To Samardeep Singh Banga with Love Hate

I don't want to care where and how and why he went away

I just want to be Selfish Today,

I just want my friend back



He loved Mathematics

I hated Mathematics

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He loved gyming

I kept my distance from those weights

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



His room was the epitome of mess and disorder

I liked my room sparkling clean

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He never remembered where he placed anyone's books

I preferred a prim and proper library

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He liked to zoom and zap his bike and car

I wanted a peaceful pace

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He loved gadgets and computers

I use them all, only for my need

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He believed in his friends; their dreams ; their aspirations

I, at times lose faith even in myself

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He enjoyed the game of cricket

To me, it was just another sport

Who cares

I just want to be selfish today

I want my friend back



He had fun brandishing abusive words at his closest friends

I loathed his habit at his face

Who cares

I just want be selfish today

I want my friend back



He was always cynical about God

My God, whom I devotedly worship and pray; took away Sam

Took away Sam

Took away my buddy

For ever … For ever … For ever


And Sam had the last laugh


But I still don't care

I still want to be selfish today

I still want my friend back.

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...

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...
