On my way to Manila once on a trip I chanced upon a very astonishing view. This was a trip at night in a plane and as I was looking out on the window, like others, staring down on the city lights, I chanced to change my view to the middle. 

In this view there was a reddish hue, suggesting that of the city lights, shielded off in the middle would be the faint gray clouds, and on top, the dark night cladded with stars.

Just like everyone during the first week of January, I chanced upon an article on the newspaper and on the internet, and even news broadcasts declaring that the Tata Nano is officially released to the public. I took my usual curiosity to gather all information I can with regards to how the car looks and its specifications. 

The Tata Nano is amazing value for money. The car is quite good for its price. It is a practical car, it is slightly smaller, with a smaller engine, and has been kept bare of anything that would make the trip more comfortable. But like previously stated, is good enough for the price. 

I have witnessed that there is some sort of universal laxity in many countries when it comes to how they are being administered. Many of them do not understand that they are parting off with a third of their salary for public use from which they can benefit, but later on do find themselves not enjoying those facilities due to it not being at par with their own needs. 

Many third world countries suffer inadequate medical, educational, and infrastructural facilities. When one looks into the budget of that economy, they do find a significant investment on the military over anything else.

There was once a humorous story teaching the Indians about the stock market. It was a story of a man from the city going to some alienated village and telling the farmers that he wants to buy monkeys for Rs. 10 each. People started grabbing monkeys all over their village and sold it to the merchant. Later, the merchant says this is not enough and is now willing to pay Rs. 15 per monkey.

It is the first time to be put inside a mental asylum. With all logical hope of explaining squandered to mere simpletons in proving the case, there is nothing left but to stare at these walls.

These walls, staring back with their padding. Always being watched, even when isolated, with its false sense of security sarcastically surrounding as if it is a bubble from reality, protecting the occupant from the outside world, or is it the other way? 

"Ever been put in that scenario where you stare at the mirror and imagine a horrifying figure behind you while you brush your teeth? This scenario of the person looking at you just as soon as you spit the toothpaste and look back up the mirror, the image floats for 2 seconds and goes away. 

You imagine this just after you have watched a movie with a similar situation. If this image happens frequently enough, the next image you see in the mirror might either actually be real, because you channeled it, or you have thought about it so frequently it actually blurred the line between imagination and reality."
