Mediocre Perspectives

Today Though he had a lengthy discussion last night, Vignesh was still finding it difficult to do it. It was in his hands, with the underside facing him. He could see the delicate stream of hooks all along the border. The mask had openings for sight, smell and taste. It was so delicate and he wondered once again how it could perform something which his friend has guaranteed him. He closed his eyes and slapped it on his face to avoid anymore second thoughts. He felt a slight tinge of pain on contact but then it felt normal. He looked at himself in the mirror. He didn’t find any difference in his face. He headed out to know for himself whether this invention really does what his friend meant. On reaching his office, he again made sure that there aren’t any signs on his face that he is wearing the mask. A sense of hate usually pricks him when he enters the cabin. Because on his way, he has to cross two of his team mates cabins that he has always detested. Nevertheless, a false...

The door was opened on the third knock. He entered as soon as possible and the door was shut behind. It was important that the air doesn’t get in. His dad was relieved to see him. He tried to smile, but he couldn’t. He has been finding it difficult to smile at the elders since his teenage, since the days he realized what the elders done to his world.

Years of inhaling polluted air has terribly weakened her lungs. He realized that he was at least lucky enough to at least earn much to buy sophisticated masks which could reduce the effects of pollutants. His dad brought him a glass of recycled water. He took a sip. He knew that his mother can’t survive longer and his d...

With 24 th May IPL would have completed 8 years. It is widely accepted that even BCCI would not have dreamt that IPL would become an insurmountable giant in 8 years when it was launched against the rebel Indian Cricket League which, has lost its relevance today. The T20 championship has brought a lot of opportunities and threats not just on the cricket field but off field too. Gainers and losers: The IPL has helped many sectors which revolve around cricket. The media has grown a lot due to the IPL, since they gain a lot by the advertisement revenue and some channels in television and FM conduct special programs on IPL. It has definitely boosted the revenue for the cricket grounds which do not earn much by conducting first class cricket matches. Hawkers who usually struggle to make ends meet cash in on this opportunity to make a decent living in these two months by selling sports merchandise of the franchises. Even musicians and dancers have a greater audience t...

I will try and achieve the pinnacle of perseverance and hard work. - PM Narendra Modi in his speech in the Central hall of Parliament on May 19,2014. It has been a year since the NDA government assumed office. It is agreed that one year is short for analyzing the performance of a government since the first year is mostly a continuation of policies of the previous government and at least three years are necessary for a concrete outcome. Nevertheless, the last year has been quite eventful to guess where the gover...
