Prose i read somewhere

"The heights by the great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight But they, while their companions slept Were toiling upwards in the night." --Anonymous

The first success

Atlast I did it!!!I went to Gym today!!!isnt it great!!well,ofcourse i did it.but, to go to gym in the morning,i had to stay awake the entire night.Is it too less a price to pay for the reward?i dont know.but it feels gud,because you had finally did what you were trying to do from the start of the year.but the feel good factor died away in the afternoon when i slept and missed out the lunch.Anyhow,its college and you are bound by birth to do such things at college.What else is college for?Cramming up formulaes and mugging??Noooo wayyyyyy>....by the way,yesterday was one more of enlightening chat sessions that go way into the night and end up with a tea at a chai shop outside IIT.The topic of discussion...Everything ranging from choosing life partners to Quantum theory..I would like to dwelve more on the latter,as Quantum thery doesnt have any attractive returns of investment unless you are an all brains no balls guy;)Its a commonly held misconception that you do not have the choice...

start of week..

Have you ever felt the feeling of ecstasy and fagged,simulataneously at the same time?IF yes,you would know the magnitude of what i felt today.Had been working on a long cherished dream till morning and once it was over,tiredness took over.But because the brain was too much excited with the work,it refused to sleep and there started the conflict.You want to sleep but still your body and mind refuses.Did not go to the lab today and dint do much of project work either.sometimes I seem so strange to myself.The problem that im working on is interesting,im bloody damn passionate about the problem but still sometimes,i just dont feel like working on it!!But my consolation is that i had done some real gud work on a dream project and hope to complete it within a couple of days.Even there,I knew it was my dream project but still till yesterday i dint feel like working on it!!I seem to require some kinda setting to sit and work it out,some mood,times may be...Very well,all said,its the way i am...

Sundayyyyyyy...

ah!!!sundayyyyyyy!!!this is the feeling you get when you wake up on a beautiful sunday morning,especially if you had put a night out on saturday night.Iam no exception to this golden rule and even after waking up to conscience,dint feel like getting out of the bed.If anyone asks me what bliss is,my immediate retort would be the feeling that you get when you lie on your bed on a sunday morning without bothering to get up.After experiencing such uninterrupted bliss,i was brought to the mortal world by a knock at the door.Cursing the instigant who blotted out my sweet sweet morning,i opened the door,only to hear my friend telling me 'Its not enough to buy the gift for a friend.You should also give it on the occasion'.We had bought a gift yesterday, to be given to a friend on his marriage day,which was unfortunately, today. Giving him a glance that would have confused his wits out,on what was the feeling that i was having at that particular moment,i perused the truth in his stateme...

Delightful saturday

Well, its gud to be writing again.I seem to have built a habit of blogging daily.So before i lose interest,get....set... goooooo... Today started with the same daily ritual of me promising to myself to go to gym from tomorrow.And late in morning ,when i woke up,i kicked myself for again reneging on the promise that i made yesterday.Then it was a friend who disappointed me,by making himself unavailable for the trip that we had planned for ooty.Initially the trip was planned as a gettogether for the entire batch,but now nearly half the people had other plans in their mind.Im disappointed,well,its a weaker word to describe my feeling.On the retrospective,i think i could have forced him to toe my line.But I dint,coz its my policy not to force anybody for anything.I beleive in the complete independence of the individual and i might give some suggestions.Its upto you to take it or leave it.And I dont give a damn if you take it or not. The best part of the day was saved for the later session ...

reminiscences

Its long since,i have actively posted something and today i made up my mind to devote sometime for blogging every day.But beware,that doesnt mean it would actually translate into lotsa blogs,for there exists a beeg vacuum barrier between my thoughts and actions.Any how,as the saying goes,'something is better than nothing' and comfortably forgetting the second half of the saying which says 'nothing is better than nonsense',here we go... Well,the day started with a habitual failure for me..i had intended to get up early in the morning and go to the gym.but if there is one thing which makes me proud of my sincerity,tis this habit of waking up in the morning only to sleep again ,making a wow to go to gym the next day.nothing interesting happened after,for i was too lazy to do anything in the day.i donno if it happens to y ppl,but somedays i just wanna lie down and do nothing.not that i do something in the other days,but on these days,its real bold and italised NOTHING.Think...

A Star far away......

Every night as I walk among the grass, A solitary wanderer lost amidst thoughts, I see the sky with the moon and the stars, An exquisite attire of black with shiny dots. There among the numerous,lies one star, Shivering and quivering so near,yet so far. How I wish I had the wings of a great pelican, strong enough to fly me through the distance. It is a perfect companion to a lonely human, tired of earthly vile,longing for a true soul. For it expects nothing and accepts anything, cheering and prodding,when among the gutters. It twinkles more,when i find it among the rest As if to say coyly,'I know you would find me'. No matter where,its always there,awaiting For my glance,only to shine brighter, after. But are'nt stars just chunks of matter,destined To burn and sparkle all the way till the end? Lifeless they are,did we say they have no emotions? still,What does it have,that stole my heart away? If it were possible,take away all that I possess, ...

Needed - Capable Leaders...

Fifty six years have passed since the time world had witnessed an extraordinary phenomenon. The phenomenon wherein, people as different as Germans from Turks or Russians from Afrikaans, came together to create a country that is roughly half of Europe in terms of size and equivalent to the entire Asia put together, in terms of diversity. The fact that India has flourished even after countless attempts on her integrity, is a standing testimony to the people who inhabit her. However there is a nagging question that needs to be pondered upon by any responsible citizen of India. Could India have done more? Looking back, we find that India had its own share of problems-burdening population, incorrect economic policies, bleak industrial scenario, wars and internal strafes to name a few. But all these problems are like the stars in a broad daylight sky, which get lost in the glare of sunlight. The Sun being, with due apologies to the now rather endangered species of honest politicians, ...

On a Sweet Sweet Dumbo I know....

This blog im gonna dedicate to the disgustingly sweet dumbo I have ever known.Before meeting her,I never knew people like these existed on this planet.I only thought it was a big bad world out there,where the only thing you can trust is your gun.Meeting her was an eye opener for me.For I now think world is not only big and bad,its weird and psychotic too.:-) well,jokes apart,She is one of the very few reasons,which make my stint at ahmedabad a thing to cherish for life.She's a kinda personality who grows on you with time.Those familiar words,'udamba parthuko da.Nalla sapidu.Nalla thoongu" still ring in my ears,fresh as ever.To care for everyone around her,is something thats programmed like a reflex into her.Okay,I do have a confession to make.Though I used to make fun of those words,only my mind knows how much i wish to hear them again and again. And the rasam that she makes.Boyyyyyyyy...it was awesome...I mean,though she never succeeded in making a successful rasam...

The lost world....

This is age of information,globalization,some-x-sisation,etc,etc.Well,atleast thats what our politicians,corporate leaders and some selfstyled-press of the urbane will want us to beleive.How far they are true is,as a matter of fact,fodder for another really really big blog.Im not goin into that stuff,nor am i interested in those unreal hypes.But what interests me is the quantum of change thats occuring in our lives,owing to the ever increasing pace of our days. Let the winds of change,Mahatma gandhi once commented,come into our minds from all directions.But he also cautioned against getting swept away by the same.Unfortunately,it seems he was right,as always.Our insane preoccupation with the pressures of day to day life sadly,has destroyed some important tenets that are the basic ingredients of happiness in life.And as usual as ever,we have gleefully accepted this calamity as a normal consequence of our so-called elevated standards of living. As an examp...

Dawn.....

As the darkness moves out of the timber, colours comeback to life from their slumber. Happy,sure they are,for they dance and dine, and turn the sky into a canvas above the pine. Gold,pure and glittering,then starts its parade, free it is,plenty it is,invaluable it is but for trade. The creators symphony,by his feathered friends, neither jazz nor blues ,yet never goes out of trends. enter the pearls,crowned proudly upon the sword, for who else can create dewdrops,if not the lord. the air is filled with love,new hopes everywhere, sighting the end,gloom and sadness disappear. so much life in every morning,so much happiness, I wondered 'what are all these,if not for darkness'
