Conspiracy it was & Conspiracy it is….

It was insane on our part, but you know, there was something special about that night, there was some conspiracy on the part of God that made that night prepossessing, made that walk prepossessing.

Do you remember!

The clouds that hovered over the sky when the minute hand and the hour hand intersected at number twelve, the moon that played hide and seek; the drops that fell on the dark stretch of road, the wind that hit hard on the face, and the stray dogs.

The fingers that brushed your hand and the hesitation to hold it, the sweet voice of yours, and your beautiful eyes.

The indomitable silence, the never ending highway, and the muddy water that made me to hold your hand sometimes.

The endless talks, your smile or to be specific; your laugh and your face that gave a soothing effect.

Surely a Conspiracy it was….

I honestly don’t know!

It was the moon or the rain, it was your hand or your eyes, it was the muddy water or the silence, it was your smile or your face, but it was something else, something unusual about that night which made my dilemma to overpower and induced me to ask one question to myself,
“Is this the right time?”

And you know, every cell of mine is searching the watch which could say,
“Go Man! Your time has come. Confess her”

It feels like, every moment is conspiring against me.

Surely a Conspiracy it was and Conspiracy it is…

Are We Sensible?



“I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity” ~ B.R. Ambedkar



The above quote by the Father of Indian Constitution summed up everything in one line. Read it multiple times and try to understand what he is saying? He said a heart wrenching line for all the people who are still entangled in the shackles of religious conflicts. Every religion teaches the same thing that he quoted. But one question that comes to my mind a million times.

Are We Sensible?

Do we try to understand what the holy books teach? Either it is Bhagwat Geeta, Quran, The Bible or Guru Granth Sahib. They all teach us the same thing and they tell us to follow the same religion termed as “Humanity”. 

As Dalai Lama said, Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.

Love and compassion for everyone is something Humanity teaches. Every day, we malign the name of God by engaging in religious conflicts. The temples, mosques, Gurudwara or the Church are constructed by humans but we humans are the creation of the almighty. If we are shedding blood, then it’s obvious that we don’t value his creation, but we value our creation which is nothing in front of Humanity.

We are even worse than a 5-year-old kid who doesn’t create differences between the people and treat everyone equally. We are not sensible enough to understand the harsh reality that we are destroying Humanity in the name of God. The reason we don’t try to understand.

As Quran states, “Blood for Blood”

Do we even know what it means? We interpreted it wrong that if someone sheds our blood, then we also have to do the same.
It means that if we shed someone’s blood, then God will pay back your sins in the similar way.

So try to understand what holy books and holy places teach us, they don’t teach us to fight; they teach us the language of love, kindness and compassion. So, don’t create differences and follow only one religion that is “Humanity”.
