Updates, Travel, Thoughts & Discussions

I know I haven't blogged in ages and the handful of people who actually read my blog, I sincerely apologise. But I do have my reasons. I'm travelling! From Bangalore to Dubai to New York to Toronto! Yes. That's a lot. Expect a lot of travelogues soon!

Moving on, recently, while I was in Bangalore, my career options dawned upon me. I decided that travel journalism is it. I mean, who doesn't love travelling? And I also discussed all these thoughts with my friends and family. To which many people asked me or told me, "Watch Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani!" and am like...okay? Apparently the main character is a traveler. Yay him!

So 2 days back, I finally watched the movie. I'm not going to review it. But this further led to a more interesting conversation with my sister. I said the movie was ironic as the character who had traveled the most knew less about life than the character who had stayed put in one city. To which my sister added on..."Travelers go and see touristy places; the same place that every man would see. One who stays put in a place knows every corner of the city...they explore the unexplored and discover something new." Which is life, right? We'd all rather discover something new rather than dwell on the same things over and over.

So that's my post folks. More will come up probably around September.
Happy Summer everyone! :)

The Rape Case

The People;
The lower class, unaware
The middle class, aware but no time
The upper class, aware, have time to protest
But, no results.

The Media;
News sensation, exaggeration
What is the reality?
Blowing out of proportion
New stories: Has Bollywood got to do anything with this? 
Are the media to blame?
Again, no results.

International viewers;
Sympathise, discuss
Look down upon India
It does not affect them;
Again, no results.

Social Media;
Endless RIP tweets,
Sharing n number of notes and photographs about the case
Organising walks and protests
All lasted for a few weeks.
Today? Hardly anything seen on my newsfeed.

What’s the point?
Was justice served?
Was it served despite all these expressions, protests, walks, news, reactions, discussions?
What really happened?

R.I.P, the woman who fought, the woman who awakened India with her sleep.
