What had changed? Why was there emptiness where once there was pure joy?   She smiled a wary smile, looked deeper into those eyes that were once kind. Only to find a shallow pool of tears welling inside. And as she turned around to leave she heard a faint voice.  A gentle voice that said “let go”. “Let go and come back to being the girl you were always meant to be and not the empty shell I see in front of me now.”
