Enlightment in the Bus !!! (It's a beautiful world...)

It was an ordinary hot Friday morning in the city. I was getting late to catch my bus. As always, I was throwing tantrums at my parents to get things ready for me to leave while I myself was not yet ready. They have no choice apart from tolerating my wrath. I am lucky. I got into my car, started off to the bus stop. Dad was badmouthing the ill drivers who came our way. He wanted to make sure that I reach in time. I felt loved. I called my friends who take the bus at preceding stops to check the status of the bus. Two of them did not lift the call while one turned out to be my savior. Yes, I did catch my bus just in time.

Took a seat in the third row beside a girl who sleeps every day during the entire journey. I put my beats headphones on, played music and started staring outside the bus window. The songs that played randomly on that day turned out to be melodious. All of them! Then, I felt a cool breeze over my face which took me to deep thoughts. 

I started remembering all the people who have been part of my life. Memorized all the sweet, sour and bitter relationships I had throughout my life. Recollected all those whom I encountered since I was born to present day, including my bus friends who were traveling with me the same time, from family to best friends to relatives to friends of friends of friends of friends to just acquaintances. I recalled everybody. I started to feel blessed, wanted and loved. Every relation I retained brought a beautiful smile on my face. My infancy, primary and secondary school, undergraduate, graduate, work life, life in India and the USA, life in the old house and the new one, everything was fulfilling. At that point of time, I decided to write this piece, take some time to thank all of them who have been part of my life and made it so enjoyable. Many loved me while some taught me lessons from the mistakes I have committed. I am grateful to all of them.

Today, I stand at a point where my future is uncertain. I felt a weird nervousness and still do. But these thoughts and reminiscence of my past and present gave me courage, confidence and excitement to face the ambiguity ahead. I am filled with positive spirit and outlook. It made me forgo the restrictions I wanted to apply to the haziness and let my life free to anything that is going to come by. Now, I feel heroic and exposed. Come what may, I am ready for it. And this nerve emanates only from the Beautiful World around me!

Love,

A blessed girl

State of the State!!!

Finally, even I have decided to go ahead and vent out my political opinion looking at the state of the State! I use words like "finally" , "even I" because I am politically indifferent person and care least about what's happening out there in the government. No, I don't feel ashamed of saying that. I am just minding my own business without causing any harm to others. I am not a hero. I don't want to be one. However, the current state of politics in our country, especially in our state bothers me.

Before I proceed any further, let me warn you that this is not going to be any intellectual talk. I am an illiterate when it comes to politics. Therefore, this is all about what I felt when I heard that the state in which I was born and brought up is not mine any more. I don't have a clue what's going on in these politicians' mind, but I am certain that they are not up to any good. Wait, before I comment on politicians, I want to swear on the people who are involved in creating riots on this issue. No, I don't use any swear words generally, I don't even want to break my principles for these good for nothing guys. However, I am disgusted how they do insensible stuff for couple of hundred bucks.

Now, this leads to another question if poverty is causing such insane for just some meagre amount (it may not be meagre to them!). Anyways, my intention is not to discuss poverty but to degrade politics, politicians and people for their irrational acts. The politicians are ruthlessly taking advantage of people in poverty and illiterates, for their personal pleasures. The land of State has become a means for real estate business for the politicians. It's all about which minister gets what if they divide the state. And, it is not about placing educated bright Telangana guys in government posts. It is about filling those openings with their illiterate relatives and their recommendations to do as they will when needed (Note: Some may be genuinely good and deserving). It's pinching me that these politicians play with people's emotions and religions. Well, actually people who also fall into their trap are fools. Speaking about Media's role in this,  Oh my god! Just the other day I was watching a youtube video in which reporters were harassing Tamanna (a punjabi!) to shout out "Jai Telangana" and "Jai Samaikhyaandhra". How does that matter what she says!!! For god's sake, I wish these people come to their senses. Do they even know what they are up to? Huh!

Nevertheless, all these days I was indifferent to politics, now I abhor it. I am furious and baffled how this country runs with such leaders. No, I am not a great leader as well. I am one of those who is sitting at home, relaxing on the couch and typing out this random stuff on the laptop. But, I want to see one. No not one, I want to see a system that's entirely good. But, I am afraid, it will just remain a dream.
