The Mind & Heart Speaks....

i wish every morning when i watch the news or read the newspaper, there are less reports of deaths, mishaps and accidents; but more than anything what i most pray for nowadays is not another news of suicides being committed by today's youngsters. from a child of class as young as 8th to a bright smart college student, it just seems to be the trend of the day just wonder what makes them take this extreme step, how they are driven towards it, i am just full of shock and dismay. from not passing in exams which matter least, a fight with someone known or stranger or simply showing that you love someone, the reasons are unbelievable and manifold, but how can anything be so motivating for someone to make him give up his life, lo and behold! be it the overload of information via the media or the lack of love and care but something like this needs to stop, before the situation goes out of control. the simple fact remains that kids today are growing up faster yet not mature enou...

plight of trying to be c.a's...my sympathiessss (have been trying to put off writing on this topic for long..but today just cannot resist...) how would i feel if i am a student entering the exam hall knowing that "fail toh hone ka chance full on hai", ,how would i feel if i am an examiner and i have been told to flunk as many as possible, keep the bar tooo high, check too damn strictly and the future of the student rests in my hands?? welcome to the world of this famous, wanted, crazy, profession called  C.A...THEY SAY its the journey that matters towards the end,,true because this very journey seeems just never never ending ... today in the morning the c.a. result came out.. once again hardly 15% would have passed..i had to check the result of my friend ...one good news was it was my friend yashaswini's birthday today and she messaged me that she had cleared finally..was very happy for her...and then i typed random roll numbers and all i saw was fail..fail..fail.....

read and liked it.. Cruelty has a human heart, And Jealousy a human face; Terror the human form divine, And secrecy the human dress. The human dress is forged iron, The human form a fiery forge, The human face a furnace seal'd, The human heart its hungry gorge.

last night was an amazing spectacular show organised by the south africans.. ofcourse everyone was awaiting the final match but the closing ceremony preceding it was worth being in africa and watching.. the use of lights colours graphics technology the way the show had been put up, i was just wondering what would india be doing when we have the commonwealth games here in delhi this october.. the state of affairs as it stands, on every road in delhi, there seems to be some construction..something dug up, or something about to be dug up.. metros, flyovers, road bridges, subways, so on and so forth.. visit the heart of delhi c,p someday and you would give ur eyes a shock..is this the connaught place i used to come to? would be the first reaction.. and then i wonder, is the government spending all its time and money on the display or is it even making sure we have a team of young and fit sportsmen and women who are going to atleast try and win some medals? after all we are  the host n...

IF ONLY... it was a rainy day, she sat by the riverside, on the cold wet grass facing the shining blue waters; the soft breeze making her hair sway, the light drizzle forming on the face small water droplets. it was almost evening, the sun bidding its goodbye for the day, it was looking beautiful; but her mind and heart were choked, as if she could see nothing in front of her even though it was so wonderful. she looked at her hands, at the small piece of paper crushed into tiny pieces which they now held; if only..if only she could go back in time and undo something, if only this one last chance she had. just a few minutes ago, he was here,standing in front of her her heart beating faster than before; it amazed her, even after so many years, his presence had that impact, still gave her goosebumps for sure. seeing him generated a hope in her heart, maybe it would all be good and work out somehow again; but god had other plans, in moments she would know she would never ever see him a...

'A Dream..I Lived...'                       -wrote on 30/09/04 One day in the dark, as i was sitting in my room, All alone, all lost, in a world of gloom. Thoughts of the future, and of the past, Cropping up in my mind and were troubling my heart Felt as if my whole life was losing its meaning, And was making me doubt the purpose of my living. All depressed, and totally shattered, I began to cry, and nothing anymore mattered. Just then i felt a touch, a hand that wiped my tears, And appeared a face, I had not seen in all these years. All shining with a radiant smile, he came closer to my ears, And slowly whispered, 'forget your doubts and your fears. Do not worry my friend, as I am there.' And there I was, standing motionless, Taken away by shock, and completely speechless. And before I knew, the beautiful face vanished, It felt like a dream, a dream i lived....

this one is dedicated to all my friends at clc, law fac north campus.. today in the morning before coming to office, i decided to pay a visit to the college to collect my marksheet..had been long since i had seen my campus so i left early morning and reached college by 10am.. as usual the office was closed and the concerned person had not come yet..met up with a few friends, chatted with them and while i was sitting near the nescafe area, the past 3 years started to flash in front of me.. it struck me that i had spent 3 whole long years coming to this very college every day, changing all sorts of modes of transport possible; from bus to auto to metro to rikshaw to car to walking, it used to be a mission coming here and then being told that the teachers had not turned up or just sitting outside and not entering the class without any reason whatsoever.. on one hand it feels that this time went by tooo damn fast, on the other hand it appears that oh gosh so much happened all this while.....
