Talk to me

I can look at you for hours,
It feels like you want to speak to me,
Sing to me and share with me stories of your past.


I keep waiting for you to talk,
but always find you soundless and quiet.
Are you making fun of me or playing with my thoughts?


I see you staring and showering smiles at me,
I see them all the time.
But, is it only me or you keep fooling all?

My Inspiration- the old man on the street.

There are so many things which are not in my control,
which give pain and make me think more.
I wish I had a magic wand,
to take away the miseries and all that is bad.

It's hard to imagine how you live,
it's like a challenge every day in a row.
You have strength, patience, faith and hope,
which I believe is unknown to most.

I surrender, being oblivious to the fortitude you show,
as if I am the only one to have things wrong.
I ask all, to think just once about you,
and Faith will immediately rush back to all.

You inspire me by your courage and attitude,
as if you own everything that I may know.
You made me Grateful for all that I have,
and I pray for you and those captured in my mind.

You give me strength and make me move,
because of you I remember that I have strength.
I want to live and live like you,
even if life gets tougher and harder than the one I know.

Trying my hand at poetry :)

Mind is overpowered by fears,

known yet they seem unknown.

Is it loneliness or my own creation?

I feel lost and powerless,

I cry out and long for someone,

but only my shadow prefers to stay close.

My soul is shattered by the sharp pain

but tears take charge,

the only strength I think, I possess,

Escaping  from everything appears best

But human mind has doors,

which block my ability to reason

my thoughts and confidence give up with me

I embrace the feeling not knowing,

what is it that I have just gained.

Busy like I have never been.

Hi everyone,


Sorry again for not being able to write for this long. I have never been so busy before. And I'm not enjoying being so busy :(
But yes, I'm enjoying my internship at Hindustan Times as they have given me the liberty to write stories on the social changes taking place in Noida and its villages. It's fun to explore the villages and write on some exceptional changes that have taken place there.


Also, I have my exams for literature (distance programme) starting from 5th April , so after work I have to cope up with its huge syllabus. By the end of the day, I am so exhausted and I feel I should just focus on one thing.
From my personal experience, I have a suggestion to make- don't go for two courses ,be it distance or regular, at the same time. I am not able to give my best to either of the two. I should have gone for the distance programme sometime later, but I thought my love for books will make it easy for me. But, I have realized that I love reading but that is different from preparing and giving exams. I am totally enjoying reading all the plays and novels. But I am not getting enough time to prepare for the exams and this is making me nervous.
Still, I am one of those people who don't give up till the end so I am trying my best to overcome my fears and nervousness. I hope I get through these exams. Trust me, I have never been in such a situation before when I just want to pass the examination! Its going be an experience. I am happy to accept what comes my way. After all, so many things happen for the first time in everybody's life! :D


Cheers!
P.S. Enjoy the World Cup Final tomorrow! BTW I am wearing BLUE to support India..are you? :)

Just a few more days to go!

Tuesday, 20th January, 2011.

I am extremely sorry to write after so long. As I had mentioned in my last blog that I was going out on a trip to Pondicherry and Mumbai with my friends, teachers and college mates. I had a great time. This trip was also more interesting because I had never been to these places and then I was going out with my friends.
I had planned to dedicate a blog to this wonderful trip but I have been busy with my internship plans and then I had some extremely difficult time where I didn't feel like writing, reading or going out. I just wanted to be all by myself and do things which required no effort. But I will soon be writing about that too.
As of now I am waiting for my internship to start. My friends have already started with their internships and I am still waiting. I am watching a lot of movies these days as it requires least effort from my end and I am enjoying it. Maybe I just want to be away from the career I have chosen..I don't want to write for a few days..lol
Just a few more days for my intership to start so let me be lazy for a few more days :P
I hope things start soon and I will share my experiences here both good and bad. :)
Wish me luck! I need it badly..:P

My fear.

Thursday, 9th December, 2010.

I had planned that I would write this blog on some interesting topic but then I changed my mind. I know sometimes it is so easy to change your mind: P

A few friends of mine do it all the time..haha..sorry..but its true!

I think, today their symptoms were transferred to me.:O

So, in this blog I am going to talk about something serious. Now please don’t stop reading. It’s not that serious but it is something which I feel like sharing.

I am referring to some changes which are about to take place in my life.

My college life is about to get over, which is very sad :(

I am going to miss my teachers who have been fantastic both in terms of teaching and encouraging us and most importantly I am going to miss the fun of being with friends.

I loved being with my friends even if it was the most boring lecture.

I remember my cousins telling me that college is the best phase of everybody’s life, nothing can be better than college days. I can so much relate to what they said as I miss my previous college and friends really badly but I don’t want to go through that feeling again. :(

Soon we all will be interning in different places.

I have no idea about where am I going to intern but all I know right now is that we all will get separated and then we will have to work really hard. We won’t get much time to be together and have fun; even meeting each other would be difficult.

I am sure we will have make friends there too but the freedom, fun, and enjoyment we have here will be impossible after we start working. The field which we all have chosen will make us into complete workaholics! Pheww!

I want to stay in this phase!

I know that is not possible as we have to move on with time. And yes, I also want to see myself in a place where I have always imagined being. I want to learn as much as I can and be independent. I have always wanted to experience that feeling of being independent. Now, I am moving closer to it but still I am going to miss my college life.

Now I think I should stop thinking about future or I will not be able to enjoy the last few days of my college. I want to make the most of these days so that I can always keep such moments with me.

After giving this a thought, I will stop thinking and will make sure that I have a great time in Pondicherry where we are going together as a college on this 16^th.

I hope I get over with my fears and not allow myself to think so much that I miss the present.

I am relieved as by the end of this blog as I have made up my mind of enjoying the present and not thinking about my future. I will move with time.

Please feel free to express yourself. I would love to know if there are many people who think like me or if some people have different way of looking at this.

Thanks :)

Winter Killings

While I was reading today's newspaper, I came across this news about two men who were found dead in Chandni Chowk due to extreme cold weather. 
Since a week, the temperature at night has gone down to 10 degree Celsius.This makes it really difficult for the homeless and poor as they do not have warm clothes or a place to live in. They have no option than to sleep on pavements and roadsides.
They already suffer from poor health conditions as a result of which they are an easy target in this cold weather.
The number of homeless people have risen after the Commonwealth Games as many slums were demolished to clean the city for the International event.
The worst thing according to me is the indifferent attitude of the government. The government is completely oblivious to their existence. 
The government is relaxed thinking that it is enough on their part to open 64 night shelters for the homeless.
But let me remind them that these night shelters can accomodate only 10,000 but the number of homeless people in the city is estimated to be 160,000.

I want to request the government to please help the homeless as they themselves can't afford anything on their own.  Please save them from this cold weather by helping them all find a place in the night shelters which have been brought to existence to protect them. It is the government's duty to help all people, irrespective of their class and make sure they have a decent standard of living.
