To the people who are appalled by the death of the pregnant elephant...

I am continuously astonished by the outpouring of condemnation people have expressed to this unfortunate incident. And I am glad instead of staying silent, and ruling this case hopeless; you chose to speak against this cruelty. It humbles me to see people unanimously stand up for these animals.

Deservance

I have been questioning myself "Do I deserve it?" for more than two [years] now. Less often than before. I ask it thrice; emphasising on "I", "deserve" and "it" each time and notice how the tone of the question changes with dragging a few syllables.

What I wrote about 'patriotism' in September 2013

This is something I wrote in September 2013, for a morning assembly speech, but I did not write everything and did not explain everything. To deliver a speech, I used to pen down my thoughts on a piece of paper — to have an idea what came to my mind.
