The Day We Broke Up

I remember vividly,

It was the day we broke up,

We were sitting near the lake side,

Oh the mood seemed so romantic,

But that day your eyes were heavy with pain,

It was never same again,

Getting lost in those eyes,

Made my world go upside down,

The Prince lost his crown,

Is there anybody alive to hear my pain in this town?

Why one needs words,

Are looks not good enough?

You never looked at me,

In me,

Within me,

Rather you looked through me,

Beyond me,

Now that Alice is gone,

I am never goanna sing again,

Never pluck those strings,

As Life went out of shaft!

I thank the heavens,

I am recuperated,

Reborn,

And search for the One is On!

Pleasure in Pain

Every Battle is won or lost before it is fought, the sheer fear of loosing forces men to back out & it's not the failure that we are afraid of, its "possibility of failure & its repercussion on our public image" that defeat's us. One might ask why so ?, it can be mainly attributed to
1)Exploration of unchartered territories & experiences.
2)Living your life on others expectation ( Living a dream which was never yours, but somebody else's aspirations which you have subconsciously picked up).
Trust me even the best fall victim to the 2'nd category.

We hardly know how to cope up with circumstances to which we are alien's. As kids. we were always taught "Success is Good Failure is Bad", and that is where i feel parents go wrong, success & failures in life are states of mind & that's it, you don't fail unless u consider that you have.Never believed in a piece of paper that testify's ones worth, weather it be a grade-sheet, performance report or appraisal document. These papers bind our potential in numbers, whereas it is actually infinite. We tend to relax as we get our set target's,grades or goals.

Success is a state of mind & should lead to happiness, which is always a process.

But failures are equally important

If you ask me a lost battle can be an excellent strategic lesson if learn't, your mistakes always teach you something or the other.

Adversity is always painful & fruitful, it teaches us some lesson's which are never learnt in normal course of life,there lies immense pleasure in pain which is fortunately realized only during good times. In a difficult phase we tend to value what we have, those could be materialistic possession's or sheer abilities that we posses, remember no one can take your abilities away, its you who has o realize they exist. History has testimonial to the fact that Men who have seen set backs are better off taking risk's & making it big as somewhere down the line they know they have nothing lose

These are my favorite lines which i heard from some one  " There is a Pleasure in being Mad, Pleasure which few Big Mad men know"

Recession Baby

I have tried to empathize with those students who have chosen an expensive course like MBA & are having a tough time in USA, who have seen it all shattering of "The Big American Dream," jobs getting Banglored...some actually to relocate to Asia just to pay there Bill's & hefty fees

I am Baby of recession,

Baptized in fire of Depression,

My Big American dream was to make a mark on Wall Street,

Money, Power, Status & Fame,

But all was washed in a bloodbath on the Street,

The American Capitalist model had seen defeat,

It could barely stand on its feet,

Forget dream job,

Now Job is a dream,

At every point either I am overqualified,

Or out of the league,

I decide to sell Pizza at Papa Joe’s,

Baba says you MBA’s work for couple of months,

And never show,

I got no money to spend on a Rat, says Baba’s Dad,

Who runs the show ,

Thousands of dollars I have to repay,

Dorm was such a nice place to stay, 

Millions of people homeless & only cars left to stay,

To feed billions who stay abroad,

I think of getting Banglore’ed or Beijing’ed,

Only way to pay my escalating bills,

I took a flight to Bombay,

Never knew what would be my fate,

I see a strange kind of happiness in pain & struggle,

No insurance, no social security,

Just hand to mouth survival,

Still people with bright smile & Luminescence,

That would scare the broad daylight out of top Executives,

Earning millions,

What is it that the people have?

That makes them smile,

Content, self-fulfillment, satisfaction,

It took me two years to find out,

In quest of the perishable,

We tend to lose imperishable,

And end up losing both!
