YOU & MY DREAM

One day lying on my bed, I closed my eyes,
I found a white aura spreading in front,
But instead of opening the eyes, I lied blunt,
Someone was culminates out if and sighs,
The shadow was blurred and hazy,
The light started to disappear fast,
I did not want to move till the spectrum lasts,
So I chose to lie down on my bed like lazy,
The figure started coming near to me,
As if I could extend my arms and touch it,
But still I preferred to stick to my bed without moving a bit,
Because I wanted to feel it or at least see,
Suddenly a thought struck me light lightning,
Why I was being so greedy and desiring?
After all it is a dream so why I’m not realizing,
But I really wanted to know what is hiding,
May be I was expecting YOU in the shadow,
Or maybe I was in paradox with reality,
May be I did not want to break moment’s sanity,
Whatever it maybe, my dream was in full flow,
The shadow was getting sharper,
I found one hand touching my eyes,
It felt so real and so very nice,
Oh my god! How can I forget the touch? Never,
This is the touch that is engraved in my heart forever,
It is the touch I always feel when I caress myself,
And it took no time to realize the truth
That it was you my love, searching for me like white feather………………..

NIGHT HAS SORROUNDED

Look at the beautiful evening,
Leaves are flying high without wings,
Look at the setting red sun beyond the horizon,
Birds are heading home after day’s fun,
Look at the mountain’s love for the red star,
It is still caressing the sun being so far,
This beauty is soothing to the eyes,
We never realize when the light glides,
You may believe that our love is like this twilight,
But I have promised to love you beyond the dark night,
I have cared for you like mountains,
I have held you hand to see off all the pain,
I know you are far like the red light,
But I will stand on the peak to reach that height,
I may have to wait for this night to pass,
But my love for you will never die, till I last,
The night is getting darker and the wind is striking me,
Still you are the only one I can see,
Neither the lightning nor the thunder can create the fear,
Because I have kept you like my heartbeat, very near…………..

MY LOVE

Stretching my arms, I was at joy,
Suddenly a breeze came and, o boy
I lost the battle once again,
My all the resilience went in vain,

Faith and patience were my two virtues,
But today I am at gape which one to choose,
Suddenly I look up to heavens,
Dropping my shoulders and hiding my pains,

Why does the happiness leave my hand in hurry?
I was enjoying every bit of them but sorry,
The life never has the highs all the time,
Sorrow has to come to show me the line,

I nurture my love with so much care,
Still I have to push back when I should dare,
May be the time will never come for me to take my love,
Or maybe it is just one of the stones thrown from above,

If this is love then no one should do it,
But for me, I am proud about it,
It has given me so much to feel and think about,
My love has been the best to give it a shout,

So aloud that the rock should break its own shell,
Tears come out even from the forces of hell,
I have decided to sacrifice everything for her,
God give me the strength to follow the decision and adhere,

If this period were short for me to show my affection,
I am ready to love her all lifelong to attain the perfection,
It is hard to understand what I am going through,
But this feeling has been there and it is not new,

I know my love will understand me forever,
Even if she doesn’t say it, she will deny it never,
Oh baby, you were always there in my heart and mind,
But now you are encrypted in every pore of the body I find…..

I WONDER

Whenever I see these stars twinkle, I wonder
Where they hide when the clouds thunder,
Whenever I see the vast ocean, I wonder
What secret they have under,
Whenever I see the rain drops falling, I wonder
Why the earth have so much thirst and hunger,
Whenever I see a tree standing without green, I wonder
What mistake would have caused this blunder,
Whenever I see birds fly home, I wonder
Why the day becomes so soon older,
Whenever I see my life without you, I wonder
How will my world look without amber,
Rainbow is also incomplete without seven colors,
Then why I need to live like this without you my dear,
I've answers for nature's wonderful things,
But why this question of my own life stings,
Eyes look up to heaven for the reason,
But I get no answer even with the changing season,
I've become a rock with a hollow shell,
Without you life is like a temple without a bell,
Now tears have also refused to flow,
May be I am pushing the wall that will never bow,
May be our dreams will never become the reality,
May be our home will never attain the sanity,
But still you are here inside my heart and mind,
And no wonder that I still have your name in every beat I find...

PRIYANKA

Refer to my “social networking sites” post, where I have said about meeting few special people over there. I would like to say about a SPECIAL friend of mine in this post, whom I met in this social networking site ORKUT. I exactly don’t remember the date when I met her but all I remember is that, the day must have been one of the best days of my life. I will never say that this post will say volumes about her personality and herself but it will surely say volumes about what I feel for her and the amount of respect I have for her. People must be wondering that if I’d have written testimonial for her then there’d be more reader reading it, so why I chose my blog. The whole and sole reason is sometimes and for some people you abstract in the place that is close to your heart. And certainly my blog is close to my heart than ORKUT. This post is a small gift to her on her birthday 1st July. I know Priyanka, I have been late in jotting it down but better late than never. So now, without wasting more time on the introduction part, let me begin with the person I want my readers to meet!

Priyanka, I know there is no photo of her with me, but trust me guys she is a female. Ok ok, jokes apart, more on a serious note, she is the one female whom I can say is bit different from rest. There are girls, whom I know, matches with her character but as you know, everyone is different and so is she and so is everyone apart from her. 1st July 1987 was the day when GOD gifted HIS one of the closest creation to her parents. And 21 years later she has proved that the gift was worth having, not only to her parents but to all her friends and compatriot she has shared even a single second of her life. When I first visited her profile, the first thought that struck my mind was “SHE IS DIFFERENT”. But when I saw the place where she belongs, MUMBAI, I was little skeptical about my thought and a second thought flashed across me. I thought she will have loads of “ATTITUDE” factor involved and she might be unapproachable. But to my relief and good luck, my second thought was proved wrong. But I always knew that she is DIFFERENT and I was proved right there. The way she expressed her approach towards her goal, her life, her motive and her expectations from her own life was astonishing. And don’t misinterpret me when I say this. She is not just philosophical but she practices what she says. You can not measure the force of the waves until you stand facing them. And to know the kind of force she is with her values and life, one should know her. Thank god I was strong enough to resist the strong force !!! huh !!!

I can never forget the way she was explaining me the concepts of SAP and then C and then C++. And when I say concepts, it was not just limited to the concepts. There were few things which were flying off my head like high speed arrows. I could only sense that they were coming, never saw them. I was at gape. So, the conclusion I came through that experience was, YES she is intelligent too. Remember the force I was talking about. This was the force coming out of the brain. The first one was coming out of the personality. Mechanics, not only, deals with different kind of forces but here is one female who can give mechanics the run for their money in regard with forces. GOD!! Let me reveal few of her other qualities which I have seen in past 10 months ( approx). How can I forget the discussions we had over several other topics. From spiritualism to sports, from love to life, from girl to guys, from friendship to betrayal, from people to world, they were so beautifully crafted and presented that I still can not believe the way I presented myself. I came to know that YES I can speak and discuss with such a intelligent girl, who can never give up. She got some 91 percentile in her CAT exam, without any preparation and she was very casual about it, and I was stunned. Stunned, just for fact that if a student scores that high percentile in CAT with preparation, one is jubilant but look at her she is so normal about it. Sometimes I get frenzied when I look back.

The times spend talking about her friends, her family, her college, her love, her creation, her hobbies and sharing lots of ideas, are still so fresh in my mind. The moment when she was sad because of her friend’s fatal accident made me feel so proud of her. Trust me, in this world, where no one gives a shit about anyone, here is a girl who’s so disturbed because of it. I am very proud of you Priyanka. People are running like RAT to achieve their LAKSHYA. Life is an un ending race, I know that but we should run like a MAN, like a Human Being and trust me you are doing the same. You are one of the very special people I have met in my journey of life and I would never like to depart from your company. I like you the way you are, pure as the morning dew, subtle as moonlight, heart warming as the sun rays in winter season and a cushion like a strong tree.

I know I am late in writing this abstract for you, but whatever I have written has come from inside, from bottom of my heart. I don’t know whether I have been able to weave everything in this abstract or not but I hope you would like it and the people reading it would like it. And in the end, a small prayer for you, a small wish for you from my side…


MAY GOD BLESS YOU WITH ALL YOUR WISHES…..


I have been fortunate in having you as my friend and everyone around you have been equally fortunate to have you beside them. You will succeed in every condition and in every adversity. Remember one thing, the test of one’s character is only in adversity and prove that you have all the force to drive you out of any situation.


Many many many more happy returns of the day to you….


Happy Birthday ……

FOUR YEARS

4 YEARS OF ENGINEERING…

THIS IS FOR ALL MY FRIENDS, WHO HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME AND WITH ME…. FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SHARED EVEN A SINGLE SECOND TOGETHER… FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FOUND PLEASURE IN SPENDING THESE 4 YEARS… FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE MADE FRIENDS… FOR ALL THOSE WHO FEEL PROUD ABOUT IT….

Four years have just flown away,
And it’s time to begin a new day,
The night we passed was colorful,
The time we spent was fruitful,

It gave us the gift of friendship,
The jewels which we will always keep,
Tomorrow everyone will move from here,
Keeping the memories with him very near,
Life will be different for everyone,
But each one of us will shine with the rising sun,

We laughed together, we walked together,
We have been with each other in bad weather,
Those dances in the rain, those teases in the pain,
We lost nothing but we have only gained,


How can we forget the semester exams,
Subjects were too weird to give headaches to balms,
Teachers were never there to support us,
But we still passed the exams with minimum fuss,


Everything has come to an end today,
But still we are smiling, keeping tears at bay,
This stop is over and we will look for something new,
Because life is a journey and it has to continue,
But these memories will never be forgotten anytime,
We will miss each other from heart and our mind…..

SOME PASSING MOMENTS


When I see these waves roaring,
I feel my heart is somewhere soaring,
Today standing on the wet sand with friends around,
I see a distant ship piercing the sea with a sound,

Ah, our life resembles that sailing ship,
We have taken a very high leap,
But sometimes I think we are still kids,
Trying to collect memories like spread beads,

Someday we will grow up and regret about things we missed,
And smile about the things we all together did,
Time will fly but the memories are there to last,
Future is ahead but this is the wonderful past…..

-AMRIT SAGAR-

the other side...

THE OTHER SIDE

Stretching my arms beneath the sky,
Looking above with my head held high,
Cheers brought by this wind is pleasant,
Love for someone has all the more deepened.

The earth under my feet has been really cold,
I could run down the streets like a blindfold,
I feel someone is showering blessings on me,
Not my eyes but my heart can see.

Someone is holding my hand very tight,
The bond is getting stronger with every passing night,
Wind is getting colder but I am not stopping today,
With my broad smile, I will keep sadness at bay.

I won’t sweat and I won’t get tired,
I want to run so fast that the earth catches the fire,
Fire which has burnt my heart from long,
And today I am with the birds singing the song.

Tonight I will have dreams,
Tonight I won’t scream,
Tonight I will have my smile,
Tonight I will sleep for a while.

For these days I missed my jive,
I missed the essence of my life,
Today I want everything back,
Today I want to amend everything I lack.

I can see the stars smiling at me,
Astonishingly, this is what I can be,
They can say that I have gone mad,
But this is how I am when I am not sad….

SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES AND SOCIETY

ORKUT, FACEBOOK, ZORPIA, BIGADDA, and many more are the social networking sites who are making the mark all around the world. The statement they are making is both exciting and alarming. But as they say, the coin has two sides and one should be ready to see the flip side too. Same case is here with these social networking sites. Making strangers as friends is something which has taken a bigger picture in these past few years. People have faced some dangerous look of it too, as STRANGERS ARE DANGEROUS, but the caravan is still carrying on. Keeping in mind the privacy settings for an individual, these sites are trying different methods to provide privacy to many things. And everyone is claiming to be the best in the business. But before going in deep about the public affection these sites are getting, let us get in the history, from where the term called “NET CHATTING” began.
INSTANT MESSAGING is something which began the revolution in the world of internet messaging. 1960, it all began for the internet users. People began to share their thoughts not publically but with the specific person they wanted to. It was so private that no one else that them knew the subject of their discussion. The effeminate of it being a real time operation, it suddenly became popular among the users. Very quickly the e-mails became formal way of sharing ideas or piece of information and INSTANT MESSAGING the informal way of doing it. The AOL (America Online) was the first one to launch this service. Then came the idea of making some friends outside the existing friend circle and it gave birth to the chat rooms, where people from all round the globe began to interact with each other. MRQ, MICROSOFT, YAHOO and GOOGLE all these software giants launched their own IM services and with growing age and use of internet more people got drawn to this astonishing and attractive world of global friendship. The PEN FRIENDS changed to NET FRIENDS. People began sharing their ideas, apart from some information, their personal and professional life with someone they never knew. The addiction of CHATTING was influencing everyone. The fever was catching pretty fast.
But as I said, one should be ready to face the flip side of anything that evolves. People started to discover the darker side of it. People started to share the things which they couldn’t share with anyone. Be it a youth talking about his sexual urge to some female on net or be it any married person catching up with his sexuality with a male/female. Or be it a spoil brat complaining about his family and life to someone else, or be it a pessimist trying to gain all the sympathy from the opposite person. These things started to take a very ugly face when people began to meet personally and tried to ditch them either financially or emotionally. Both types of blackmailing began to cover the whole IM world with black cloud. Females began to cheat males and tried to fraud money with males trying to physically molest the females irrespective of age. Several cases popped up and brought the darker side to the front pages of the world news.
But still people continued with their work of exploring people on net globally. Rare cases produced nil result in denting the confidence of people regarding meeting a stranger. Only thing that changed was the mindset, people became a bit skeptical in accepting any chat request but they didn’t stop. The fear was there but the glamour world of internet chatting was not eliminated from the mind. To make things more frenzy, SOCIAL NETWROKING SITES came into existence. Message anyone you like and develop your SOCIAL circle. This was the tag line of these sites. They weren’t talking about the friend circle but the social circle. The idea was new and innovative and it kicked with huge amount of spark. But again the flip side was the loop hole with these sites too. The messages were public, there wasn’t any restriction on the person messaging, and the images weren’t safe. All these loop holes started to take a very bad turn. SEX, PORN and VULGAR are the communities which are there is society but in a very recessive way but they do have an impact on our life. It showed its effect on these sites too. Some morons started to publically defame few people because of their own enmity or trying to make fun of by getting unethical about things.
Obviously the makers of these sites were aware of these things and they started to give users more privacy, making life easy for them. The security concerns if not eradicated, were made pretty secured. People began to find very useful information on these sites, find a way to get solution for many things. Sharing of ideas was made more useful and the group or say community dynamics was involved. Society became a little more matured and people began to think with more responsibility and the desperados were pushed to a corner and intellect became the center stage. People began to know the difference between a FRIEND CIRCLE and a SOCIAL CIRLCE. Youth gained lots of vital information about career and how to go about their life. These sites gave a platform to discuss about each and every topic, political, professional, sports, personal, literature, science, music, business, education and all the global topics. There is no denying the fact that the communities, specially made to give information about the each of the above topics has helped the society. It has set a beautiful platform where the society can learn from the intellect within it. The mirror was held by society and it was the image too.
I am sure if the society acts in a matured way then we can learn from the intellect within our circle. Few unacceptable things do happen but we only have to take care of it and take the initiative to be as clean as possible in our thoughts. The case of khusboo should never be a idol for the users of these sites. And I am sure the future ahead for these sites are in our hands. We shouldn’t spoil the future of this technological gift but should make full use of it for our own advantage.

============================================================

SPIRITUALISM, THE NEED OF THE HOUR….

SPRITUALISM, THE NEED OF THE HOUR….
Spirituality, a feeling instilled in every human being either good or bad, obviously I am not including atheists in my scheme of things. Because as I feel, there is a GOD in everyone and so is the DEVIL, you just need to discover either of them. The good and the bad are made after they discover either of these things. And atheists don’t belong to any of these categories. They are egoists who want to place themselves different from the normal being. As if they belong to a different world. In simple words if I describe this effeminate, they will still say OH MY GOD when they are need. They try to feign that they don’t believe in these things but they do. I can only say one thing that there is no one who is an atheist but it is just a word in English dictionary to fill in those thick oxfords. Anyways I would like to come back to the topic or belief I want to share.
Let me first give you a brief introduction of Spiritualism. It is a kind of religion that started in 1800s and flourished in late 1800s and early 1900s. The belief or say the religion called as spiritualism has some points to follow as set by the National Spiritualism Society of Churches. They are:
1. We believe in god
2. God is in nature
3. We should always abide by the rules of nature
4. We should know what is good and the bad
5. We never die
6. We are always connected to spirits
7. Insistence in religion
8. Be kind and do good, same thing will happen to you
9. Every day is a new beginning.
What I said in above four lines and nine points were all bookish. And I don’t want to present my thoughts confined or say influenced by the books or the verses written by sages of all religion. I want to bring out the modern time and the people living in this modern world and their thoughts about spiritualism. Everyone, be him of any religion is well versed about his holy book, be it The Bible, Shri Bhagwad Gita, The Koran, so talking about these books will be like adding more sugar to already too sugary tea. I want to stir that cup of tea without adding extra sugar and bring out the meaning of all those old teachings, which have been buried somewhere in our minds. I want to exhume that spiritualism which is somewhere inside everyone.
Betrayal, rage, breaking of trusts, and many more serious crimes in this KALIYUGA has settled a thick mud on our heart and mind. It is needed to be brushed and made sure that we bring back same good old times.
GOD created both good and the evil at the same time. HE never wanted to destroy any one of them but always wanted to see THE GOOD win over THE EVIL. Because EVIL only determines the value GOOD has and always had from the beginning. Every mythology says the same thing, no matter if it is Chinese, Roman, Greek, Turkish, Egyptian, African or Celtic. May be the GOD’s name is different but every GOD have elicited the same truth. If either of them is over from the world, the nature may lose her balance. From SATYUGA, both of them were present and they will be there till this world is in existence. The GOOD has always prevailed over EVIL but in this KALIYUGA , we have belief that EVIL is prevailing over the GOOD. But I have a different opinion about this firm belief. I think that it is not EVIL that is prevailing but the GOOD has been so submissive inside us that even if we try hard to bring it out, we fail miserably.
Presenting some examples and then saying my view should not harm me. So I want to elicit few examples. Eve teasing, a very serious issue faced by modern women, and when it takes an ugly turn it ends up to people getting desperate and breaking all the barriers from harassing the female to kidnapping them and government is doing so many different things to stop it but it hasn’t. Slogans come that we need to wake up and stop these wrong doings but the end result is zero. And let me tell you, this eve teasing is not a new thing to the world, it has started from the age of RAMA and RAVANA. But can you tell me why THE RAMA was able to punish THE RAVANA and why we are not able to punish these felons?? Let me answer this for you, THE RAMA also had to gather an army or group of people, who were there to support him and end this crime, but who do we have. If one tries to stop also, those felons make sure that this modern day RAMA is testing the dust. So next time no one tries to stop this modern day RAVANA. It has been proved that one person cannot win a war against an army. THE RAMA wasn’t all alone to face the army of THE RAVANA, but today modern day RAVANA has his entourage but modern day RAMA is all alone. The fight for the property has not started in this KALIYUGA but has been a mark since THE MAHABHARATA, but PANDAVAS has SHRI KRISHNA to be the charioteer and show them the path. Today no one wants to be on the wheels and show the path instead they want to take a back sit. KAIKAYI was the first mother to become the victim of crookedness of her maid MANTHARA but she was not the last. But she has son like RAMA to gracefully embrace her any order. In modern times no one does. One can argue that these people were the incarnation of GOD but my point is, we cannot be like RAMA, SHRI KRISHNA and ARJUNA, but can certainly find the shades of their being and principals inside us so that we know what is good and bad, and the same we try to show to the world, which has lost all the charm under the heavy dust poured over it by time and growing EVIL.
The GOOD has to build a strong force to counter these EVILS eating our society. And this can only come when we will start to discover the GOD inside us. Attain the spirituality which has taken a back sit in this modern era. We need to get close to THE ALMIGHTY for the sake of our own peace and satisfaction. A person alone cannot change the world, he can only be a torch bearer. And as of now someone has to come and show the world the path of spiritualism and throw light on the good things we have inside us. Bring that belief back that we have that GOD inside us who can give us back the strength and the force to counter the EVILS outside the world or inside ourselves. Betrayal, lies, anger are some of the EVILS inside us, which dominates in few people. We need to counter those feelings by love, affection and most importantly by showing them the path of spiritualism.
We need to get close to THE GOD and the only way to attain it is by spirituality, so that we are able to discover ourselves and fight all those RAVANAS by our sheer willingness to be good. The day this is achieved I believe that day things will change for the better. All those teachings and preaching VEDAS has to say about will be followed and the GOOD will again rise to stand like a GLADIATOR. The path is full of thorns and with every move we need to give tests but without hard work and strong determination we cannot attain THE ULTIMATE SALVATION and THE ULTIMATE SPIRITUALISM. We should not bother about the result, we should do our duty of doing GOOD and the rest will follow. Remember the eighth point of spiritualism. And the same is said in GITA also:
“ KARMNAYEVADHIKARSTE MAA PHALESHU KADACHAN
MAA KARMPHALHETUBHURMA TE SANGOSTAVAKARMANI “

the anniversary

THE ANNIVERSARY

One year has passed with you being beside,
Time has passed leaving the memories behind,
What you have given me is priceless,
Happiness and the sorrows are countless,
But still we have been holding on each other,
Regardless of some lost feather,
All the moments are still afresh with same jitters,
Feelings have always been lovely never bitter,
We met and it was nothing other than destiny,
And the Devine always maintained the harmony,
Love can never be purer than this,
Feeling can never be saturated than this,
Our relation to us is like bliss,
I want to hold your hand till I breathe,
And keep you in my heart deep beneath,
Every day I have passed with you are special,
Moments without you were also very special,
Because they always made me feel how much I love you,
In a jiffy the whole year have just flew,
All those tears were the pillars,
All those smiles were the healers,
Road ahead is tough and the conditions are adverse,
But these tough times are the boon not the curse,
I am ready to give a test standing on edges of a knife,
Only to celebrate the coming anniversaries with you all my life….

The beautiful Evening

THE BEAUTIFUL EVENING….

I see the buffalos returning from the fields,
Their master showing them the way to home,
Some of them are lost in those hills,
But they still reach following the foot marks all alone…

Its twilight and the birds are chirping,
Flying high in the air as if they are touching the sky,
The harmony is perfect with cows burping,
And the trees are swaying, bidding them a bye..

I am sitting on a chair watching this sight,
The cool breeze is tickling my every bone,
A world can be seen filled with love without any fight,
The calmness is prevailing with all the pain gone…

Evening has started to slow down as it fades,
And the defining moment is here for us to witness,
The shadow is hiding inside to see the shade,
Coz the sun and the moon are shining bright in this phase….
