Searching for a frozen moment once reside.

Searching for a frozen moment once reside

Bleak Reminiscence of thy love might still be there 

In a heart within me that lives no more

A lonesome divinity in me I walk a lost path

A celestial sensation of another life I have left behind

For I contemplate my destiny is for a lost cause

The doors of paradise have closed on me now

The walls of my enchanting realm fall down as I speak

The transgression of my past is the only prospect I perceive

I stroll towards the well of sacred stream

To quench my thirst of the centuries 

I dream for a tributary of harmony within but it's desiccated

Everything that has forever been or will be is the unchanged

My life is a perplexing enigma without the pieces 

This cadaver rests without a soul, and a facade without eyes

But still I see the face of my demise march towards me

A bequest of oblivion, I hold my existence as it fades away

I throw away my past nightmares as I close my eyes 

For with it no longer inside me, I shall anguish no more 

forever and always


It started out simple
like somthing new
I knew from the beginning
there was just somthing about you.

I loved the way you smiled
and the way you laughed
We were on different roads
until the roads came to one path.

When you asked me out
the butterflies came
they came in my heart
and I was never the same.

We became one
at the same time we were best friends
You said "Forever and always"
and I thought it would never end.

It was like that for a while
and I lived for your kiss
you told me I was beautiful
and I felt such total bliss.


But one night, your mind changed
and you turned it all around
You brought me up so high
just to tear me back down.

After that it was never the same
and I cried for all those days
now I think I finally realize
forever doesn't mean for always.

Sister (My friend, philosopher and guide)


"This is for my sister, best friend and other half.
She is the one who sparked the flame of creativity in me." 

So close, yet so far.
Together, yet apart.
We are sisters, body and soul,
Yet we are separate and alone. 
Our bodies separated by land,
But nothing separates our hearts.
Even if our eyes cannot meet
We know each other's thoughts. 
Forever sisters we shall be
Connected by something stronger than blood.
Never alone will we be
As long as we have each other. 
There's something God has given me, 
A gift so sweet and rare; 
A love for my sister deep in my heart,
And a friend who will always be there. 



love youu sister!! thanks for being an insprirer....you mean so much to me ... 
and this feeling only intensifies as the years pass.

loads of hugs and kisses :)
miss you a lot... :(

Mission Kashmir

Much has been said about the Kashmr issue since protests started to rock Jammu and the Kashmir valley. Many commentators have offered ways to resolve the crisis and not all agree with the official line on Jammu and Kashmir. Such a wealth of diverse wealth is welcome and we may thank our democracy for it. However, we ought to remember that Kashmir is a complex problem that dates backs to 1947 and no one has yet found a ready made solution. Yes, the temptation to get over, at any cost, a dispute that has consumed so much in time, money and lives is high in the country. But overly simple problems without resolving old ones. Issues have gone beyond the Amarnath land controversy.
What are the proposals suggested to resolve the Kashmir issue? One, Kashmiris are alienated from the Indian state and want to join Pakistan. So let them go. Two,Kashmiris are a pampered lot and the mass protests in the valley are a threat to the territorial integrity of India. The protests should be crushed and Article 370, which provides social status to Jammu and Kashmir, withdrawn to integrate the state with the rest of India. Third, we must recognize the Kashmiri sentiment of alienation and negotiate with all groups , including separatist ones, on a platform of autonomy to the state.
To examine the first proposal, the UN resolution calling for a pelbiscite in Kashmir to decide its accession to India or Pakistan in effect rules out the option of an independent Kashmir. A plebiscite is possible only if India and Pakistan both withdrw their armies from the region. That's unlikely to happen at this point. True, separatists in Kashmir are supported by Pakistan. But Islamabad's vision of 'azadi' for Kashmir doesn't include an independent Kashmiri nation but mere integration of the region with the Pakistani state that is called Azad Kashmir. Various surveys, such as the one carried by outlook magazine in 1995, suggest that a merger with Pakistan
is not a preferred option in the valley. Moreover, at the core of the pro-pakistan argument is the view of India as Hindu state. It rejects the notion of a ecular India and argues that religion ought to be the foundation for a nation. According to this view, Pakistan is the destined home for the subcontinent's Muslims. The Kashmir valley has a muslim majority ; ergo, give it to Pakistan.
However, another partition on the basis of religion might sharpen the communal divide in this country
India is home to more than 150 million muslims and less than five million of them live in Kashmir. The rest are not asking for a separate nation; by and large, they are as contented in India , warts and all, as the other communities of this nation are. But any further territorial realignment on the basis of religion might open old wounds.
The main target of the integrationist politics of right wing politicians is Article 370. They want the article to be withdrawn. This is impractical. Article 370 is an article of faith born out of the terms under which jammu and kashmir joined the Indian Union. It is more than a legal clause that determines relations between Srinagar and New Delhi. The controversial provision is loaded with symbolism and tampering with it only will only strengthen the separatist argument that Hindu India wants to dilute the unique character of Kashmir. Clearly, the Han Chinese model of national integration practised in Beijing by Tibet is not an option that can be supported, for moral and practical considerations, by those who want a genuine resolution of the dispute.
That leaves us with the autonomy option. This seems to be the only feasible solution at the moment. Article 370 can be the foundation to restructure autonomy of Kashmir. Sections of the separatist leadership in Kashmir have hinted that they are willing to explore this option. New Delhi should be bold to explore this option. New Delhi should be bold to explore innovative suggestions, including a negotiated return to something like the pre-1953 status of the Jammu and Kashmir state. the present international line of control should stay, but more transit points and trade routes could be opened along the border. Any proposal for consensus has to be obtained on it. Political parties must rise above immediate electoral interests and see the log term gains for the country if this tortuous issue is to be resolved amicably. At stake in Kashmir is not merely the might of the Indian state, but also its ability to be flexible and accomodative within a liberal and democratic framework. The world is watching us.
Bold and imaginative leadership on the part of New Delhi as well as Kashmiri leaders is necessary. The challenge is to negotiate a common ground. Alienation is as much an issue of perception as it is of ground realities. The Kashmiri's sense of fear or anger is fuelled by propaganda unleashed by Pakistan as much it is a result of mismanagement of the problem by successive governments in Srinagar and New Delhi. A spot of skillful statesmanship is urgently required from all sides. The issue is far too complicated to allow easy solutions.


Kashmir will ever be with India , whatever sacrifices we shall have to make.

Jesus de Galindez

In March 1956, Jesus de Galindez, the Spanish Republican exile and Basque government delegate in New York, mysteriously disappeared from the center of Manhattan and was never seen again. Like so many Jesus de Galindez suffered the pain of concentration camps and exile. He became Delegate of the Basque Government in the Dominican Republic. When he was there , the research he carried out for his doctoral thesis on the disctatorship of Geberal Trujillo was more than enough reason to make him flee the country for New York and after that he was never seen again. Its believed that he was toutured and murdered under the dictatorship of Trujillo. The FBI launched a costly enquiry into who was responsible for removing their most valuable political informant on Latin America, and that Trujillo, scared, set about wiping out all those connected with the kidnapping, starting with Galindez himself. Galindez was a proponent of an inclusive form of nationalism that sought to reconcile two or more identifications. The pilot who took Galindez to Santo Domingo also was killed, the first of a tangled web of assassinations in an episode in which few, apart from Galindez, emerge with any credit. Galindez never saw his political dreams realized. In fact, somehow he intuitively knew about his death. He proposed the creation of an international federation of sorts that would be recognized by the United Nations. But he did not live to see his dreams of greater freedom realized. It seems he was a martyr for freedom: seems because we might never really know what happened to him. His younger brother Tavito, a true believer, took part in the kidnapping of Jesús de Galíndez, in 1956. For his loyalty he was jailed and murdered. If you get time do watch the spanish movie " The Galindez file", based on the true story of this Nationalist.

Indo - pak

India’s vision of peace with Pakistan is a mirage, if unfolding events in Pakistan, the Middle East and the global strategic situation are taken into account. Much has been written in the past on this count and yet India persists in pursuing this mirage. Many American policy analysts also have conceded that Pakistan is an improbable partner for peace with India. They have arrived at this conclusion after a long study of Pakistan’s policy attitudes and fixations and a survey of its demonstrated patterns of approaches to conflict resolution.This issue has endless points to make it short, in reality there cant be peace among these two countries until and unless one of the countries decide to give up their policies which i think is just imaginary. I don't see it happen in distant future. Kashmir is not the only issue as far as peace goes, there are issues like terrorism and the foreign policies of the countries which also plays a major role. Its' difficult yet easy to create peace between both the nations!!
