i planned on posting DOLL's HOUSE but a series of revelations while coming back from the customs office in DALHOUSIE
,made me change my plans.
DOLL's HOUSE can wait.

my last post deals with FREEDOM,or wht i feel the word SHOULD NOT mean.
i attribute the negative nature of the last post both to my inborn pessimism and my lack of
knowledge,depth and insight of wht the word FREEDOM should idealy mean.

i really dont blame myself ,i mean lets face it....
the sensex has crossed 20000
our economy is on class C stimulants
JOHN n BIPS r together
MODI is safe n sound and on his way to becomin d CM of GUJRAT for another term
MAMATA BANERJEE still has no clue wht she wants.
im a TATTOO artist.
and INDIA has been touted as the next superrrrrrr POWER.

There is no great depression
no wars [NANDIGRAM is a little ,tiny n winy isolated issue]
J & K havnt heard the sounds of mortar for quite some time now
no threats of ALIEN INVASION [the scientists claim wht we saw ws an optical illusion]

SO ,in short there are no threats to our apparent FREEDOM.
and there hasnt been any for a long long time...
so how can i expect mysElf to understand what this word means ,huh???



and then i saw HIM

the THIRD kind.
The kind who smiled before they died [RDB hangover]


KHUDIRAM BOSE (1889-1908) was a Bengali Indian freedom fighter, one of the youngest revolutionaries early in the Indian independence movement

Im very bad with roads and wemen,it must be STRAND ROAD, opposite to the EDEN GARDENS [for sure].
HIS statue.
one look at HIM and u would kno he died a proud man/boy.
a boy with a mans heart OR a man in a boys body.
not important.
whts important is the way he was standing
with arms tied behind [juz like it must have been right before he ws hanged]
with HIS head looking straight ahead [a young visionary probably forecasting a rebellion]
HIS vision .... BOLD,UNAFRAID AND PROUD.

and all of 19yrs whn he died...
sacrificed [should be a better choice of words]his life for a cause
a cause which is as noble as it gets
a belief which had,has and will inspire millions,billions.

im 22 n i still dont know wht FREEDOM means.

while coming back i saw 2 more visionaries
2 rebels
both very different from each other
but both unique , both MEN.

YES im aware we all are extremely well educated INDIVIDUALS [i dunno wht this word means too] and we all had our share of obese
history manuals.and we all hated em.
but do we actually spare a thought bout exactly how great ,how selfless these INDIVIDUALS were??
do we respect their sacrifices??
their lives which they had laid down like bricks on a road so tht WE could tread on them and reach our destinations,our mutual destinations??

THEY are the cornerstones of our country
the pillars of morales tht support this great nation

the INDIVIDUALS who sought FREEDOM.
look into their eyes once in ur life when u have time n u wudnt see fear...u wud see their skulpted eyes shining with a
rare kind of modest pride which only they can give out.
