A Letter To Your Mother

Thanks for this beautiful gift you gave this world. "Thank You", seems like a smaller word. But wait, will this gift think like you do? Or is it independent enough? You must not have thought this. Actually, I have seen enough. I have heard enough. I am tired of this. Are you a parent? Or a child? I don't really care as of now. But, you should. You should go back and think about your actions. You should think about your thinking. Are we moving towards the age of robots or you already have given birth to one? I am confused. Wait! This letter is not for you! This letter is for your mother.





Everywhere I see, every time I hear, the same whining and the same useless thoughts make me think about the existence of yours in this world.  You must have thought you are a great parent, a great mom perhaps. But, does someone else thinks the same? Is she proud of you in the same way as you are proud of her? No, she will think. Yes, she will say. "Nobody thinks of me", is the perfect solution and resolution to hundreds of problems you have in your life. Don't you really think of her? I am glad you care about society. I am glad society still does not care about you. But, is this never-ending? I have thought so many times. "Yes" has been the most popular answer. You must be proud of her beauty, on her brain and how she does the household chores. Her beauty will bring her money throughout her life. She thinks the same. This is enough to rest in peace. Is it? The never-ending list of your wishes and hopes have made her walk with her shoulders down. Have you ever thought of her and kept your foot in her shoes. "No", you would say, "she would never let me do". Oh! wait. I never thought it from her end. Does she try to prove her existence? Does she make you feel she is independent? No, you would say. Is she afraid or is she stupid? Is this how you shaped her mind. I am sorry. You failed.



"Emotion" is the only weapon you know. Did someone say "education is the best weapon"? No. I don't say that. No matter how much you educate her, the insanity and selfishness still persist. Should I blame it on her? Or you are the culprit? This is a beautiful gift I see. But, a robot you might see. How selfish can you be? You show her your tears but have you seen her's? You care about her world, but do you know who her world could be? Is this selfishness? Yes, I see. But, hey! she is the same as you. She is doing the same, you see. She will show her tears but will she see someone else's? No. Bricks of selfishness have made her soul and unfortunately, you were the bricklayer and you were the architect. This is a letter for you. Because I see the root as you. Listen, think and act. The world is changing. What will you do with a hundred rights when you do not care about your own child? You want your child to have rights when you yourself have not given any to her. What will you do being so religious when the god has already said sorry to you. Why? You wonder? Did God really want you doing this? Then your god is a lie and you are just a puppet with a brainless head. You have started a chain reaction of ruining the lives. Still, you do not care and neither does she. But I do. I care about this world and my country. This is a letter to you. A warning maybe. But, everything is going in the wrong direction. Let her live like how she wants to be. If she revolts, understand her. "Ill Mannered" is a very strong word. Do we need to speak every time we want someone to understand us? Why is she crying? Why are you crying? When the reason is so silly. Please don't tell "society". When will you understand? Society is YOU. How stupid are you to find so many reasons when deep inside you know this all is just wrong.


I have learnt enough from all of you. You gave birth to a selfish robot whose remote is with you. Let her do what she wants. Isn't that you wanted when she was born? Speaking up is good manners not bad. Doesn't she have some existence in this world? Just mentoring her in the household chores and seeing her marry will make you rest in peace? But, why do you always think only about you? What about her soul? Doesn't she have a right to rest in peace? If this is what you thought and if this is what is happening, I am saddened for the limited resources of Earth that got shared with her. She is useless to this world. This is a letter to you. I hope you will understand. You will give your child what she wants. You will respect her as much as she respects you. This is not a letter. It's a mirror for your face. Or maybe soul. You will understand one day. I hope that day does not come when the sand has slipped from the hand. I hope your never-ending wishes and hope come to rest. I hope she also understands her existence and thinks from her mind. I know she still thinks you are the commander. I hope that changes. I hope she stands for her right. This is just a letter to you. Are you sorry? Don't be. There is still some time left. I am sure you will understand. But for me, as of now, I have only one question. Are you a parent? Or are you a child? Actually, I don't really care. I have seen enough and I have heard enough. I am tired of this bullshit.

My Trip To Vietnam - Peace in the Chaos (Ho Chi Minh City)

Vietnam has always fascinated travelers all around the world without actually pointing out any one thing specifically. You might be traveling to India to visit just the Taj Mahal but why do you want to take a trip to Vietnam? There is no such thing. You just want to visit Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City. But why do you want to do that? I don't know! And perhaps I did not get this answer from all the videos describing the beauty of Vietnam. This was something that had been playing in my mind ever since I saw a guy crossing a road with a million scooters coming at him. That looks like India though! Would that be the reason? I don't know! And so I pinged my friend Sudhanshu if he'd be interested in taking a trip to Vietnam with me - a beautiful and mesmerizing country. Ah! Sure he is. I knew the answer before even asking him. He and I have made and canceled plans a lot of the time. The one thing that we decided on our trip to Ladakh was to visit Vietnam (or maybe another south-east...

When The Desert Turned White - Rann Of Kutch (Rann Utsav)

In the darkroom and past midnight, I and my two friends decided to plan a trip. But the place should be something that does not dig deep into our pockets and gives a lifetime memorable experience as well. While my friend Harish (yeah! we share the same name, unfortunately) asked me, "Is there a place where you wanted to go?".  This question hit me with a place that I have been struggling to go for the past two years. A place which is as far as Indian borders could stretch, as colourful as a child's smile and as memorable as " once in a lifetime " place. I instantly said, " Let's go to Rann of Kutch to see Rann of Kutch Utsav ".  Not to my surprise, my other friend, Aminul said, "Where is this place?" and Harish added, "What is there to see?". I knew that pictures will speak louder than my words. I googled quickly, " Rann of Kutch Utsav " and showed them the images. I am quite sure I showed them this image: ...

A meet with the Backstreet Boys

 Okay, tell me who is this one. I plugged in one earplug in his ear, rewind the song, and asked my friend. That's Nick? He said in a rather "I am not sure" voice. Ah! No that's AJ. Isn't this song great? Yes, it is really! We listened to the song "Show Me the Meaning of being lonely" together on my Sony Ericsson phone which had only 200 MB of space. It could accommodate only four songs if I could balance the weight of pictures and other files. All those four songs belonged to the Backstreet Boys. The four songs I listened to before sleeping and after coming from school. While the mobile phone did not get me enough freedom, the computer I had hosted 80 GB of space. This was enough to satiate my new exploration. I couldn't care much about the lack of internet at my home and just a simple question "Do you know any internet cafe?" to my friend in school gave me a quick answer! "Near the shopping center on the main road". I was looking...

Exploring Kargil - Leh to Kargil with valleys and mountain passes

The beauty of Leh and its surrounding areas has always been a topic of discussion among travelers from April to August. As fascinating as they are in front of our eyes, the debate often tones down when we bring Kargil into the picture. Apart from the Kargil War, there are hardly any places one can name in the beautiful district of Kargil. Honestly, maybe I could have said the same thing a couple years back. I don't remember when I encountered a photo from Zanskar, but I do remember that I never forgot about it since. It was a major influence in deciding the destination and for all the right reasons, we decided to turn our handles towards a different side this time. A side that has not got the attention it deserves. A side we wish we could have explored before. Back to Leh - Once Again All the dreams of Ladakh exploration start from the capital city of Leh. Well, maybe not for those who have unlimited time and can afford a bike ride from Manali or Srinagar. But we are not so ...

A Day's Tale Of My Travel In Meghalaya

It has been a long-awaited trip to Meghalaya. I always wanted to visit the states far in the east and experience their culture. In the December of 2021 by booking tickets for Meghalaya, me and three of my friends decided to explore this state navigating our ways by an i20 car that we took from Guwahati. Since our entry and exit point was Guwahati, it made sense.  Meghalaya is a small hilly state with a population of around 75%  Christians. This was one of the reasons that we had planned a trip during the last days of December to celebrate Christmas Day. The day around which this story pertains is the same day that we wanted to celebrate and came here for. Trekking in Mawryngkhang Trek On 25th December 2021, four of us decided to do a nature trek in Meghalaya around 50km away from Shillong where we were staying till now. Today was the day for which we didn't have any bookings done as we were not able to find any hotels online. A unanimous decision pointed towards " w...

Food You Should Not Miss In Rajasthan

 Rajasthan is a state in the northern part of India. Many tourists visit yearly to witness its rich culture, colorful and vibrant arts, fascinating landscapes, graceful dance, exotic folk songs, and tempting food. If you are one of those planning to visit this beautiful state and looking to satiate yourself with the best dishes, this post is for you. Before listing down, let’s quickly brief ourselves about the source of food in Rajasthan. Rajasthan cuisine - A brief synopsis The climate and the temperature have never been in favor of Rajasthan. It ranges from arid to semi-arid throughout the year. This is why green leafy vegetables are hard to grow in these regions. The main crops of Rajasthan are bajra, ragi, jowar, ground nuts, pulses, etc. So that would equate to all the crops that need significantly less water to grow. Also, you will observe a lot of spices, pickles, and chutneys in Rajasthani cuisine. It is because the land has faced many ravaged wars and shortages of food bec...

The Last Few Steps - Manikarnika Ghat

Varanasi or Kashi or Banaras, whatever one may call it, the place plays a significant role in the life of a Hindu whether he believes in god or not. It's not about the temples you visit but the air you breathe when you are walking on the congested streets of Varanasi. It's about the ghats you visit. It's about the food you eat. For long people have associated Kashi with a sense of spirituality often labeling you with tags as "devotee" or "Shiv Bhakt" but my trip to Varanasi made me realize that the magic that people talk about happens not inside the temples but in the places you would least expect. Varanasi and the vibes I was one among the millions of people who arrived in Varanasi for the annual event of Dev Deepawali celebrated fifteen days after Diwali and organized by the Uttar Pradesh Government. The highlights of the event are the firecrackers which when I witnessed, completely left me in awe of the moment. The greatest fire show I witnessed! Bu...
