revolution_is_just_not_enough

I am in complete isolation, for a year now and now it's really getting difficult with each passing day,esp. amidst this uncertainty of Covid! I am an extrovert person, it's really hard to deal with this and continue studying! Plus three of my family members are in essential services, so they go out everyday to work. Due  to which,they are extremely vulnerable to this disease this adds to my tension.!   So,I have started doing few things to divert my mind: 1. Learning French- I wanted to learn this since my college days, esp. when I read french revolution and came across those words, failing every single time to pronounce them correctly. 2.  Writing my blogs! Yes, I started this to overcome the burden that isolation for me has now become. 3. Playing 8 ball pool! I am improving! Trying new angles.  Hoping that all this would soon subside and I would give my exam,and everything will be normal again!!!!! French Alphabets!

This sketch was gifted to me by my teacher cum friend Abhinav Goswami when I was leaving Delhi. He is an artist, a philosopher and a true friend. This sketch,according to him, represents ME and his philosophic mind explained this. I will try to present to the explanation  but without his carefully used vocabularies.! (I am not capable enough to replicate the same🤣) So, in the sketch, the sky in the background represents the soft side of me, how I am generally visible to everyone.But the stones at the front represents me from inside. Me being as strong as those stones.  So,according to him, I am an amalgamation of both- harshness(or boldness) and softness.  Well, I have forgotten a lot of things which he mentioned along with this. This is all I could remember now. I am not in contact with him since June,last year. Will surely, meet and ask him the explanation again!

Again in news is a historical event which took place during British rule : 'Mappila/Moplah/Malabar revolt' I read about it in history books of mine and the sequence of events that took place were as follows: Moplahs : descendants of Arab traders became dependent on agriculture, turned into cultivating tenants(landless labourers) land was given by ruling rajas to Namboodri Brahmins and chieftains. (which became their janmam rights) Land revenue was equally shared between the three. Under Tipu Sultan and Haider Ali, these land ruling classes fled and their position taken up Moplahs (became kanamdars) Under British rule, Jenmi land tenures were recognised while these Moplah peasants were rendered landless.  1834-36, 1882-85, 1876: uprisings took place against British and Hindu landlords,  1921: Moplah uprising took place but this time it merged into larger Khilafat Movement taking place in the country. This lent a religious overtone to the movement and it turned violent. It als...

Today is my birthday! One of my friends asked my wish for the day! I proudly said, I don't wish for anything, I achieve it! But now that I am quiet and was introspecting, I found that my wish is to become a better person with each passing day!  Despite this being in my hand is still away from me. Knowingly or Unknowingly, I always do things I might not approve of had I been writing an Ethics answer! I want to own all kindness and altruism one can possibly have! Yes, that's my wish for the day. Unachievable yet Doable all time!😇😇😇 AND apart from my family, these two are the people (in the pic) who inspired me to become what I am, and inspires me to become what I am not(but want to become)!!

These days, there are three things I am extremely worried and tensed about. ☹️ 1. Nepal-China-India relations-- Repeated provocations and associated turmoil. 2. Sushant Singh rajput's Suicide 3. My failure to do certain things in my life. Nepal-china-India relations and India's position: I have always been against Imperialism and it's associated legacies. India like many other former colonies is a  free country now. But it's an irony that things that are creating turmoil in a free country is based on 'colonial lineages'. Be it Sagauli treaty between British India and Nepal or Aksai Chin region and Macmohan Line or for that matter India-Pakistan(again a colonial legacy) border disputre. All are products of Colonial rule. Thus, even without colonial chains we are in chains! This is not limited to India and its neighbouring countries but to every former colony. This really makes me frustrated!!  Next in line is SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT'S suicide: When I was on Inst...

I don't know how can one be so selfless! My mom gives me unapproachable goals everyday! I constantly feel that before emulating anybody I should try to emulate my mom's dedication.....🌝
