I'll Always Love Spider-Man

You know why I'll always love Spider-Man?

I love the fact that he's just a kid.

I love that he has superpowers, not the ones that made him the "Web-Slinger" or a "Friendly Neighbourhood," but the part where he self-heals.

That is what I consider real power - Self-healing.

I wish we all had that power.

He can heal from any kind of physical pain. That's why he's never afraid of any danger. He's always ready to dive in and save people.

But when it comes to emotional healing, he doesn't have any powers there.

He has to do it like a regular human. Endure the suffering. Shed tears like a weak little boy. Deal with endless heartbreaks. Lose people he loves. And still have enough courage to wake up every day and be Spider-Man.

Go swinging into every Brand New Day, saving the city, saving people, some of them who even wished he was dead. That's the "Great Responsibility" he owns along with his "Great Powers."

And that's the curse of being Spider-Man. That's the curse of people who love Spider-Man.

The mirage isn’t real, the moon isn’t near, the hope, probably feeble, and life, certainly terse. A verse, has to be written to tell a story. Because this fairy tale, is getting gory. You wished for a smile, and walked through the isle, you wished for the reveries to come true. A fine friend, you expected. A flawed foe, and a marred knot, you got.

Giving up may not be your forte, and winning may not be mine. Deprived and devoid of love, we live together, waiting for tides to change, waiting for a sign from Above, waiting for the impossible, waiting for a miracle.

Where’s the Middle Ground?

If you are a middle-class man and married recently, there must be an incessant turmoil going on in your mind. You must be thinking, “why me?” There were times when nobody cared what you did, or said. But now, after you are married, everyone questions your decisions and actions (even inactions). You are blamed for posing a “changed” (read, spoilt ) behaviour and it is basically not you – it's because of YOUR WIFE, who has drastically changed you as per her convenience and necessities, just because you are like clay in your thirties. Anybody can manipulate you and make you their slave, right? That’s the intention of every marriage – to enslave all of “Man” kind. The mother-sister combo tries that for a particular period with all their love. To some extent they succeed without any resistance from you. Because, you too love them back equally for everything they did to you, right from your birth till your marriage. Now that you have become their most prized possession, it is nearl...
