There You'll Be From Pearl Harbor -- Faith Hill

When I think back
On these times
And the dreams
We left behind
I’ll be glad 'cause
I was blessed to get
To have you in my life
When I look back
On these days
I’ll look and see your face
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

Well you showed me
How it feels
To feel the sky
Within my reach
And I always
Will remember all
The strength you
Gave to me
Your love made me
Make it through
Oh, I owe so much to you
You were right there for me

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

'Cause I always saw in you
My light, my strength
And I want to thank you
Now for all the ways
You were right there for me
You were right there for me
For always

In my dreams
I’ll always see you soar
Above the sky
In my heart
There always be a place
For you for all my life
I’ll keep a part
Of you with me
And everywhere I am
There you’ll be

Being a Second year at KGP

Hello people....a hello is a must, especially after such a prolonged absence from my side. And I have a reason for my absence this time::::I hope that every second year of KGP would understand the reason. :P
After coming into this semester, I have seen some of the busiest days of my life, some of the most challenging moments and gone through nights sleeping measly hours in a row. Every second year here would have seen that (of-course some people are exceptions; I hope a KGPian wd understand that). After going through the grind of OP(orientation program, for the uninitiated) and then SOP ( no, its not Super Orientation Program!) I feel a person becomes mentally tougher . In-fact this period is a learning curve, though a lot exhausting.

But hey, whats new about this article....every second year would have felt this...

but wait!
During this learning curve , almost every ordinary guy loses his senses and becomes psychic at times. After all who would have the patience to remain sane after sleeping for 3 hours a night, thrice in a row; after running, skipping meals; after sessions of collecting fundaes...(plural of fundae, which again is plural of funda ) by the way, this term actually exists in KGP lingo.

And all this becomes even more exhausting if you know that this is never going to end, atleast not in near future. When my OP phase was in transition , I was foolish enough to think that there would be better times in future...WRONG! yes I was wrong...
This is like moving in a desert chasing a mirage, walking and walking even faster just to be fooled .After all, one thing here leads to another. And guys, the ILLU work has not even started!
Then one thing results in another..And again for the uninitiated, ILLU is a "TRADITION" in kgp..huge patterns and themes made up of diyas ....and after that::::- there is dramatics ...that perhaps sums up the life of a second year..

Well, here it is..the journey continues..

Ek ke baad ek nayi kahaani.
har kahaani ke anjaam ke saath
ek nayi kahaani kaa aaghaz

kahaaniyon kaa yeh daur
kucch rula ke jaayega
kucch hansa ke jaayega
bas maayane isi baat ke hain
ki yeh humein
kucch sikha ke jaayega!

aur ummed hai ki
jab do saal baad
hum alvida kahenge
tab in dinon ko yaad karke
hum kahenge...
"woh bhi kucch din they"





But as always, we need to walk on.

Adieus

When nights are long,
when days are short,
When air is foggy,
when mind goes hazy,
When chill settles over thought,
when spirits are damp,
When Silence echoes,
When all sounds go mute.


A slow breeze,
a heavy feeling of nostalgia,
A fondness for the memories,
memories of times shared,
A yearning for the time,
time that never came
Looms large.


Lucky as I was,
that ours paths crossed,
that you came across.


You were a charisma,
an inspiring persona,
and an even greater enigma.
An enigma I wished
to surpass.


But Alas,
Destiny had different plans.


Adieus I bid,
Good Luck I wish.
May you go places,
may you travel miles.
Though without me.


But remember
There was someone left behind,
just round the square,
who was ready
to go that extra mile.

Aditya

Fall of grace

Sine long I have been thinking of writing another blog but wasn't really sure what it is going to be on. Though today I have found a purpose. Yet I am not certain as to whether today I would be able to do justice to my feelings. I wouldn't be very concise or clear on this. Because the matter is quite fussy and hazy.
So here it goes......................

It so often happens in life that the things that is so dear to us,in course of time becomes so trivial, loose their shine so much that they becomes mundane, pebble amidst a chest of rubies and emeralds. Same thing goes for relations and things. Everything is transient, fleeting evermore so with the fast pace of life.I guess thats the way life goes. I have been perturbed by that in an amount that I can't express here. But what happens to the ones that are discarded, made one among a crowd of many. How does it feel to be so ordinary after feeling significant,definitely not good. Whats important is to believe it to be just a chapter of book, a chapter that held a lot of promise, but that never lived up to them.A chapter that mocks on us, as we ponder over it.But every chapter has an ending....though not happy.

But again as I have always believed life goes on, relentless as it is, not stopping for the one fatigued. Virtuous are those who have it in them to walk head and shoulders with it.
Shri Harivansh Bachchan once wrote, which I feel is my eternal philosophy more so apt here:

जीवन में एक सीतारा था,
माना वोह बेहद प्यारा था,
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया;
अम्बर के आनन् को देखो,
कीत्ने इस्के तारे टूटे,
कीत्ने इस्के प्यारे छूटे ,
जो छुट गए फीर कहाँ मीले,
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर,
कब अम्बर शोक मनाता है!
जो बीत गयी सो बात गयी!



Well this blog was not very clear, but it was never meant to be. For I can never make myself to write my true feeling on this issue. However, I promise the next one is not going to be so heavy on E.Q , emotional quotient.Please do post your feed-back to me.

Deciphering Life

Here I am with my first BLOG....I am at my wits end in deciding what to write.There is so much to write yet so little.Quite a paradox..So here I am,writing about my view of life..(yes life!)
Life is a relentless journey or a wealth of opportunities...depends the way we see it. I am not quite able to keep a view I can hold on to for some time.I am also quite sure that it is a question that puzzles many people who are intrigued by the beauty of life,by the vastness of life,by the seemingly unending puzzle of life.

Life is a journey which makes you demand more out of it the more it gives to you.Hardly do I see a person who gets satisfied with what he accomplishes.Infact I too am like that,never satisfied. I had a deep ambition to get in to I.I.T . That burning desire made me burn the midnight oil for 2 years...Yes I got into I.I.T . I thought thats' it!! But alas! I am not satisfied.I want to achieve more than this,much more.In a way, this is what separates men from other animals,his desire for more.But this desire should not be allowed to reach dangerous proportions.....then it becomes greed.A man with greed is like a tiger who has tasted blood, there is no stopping them.

Life gives opportunities in strange ways.What we think to be a setback may turn out to be a torch that we can hold on to give light for the years to come.Life is strange.....thats' the beauty of it.Life is unpredictable.Thats' what makes it a ride worth riding.So guys and gals enjoy this roller-coaster ride called life.Take what comes your way as an opportunity worth giving a sincere try.
To sum it up,I recall an S.M.S that I received some time back-----
Life answers in three ways,
It says yes and gives you what you want
It says no and gives you something better
It says wait and gives you the best in its own time.

That was quite a philosophy....that was the way I look at life...Please do share your views with me.
