THE SEEDS OF JOY!!


The seeds of joy!!
I look outside the window,
I am appalled by what I see,
As nature begins to sow,
The seeds of fear in me, 

I see clouds in the sky,
Dark, ominous and mocking,
I hate them, I want to cry,
Of the imminent woes, they keep reminding,

I hate the gloomy weather,
Soon it even begins to rain,
Some want it to last forever,
Not I, it adds to my existing pain,

I see people relaxed and sauntering by,
Umbrellas over their heads,
Yet I wonder why,
My misery still pervades,

Down the road, I see,
Some kids playing in the rain,
They seem so happy to me,
I wonder, is there a way to let go of this pain, 

I look at an innocent boy,
Even I was just like him,
Why did I kill the seeds of joy,
And my future kept getting dim,

I now realize, I shouldn’t be wilting like weeds,
Life is a gift worth accepting,
It’s all about sowing the seeds,
Of joy, and their perpetual nurturing………..

To you , my mother!! Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator. Thank You, for everything you've done, I need you, I really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I remember a day of the past, When you held my little finger, Took me to school the very first day. I was crying, terribly upset, Coz i didn't want to stay away from you. I remember how i used to cry, When every morning you went to the dispensary. I needed you then, i need you even now. I need your guidance, your advice. I need your backing, your support. Today I really want to say something, To you, my mother, my creator, Over the past few years, You've become my guide, my mentor, I need you, i really do, Please stay by my side forever.... I am indeed very lucky, To have a mother as sweet as you. I am indeed very lucky, To have someone who cares for me, Who appreciates my achievements with glee, Yet equally stern when i am wrong. You have a heart of gold, my mother, Please stay by my sid...

DRAVID: THE UNSUNG HERO!!

Dravid: The unsung hero!! An epitome of perseverance was he, A man of resolve; like a wall he stood, Weathering every belligerent storm with ease, Every single time, without an interlude, An epitome of ethics, an ideal sportsman was he, He made us believe, cricket’s still a gentleman’s game, For rarely he shouted, cursed or resorted to unfair means, Never did we see him bring our country’s reputation to shame, An epitome of selflessness was he, A man who would have walked on fire for his team, He did everything he was asked to do; and more, He would die saving someone else’s life, it does seem, An epitome of humility, a true altruist was he, For never in his life was he seen flaunting his records, Preferring instead to be a shadow, an unsung hero, A man who served; without expecting rewards, An epitome of loyalty was he, Like a mother loves her child since birth, Every step he took was in the interest of the country, Yet who never r...

WHAT'S NEXT???

‘What’s next’ isn’t just another question; it is a deep-rooted habit. I can probably even define my life journey through a series of ‘what’s next’ questions. April 2005 “How were your exams? What’s next? Science, commerce, or arts?” September 2005 “Good you chose science as your career stream. What’s next? Medicine or engineering?” June 2009 “How’s your engineering going? What’s next? MS or MBA?” July 2011 “MBA admit from an IIM. Wow! So, what’s next? Investment banking or FMCG?”  July 2015 “Congrats on your promotion. So, what’s next? Buying a house or car? Marriage?” And, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Sometimes I wonder, is life meant to be an assembly line where every step has to sequentially follow another, and every pause is equivalent to a failed system? Do we have to constantly think about where we want to go or what we want to do next? Is that how we are supposed to be wired? Then I wonder, if everyone’s living this way, perhaps tha...
