Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did You Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. You mig...

The Nuclear SHam


*OMar Abdullah, The young and Handsome Mp
of the national conference, gave one of the most passionate and best speeches in the parliament on Tuesday.But my point is, he said he will vote with the government because of the Babri Masjid case,
2002 Gujarat riots and the amarnath yatra.
I tried my level best to connect all this with Nuclear energy and its debate but failed.
ALso he voted along with his arch rival the PDP
True, he stood by some convictions of his, but i expect more intelligence from an intelligent and young MP.

* When Vajpayee was the prime minister, I remember, a scam broke out.It was the petrol pump allotment scam.SOmething like that.Our prime minister stands up in the parliament,cancels all allotments, and makes a clear call on the issue,immediately.
Our new prime Minister, Mr egoistic Singh as i refer to him, when saw the bundles of notes being waded around, at least could have stood up and said.
"I will get the matter investigated deep.In the best possible manner."
But he is mr ego. He couldn't say it.My question is, would he have lost a lot if he would have given an assurance to the country immediately.WHo is guilty or not guilty is a secondary issue.

* IN there defense, Amar SIngh calling the MPs as prostitutes of democracy or whatever he was calling, referring again and again to bed and who slept with whom. It was filthy.You say you are a social worker.A social worker doesn't use such language in front of the national Media.
Ahmed Patel, defended himself well.WIth full dignity he addressed the media, and said he is ready to face any inquiries.

* The prime minister is so eager for the nuclear deal,that he never took parliament into confidence for such a crucial pact.Only when his government was in minority he came to the parliament with bought Mps.
On the other hand, The deal will only get passed when the united stated congress passes it.
I think its India which is more democratic country, then why our egoistic PM behaved in such a fashion, when he knew there was a lot of opposition to the deal.Why was he evasive all the time.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
