Divided we stand, United we fall


Every time I travel in Indian Railways, I wonder had British not ruled India for 200 odd years could we had such an amazing gigantic railway network. 

Of all the things they have looted us off, Railways is one of the precious gifts given by the British Empire.
But, nothing ever can beat one thing they have instilled so deep into the veins of our political system. The policy of “divide and rule“. 

A time tested, invaluable, simple tool which has worked amazingly in favor of every successful political outfit, every leader and the governments in power. 
No lessons learnt

They divided Hindu‘s and Muslims, worked for them, stills works for most. Then people tried to divide Sikh from most of us. 

And this policy, still persists deep within our system. Dividing us on languages. Asking questions “Mumbai kiska?“ to people who have dreamt of Mumbai all their life. We are divided by rivers, dams, mountains of all the things. 

And just when the nation was uniting with a cause to fight against corruption. Then BHAM. We are divided again. When the issue to be discussed has to be corruption, we've been divided by the politicians again by diverting the topic to reservation.

Well played.

POLITICIANS - 1 : INDIANS - 0

Back to Heaven [Photo Blog]

Eight years ago when a dark, lanky, shy guy entered this place- scared stammering and taking attempts to speak-out his name, home-sick frightened scared that if he can survive forget, four years, next four days. 
And to this day, who would not miss an opportunity to visit this place many call Heaven on Earth. 
Let the picture do the rest of talking. 


Where it all begins

Heaven on Earth

Many call it Home

All the action

I would even kill to get back here

I will always be equally proud when I say, "My College"

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

We ruled this place

Path way to Heaven

The only place which made me feel, YOU DON'T BELONG HERE

Nostalgia 
Thinking of it, what is there in the place which changes lives to drastically, does it  have super natural powers to control people in its vicinity, I fail to get the real answer, but for my version of the story it's the people I've met here who have made the difference, made me realize my talent, taught valuable lessons all through the journey. These were my friends who have made BMS my HAPPY PLACE.
