Free ? Let's judge random people

I just talked to an old friend after a really long time. A casual conversation which started with "How are you?" and stuff. I don't know how, we ended up talking about other people. This probably is the worst human trait. When you can't think of anything to talk about, you judge random people.

"What a loser ! he's a Justin Bieber fan", "My textbook is more entertaining than his tweets", "Of all the people why is she dating him ?", "She completes all her assignments on time. She has no life"..
Sometimes I feel like saying "TOH MAIN KYA KARU ?" 
For all I know, I judge people all the time.

In engineering colleges, some people use the word "NERD" a bit too casually. You ask a doubt or you score above average marks, you'll hear some voices calling you "nhherd ! nhherd !" (In a deep masculine voice)

Back in 10th grade I remember asking this guy, "Why do you ask stupid questions all the time ?" 
He replied, "Because I don't care what people think about me and I have paid all my fees". 
But still, "Why do you ask stupid questions all the time ?" No, I did not ask that again.

On second thought, I cannot watch a Manchester United match and not judge Ashley Young. I don't think I'll ever watch a cricket match and not discuss how they should have batted or bowled. You plan a mass bunk and few people go and attend, you judge them. A guy comes up with a doubt when the teacher is about to leave, you judge him. If it makes you feel good about yourself, judging people can be fun.

"Inauspicious" to be a widow?

One of these days, I'm going to write a book full of random rules on how to live. I'll be a bit cryptic, to make it seem meaningful and serious. All rules will be in the form of complex poetry. Because, why not? And I'm going to bury the book a long way under the ground. A hundred years from now, some one will find this book. They'll decipher the rules. They'll sing the songs. They'll make some more around it. They'll create another religion. More chaos. Sounds fun right? Or sadist? Last week, I came across this tweet-   "According to the Skanda Purana , widows are more inauspicious than all other inauspicious things " My ignorance led me to assume that "Skanda Purana" is a person, a politician, I guessed. It's actually some religious text. Either way, I'm not surprised with a statement as outrageous as this. I don't have the whole context of it and I'm least interested in knowing more about it. What I know for sure is

A Word Called Basic.

        I believe this should be the most hated word of the century. And that’s because it never lives up to its dictionary meaning. Its dictionary meaning - “1. Forming an essential foundation, 2. Consisting of the minimum required”. It's always associated with something complicated. Almost all students and teachers in this world use the word ‘basically’ probably every time they start talking about something. For instance, when a teacher asks a student to explain a certain thing, the student will always start like this- “Basically its blah blah.. aa.. blah.. aa.. blah. So basically its blah and aaa.. ummm.. blah”. Its time, we should think about some new way to start with, while saying something. But why do I hate this word so much? Is it because I’ve heard it a million times or is it because it’s a part of a subject’s name called ‘ Basic Electronics Engineering ’. Oh, and ‘Basic Mechanical Engineering’ too.         Basic Electronics Engineering: lectures to exams..

India for a Girl

    Time:- 12 a.m.     Venue:- An empty street, India.     Scene:- A young girl and a less-than-innocent looking stranger(a man), walking down the road. In what  way is the girl expected to act in such a situation? She has no idea who the person is, whether he’s drunk, depressed, pissed with the world or just some random guy with no bad intension. Something really unfortunate and disturbing happened in Guwahati last week, which was nothing less than a catastrophe. This made me think, “What is India for a girl?” or “What a girl should expect from a stranger constantly staring at her?” These questions do have answers. And these answers will put India in the dark shadow of hypocrisy yet again. A certain part of an Indian will still say, “It was the girl’s mistake.. She shouldn’t have been there at that time”, while overlooking the 30 odd people who molested her. Why is that, people first talk about ‘the way she was dressed’ or ‘where she was’ or ‘what was the time’? Shouldn'
