Dreams and Glory

My dreams aren't irrational; in fact they are simple needs. Needs that are the basics of survival with self respect. Preservation of identity is essential; or the identity shall be imposed by something different or modified to a new entity. Who shall be responsible then? The one who imposed or the one who let him impose? Who would judge the guilty? Would there be a beautiful unbiased judgement or a decorated biased rule? Would there be any benefit of digging out the guilty? What had been developed by a culture from nature would turn to be a beautiful readings in the passage of history. Who will bell the cat? Who shall raise the call? Would his call be treated as a concern or he may be decorated into someone not so favored by the society? For he, who would stand death mustn't be a matter of any concern. He must aim the glory of triumph.

Questions are innumerable; philosophies even more. Not standing for what seems to be our identity is an unforgivable crime. The long dark nights of patience and perseverance shall show the rays of dawn one day. Hope shall keep the fire alive. The hope to win; or the need to survive. The night is long, his eyes are tired, the wounds are fresh but the heart still wants peace. The dream shall be established. The restless swords shall wait in their scabbard whilst the pen shall celebrate his glory.

Trust - Madhav's Strength

I have grown with Bollywood and this movie has been my all time favorite. Its been 17 years and I still can relate to it starting from those college bunks, fights and getting suspended from attending classes.

What if Madhav, who is one of the protagonist of the movie would have been a 2018 guy instead of a 2001 guy and he would have ditched Reena just because she chose to go around with Rajeev as he was the one who was chosen to be with her by their parents. Madhav and his friends weren't one of those who did let any misinterpretation build just because she didn't talk for a few days and was angry upon them. Madhav represented a quintessential boy who build his trust in Reena only through his modesty, and obviously Bollywood building the romance through dazzling soundtracks. With a broken heart, when things seemed to go away from his hands he didn't start dating a new girl, instead in one of the classic ways he got drunk and tells his love story to few backup dancers and he promises to forget her in the manner that drunk promises only exist till the hangover. The 2001 boy got out of his Hindu Brahmin rituals and ate chicken manchurian to prove his impersonation. His success measures wasn't any one night stand or love bite, but a simple romantic date on a midnight which his friends were about to destroy because of their flop planning but which back fired to be good. The chemistry went along and is still alive in few hearts and thanks to the absence of insecurity in Madhavan that he won his heart on her beating a foreign returned classy man.

Mithilesh Kumar Srivastava - The Indian Charlatan

Born in the year 1912, he graduated to be a lawyer, but couldn't stick to the noble profession for too long and he soon became what he was destined to be. He had 50 different aliases.

Duping signatures wasn't any big deal for him. He duped the signatures of the then President Dr. Rajendra Prasad, prominent businessmen of the country Dhirubhai Ambani, The Tata's and The Birla's. He duped the signatures of the businessmen in order to take out money from their bank accounts. Paying forged cheques and demand drafts to shopkeepers was one of his regular deeds and many shopkeepers were his prey.

He wasn't a mere train duper or a chain snatcher. He was one of his own kind. He posed as an official of the Indian Government on occasions and he sold several historical monuments. He sold the Taj Mahal thrice. He also sold the Red Fort. He also went to the extreme end of selling the Rashtrapati Bhawan along with 545 sitting members.

For all his good deeds he was sentenced for 113 years in prison, out of which he served 20 years. He was in warrant from the cops of 8 states in over 100 cases. He was arrested 9 times and he managed to escape everyone. He made his last escape at the age of 84 when he was escorted to the hospital. It is also said that at that time he wasn't even able to walk properly.

He wasn't an ordinary conman. He even cheated death and even till date his date of death is not certain. His brother claims that he died in the year 2009 while his brother claims that he died in the year 1996.

He was a Robinhood for the needy. He helped several needy people from his native and would love to spend time in his native village. The residents of his native also planned to install his statue.
