A lot can happen over a night

  Paritesh (or chacha as we fondly call him) or should I call him Mr. Paritesh now, was once just like us i.e. unemployed childish, and above all a bachelor. but it all started changing when chacha decided to get married. Now it is almost impossible to draw analogies between us and chacha. Our friend is officially employed, no more a childish boy but a married gentleman.   So the day for the finale was decided by the concerned parties to be the 22nd of June possibly unaware of the historical significance of this date. it was the 22nd of June when the famous Hand of the god goal, scored by Diego Maradona in the quarter-finals of the 1986 FIFA semi-finals match between Argentina and England, ignites controversy. later on, this was credited to be the goal of the century. Another significance being during world war 2nd in 1940 on this very day France was forced to sign the Second Compiègne armistice with Nazi Germany. many years down the line chacha was also going to sign some sor...

I had prepared a rough draft about what things I will be suggesting for this month for you all to watch read and try but the Deaths, destructions, apathy, misery, struggle, helplessness, lack of oxygen, beds, medicines combined with simultaneous lack of accountability responsibility morality, and empathy do not allow my conscience to write anything other than what's prevailing in the current times. It will be remembered as disastrous bookmarks of our modern India and we the millennia are witnessing this.  A Quick five-minute surfing on social media will make anyone nervous, the volumes of SOS calls for help, the pain of boys and girls grieving for their parents will break anyone's heart. it is nerve-wrenching to watch people of my age struggling to breathe and more so struggling to get their parents an odd hospital bed. I wonder how does one get the courage to bear these tremendous griefs. The parents cremating their young ones goes against the natural order of things.it is per...
