Unwritten Path: My Journey Beyond The Pen

I have stopped romanticizing the idea of pursuing a career in writing. For the longest time, I wanted to share my words with the world. Off-lately, I've come to realize that i don't really have much to offer.

What I thought was passion, was a phase, which passed away. Reading is imperative for a writer and I hardly do it. It is the most basic exercise but i just don't feel like doing it.

I have been advised so many times, by friends, family and even colleagues, to let go of the lethargic attitude and focus on the task at hand. But, those words fell on deaf ears.

For the record, I am a journalist. But this was not a deliberate choice; it was more a twist of fate. This realization alone explains a lot about my current state of mind.

I remember reading once that 'when we set sail in search of our life's work, we must first look for passion. Not fame or rewards or riches, but a willingness to quietly do our work'.

It appears my search is far from over. This is what I choose to believe, at least for now.

When you encounter people who've dedicated themselves to greater causes, it's inspiring. Their stories motivate you, and you find yourself walking their path, aspiring to be like them. Yet, in this pursuit, there's a risk of losing your own identity.

This journey, filled with inspiration and confusion, leaves me pondering my next steps. Maybe the search for my true calling is just beginning, and perhaps in this quest, I will discover more about myself than I ever knew.

What the CJP won and Amit Shah's gamble

A joke became an identity. An identity became a protest. And a protest, dismissed as an online tantrum, forced one of the most powerful governments in modern India to retreat. That is the short history of the Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP. Born in May 2026 from six sarcastic words posted online, the movement travelled from memes to Jantar Mantar , from ridicule to repression, and finally to a ministerial resignation and promises of systemic reform. In barely ten weeks, it achieved what established opposition parties had often failed to do: it converted diffuse youth anger into a focused political cost. But movements are judged not only by the moment they break through. They are also judged by what they do after the breakthrough. CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke has now demanded the resignation of Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the police action against protesters during the July 20 “ Sansad Chalo ” (“March to Parliament”) rally. Other senior CJP figures have backed holding Shah...

The internet built the Modi era. Can it also disrupt it?

The BJP mastered social media to bypass traditional gatekeepers. Now, young Indians are using the same digital space to challenge its narrative and overcome a culture of political fear. The BJP understood the political power of the internet before most of its opponents did. Social media allowed Narendra Modi to reduce his dependence on traditional journalism, speak directly to voters and build a political image that was everywhere at once. Online campaigns did not merely promote the BJP. They helped create the Modi era. But the internet does not remain loyal to those who master it first. When the weapon changes hands Young Indians are now using the same digital space to question authority, ridicule political messaging and turn private frustration into public anger. The Cockroach Janta Party, or CJP, is the latest example. What began as an online satirical response to a judicial remark about unemployed youth soon became a rallying point for anger over unemployment, examination paper lea...

When protest becomes content: Who speaks for Jharkhand’s job aspirants?

Social media has drawn national attention to alleged recruitment-exam irregularities in Jharkhand. It has also complicated the question of who represents the affected candidates. Thousands of job aspirants marched towards the Jharkhand Assembly on August 10, turning a state recruitment dispute into a national story. Reuters reported that protesters crossed barricades before police used water cannons, tear gas and batons. Police said some protesters became violent and that only limited force was used. Protesters accused the police of using excessive force. These accounts remain disputed, but the clash marked a sharp escalation in the agitation that began on July 25. Behind the dramatic footage lies a less visible fact: the protest is not led by one unified group. The protesters allege irregularities in examinations conducted by the Jharkhand Public Service Commission and the Jharkhand Staff Selection Commission. Their main demands include cancelling the 14th JPSC preliminary examinatio...
