IS IGNORANCE A BLISS?

-

 


I don't want to target any practice or belief
But I definitely want to point out the flaws,
Which has crept into the mind of everyone
And based on assumptions, they have made laws.
The meaning of religion is to be righteous
Not to snatch the rights from any,
Not to waste what you have in plenty
Just for the wish of acquiring many.
Putting restrictions, forcing to convert
These don't stand well with the definition,
And when someone fails to follow these
You force them to pay for salvation.
What you have imposed in the name of love
Is pure hatred, in the mind and the brain,
A mind that remains of no use further
Nothing productive comes on the gain.
Some force you to shun your pleasures
Some force you to pray five times a day,
Some convert you without your will
All their backgrounds are none but grey.
And when something goes wrong in the events
We blame our luck and visibility,
But what we can't even understand is
Everything is but a probability.
Praying and slaying don't make you a hero
Even robbers do that before they rob,
People blame fate and destiny and shit
But never concentrate on their own job.
And in recent times, things have gone so bad
That even films and media are affected by it,
Governments are run on doctrines of the holy
And in place of good, one can find only shit.
On castes, you divide, on religions too
What pleasure do you get from all these?
What pleasures do you get by snatching freedom?
Do you do all these for your lords to be pleased?
If you are born a human, then why don't you
Question your beliefs and question your deeds?
Why are you following without a doubt?
And why are you accepting all that you see?
Are those humane? To fast and spend?
But not give them to the needy?
Offering them to the stone idols
And their representatives, so greedy?
Are you happy to wage a war
Just because they don't wear a burqa?
Just because they wanted to study and be wise
And work hard to go long and far?
On colours, you fight, on clothes, you quarrel
Have you all seriously grown?
Can't you understand how precious is peace
That in war you bomb and are blown?
In temples, you waste tons of flowers
And waste, water and food,
Do you think that's very right and admiring
And you are doing some good?
And whenever your logic is overpowered
By few words of rational thoughts,
You raise your hands and give our curses
As garrulous as empty pots.
Learn to be wise, men. Learn to love
Learn to maintain some peace
I know still its folly to make you wise
But is ignorance a bliss?

FROM THE OTHER END : PART 1

      Adi went to bed very late that night. Luckily, the next day was Sunday. So he could peacefully sleep for a long time. But wait. You guys don't know what he had actually done. Neither did Adi himself know. Well, before jumping into his weirdest works, let me give you a brief heads up about this talented guy and his works of talent. Well, I am not making any sarcastic remarks here. Adi indeed was talented. After all, he was a student at the prestigious Cambridge University. A brilliant student with an exceptional brain in Quantum Computing. Legends claim that he was previously a hacker who used to hack around for noble causes. Like the deletion of thousands of vulgar content from the dark web, targeting and bankrupting paedophiles and transferring that money to welfare organizations and NGOs, being completely hidden. Although there has been no strong evidence to prove that but his daily lifestyle proves the claim. Adi is a typical nerd. He gets up late, rushes to his college, g

THE CYBER FRIEND

  THE CYBER FRIEND Lucifer     Life is an amazing journey. No one knows where they are going to land. Some earn unbound fame and some become latent depending on time, situation, and state of mind. But the fact is, no one can predict or know in advance how it is all going to be. Some say that is the fun about life. While some feel a bit more comfortable knowing stuff beforehand. And sometimes life itself plays it mesmerisingly        It all begins with the lockdown of 2020. The world was served miseries by China's first authentic product, the Novel Corona Virus. This had a great impact on the entire globe, snatching jobs, causing discomfort, unbound number of infection cases, and deaths. Those who survived were living in trauma. Relative, friends, and loved ones were lost, governments became bankrupt. On one such remorseful evening, Ranveer went up the terrace and stood quietly. Suddenly a call comes and he rushes down to attend to it. He sits by his laptop and completes the projec

Mission: HAYABUSA

  MISSION HAYABUSA --- Lucifer     Once someone rightly said, "If you want something from the very bottom of your heart, you will definitely get it someday. Maybe later, but for sure." Love too follows the rule. Separations can come, and hearts might get broken due to certain scenarios. But if you stick to your faith in love, you will find it one day.       As Perman was leaving for the Bird planet, Pako was waving goodbye, along with her colleagues, Payan and Booby. But little did she know that the departures would be so painful. That night, when Pako sat on her bed, removed her Perman set, and turned into herself, into Sumire Hoshino, she began to feel a queer pain down her heart. She felt as if something was missing. She took her Perman badge and was about to make Perman a call. But then she remembered what Birdman had said. "You cannot use it for personal purposes. You will need to use it only when you are in an emergency and need backup." So she refrained from
