Straight from my heart...

Apprehensive!! A poem that describes the frame of mind of most CAT aspirants…!! I have many dreams and I constantly desire, To be a part of the hallowed elite, To carve a niche for myself, To keep getting better; to keep flying higher, But as the day keeps getting nearer, My heart’s filled with a thousand apprehensions, I don’t seem to have any idea, Of what is going to happen further, I know this is going to be a gargantuan test, Of my perseverance and endurance, There are times I feel like quitting, But I can’t; I want to win against the very best, There are times my mind doubts itself, It wonders if it can handle, Such intense and sustained pressure, Which can even lead to destruction of the self, God, give me the strength; today I bow before thee, I don’t know a single hymn or prayer, Neither do I regularly visit the temple, But in these testing times, please stick with me, I’ll put in the efforts and leave the rest, To you, for you are omniscient and all mighty, Help me...

God: my new best friend!! My life’s come to a standstill, I am losing all will, I am clinging on to a slim rope, I am slowly losing all hope, I am bankrupt, my career’s in doldrums, On the verge of living in slums, I am seeking one saviour, a friend, I am hoping for all my woes to end. To withstand these testing times, I need lot of pluck, To re-emerge victorious, I require loads of luck, Someone, somewhere, help me please, I am wading in troubled seas Why am I going through all this, time and again, Why do I have to endure so much pain, To fate, I don’t want to surrender, But do I have a choice, I wonder, I am questioning my ability, Over me lies a dark cloud of uncertainty, When will this phase go, I ask you, God, I am eager to know, My mood’s day-by-day becoming pensive, There must be some laurels I ought to receive, But why has joy always eluded me, Why has fate always cursed me, I ask thee. Then one day, God came in my dream, He told me to work hard, eventually I’ll win, I have no...
