The Pensive

Firstly my aplologies as I couldn’t read book for long due to some personal tie ups .I finally decided I should post a  review for Blogadda as I crossed the dead line already. I started reading but was stuck with few issues. I had to go on an unplanned trip, was sick for a week, had job interviews etc so as there was lot in my plate I couldn’t finish it. Even now I feel I wont be doing justice to the review as I read it in a disturbed mode and as I was asked to submit by EOW(End of the Week) I picked up ‘The Clockwork Man’ by William Jablonsky with great enthu as it is of scifi genre which usually is not my cup of tea. I previously read Time line by Michael C richton  and I don’t remember many short stories I read. I for sure remember movies like E.T, wall- E etc .The tagline is catchy “Created to fascinate, designed to serve, until he broke free”. This book is about Ernst, a mechanical clockwork man, invented by Karl Gruber who is a world famous clockmaker and Ernst is ...

Was thinking how Great poets write poems on women and how lyricists write those beautiful songs and just gave a try;) Do not laugh at this and once I finished felt like dedicating this poem to one of the most beautiful women ! I randomly li nked the pic with this poem. Do not point facts / logic as it is a POEM :) Read on "I thought its a black pearl shining on a golden necklace, then I realised its a mole shining on your golden face. I thought the sculpture of Khajuraho became alive, Then I saw you dancing classical, break and even Jive!! My heart gave a skip and I coudnt stop staring at you. You ignored me as if I am a false alarm when every bit of it is true!! I lose my senses when you smile and your eyes beam. Holding your hands and being with you is my dearest dream!!” ----  Afshan------

After the recent Guwahati crime felt like drawing this . I shouldnt even call it a crime, actually a heinous non human act which people in our country do and roam around royally and happily as if they have won a gold medal in some stripping competition. Shame on us. Shame on the society who can shoot but cannot stop. Shame on the manliness of people around who were actually watching (enjoying??) the act. Woman can never be safe ! We can only wish that she gets super powers when ever she comes across a monster(s) and faces them . We can only wish. The below hypothetical cartoon just to hope and pray that a day will come when we can attack, when people will actually behave like humans, when a woman mayoppose the crime herself. ! click on the image for better view! (for some reason Image is not clear. You need to open in a new tab or please save and zoom it :-|) My sincere advice to all women around 1.) Please dont go out to late night parties in the notorious spots/ba...
