A restroom with mirror


A mirror in a College restroom ( Boys) is a rare thing,and it was even rarer in our college.There was one sole mirror in the ground floor boy's rest room,and trust me,that restroom can write thousand stories.Stories which have all the emotions of a human mind,from love to hate to anxiety.
That restroom was a pilgrimage for every guy in the college,a must visit before the start of the day and after the day ends.Even people from third floor used to come all the way down just for that restroom,or on their way to the canteen.
It has seen people standing there in front of the mirror for hrs. trying to get a perfect look to impress "Her".It has seen people crying and washing there face when their heart got broken or they got a ATKT in exam.It has seen the nostalgia of that last day,when people are queued to get their tie knots right,with a tear in their eye.
"Budding romances",when a guy used to come in front of mirror after every ten minutes just to see if his hair is rightly set,or if his face is not having any mark.
During Exams it used to perfectly capture all the anxiety and during the sports week,it was a place where war strategies were made.
Its walls had numerous things written on it,from love confessions to abuses.Things which the tongue refused to say in front were captured in that "Canvas".

My sincere tribute goes to that historical place,for being such an integral part of every male students life.

Politicians divide the nation,terrorists unite.


Why do we always need a sacrifice to bring revolution ? We always need Bhagat Singh,Hemant Karkare or Major Sandip unnikrishnan to sacrifice their lives,just because we are sleeping.
Few decades back,it was the Britishers,who were trying to divide the nation,so that they can rule.Now we have politicians who are doing the same thing.But at least the British
were loyal to their own country.
But here we have a moron who beat up his own country men just because they are from some other part of the nation,and because of poverty migrated to earn their livings.
He claimed that he can lay his life for the people of his state,and when the time came,he was nowhere to be seen.
Instead the NSG commando who laid his life turned out to be from the Bihar regiment.
So for the time it seems that the interstate fire has doused and people are looking united as one country,determined to fight terror.Only the time will tell for how long this would continue.
