God take away my intelligence



Give me back those times when
There were things I did and didn’t
Stay in the sun and climb a tree
Have enough money for peppermint

Give me back those times when
Feelings didn’t have words or voice
Laughter couldn’t contain happiness
Weeping was just another noise

Give me back those times when
We could hold hands for hours set
Never once did we ask
Why the girls’ hands were always wet

Give me back those times when
I could do things because I didn’t think
If this felt wrong or right
My decisions in eyes’ blink

Not once did I know
I wont have these when I grow
The tide of age will bury me deep
And my innocence will go to sleep

Never knew the stages of love
Holding her doesn’t mean u can kiss her now
You are afraid that she might know
She is scared, you might leave and go

All these years that I have grown
I’ve left behind parts of my own
All of that now makes so much sense
Intelligence is a loss of innocence

Why Chelsea?

I’ve often held this grouse against Liverpool and Manchester United’s fans that when you tend to have a discussion with them they bring out the reference of the “glory” days of the clubs. Man U in some respects have continued their supremacy owing to the twin factors of a tenacious manager and some poor performances of their rivals. But Liverpool as long as I have followed the league have been very patchy. They throw in some brilliant unstoppable performances some times and play utterly clueless football at other times. There is no denying the glorious history of the club. They have been the club with the most number of premier league titles and a history that’s etched in stone and full of achievements. If anybody does begin giving me a lesson on the history of football where the club that I follow features very little in, one would still find an ardent listener in me, because ‘we love this game'. But to all those people who have followed the glory days of Arsenal and Liverpool,...

My Plea

Dear terrorist, I am a very harmless guy who works in a Company that has its HQ in the UK (not the US). I am a hindu by birth and believe me I had no control over that. Had I known what future had in store for me I would have definitely requested God to send me to a ‘religionless’ home. If you are wondering what I mean by that, then it means I would have requested God to have me born as a tribal in a remote place in Amazon or somewhere in Greenland. Trust me I still have your good interests in my mind. I won’t be a part of any prospering country or a citizen of the country owing much to its history and diversity exercises some amount of tolerance to these activities. Since the innocence in my birth is settled, I would like to clarify another very important aspect. I admire your religion very much. I totally believe in all that is said in the Quran and am ready to agree that it is the greatest religion ever. I am not sure you want people converted into that religion. Because when you...

Where's the money, honey?

Not much has been going in India apart from demonetization recently. Suddenly people are intrinsically rich but actually poor. The amount of money in circulation has gone down significantly and the bank coffers have gone up by INR 5.5 lakh crores. This was primarily touted as an attack on black money but now it has slowly started disrupting everyday lives of people. http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/RNdxOHenVluYuLx4iCw4JO/Modis-new-strike-against-black-money-backfires.html  This gives an idea of the people affected the worst. They have produce which is not durable and they don’t have people to sell their produce to. People do not have money in hand to buy vegetables and one cannot swipe at a local market. The salaried class who are primarily reliant organized trade for their daily consumption are facing the least disruption. The majority are reeling under cashlessness. Some of the most affected people are 1.        Vegetable vendors in local mark...
