My heart's agony

Never realized what i had,
till that last time, wen I had become sad..
Heard a voice , calling out to me,
looked around, but no-one I could see... 

Confused and tensed i searched around,
but that painful voice cud not be found..
Then i felt something, something from beneath me,
it was my heart it seems,
telling me to make it free...

Ask did i,what was wrong,
It said that it cant take it any long...
U cant leave me, i did say,
but it wanted to leave, come what may..

Curious was i to know the reason,
Because it was the one who'd support me all season..
Crying and yelling it called me out,
told me how i had hurt it a lot..

It said,
Why do you love,why do you hate,
its not you,who decides the fate,
why do u cry , cant u keep it dry,
its me who suffers,
how much ever I try..

Tired am i carrying all your load,
b'coz i cant see any end to dis road..
You have forgotten that  i am inside,
I am something that you cant keep aside,..

Wanted did I ,to share your pain,
something from which you would always gain,
but never have you,thought of me,
that in what situation I could be..

Hearing that::
Regret did i, about what I had done,
couldn't explain,b'coz reasons were none..
i felt too bad,b'coz it was my fault,
but decided did i , that it was time to halt..

Promising it ,i did tell,
that i was feeling worse than hell..
I told it sorry , and asked it to stay
please don't leave me and call it a day..

I'll be careful ,from now on,
b'coz all my problems forever will b gone,...

Smiling n cheerful i'll always b.,
wont let anything trouble me..

Okay it said, n told me it'll stay,
till the very end of ma day..

that day i realized,
that, there are many around,
people who might always surround,
but the one who will be always with me,
is my beautiful heart, which truly makes me  'ME'...

Hit the LIKE button..

What strikes your mind, when you come across this title?? Definitely, it has to be something related to FACEBOOK, as 'LIKE' is a word that we now associate with this larger than life social networking site.

You want an i phone,  hit the LIKE button. * Only limited numbers available *, said the post.
And like any other greedy human being , i too hit the LIKE, to try my luck.
" One stupid, good for nothing LIKE  to earn a brand new i phone !!!  I could do this all day", i said to myself,
I was really optimistic about my chances and all geared up to see my name written in BOLD letters among the list of winners; when i happened to come across a small line on my computer screen, just below the post.
It said you and 35000 other morons liked this post.

BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reality struck me like lightning and i was back in my senses.

Fooling people is the new trend, and i call Facebook the Fooling-booth. Everything in this virtual world is meant to fool you. Be it posts, or photos, or whatever. You never know the hidden agendas behind these.
Like for example, You see this post which says, 'The end of the World is near !! ' , and out of sheer curiosity you click on the post, to read its contents. Fooled #1.
Now when you see the post, its nothing but imaginary stories of people and their fake theories gift wrapped in a realistic manner, so that you are convinced to the core that the world is ending tomorrow,precisely by 3.35 pm. Fooled #2
 Along with this you also see, advertisements of many products around the textual matter of this post. What are these irrelevant ads doing in this post??
The answer is simple, you wasted your time reading some worthless article, and also helped the post get a hit, which then gets converted into money. For every hit, that a post gets , the advertiser pays money to the guy who posted it, or to the website which has published it. So, irrespective of the authenticity or the relevancy of the content, the only thing that actually matters are the hits !! Fooled #3

Fine, lets just say that there are people who earn out of this, but the issue that i wish to highlight is that, social networking sites are unreal and hence should not be taken too seriously.  People have to be aware of everything happening in and around them and should know the difference between real and fake ..

As someone rightly said,"The first step towards change is awareness. The second step is acceptance." So accept the awareness and move forward !!

My angels - My friends

In the world of Uncertainty,Lost in the crowd was i,
Till a day that did come by, when i could touch the sky....

Little that i ever know, how was it to live,
Came about a people few, who taught me to believe.....

Held my hand, and took me through,
To a place i never knew,
It was a world, a brighter world,
Seen by a very few.....

They taught me to stand up,
And come out of the shadows,
Face the world with courage,
To reach the blushing meadows....

Every step i ever took,
Right behind were they,
Told me to move forward,
Come what ever may.....

Finally the day had come,
When i had reached the top,
And I looked back with a lot of keen ,
But the people were nowhere seen....

Tears dripped down my face,
Because they had forever gone,
But for once i promised myself,
That they'll be in my heart,
I'll live with all the memories,
Of my angels who i call -FRIENDS........

Living The Dream

                                                                         

Chasing my dreams,i went so long,
somewhere i was rite, and somewhere wrong..
The road was rough, at times tough,
The walk went on, through dusk and dawn..
Looking for my destination was i,
the intent to reach there was pretty high,
i had to get there, at any cost,
without ever getting lost...

Met a lot of people on my way,
angels were they,i must say,
walked with me, as long as they could,
more than any other person, would....
Lessons plenty,were there to learn,
after all it was my turn,
to sketch the journey of an amazing dream,
a dream not as easy,as it did seem..

Never ready was i to give in,
had no option rather than win,
i knew the darkness would not last long,
and i'll reach the place i belong..
With each passing day,i was getting near,
finally overcoming all the fear,
of a broken dream,and a lost love,
i was rising high above....

Finally, i was at the end of my road,
it was time to lower the load,
of all the expectation i was carrying with me,
virtual were they,which no one could see..
to live the dream and the life u see,
to become the person u wish to be,
chase your dream,with all the might,
never give up without a fight !!!!!

Frustrations of a Fresher

"You are a Fresher", shouted the man, and threw me out of his office."Experienced Only", he yelled as he banged the door on my face. Gosh, i had never felt so bad in my life.

Everything was happening in an ultra slow motion as it happens in those ever predictable Bollywood movies. I was readying myself to sink into depression when, the alarm clock came to my rescue, and got me out of that nightmare.

Mine was just a nightmare, but in reality there are thousand and lakh's of newly graduated students who are living this nightmare. 

FRESHER is not just some ordinary word from the dictionary. Its a tag given to all those freshly graduated scapegoats like me , who are up for auction in the Job Market. It reflects an advanced and upgraded social stigma of our country. 

Fresher's in India are increasing by the minute, and jobs to accommodate them are decreasing even faster. High supply and less DEMAND, is where the problem lies.

All we cared about were the exams and grades. 

We failed to understand terms like a slowdown, recession or pink slips.

And finally when we do understand these terminologies of the industry and decide to wait patiently for a lucky break, a new problem crops up.

The problem is our society and the people around us. 

How do we answer those questions that are shot at us, by our friends, relatives and society??

"Hey, i heard you passed with good grades, no job offer yet?" asked our neighbor aunty.

(This is the most courteous way of KILLING someone with your words)

Ouch !! that did hurt. But i was ready to take her on. Had already played a prerecorded answer for this question a thousand times. So i say" Aunty, i sure am getting lot of offers, but am waiting for the right one." BOOM.. And i win hands down, at least for the time being.

This is what happens, day in and day out, till you get your hands on to that precious offer letter.

Throughout college, we worked hard day and night, to notch up those all important grades and graduate with flying colors. We always expected those top companies to be waiting outside that gate, to take us, and give us the best possible salary. 

This is what a normal Indian student expects. Its a Dream, a beautiful one. But as we know, all dreams may not come true. Reality is a bitch, and when it strikes, we are left with nothing more than empty wallets. The fresher of today, has got no respite. Its a struggle till the end. 

But as u know , if there is a night , there will be a day, and with the HOPE of a brighter tomorrow, the patient wait continues ......................

THE STRUGGLE

 

Life is a journey, moving are we,
No one will know, where someday they would be..
Life changes, so do people along,
And someday you will realize , where you belong.

  

As harder as it can ever get,,
Each day you'll face a tougher bet,
To stop or to walk is your call,
Someday you'll stand, on others you'll fall.

  

People will come, People will go,
Someone a friend, the other a foe,
To hold or to let go is always up to you,
Choose only the very best, be there very few.

  

You were alone, alone you will be,
Life is that journey which you'll have to foresee, ,
The struggle was always here to stay,
Face it standing come what may…

.  

So better to dream, better to live,
Never fail to believe,
If there is a night, there will be a day,
The world will be a better place to stay.

  

Keep up the faith, hold on to the hope,
Because there will always be a scope,
Falling and falling you'll learn to stand,

And reach new heights, a better Land….
