Be With Me .....It's back!!

You know the most stupid thing one can do is to leave behind the things which made them, you can simply call refer them as “Jerks”. Here I’m bringing out one of the greatest jerk of all time… Ladies and Gentleman put your hand together for ME.

I have been really outspoken about my aspiration and desires for writing in almost every interview of mine. My journey as a child who was afraid to share his work in a concern of being judged to a writer who was a rated among the Top 50 bloggers in India and subsequently moved on to pen down a book was like a dream. I just never expected it to happen so fast. I may not be talented enough but surely I was very fortunate. Jai mata di.

I don’t need to tell you how good it felt because you know it but then I never realized when everything slipped away from my hands. It’s a happy day for me as SNAPPY THOUGHTS is finally going live again so I will not write what actually occurred and why I wasn’t writing. Let bygones be bygones forever.

With a hope that my readers still remember me, I promise you that this time I’m back and I am not going anywhere. In case some of you have forgotten my work then I will make sure that my work will again make a place in your life and will stay there as long as the entire human race survives.  (Ok, the last part was a bit dramatic.)

I will not alter the look of my website because we will begin from the position where we exactly left each other and this time it will be a never ending journey. I don’t leave you and hope you will stay with me.

I need your support and for that I need to win back your heart. After that we will find out if my name can again be named among the top bloggers in India. Even if it doesn’t happen again but please be with me.

CREATORS: Like Really?

Impact of this title is quite obvious. The instant reaction which you may give after reading the title would be: “Is this guy talking about the Gods?” Well, No I’m not.

Though, I accept that the Gods are the ultimate creators of every single this thing existing and that ever existed in the universe. He/she is the one with ultimate authority to create anything and it’s they who decide how long will their creation will live on this planet and in which form except few scientists who are now focusing on hybrid species, i.e. Pomeranian mixed up with  Labrador; tiger mixed up with a cat or elephant mixed up with the rat.

So, coming back to the point, apart from God and few extraordinary scientists with extra-terrestrial mind, there is a group of people who creates and their creation never go away. They dwell among us in our intellect, in our essence and even Gods can’t take them aside from this planet. They are THE WRITERS.

The writers create characters which stays between us even if the writer is not among us anymore. We imagine about them, we sing around them and we live with them. They are with us, always. For God, it may be an easy job. May be with one wave of the hand they create and another wave, they destroy. But we, the writers, stay awake day and night, run through all the details and the nitty gritty to create one character. We have to make sure that people will fall in love with them and always keep them in their mind.

I can name few characters, which are constantly in the backrest of my head. Mr. and Mrs. Grey from Fifty shades of grey, Deb from Durjoy’s novels, Amir and Hassan from Kite runner, Shiva from Shiva trilogy , Amy from Gone girl and many more.

And I just hope Virat from The Forbidden Line (my creation) will also persist with the readers as long as they exist.

On the spur of the moment, it’s lightning and raining. A voice came from the sky.

God: So, you want to state that you are the ultimate creators. Is it so?

Shit! It’s The God.

Me: No, I mean…ahhhh.. I mean we can also create.

I answered with hesitation.

God: And my creation can be destroyed but yours can’t. You also claim that. Again, you are indirectly saying that you guys are masters.

Me: No, No, God, sir. It’s not like that, but our creations are fictional and you can’t destroy anything which practically never existed. So, moral of the story: Nobody can destroy what writer’s created.

Silence…

God: Well, you are my creation and I can destroy you. Hahahaha….. Now, beat that baby.

I choose to stay in silence and make a puppy face.

God is God…. Ufffff!!!!

Disappointed

People see dust in the roadside but fail to remember there was no road ten year before. Some people complains that they have jobs on contract basis but fail to remember that there was no job ten year before. 

We live in a country which is caught between Hype and promotion. Ironically there is no reward for the man who has given 12% avg. growth rate in the last ten years. Sad days for Bihar.

q5. Give me description of what you see when you look out of the window this very moment?
a- A wonderful question at a wonderful time. What I see in front of me when I look out of the window is the main entrance of a school premises. Small children are coming out of it in maroon trousers/skirts, white shirt and maroon sweater over it. Some kids are leading their parents and their parents are following them. Some of them are behaving like a disciplined kid and are walking with their parents, holding their hands.

The fast steps of some parents clearly shows that they are in a rush to reach home.

A DEVIL CALLED DIET FOOD

Every where Every where Every where oats, barley, brown bread, wheat flour noodles, etcetera are now everywhere and the saddest part is that everyone is consuming it. Diet food recipes are flooding all over on internet and cookery shows. This evil is very swiftly taking over the whole world. People are advising each other to eat diet or so called healthy foods and to minimize the consumption of real food.

What is real food?

• ·         BUTTER, which should be utterly butterly delicious not that      LITE one.
• ·         Deep fry food items i.e. samsosa , pakora, etc.
• ·         Pizza, Chowmein and other junk foods.
• ·         Spicy non-veg food items.

These are Real foods. It gives you taste. It gives you the feeling of fulfillness inside your stomach. It acts as a stress buster and most importantly, it gives you happiness. Unlike those rubbish food which are meant for patient and sick people. Damn! I am fit. Why to eat those? It gives you the feeling of sadness and tastelessness. They are fake foods. Well, atleast in my case. Even their smell drives me crazy.

I love my parathas and bread with handsome amount of butter over it in breakfast. Umm…Butter. I love all purpose flour noodles, wheat flour noodles can never ever replace it. And how can you replace samosa, kachori , chaat , etc. with healthy foods. I mean how can somebody be such a sadist? That’s so cruel. 

HAPPINESS IS REAL FOOD
