A Child ….. No More
The little child stood clinging on to the hand of his father as he tried to look through the crowd of people standing in the front of them. They were all listening to some person, whom he didnt know, standing on a makeshift stage, giving a speech about some other person, whom he also didnt…
“My Name Is Abdul”
He peered through the dim light, around his basement, at the four people hunched up on the floor below, as he sat on the single cot lined up by the wall. A middle aged man with a woman and two little girls. They were huddled in the corner, with the man putting his hands protectively…
Mandir Masjid and Justice
Let’s build a school there. Let’s have a hospital there. Let’s have a University there. HELL NO !!!! India was formed in 1947 when the Laws of India as a sovereign republic came into force. What has or has not happened 100s of years before that has no bearing on…
I Write…. Not Because I hate Modi … But Because I Love India.
The other day I wrote a post about Jayant Sinha being pitted against his own Father Yashwant Sinha and a Gentleman who’s affiliation to BJP is known to me, came and commented on it saying, “Dushman ka Dushman Dost ho gaya :p” (Enemy of an enemy has become your friend) This is not a one…
The Face Behind The Shadow
“Get off the road, you bitch”, he screamed, as he zoomed past the little girl, playing on the road with a stray dog, in his brand new Mercedes S class. “Damn these zopadpatti kids. One of these days they are going to die in the front of my car and I will be the…

I walked into Bholu Bhakt’s house to find Bholu and our common friend Masoom Mureed in a heated discussion. As soon as I entered, Masoom’s eyes lit up. Me: Hey Masoom, long time no see? Masoom Mureed: Bhai, good you came. Tell this Bholu to shut up. Me: About what? Let me atleast understand what…
“I am Neither a Muslim, Nor a Hindu …. I am a Barber”, He said …
So I went for a much needed haircut today. (What!! Shattap!! Thode bahut bache hai baal.) Anyways, since it was around lunch time my regular barbershop was quite empty, thankfully too. There was just one guy sitting on the barbers chair as I entered the quaint little shop. The barber smiled…
Before Modi Arrived on The Scene, I had Never Bothered Much About Religions … But Now …….
Before Modi came on the horizon of India riding on his shiny new Cow, I had never bothered much about religions. I wasn’t raised in an overtly religious fashion and I had little or no interest in my own religion, forget the religion of others. Islam was just another religion and my Muslim…
Bholu Bhakt Protests Against Hijaab, Ends Up Defending the Ghunghat
Bholu Bhakt was sitting in his chair in the front of a rather scared Masoom Mureed, when I walked into Bholu’s house. Masoom usually shuts up when Bholu is screaming at the top of his lungs and this seemed to be just such an occassion. I had heard the words, “BURKHA” and “HIJAAB”,…
Bholu Bhakt Hates Justin Beiber

From What He Could See, They Both Looked The Same To Him …..
As his 8 year old son played in the park, he sat himself down on a bench, close enough to know about his sons whereabouts and yet at an enough distance to not be intrusive. He leaned his head back trying to enjoy the chirping of the birds mixed with the happy noises made by…
