Democracy!

The very basic definition of the word 'Democracy', that I had learnt in my school was that it is a form of government which is, "of the people, by the people and for the people." This definition was given by the late U.S. President Abraham Lincoln.

The thought of democracy brings me back to reflect upon the recent Vidhan Sabha elections in Delhi. The elections that changed the very notion of politics this time, with the results not only becoming the cutest surprise to the people of Delhi, but also acting their rhetoric best. With the Aam Aadmi Party(AAP) in Delhi taking away all the seats less three, there was a lot to cherish for the Delhites when their own party had formed the government. In the recent times when I would meet the auto-rickshaw wall's in Saadi Dilli, I would always be taken for a thoughtful escapade. The campaigners for the 2 year old political party were not coming in laal batty cars, but from anywhere in the heart of the city to the nooks and cranny of the city.


When I look back at the past two-three months, I can understand how the people of Delhi showed greater interest in politics than ever before in the history of Indian politics. It was showing, how people of Delhi were fed up of the breeze of corruption eating upon their bread and butter. This time the definition of democracy was given another chance in the reality. Well, I don't want to sound so much in favour of the new found love of Delhites in the AAP, but I am compelled to sound so, because the election results show that. So, does it mean the win of people alone and not of any party? Yeah, it's what the message goes out, that the public doesn't vote with closed eyes, but they are well aware of the reality of the politics of today and how it is affecting the country, and its future. Let's hope, the public's faith is addressed with honesty and transparency on which the party ideals stand. Long live democracy!

a dream that was, and that ended.

i was dreaming,  then i saw her face, that glittered as she saw me, it was her soul, dancing in the sea, asking me for all the love, while, i denied her, of what belonged to her. it wasn't that we didn't love, each other! but simply,  that it wasn't in my hands, i was fearful, and it wasn't, in her hands,  because she couldn't, make me understand. it was tough time in short, for the two of us. winds flashed in the meanwhile. then, out of my reverie, out of my dream, i looked at the sea. there i found the sun, gleaming back at me, with a powerful face, of consolidation, over my lost love, of which, i could only get a glimpse, in my dreams, while, i kept my glance at the sea.  gagandeep singh vaid

Definitions of love~

It had been a warm day, not that it was about the summer season alone; but also because I had a pleasant day since morning. The last day at a work-assignment is always meant to be special, starting from the nostalgia that strikes—to saying the final byes to other fellows at work, it can be sentimental too, for some.  "Would you come again sometime?” She asked me with curious eyes. “Yes, of course. I will come to see you all, one day again.” I had said, changing the emphasis from her, to everyone in the workplace.  “Nice!” Saying this, she got lost in her cabin; knowing that I had been lying. At last both of us were free. Free from letting love hurt us anymore, we would be free birds in the coming days. No longer waiting for each other at the train station, and going for lunch together. I had told her, that you will find another friend who could be as good as me, or better; but she always said, that the spaces created by me would always remain empty.  This was jus
