Will she ever be mine

        The night is awesome, the moon is half mast. The Jamun tree, in front of me is standing tall, moving and dancing around in a mystic rhythm. The Tiny flowers on it and the dark green leaves matches with the color of the night. Down below, the road is empty, without any life, except for some rodents searching for food and maybe who knows playing hide and seek.
 
Somewhere down the lane someone is playing a good old Hindi song, a particular favorite of mine. The lyrics match with the atmosphere around. “Sogaya ye jahan, sogaya aasma. So gai hai sari manzilen…”
And I standing there on the balcony of my cousin’s flat, is thinking of those memorable things I could have done, but haven’t done. I could have won a million hearts. At least could have won one, But couldn’t. I don’t know why but I have always felt that I couldn’t win a heart, to be precise her heart. I am not a Prince Charming strolling on awhite horse. I am not a knight whose looks could make women go mad. I am certainly not the Frog who would turn into a charming prince when kissed. I am not. Maybe is that a reason why I couldn’t win her heart?

If I were to describe myself, I would have said that I am a practical no body. There is nothing in me that could impress her. Nothing that would make her heart miss a few beat, I am damn sure, whenever she sees me I think her heart never even notices me. Maybe her mind recognizes me, but to make her fall in love with me it is necessary for her heart to miss a few heart beats. It is necessary for her legs to tremble and her body to perspire. I think it is necessary that she should be damn confused about herself. But I don’t know if this is good or bad, she doesn’t even sees me for more than a moment.

Does all this break my heart? Yes, it does. It breaks my heart every day, every night. And it hurts me deep inside. The pain these days is intolerable. Somewhere I feel I am incompetent. Somewhere I feel I should have been more that I am. Somewhere deep in my heart I feel that I am not made for her. But I quickly try to trash such kind of thoughts. I feel there’s a chance. I feel that there might be a slight probability that she might be thinking of me now. She might be thinking of me, but don’t know what. Does she like me? Does she hate me? Has she ever considered me?

I don’t know, there are a million questions in my mind now, yes a million questions. Even I don’t know what these questions are but I don’t know to know. I just want to know the answer to only question will she ever be mine?

Message to The Kunal Marathe

If you don’t know who Kunal Marathe is, then I request you to search on Google, he is a writer, businessman and the Lion of Indian literature. His ways are not the traditional ones but ferocious and superb. He is the author of a national best seller “Suicide at Seventeen”, he also owns a fast growing publishing company.

A few days ago Kunal posted on his Facebook account:

“After watching Kai Po Che, one thing is clear.

In India, don't make a film or write a book that hurts the religious sentiments of some religions... even if there is one single dialogue or true event that 'hurts' the sentiments of a particular religious group, the movie can be banned or the writer or the maker can be arrested.

But, you are free to show Hindus wrong... You can make fun of Hindu Gods... You can use the slogans 'Jai Shree Ram' by a bunch of murderers... you can even rape the Hinduism... and they will all sit quiet !!!

#Sad...”
My response to Kunal Marathe:

Dear brother Kunal,

I respect your sentiments and also the sentiments of all the 1.2 Billion people residing in India.

I respect every language, tribe, caste and sect that can be found in this great land of Bharat.

I respect the snakes, the cows, the birds and the trees worshiped by Indians,

I respect every ounce of soil that helps us feed.

I respect nature.

I respect freedom of speech, freedom to choose and follow any religion, I respect the right to live, feel and to enjoy. I do respect each and every person’s right to criticize, hate and to get angry.

In short respect and follow the Indian constitution.

Yet I am here writing to you about your Facebook post, why?

Do I hate you for pointing out the mistakes in our society?

Do I hate you for being impartial while making comments?

No brother Kunal, I don’t hate you. Instead I like you. I like the fire in you and always pray to God to take you there, where you always wanted to be.

But then why I am writing this?

I am writing this just to clear one small thing, I want to remind you of a simple thing, brother Kunal you mentioned in your post that if

“In India, don't make a film or write a book that hurts the religious sentiments of some religions... even if there is one single dialogue or true event that 'hurts' the sentiments of a particular religious group, the movie can be banned or the writer or the maker can be arrested.”

This my dear brother is not all true, these religions that you are mentioning here are of course a vital vote bank for some silly politicians, but yet when ever any writer, artist, filmmaker writes something blasphemous about their religion, they come up to the streets, they file FIR’s and request the Government to take control of the situation, sometimes such protests have in the past gone wild causing some public property to be damaged. But still the government come to their rescue and banned the artist, author or the cartoonist just because they came and requested to ban it.

The government in its own cannot ban any book or movie unless someone requests it. I hope you remember the Vishwaroopam issue, multiple religious organizations had filed FIR’s, sent memorandums to the Prime Minister via their DM’s, and DC’s also online petitions were circulated. This my dear brother is a democratic process. And there is nothing wrong in it.

Also let me remind you my dear brother Kunal, that in the past a world renowned artist was attacked because he painted something wrong, if I remember correctly 8 FIR’s were filed. I know what he did might have hurt a lot, and filing FIR’s was the best thing people did. There are some similar incidents, most of the time I feel that people don’t take legal action, they just mumble and then forget as if it never happened.

What I want is people to file more FIR’s whenever they feel their religious beliefs have been hurt, or when they feel that their religion is being shown in a dim light.

What I feel is that we must take the legal route rather than the emotional route. Things need to change, and I believe writers like you can, and I am sure you will change it with your pen, with your wit and with the courage of a lion. And do you know why people call you Lion? Because they believe in you.

Your brother in constitution,
Eak Insan.

Where there's a WILL there's a way

Children playing cricket
Love for the game

don't know since when but I have been an Optimist and I always believed that to do something great we don't need the right resources but we need the right level of love, dedication, passion and hard work to succeed. These little boys teach us the same. They don’t have any resources to play, yet they are enjoying the game. :-)
