Welcome!!

Writing as a form of expression is so powerful. To me, writing is a process of introspection, discovery, exploration and I am loving this experience. Here, I am sharing some of my works.

Baahubali and the Mahabharata connection - 18 parallels

While I was watching Baahubali in the theater, I couldn’t help but observe certain subtle and some not so subtle references to the ancient Indian epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata, especially the Mahabharata. I loved the connection!  Theme #1 Cousins’ rivalry – To start off, the underlying theme of the entire epic is the rivalry and discord between blood-related cousins; Pandavas and Kauravas in the Mahabharata, Baahubali and Bhallaladeva here. Adding a little more flavor to this is the fact that one side is the trigger and the other is forced to react, although given their way they would have loved to be in an amicable relationship. Furthermore, both Baahubali and the Pandavas were initially unaware of the hatred spewing in their cousins’ hearts Characters #2 A scheming older generation uncle/father - Shakuni and Bhijjaladeva (Bhallaladeva’s father) – Both these men were cunning personalities and wanted their nephew/son to be crowned and constantly worked i...

When we worked as a team!!

“Bunking” – The key word in every college student’s dictionary. The reason for bunking??Well, just being out of class is reason enough!!So, my friends and me decided to bunk.

Starting again....

How do you face the Sun? When the bed is warm, oh so cozy! How do you walk on thorns? When the garden is soft, oh so rosy! Searching in your dictionary for materialism, Knowing your soul strives for minimalism, How do you stride towards modernism? Leaving behind the cradle of spiritualism! A quarter century gone, Friends forming families of own, How do you move to a land unknown? When you should restart alone; Hamlet rings in thy ears, Mind meditating 'to be or not to be' for years, How do you overcome fears? Aware there is none to wipe your tears; Seek the truth within, To you, what means everything, Leave unturned nothing, In pursuit of that one thing! Inaction you detest, You know not rest, Only wanting the best, You fly from your nest....
