things have changed.

happiness has given way to frowns
and smirks

curiosity had been followed and
trampled by reality.

moments have been kidnapped by hours.

things go on, just the way it should.
side has changed.

Silver lining

After a long long time I am here.

It's not that I don't have anything to say or share, it's actually the other way around. I have too much to share. Things I have attained, opportunities I have lost. New people who have come into my life, old ones who have walked out. Joys and of course the setbacks.

Yet there remains lots of topics that may not touch me directly but causes deep anguish and pain. You might think it's outright stupid of me to think of such but thoughts are beyond control, right!

Recently a friend of mine has started an initiative to spread awareness about victims of acid attack. Happy, hard working, girls with dreams for a good life, ambition to make it big have lost almost everything due to some crazy animal of a man and his screwed thinking. In fact it is unjust to label them as animal because even animals don't attack you unless they are hungry or scared for their lives. 

These men most of them are jilted lovers who know nothing, absolutely nothing about love. Their bestial nature completely overpowered the humane sensibilities and made them wreck the lives of girls/women they said they loved. 

Since their respective attacks, the only place these girls can visit is hospitals as their friends, neighbours, relatives have stayed away from them. 

On the other hand there is a silver lining too. I recently attended the wedding of a colleague. She belongs to a rich family but one where girls are still married off at 18 or better 19!. To come from such a background and make her career in a dynamic and field like media is surely an achievement; not just for her but even for her family who accepted her ambitions and supported her to strive ahead.
