Life as it comes

Met someone special, who thinks I am the best
Who thinks I am better than the rest
God please put some sense in the person's mind
Coz I have always been behind the rest.

Though I am not like the rest
Speaking my mind at the slightest behest
But I have learnt to be docile
To see every face I see has a smile.

Smile that is not pretentious
Smile that is not nimble
Smile that is infectious
Smile that makes other people smile.

Be kind to every kind
That's what I try to follow
And when I expect other people to do the same
They find the notion difficult to swallow.

Self retrospecting every step of the way
What I have been doing
Found that even though I am trying my best
People are still speculating.

Someone has rightly said
More often than not we are always afraid.
Afraid what people might think of our actions
And we end up not doing things thinking of their repercussions.

But someday we will have to take the leap of faith
And just do what we feel is correct
Things may still be not in place
But at least one will be at peace and let everything resurrect.

Hoping against hope
That things will fall into place
And even if it doesn't
I will still fight and try do my best.

When I realized

It was last Thursday,
When I realized..
That all these days
You simply lied...

I was taken aback,
Shattered and broken..
I trusted you completely
But my whole world was shaken...

It made me wonder,
What did you gain out of this?
But a bigger question lingered
Who was I to blame you for this??

I was broken,
That was my fault..
You never said you loved me
Who was I here to revolt?

You were right when you said,
That you lied because of me..
But how was I supposed to react
When I myself was lying to me...

Lied that I was happy,
Lied that I was still alive,
Thought that you still loved me..
Thought that we still shared the same old  vibe...

The problem was with me,
Too much expectations I had..
But why was I expecting so much?
As there were no strings attached...

As I speak of shying away,
Back to my normal small world..
You keeping knocking at my senses,
Trying to take away the leftover world...

I may still give you a chance,
Chance one more to lie to me...
Because I still love you the same way,
Because you still mean the whole world to me!!

But this time around,
I won't be shattered from another lie..
Because the heart is already broken,
Another lie won't easily defy...

Just hoping against hope,
That one day you would love me back..
But I probably won't be around,
To hold you and love you back!!!

Trip down the memory lane...

It seems as if it was yesterday, when 6 naive freshers directly came up from their safety cocoons, uninhibited with a thought of making this world a masterpiece and ready to paint the entire world green.
We were always intrigued to see Software professionals flashing their shining cards around their necks roaming freely in the malls, buying and wearing all fancy things. But really, little did we know that these flashy things would become the death traps around our necks. Each tag around our neck made us more answerable to the company that we were working for, and less responsible to ourselves.
It was quite a fun when our career started, we were all happy and gay, trying to learn with whatever was thrown at us like obedient and responsible employees. We had fare share of our fortune, the best part that got out of our professional life was the friendship that groomed to become one of the strongest in our lives, and some of us went on to become good TT players.
Then came the time of our separation, one by one the stems of the tree started falling paving way for the new ones to step into our shoes. Slowly and eventually the tide of time took us far apart. We hardly get the time to speak to one another, but deep down our heart we know that we will always be friends and time will come when our friendship will bring us together again, so put on your thinking caps guys and gals(only Neha), start up a venture of your own, do some brainstorming and recruit all of us, we will be back again, the old self, rocking and realize our dreams, paint the whole world green...
Kudos to all of us...way to go guys..

What happens when......

What happens when the world suddenly comes crashing down, and you have nowhere to run? What happens when a person is always surrounded by people is send into aloofness? What happens when the people who matter most in a person's life hurt you the most and you cannot go to that person because it was that person who has given you all the pain?

Don't put your thinking caps just yet, but the above story is mine. I am the person who's whole world came crashing down when I was sleeping, just imagine and I couldn't even make a move. This all started when I changed my job. I thought the offer was lucrative enough to take, but this thought never crossed my mind that the stakes would be so high and I will be at the loosing end. Life without friends is like man without limbs. Staying away from wife made me realize how much I love her but couldn't muster enough courage to tell this to her face that she means the world to me. God give me some strength so that I can make her realize this that I love her.

Staying away from friends adds to the misery of a man who ventures into unknown lands and tries to explore new things all alone. Slowly and eventually friends become such an integral part of life that when they are not around, it creates a void space in your life. I know people will argue that what happens when a person leaves this world for heavenly abode, one doesnot stop living, yes I too agree to the fact but then a person does not live without that person, they exist with their memories. I don't know what I am writing, but I just want to say to all the people who came in my life to make my life beautiful or hell, I miss you all....

A very favorite soundtrack of mine which sums up all my emotions are something like this...
"what brought us together might remain unspoken,
what held us together, might be worn off and broken
even if your way was different, as I felt was mine,
now I want our paths to cross, waiting for my time..."

Who's Responsible?

Very recently the Indian Democracy saw one of the most coveted and fierce battle between the Government and the people wherein the victory went to the people and the battle was fought without taking the law into the hand. In simpler words it was again Ahimsa that reigned supreme and the results brought huge uproar into the lives of the people and generations to come for Indian Republic. Well yes I am talking about Mr. Anna Hazare, 71 yr old man fighting not for his own self interest but for the masses and the generations to follow. If everything goes according to the plan of Mr. Hazare then corruption will take a back seat and again we will have a society wherein truth and justice will prevail.
But amidst all the hue and cry and celebrating the victory one thing that we are forgetting is the reason why this movement took place? Corruption is there, and it is everywhere but have you ever given a thought from where does it all start? Well it is none other than us who help in corrupting our own society and when we find another person using the same measures that we took, we can't stand that person and then all the problems start and we sit for hunger strike to divert the Governments attention towards us.
Right from standing in a queue in a Temple where there are thousands of other devotees too waiting to get a glimpse of the Almighty and take their blessings to the long queue to get forms for a competitive examination from any government organization we try to make our way through and get the first hand of everything. And how do we achieve that? Well your guess is as good as mine, the easiest way, through corruption, and in that process we only blame the officials who are taking the bribe and people are least concerned that the fault also lies with the person who are bribing. Traffic policeman catches any person breaking traffic rules, first thing that comes to mind is pay the police some amount and get away from all the pains.Filling IT returns where in for saving taxes people provide all sorts of fake bills, then where does the conscience of the person go, but yes if somebody is sitting for a hunger strike to fight against corruption we will be the first person to join him or her and shout at the top of our voice shouting anti government slogans.
Nothing can change this society until and unless we are clean, until and unless we stop corrupting other people, until and unless we stop blaming others and take responsibilities for making a better environment to live, and if we don't change ourselves no such movement will bear fruitful results, and then again few years down the line we will have to go for another movement bending the rules that we earlier made to suit our interests.....

Save the Big Cats, But How??

Well to say the least, and one would think how we can go about and create a difference, but do you really think that blogging,texting and taking out rallies will create any difference to the poachers, your guess is as good as mine but then what can be done to help make a difference in this cause?
Thanks to Aircel we know now that there are only 1411 Tigers left in India but what else? Is this the same scenario over the world?

No, people out there are more realistic then the one found in India. when the poachers are killing the tigers for some good reasons God knows what, there are other people who are buying the stuffs made out of the catch.

Facebook has a community save the tigers, join the roar and do u think the poachers are going to the cyber cafes and give a damn about the roar, they are making merry out of our misery right, wrong!!!
When a poacher is caught committing a crime, what do we do? We run a case against him which lasts for around 10 years or so and later the criminal is acquitted of all the charges due to lack of evidence.
The whole bloody system is a crap, and i ain't no different from it, all hypocrites good for nothing block of honchos.
Shelling out some money from the purse will mean as if life has been asked to donate, we people will gossip, talk about it for few days and then will again make ourselves busy in our own cozy world.
Its time to raise and take action.
Government make it mandatory, when u can shell out crores and crores of rupees for the National Security, cant it shell out some thousands for the big cats.
Rise people, rise for a cause, but atleast see where the cause will lead to??
Be smart and think rationally,
save the cats before its too late and then we will have nothing but dna generated rats taking place of the real cats!!

Amen.....
