My Trysts with the Golden water.

It all started with a sip that I was once offered as a kid, I still remember a transparent glass holding that divine golden water, off course I was told about the medical properties of the above discussed liquid and its deep impact on the throat and stomach. Yet I chose to sip it rather then gulping it down in one go.
The first encounter as I remember wasn't a pleasant one for a kid of my age, and that first sip burnt a lot deeper than i thought it would. Never the less, my second encounter came a few years later and again as the medical properties were discussed and the golden liquid was offered following the similar pattern. I again chose to sip it and this second sip wasn't the same for this I felt the divine taste more refined for a brief moment.
Following years came and I became more and more familiar with the golden water enjoying it feeling the divine magnanimity that would give me a high no other source could offer, the mystical lightness and the trance that followed, who wouldn't want to embrace such an experience so rich yet so humble.



Years later the golden water became a daily friend who would be besides me every time, the charisma of the golden water was such that it lured more of my fellows who religiously participated in experimenting the divinity. However, an year later the peaceful bliss that existed with the consumption existed no more.



The tranquility and the bliss full companionship now turned into a volatile and impulsive aftermath. Though the serene effect was gone but we all tried to regain it back with religious devotion towards the liquid, yet every time the consequences were same. The liquid had turned into a source of rage and arrogance, the pride that followed would often lead to chaos resulting in several of the comrades loosing their teeth.


The devotion didn't seize, We all fought back the demons that had corrupted the divine drink, The battle that followed left us wounded and bruised, yet there was no sign of a victory for the devil had more than we could defend.
It's said that every battle between good and evil can be won by a pure heart, and so it was a fellow disciple who saw the reason none could see. It was he who discovered the origins of the evil, for it had come with the malice in the heart of few who wanted more than they could have.

The insight of that comrade led to a immediate change in the battle plans and victory ensued.
For, now you know what evils it may bring if you wish for more than you deserve. The peace at last reigned again but, with a lesson to all of us to consume it with peace, generosity and responsibly.



Cheers to all and Drink responsibly for you might not want to invite the wrath of a hidden evil. :)







Hannibal the Cannibal and the chill in the spine.



It begins with a movie called Red Dragon, Initially I took it as just another movie on Pshyco Killers or Serial Killers. However, it wasn't what I predicted, the movie was more than it met the eye initially and the plot got me glued till the end. The movie ended but, the effect of one particular character was magical. I was so engrossed by it that I researched on the topic and came up with two more names, the sequels purely focusing on the character that had left me in an awe.
First, The Silence of the Lambs and second, Hannibal and by now no more prize for guessing the character of Dr. Hannibal Lecter, I must say the suaveness and the sharpness of the character is unmatchable. The chilling effect with which he manipulates and gets into the head of his audience was appalling.


The concept of Cannibalism was something new for the audience and the finesse in the character of Hannibal Lecter was refreshing, a perfect anti-hero, who manipulates with the mind of the best assigned to imprison him. The character also portrays a sense of love and compassion yet fierce and horrific ruthlessness.
The very words he spoke had such preciseness and yet had so many hidden meanings, I must say I was impressed by the acting, direction and the eerie feeling. All in all a complete package worth watching.
