The one when Modi shook the Nation


Currency Ban.
I hope the internet jokes are helping you remain calm while standing in queue for cash withdrawal near ATMs. Respect your patience, but I am afraid you might lose it very soon. I had a trust in Modi, like we all of us do, so for the first two days, I myself was busy only scrolling those internet memes, till the situation got me and my family. Old customers of my very own store aren't willing to make payments, nor are my husband's clients. For how long would this go?



India is a country where most of the transactions are done in cash. Even when its online shopping, I and many others used to opt for "COD". Along with it, the banknotes which now have been declared illegal, represented more than 86% of cash which is in circulation. How did Modi take such a bold step which can affect the economy pretty bad for months to come? Maybe he has a plan, I think. But, right now all I can see is that the streets are empty, and Modi isn't even here to look around the mess he has created.
I wonder, did he take into consideration all those people who are dying in hospitals as they aren't able to make payments? Did he think about all those auto-drivers and taxi drivers who could now be unable to pay their loans and then, loose their source of income? In India, all the sectors are co-related and he can't strengthen the poor by giving a huge shock to the rich people who had their savings in hand and not in banks. By giving a shock to all those wives who help the local vendors by purchasing household items. Why would restaurants keep running if they are unable to pay their rents? If the situation remains as it is right now, everything might shut down.

Modi ji, celebrated Diwali but banned the Laxmi Indians prayed to. But, eh, I might just take a deep sigh, as I believe that if the government is THIS serious and IMMEDIATE about tackling black money menace, it won't be leaving the situation at this. I believe Modi wouldn't let economy fall that hard, would he?

Are they People or Snakes?

We have figured it out wrong. Bustling on the roads, sipping our coffees, Smoking cigarettes, partying on weekends, Spending our money on things that don't matter, Like the new shoes, or Maybe the new Dress, The pretty girl with a fake accent is Busy, busy being anxious about her fashion choices, because well, she got it all figured wrong. Yet, she thinks she knows it all, while hidden insecurities, she believes her fake personality is top-notch. So many people in meaningless gibberish Wishing to stay updated with the world facts, to become so opinionated that they can interact about everything that exists, But what are these opinions for by-the-way, If the people you talk to, don't wish to talk to you anyway? And then, come those who wish to align with the world Fight for their society, or the well-being, Such that they are willing to take laws into their own hands, Use their provoking skills to thrash someone in a  mob, who did maybe a wrong.

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. F...

The laugh

"Comedy" A thing I am addicted to. I need the jokes. I need the laughter almost everywhere. I need in the Tv shows. Romance in movies without a bit of comedy feels a zero. I want it in my writing. I want it in my scrapbooks. No matter how it comes out to be. Never letting a thing remain serious for too long is a hobby, I must say (Except when its my own temper,ofcourse).. Is it too bad? Does it account for immaturity? What is it like to be a person without a sense of humor? Isn't it depressive enough? Don't they suffer? I have never been around those people who can't have a good laugh or can't let small stuff go. I have never been able to be friends with them. And I am always in a fear to be one of those. Often when a day or two goes by without having a good laugh, it tenses me up. I start to feel like am changing. Maybe because its the one thing I love about me the most. Which I think is the one thing everyone must have. A cheer. A happy aura. Because a ...
