Veracity International

You know when you feel you tried enough,  that you gave everything you could,  invested every single emotion and energy into something and still it didn't work out.  I know the agony that one feels.  It's an emotional break down.  Emotional break downs are the worst.  You feel your body loosening grip.  You feel there is no purpose left.  You feel you're not worth it. Remember,  until your breath counts,  there is a lot to do.  After that you are going to sleep till eternity.  This life is precious..  It's not a worthless thing.  If you think this is worthless,  you can invest it in worthless things and waste it the way you want.  But if you think this life of yours is precious.  Treat it like that.  Invest it in some bigger vision.  Don't be dragged down to a narrow aisle of your brain. One bad experience,  two bad experiences or even hundereds of them.  They mean nothing unt...

Love is a beautiful feeling, isn't it ? Love affairs are beautiful too, are they ? Well, let me tell you about my first love affair today. You may find some glimpses of your first love affair too after reading this. If you're thinking that you never have had any love affair, then just read this till end, you will feel loved. So, before I reveal my affair to you, let me find answer to a question first. What love affair actually is ? - A love affair is where two living beings surrender to eachother unconditionally. -A love affair is when those involved, give eachother what is required by them. -It is a never ending process of give & take even without noticing conciously. -It is when one party sacrifices for the good of other. -It is when both are so much connected, that absence of one suffocates the other. These are some of the attributes of a love affair, more precisely an ideal-love affair. But there is the other side of coin too. There are toxic ...

" To protest unabated killings in Kashmir. ...marginalization and invisiblization of 200 million Muslims... ...insidious attacks on special identity of J&K ...subversion of public institutions" and a complementary thanking note. With these words and gesture the topper of 2009 batch IAS, Dr Shah Faesal resigned from his post this evening. This was a much anticipated step given his  tweets against central government which created some controversy ('Rapistan' remark) & which also called for an enquiry upon him. Anyway, everyone has the right to choose the endeavour for one's life. Leaving the beauraucracy, it is now being anticipated that he is likely to join JK-NC(National Conference). Currently a fellow at Havard Kennedy School (on govt.funds), he has served various departments in J&K including PDD & Education. This resignation gave rise to lot of questions and speculations among common public. The facebook post had Kashmir centric re...

Another abstract topic. No I am not trying to be a philosopher. But, this topic is something that everybody relates to. Isn't it so ? And I couldn't think of a better topic to start the new year with. So, here we go... HAPPINESS... Something, that everyone wants. Some pursue it to the end of their life. Some have it right from the beginning of it. Some people claim to have this transcendent entity. Well, one thing common with every abstract emotion is its subjective nature. They mean different to different people.  Maybe you are happy with a penny in your pocket...& someone's crying with a car equipped with an engine of rocket... People go different places looking for happiness. Some go to different parts of the world exploring new sights, while some sit in the cozyness of their bed and let their imagination travel the world with a book in hand. Some try to find happiness behind the walls of a historical monuments sitting with their loved ones....

You know there was a time when the villain was someone whom everybody hated & hero was the one who got all the praises. The wrong was never celebrated & the right was glorified. But recently this trend has changed. The movie *The Dark Knight* could be regarded as the trend setter of all this. The character of Joker was so much loved that it started a new trend; A villain can be desirable too. From hollywood to bollywood, movies like Dhoom, Raees, Fast & Furious & so on... are made on the same concept.  Where the bad guy steals the show. Recently the character of Khilji ( from bollywood movie Padmaavat )was praised by audience. Well, untill it remains to the filmy curtain, its completely fine. But as they say "Films are the mirror of the society". So, are we buliding a liking towards this evil in real world too ? Pop,R&B songs with nasty lyrics are becoming the taste of everyone's tongue. Producers go on making such stuff, coz,...

Well I wrote this while travelling from Jammu to Udhampur. I couldn’t get the window seat in the bus. P.S : -  If you are travelling on Jammu-Srinagar highway by bus, make sure you get a window seat because if you don’t, you are missing a lot of treat to your eyes. I was returning home after my exams ended. This topic just appeared in my brain when my mind drove me back into the lanes of memories. When I was a child, a mistake was a kind of fun for me. If my Mum told me not to do something, I made it obvious to do that. And then ran away after doing wrong; that hiding from Mum was fun. I did mistakes repeatedly to increase the fun. The mistakes were not some crime then. They were just stupid little things that annoyed everyone else except me.  And whenever I made some serious mistake & it hurt me, I had an option to cry & my Mum's shoulder was there to... wait...not shoulder...my Mum's lap was there to comfort me. It was the best therapy.  ...

"The fault in his stars" , said a person at my funeral. Well I'm sorry to say this but the fault is not in my stars, it's in you, my dear society.  Stars are mere collection of rocks & dust. Aren't they ? You leave no stone unturned to depress somebody to death & then shamelessly even gather the courage to mutter words of condolence & pseudo-concern when someone leaves this place forever... But, I don't wanna address you. You people are not those from whom I expect something.  My addressal is to my parents... The loving parents ! Ma, Pa...You loved me much enough right from my childhood & you showered expensive gifts on my every success. But I am also a human & I fail too, sometimes. Doesn't I deserve a second chance ? A mere failure in one exam & you lost your mind. You didn't let any opportunity go away from scolding me...in front of friends, relatives & every Tom , Dick & Harry. ...
