Another honour killing in the backwaters of india-for a change,this time it wasn't in haryana or UP,but in Jharkhand.Journalist Nirupama Pathak is murdered...just makes me wonder does the surname,or rather caste of a person is more important than his life in india??
WHAT’S IN A NAME..??
It’s just a means of addressing those whom we don’t know personally…
For addressing near ones,much better terms are in place,
Yet,it’s amazing how much importance we attach to a name…
As if we all are a pack of jokers,with our names being our only ace

Standing for an election…
Keep in mind the most important criteria,
Which is not your proficiency as a public servant…
But the number of people with whom you share your surname in your area

Unknown people suddenly become buddies …
Because they share the common surname,
Befriending people from other communities & ‘so called’ castes…
Is what they consider a social shame

On the other hand,two people with everything in common…
Understanding each other better than anybody else ever may,
Can’t stay together for life…
Just because they pronounce their respective surnames,in a slightly different way!

One guy commits a crime…
& several others pay a heavy price,
Because sharing their surnames with the former…
Is their only vice!

People may achieve a lot of progress…
Garner heaps of wealth,name & fame,
But it’s all of no use,If they don’t stop asking each other…
“may I know your surname?”

ya khuda...aameen!!

Dil se nakaami ka har darr kafoor kar de...
Meri kamzoriyon ko mujhse door kar de...
Bahut gir chuka hoon aye khuda,ab shayad toot jaoon,
Gham toh mere humsafar hain hi,thodi khushiyaan bhi mujhe manzoor kar de...!!
