Who is Alkabir?

Never heard the name before, don’t know much about him, in fact who is he. The genuine question springs up in mind before taking Alkabir’s tales as one of those to be taken seriously as point of pondering or as rubbish garbage to be thrown in the bin after the use.

Alkabir is a pseudo name, an anonymity, a stranger, an onlooker, and a common Indian, who feels happy in good times, sad in hardship, challenged in adverse situation, and want to be a champion at all times. He fathoms the dark side of life and appreciates the bright side of it. His wits and comments are not palatable by all. Though he is not an alchemist who could make everyone rich but wishes that if everyone has everything, life would be much easier and happy. He is obsessed seeing happy faces around himself. But, life is not a dream and the reality what he sees through his eyes pains him and makes him express his outburst.

Not that he is all critical about everything. He sees life beyond the rigor of hardship and hopeful about the changes. Alkabir believes in discipline, moral values, societal norms, and in changing times he really feels depressed when someone for their lustful nature violates the old age laid down principles on the name of change. According to him change is not ideal unless it is good for everyone. Change should bring some values; some benefit, and maintain the dignity of human kind.

He is caught in between the cross fire of degrading value systems, moral abuses, and human exploitation by fellow human being. It is here Alkabir tries to examine what hurts him and wants to share that through the internet world. Call it blog, story, narration or his personal feeling towards all the vices with which he is bonded with and that is even part of his own life.
