sending ..... sending ..... sending .....sending failed. unable  to send . Notice :" Dear customer, you have sent 5 SMS today.As per instructions  from the Government Regulatory ,only 5 SMS can be sent per day ". Now all of us " tech-savvy " people or in simple words the mobile addicts  already experienced this situation in just a day's matter and it took this extreme step by the government to curb a situation which was well in their hands and a step so extreme for even the rather un-interested and ignorant public to sit up and take a  look at the matter carefully !! Till a few days back ,calling the North Eastern fellow Indians as "Chinks" or "Minks" and believing them to be of China,Japan , Korea or any other nation except India was the biggest badgering done to them ,but the recent violence which crossed its borders to even physical violence ,that too done to them in their own homeland is an event which will go down in the

I ,as many of you others ,grew up watching the advertisements of vicco turmeric ayurvedic cream and ponds beauty cream which mainly served their purpose as moisturising creams  . I always knew that ours was a racist country but more than that a hypocritical nation . I call it hypocritical because ours is a nation which accuses other countries of being racist ,of harassing people belonging to darker shade of colour but back home what we witness is not the model "melting pot " nation which Nehru dreamed of but just  a nation busy in planning the marketting and sales of its various fairness products !!

Has it ever happened to you ? That suddenly you realize that the world you were living in was a fake one, the people surrounding you ,the promises made, the consoling, the relations you made spending so much time on it ,the happiness you thought you had  finally achieved . In short , Everything ,and how much ever you pinch yourself or slap yourself, it doesnt change, thereby confirming that it isn't any of your usual nightmares either . So there you are totally wounded and bruised from the latest punch on your emotion and you just sit back alone trying to wonder how or why  you let someone affect you so much ? Why you readily became the emotional fool when you so well knew of the future outcomes !! Why you force yourself to believe that even grey is white enough in your life filled with melancholy black . Why you sober up to someone's sugar talks and ignore your mind's burgeoning warnings that everybody warms up to you only for a reason and none will last even for a se
