Its All in the Brand, Man!

Sorry guys, i know i was kinda late to update...

Its All In The Brand, Man!

"Damn it dude, that's fake! Not original!"
"What's the difference?"
"A lot man! Fake football jerseys are.... not cool!"

A common conversation among my friends. "ManU's jerseys are made by Nike." And if one buys a ManU jersey which may have been made by some local sports company, then it's a fake one. Yes, it is fake. I agree. But is there anything wrong if you don't have original, branded stuff? Actually no, but among friends, yes. It's a matter of 'status'. If you buy fake, then YOU are fake, uncool....
What is the need for one to show off what they have? No need, but that's not what we kids think. These days we're too image consious. And the image that's in is being cool, being a guy who can rule over others. So, only buy branded stuff AND don't forget to show it to your classmates even if you don't need to bring it to school. There are guys in my class who have Nike schoolbags, Nike Footballs, Nike shoes, Nike jackets, Nike Caps, and Nike Water Bottles. Later we'll see them having only a tick made of hair on their heads (yeah, i may be overdoing it a little).
The worse part is, they consider guys who don't have branded stuff as cheap, stupid kids. Doesn't even make sense, does it. There's one so called 'poor boy' in my class who is the target of every other boy. They keep on pestering him, blaming him, making fun of his 'status' and other stuff like.... better not to say. All I can do is watch. I kind of know, even if I act..... there would be one more guy in their hit list. (i'm kind of hopeless, you know. And I'm scared)
Is this a problem with girls? Do they also care about brands? I'm clueless. But, anyway, boys do think they are a lot tougher than girls.......

Independence Heroes

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Mahatma Gandhi sounds better. The father of our nation. He who gave us independence. The great soul. May he rest in peace.
And how could one forget the others, The other great freedom fighters including Bhagat Singh, Chandra Shekhar Azad etc. That's it, isn't it. Isn't it? Why do I have a feeling i've missed to mention something? What could it be?

Were these the only people. Did these freedon fighters fight alone? No......
The common man of India also took part in the struggle. Hundreds of people took part in Gandhiji's movements. They gave him support, strength. And maybe, most probably, India would not have got freedom without their help.
Man rose their voices against the British, but only those are remembered which were given by the more popular leaders.
Do not the others also deserve respect? Of course they do! Without them, even our greatest leaders may not have been able to do what they did. Hundreds helped them to fullfill their dreams. Then why are not they famous. Many will say they did not raise their voices as much as the leaders did. But the leaders.... what they did was raise their opinions, the opinions of people. Am not I right. The leaders voice, was the voice of the nation as a whole.
I do feel it's a little unfair you know.
But there's another fact also. Who knows? Maybe these people did not even want respect, fame. All they wanted was freedom. Nothing else. Maybe they did not want their names to be written in Indian History. That is another great quality of theirs.

So, finally all I want to say is.... DO NOT FORGET, THE NATION WAS THE STENGTH OF THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS.

Happy Independence Day!!!

The War

Swords clashed together. Shouts. Screams, horns. There was total havoc. The dead lay strewn on the ground.
The Black Army was winning. (Nobody really knew why they clad themselves in blue....)
The Black Army had already conquered most of the part of the land called Teenbrain. Only a small part of Cerebrum was left. And soon, that part also would turn black.
The Red Army, though small, was fighting the foe bravely. They did their best, but they were not enough to defeat the Black Army, who's sole motto was to ban studies forever. The whole of Teenbrain, once, was totally against this. But now, there was no choice. The Black Army was too strong.
The foreigners, known as Hormones were also supporting the Black Army and helped them to upgrade their soldiers. Nothing could be done. The land of Teenbrain was destined to be doomed.
The Red Army was falling short of soldiers. The had to lose. All the leaders- Hope, Happiness, and Confidence, all were no more. All had been killed.
When everyone started to think that it was all over, a miracle happened.
With a majestic entry, the greatest of the leaders, Sir Determination, entered the battlefield.
The whole battlefield shook at his arrival. The Black Army, for the very first time, showed signs of horror. One could easily see the fear on their faces. The Red Army cheered. Sir Determination rode his horse down the hill, drew his huge, shiny sword and attacked the enemy.
The Red Army suddenly gained a new type of power. Revenge was bubbling inside each soldier. Bravely they joined Sir Determination to attack. The enemy fell like toothpicks. The land of Teenbrain could be saved. Hoorah!
The soldiers fought for hours together. We can do it - was all that was in their minds.
Sir Determination's sword was now red. He fearlessly fought and fought. No one could stop him. But little did he know that a petty little Shadow Archer was following him with his bow and arrow raised. He was so well hidden....
Sir Determination and his horse rode towards the peak of Hill Nerve. The leader of the Black Army, King Evil, sat there watching the battle.
The Shadow Archer stopped. He took aim..... and let go.
All other soldiers could hear his mighty horse neighing in pain. sir Determination, quickly jumped down his injured horse and beheaded the archer. Then he heroically ran towards King Evil.
Nine more yards.... eight more.... Six more.... three.... two.... one....
This was it. There he was, in front of King Evil. Evil's bodyguards were quickly killed. King Evil gave the knight a sly smile.
Swords were raised and another battle began. It went on for maybe hours or more. But later, both became tired. Soon, the winner would rule. Both charged at each other for the final attack. There was a sound of thunder as the swords clashed together. The battlefield fell into silence.
Sir Determination was facing King Evil. Both were equally injured. But, suddenly, King Evil, fell down on his knees.
The Red Army cheered as they had never before.
But wait..... why was King Evil smirking?
Sir Determination fell flat-faced on the ground. The sound of the 'thud', as he fell down, could be heard all over Teenbrain. All was over. King Evil slowly stood up, raised his swored and shouted out a war cry.
What can Teenbrain do now?

(There may be a sequel.....)
