Equality... An Equal Prospect?

It's a democratic nation. All of us have equal rights, responsibilities and duties. Equal opportunities too. Equality seems to be the order of the day. It's the most basic law of nature. Everything in nature, physical, metaphorical, mythological, biological... everything seeks a balance. An "Equilibrium". In mathematical terms, we call it a balanced equation. When one side of the expression equals the other.

Then comes the stark reality. Does it REALLY exist? Do u see deviations from the basic concept of equality around u? In the world ur living in? In the circle u move? At the place where u work? Ur home? Ur mind? ANYWHERE?

Liberties, behaviour, responsibilities, rewards... a lotta jargon, u might be tempted to say. But look closely. Analyse. Be a little more critical in ur analysis. And then if I have been able to explain what I wanna say clearly, u'll know exactly what I mean.

There r times when ur really torn apart by thinking over this. And the most persistent question that comes to ur mind more often than anything else is the most basic question of all. A question so basic that it's a child's favourite question thrown at his folks.... "WHY?"...

U been there? How does it feel?

11. Eyes Wide Shut

Long time no see... That's what someone wud say if they come across this blog and notice that I hvnt written anything in a long time.

Well, there are 2 things worth noticing here. The first is "SEE", and the other is, rather comically, "NOTICE".

There are times when we are just not ready to see and accept the obvious. Things that are right there in front of us, either in the open or hidden under some sort of a clout. Things that we ARE aware of, but are just afraid to accept. Probably things which are absolutely inevitable and there is just NO way u can turn things some other way. Yet...

Things change. People change. Friends change. Situations change... But we hardly accept what we know...

Then there are times when you are expected not to change. Be the same all the time. "SPREAD HAPPINESS". Laugh-a-lot. Crack jokes. Bring smiles on others' faces...

What when you are unable to do so, due to unexplainable reasons? Unexplainable to ur own self too...?

Is there anyone around u at that time when u need 'em most?

Have u been through such a phase ever?

10. Because I Love You...

When U Were Only 5 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Asked Me: "What Is It?"

When U Were 15 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Blushed.. U Look Down And Smiled..

When U Were 20 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Put Ur Head On My Shoulder And
Held My Hand.. Afraid That I Might Dissapear..

When U Were 25 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Prepared Breakfast And Served It In
Front Of Me, And Kissed My Forhead N
Said : "U Better Be Quick, Is's Gonna Be Late.."

When U Were 30 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Said: "If U Really Love Me, Please
Come Back Early After Work.."

When U Were 40 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Were Cleaning The Dining Table And
Said: "Ok Dear, But It's Time For U To Help Our Child With His/Her Revision.."

When U Were 50 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Were Knitting And U Laughed At Me..

When U Were 60 Yrs Old, I Said I Love U..
U Smiled At Me..

When U Were 70 Yrs Old. I Said I Love U..
We were Sitting On The Rocking Chair With Our Glasses On.. I'm Reading Your Love Letter That U Sent To Me 50 Yrs Ago..With Our Hands Crossing Together..

.

.

.

.
When U Were 80 Yrs Old, U Said U Love Me!
I Didn't Say Anything But Cried..

That Day Must Be The Happiest Day Of My Life! Because U Said U Love
Me!!! Please Appreciate Your Loved Ones.. Say "I Love You" To Them When U
Have The Chance Now!!!

Have U ever delayed saying it to someone who loves u?
