What have I got to do?

It’s sad, so sad. It’s a sad, sad situation. And it’s getting more and more absurd. What have I got to do…
When sorry seems to be the hardest word…

The sorry state of Punjab Technical University

Around 11 days back, The Tribune carried an article titled “Has PTU become dysfunctional?”.

एक और प्रयास…

बहुत दिन गुज़र गए, जब मुझ में अखिरी बार हिन्दी में लिखने की प्रेरणा जागी थी । आज फ़िर वैसा ही अवसर आया है । आज मुझे ऐसा लगा जैसे मेरी हिन्दी, मेरी मातृ भाषा, कमज़ोर हो गई है । यह ऐसे युग में हो रहा है जब हर देश अपनी ही मातृ भाषा पर

Somebody… anybody… you…

Instant liking

It’s been long since I heard a song and instantly liked it. Well no more…
Suddenly, there arrives a song, who with its brilliant musical arrangement and lyrics caught my mind like never before. The song is waste by Seether. I find myself listening to it all day… and as stated in the previous post, it

Me likes sadness

Its a little peculiar and I’ve only recently noticed this – I enjoy sadness. I like getting depressed. I like to have that pain shoot up inside of me. I like the feeling when my head gets so heavy that tears just trickle out of my eyes. I don’t know what to make of this
