Shame.

It feels strange to start the second article on my blog with such a title....well ,should we call it an article...im not a journo to write one.....ummm....lets coin a new term for it...say....."Heartologue"...bcos, thats what it is...I pour what's in my heart out on this blog..and its a dialogue...b'cos even you guys can comment, state, respond....
So thats a new word now...." Heartologue"....
So, umm..ya the title of this "Heartologue" is strange..." Shame".....
But there's no other word that qualifies to address the issue better...
Here is the matter. Listen .
Yesterday morning as a part of may daily "commonman" schedule i went out for a walk in a nearby park..
Everything was so normal....Pot bellied gentlemen walking briskly (Their pace changed with the person ahead of them..If its another guy, overtake...if its a Gal, chase her slowly....!)
Some "would-be" models performing their aerobic exercises...
Another category of older men racing ahead in their sports gear, with their branded shoes and bandanas...
Each one trying to show..."Hey, Im younger than you are....!!!"
After, my daily stride, i decided to take a look at an artificial pond created in the park...( the pond's so muddy..its more like a puddle!)
A few other people were standing besides me....showing their kids the colorful fish moving around in the pond..red, silver..you name it.
Whats wrong in all this? .....Nothing....Then whats so special about the "Title"...
Here it is.
In the midst of that messy pond was floating a representative of our identity.....a paper made tricolor !......The national flag....
The pity is that everyone was busy in watching the wide spectrum of colors that the fish had....none of them could see the tricolor in a pityful state..
A huge amount of people visit the park because they are so called " Health conscious".....Is anyone still present who is Conscious of his/her morality......???
Arent we genuinly SHAMELESS?
After waiting there for a while..and watching the entire scene...something pinched my heart....and i got into the pond...wet till the knee....
Got the tricolour out and dried it...then kept it at a dignified place.
Shouldnt this have been done earlier..?
Its your tricolour...your flag....If you dont respect it...believe me, no one will.

Day 1

So, i 've finally arrived. Lot of thinking went into whether i should blog..or just dump the idea of blogging..
Blogging is essentially the activity of the Famous or infamous celebs....Right?...Wrong ! A Common man has an equal right to reach out to the world ....to say his word...even if its just a simple" hello".
So, first things first......who the hell am i....talking to you guys sitting across the globe reading my blog....Am i really that important?....I dont know....But my modest question is...do i have to be that important to talk to the world?
At least one may get an idea of " What is mediocrity" by reading me ..
But apart from being "common"..i do a lot of things. I sing..well almsot everyone does...but i also compose..And yes, i "write"...
Presently i am penning down a book..its almost 25% done....or lets say 25.33% to be presice ...haha..
But presently the most important thing i am doing is sipping my hot coffee...well, its really that important for me.....actually every moment that brings a smile is precious...
I think im done for today with that last sentence...See ya later...( if at all any ones reading ..lol!)
Bye.
