Thinking Thames with Mark Twain

Me:  Thinking of visiting Thames.
MT:  Why? thinking Thames?
Me:   I have to compile long hoarded poem,to which i wish 
         to title as"By river Thames I sat and wept"Thames    
         has been my childhood favorite.
MT:  girl why go Thames for weeping,for past 10 months    
         there has been Thames itself in your eyes.
         Day and Night 
         just Thames flowing in your eyes.
Me:  wish to rhyme
        eyes flooded with Thames
        burning amidst  flames
        lies were all the tall claims
        this is the reason for inking 
        rhymes so insane..
MT: Girl stop it!!its getting wackier,you are a  
       contemporary ink-smith ,don't give way to 
       childlike rhymes.
Me: this pain is insane.Sir when i started writing poems
       those were few lines ,full of rhymes.
       but now there are full lines,with few rhymes.
MT: lets give it break.
        Paulo coelho already wrote ' By the river prieda 
        i sat and wept.' don't go by his title.
Me: He just made them sat,they didn't cry the way i do.
MT: oh! you are the loudest weeper.
Me: and the solitary weeper.
MT: why don't you get tears -patent in you name .
Me:  that would be so tearful for others,they will tear
       me apart.
MT: Modesty..
Me: By the way did you cry this loud for something?
MT: No, baby,I was drunk enough!!
Me:Yes with exams on my head ,i too get drunk.Wish the 
       University took their innovation program seriously 
       than conducting exams after every six months.
MT:God made the idiot for practice and then he made 
       the school board.
Me:your satire and wit drive me crazy man,    
       unfortunately you already dead.
MT: Did you forget your Pulitzer dream??
Me:Pulitzer
      Pull-It-Sir  for me,too lazy i am this time.
MT: then surely after six years you ll have Pulitzer
        in your pocket.its the laziest who are flexible to 
        discover,hard-workers become too stiff to move the 
        world.
Me:well, i have to go and compile,
       By the river Thames I sat and wept  
       As if in my life,nothing is left!! 
MT:I my age writing was sacred,i made it colored.
Me: these days its too sorry scenario,instead of counting 
       blessings ,we count our 'likes'.
MT: All the best for The Thames and Tears.
Me: by the way roof terrace is not all bad to sit by and 
        weep...Thames...wait little longer!!

Death of reason and logic:Age of Post-Truth

"We, as a free people", wrote late Serbain American playwright Steve Teisch "have freely decided that we want to live in some post-truth world" in an essay in the Nation magazine in 1992. The essay was in the context of the Iran -Contra scandal and the Persian Gulf War. The author would not have even the faintest idea that almost twenty-five years later Oxford dictionary, on November 12, 2016 will make ‘post-truth' the word of the year. 'Post' here doesn't mean ‘after' but suggests to the time when truth becomes insignificant and irrelevant. Thanks to Brexit and the results of US Presidential elections –this failed media prophets and others in the field of psephology. However, had Oxford University paid heed to the India around and from 2014, the word Post-truth would have found its place a few years ago only! In 2014, Media machinery projected a man who hitherto was nowhere in the picture, as the "leader", the country needed on it...

Why history lessons were boring in schools?

We were not taught (told) history as it was. History lessons dealt with dates and events only, history was always about kings,wars,victories and so called larger than life things. We were just told who ruled us,for how long.We never came to know about common man's life,may be it was not worth writing or documenting(it is still not worth it,only politicians make news). History books never had chapters of North East India and its contrib ution to Indian freedom struggle.Conflict regions' making and history was never made available rather they were just called resource abundant regions. Rise of right wing (radicalisation)doesn't find mention either. History books have been agents of lies and deception. History writing is often used as tool by state to deceive it's citizens,so that the truth and facts never come out. Whether it's America,India or Pakistan,their school history lessons are self congratulatory. Currently state is busy in bringing 'In...

Nightingale got no prize at the poultry show

Einstien,Twain,Edison were born out of class, before the text proceeds , I would like to say here 'class' doesn’t mean the structure with four walls, one door, two windows, one teacher, books and the pack of chained students. Here class is the niche of brilliance, freedom, discovery, imagination and invention. I wish to have education system that forges humans with brain and not machines with grades. As a student .I always wondered, how one can go about saying two plus two equals to four? Without anyone questioning why? Just because our course book said so. Why in history "dates and events” were asked? When no one taught us the resemblance to the days which we live in. Why for learning anything new, we need old books instead of new ideas? Why make notes in class, when the brain is blank and ink in copy left no hammer on thinking? Why teachers ask us to learn by heart, while it is the mind that is required to do so.? Even Winston Churchill had a dig at his tea...
