RED

I have to admit that I'm cursed with a very volatile temper, which just starts boiling at the slightest provocation. My old man always say "People get angry only when they are deprived of what they want". There can't be any simpler explanation for our anger. But this anger has become a necessity in the "Country of NO" , where being angry gives you an upper-hand when it comes to face the ire of a mob who's tired and frustrated of fighting a losing battle against the everyday social evils. Somehow it just gives you the jagged edge of a popular "YOUNG ANGRY MAN" image.


Often the discontent just seethes below the surface just waiting to erupt into a rage. The outbursts maybe far and in-between, but when it does, there's no holding back to the monster let loose on a rampage. It just destroys everything that comes its way. It seems like a crimson haze has veiled the vision and the only way out is to resort to a violent outburst. Its just so scary when you think of it on the hindsight. But like a bullet fired, we can only helplessly regret our actions once done.


Its been a long and arduous struggle to control the beast within. Wise men say that if you can control and cultivate your anger then there's no weapon more powerful than a calm man's wrath.
