Would things still be the way they were?


It was late midnight, for a wonder I was awake in my dark room… (Something quite rare...)
As I gazed to the endless road through my window, I saw the streetlight flickering which slowly drifted me away - in my thoughts process…
I just strayed and strayed as a fat drop of tear fell from my eye…
That night was calm, but I knew that this calmness was signifying the coming of a great blizzard.
I knew that, this night might change everything forever as I hurt a friend who was really close to me…

As I sat down on my bed in the dark room, my mobile phone acted as the only source of light in the entire house…
I held the phone in my hand and began wondering, have I lost this amazing friend??
And at that very moment, another tear rolled down from my eye…

I tried lying down on my soft cushioned bed, but boy!!! I didn’t feel asleep…
I kept my phone on my side table, got my blanket over me and tried closing my eyes…
The ambience sound of the clock and fan was the only source of music that co-ordinated with my movement (of changing sides) on my bed…

After a while, I sat upright on my bed and with great courage picked up my phone from the nearby table…
And dialled the number…
I didn’t know, what I was going to say, neither did I knew what that person was gonna say!!
All what I did is – just dialled the number..!!

As the phone rang, my heartbeat began to slowdown..
For a while, I wondered whether that person was awake as phone kept ringing but there wasn’t any reply..
Suddenly, I hear that person saying, “Hello”

I didn’t know how I sounded but I surely sounded, like a dead body…
“Sorry!!” I whispered; I didn’t know, what to say further, I said, “Sorry once again...”
And I cut the call; I didn’t hear what that person was trying to say..!!

All I knew, I apologized…
Even after this, I didn’t fall asleep…

All I wondered whole night, was would things still be the way they were?

Does celebrity influence the youth of today?

Image
Well in today’s technological era, there is a numerous large number of youth who tend to follow the celebs blindly not even knowing what the celebs are doing is right or wrong. Psychologically, the teens usually undergo identity crisis, where they feel the need to have an association to a particular group of individuals. And this is the reason, why they try imitating the works of their actors, thinking that it would provide them with enormous popularity in their circle. I found an incident, which would support this statement. A group of youth was held by the police for robbery, despite their attempt of escaping on the bikes. They told the police, that they were inspired by Dhoom movie (Where after a robbery the thieves, escape on the bikes). Besides this, the biggest filmstar of Bollywood, Mr. Shahrukh Khan, has been caught smoking on several occasions in public places. Shahrukh Khan is looked upon as a role model of many upcoming actors of the country and doing such a thing i...
