Life's so crazy.

Just when you think

You are down,

Another person’s story

Makes you thank God.

Here I go

Its starting again.

The excitement, the

adrenalin rush.

I know it is she,

With who I want to be.

She is the one

I have been looking for so long.

When she talks,

I don’t want her to stop.

And when she listens,

I can’t stop.

She makes me proud

To be what I am.

She is the reason

Why I still live.

I love her so much

I get scared.

I have still not let go

but I know she has.

 

How can it be love

When it hurts so much.

The endless wait,

And the constant pain.

Too Much of Anything

you can’t breathe when there is so much wind,

you can’t drink when there is so much water.

and you can’t live

when there are too many people.

Sigh...

Bikes, rum and the road,

you keep going, you don’t stop.

and just when you think

you are done, another beckons.

you stop, you stare,

you fight the urge to carry on.

you come back and sigh,

coz the wanderlust has got you.

Random

She's coming in here
So slow, a shiver down
your spine. Haunting eyes,
nubile steps Deadly smile.

She takes you down the road,
So beautiful, so peaceful.
You never knew when you slept
Hidden in her bosom,
Never to wake up again.

You think you are down…
And the world is against you
And then she holds your hand
And takes you down a song
And the sun shines again.

DisJointed

Piercing pain is all I want,
Reckless abandon is what I am.
Sand in my open eyes, I see the light,
As the cold runs down my spine.
I am alive, like I never was.

This is where we part our ways,
Beautiful stranger.
We had our share of good times
It’s now time for goodbye.
Mope not, for crying out loud.
We may never meet again
Good riddance.

You are not awesome
Not even close to being good.
So stop bullshitting yourself
coz it ain't gonna make a
million bucks. So shut up,
wake up, and go back
to your boring staid job.

I don't care what you say
So shut up.
I don't care what you do
So get lost.
I don't want you to console me
I am not broken, yet.
Just leave me alone,
And that's all you can do.

For Jo

Judge me, for I don’t care

What you think.

Hit me, as hard as you can for

I am not a coward.

And kiss my shoes,

Coz I aint gonna bite the dust.

Why we travel.

Not to explore places, but to explore ourselves.

To find new destinations and to give

Meaning to our life.

To search, seek, question and discover

The answer to the eternal question.

Why.Am.I.Here!

Being Broke!!!

There is something about being broke that never fails to amaze me. When you don’t have money, you are so normal. Brands don’t matter, neither does taste. Its all about survival and that’s what life is all about. Food and Travel!

You never know when and where your next meal comes from. You don’t care about where you crash or what you wear.

All that really matters is what you do, and who you are won’t get you anywhere.

So, what is more important?

     What you do

        Or

     Who you are

Sometimes I wish that....

Time would stand still…..

So that I could hold on to some fleeting

moments of life and love.

People would disappear…

So that I can be myself and learn

to be me when they are around.

The world would come to an end…

So that we can start afresh

And not bother about the dark past.

We could live and let live…

And trust others to take care of themselves

and them, us.

Here I come!!!

The hours have disappeared coz the days has began,

When you run in the sand, the salt in your hair,

When you go to sleep In the mornings and

The nights are yours to live and live up.

Growing Up

Okie… I was damn scared today…  until now, I was so complacent when it came to my family… used to think that I dint need them or stuff like that….  And so many times I have thought it would have been so awesome if I had an older brother so that I can just be me and not think about responsibilities  …  today it hit me so hard….  When I was reading the admission procedures and stuff and then I had to sign and put the relation as son.. I realized that I really have never been one …

The instrument of MY freedom

I stare at the instrument of MY freedom… a sheer beauty on two wheels… chrome everywhere…  I close my eyes… I see myself flying… faster than a plane ... black clouds beneath me… whizzing at the speed of thought…. I feel the wind in my hair… I feel my face melting... I am blind...   rushing towards my destiny......towards the one place where ill be glad to be in… I think of all the ppl who care abt me..and I pity them, for they pass like a flash.. Faster than I thought they would… I think of all things I could have done… and I shed a quiet tear... To think of what I could have done.. I touch the empty space in front of me.. as I am hurtling towards space.. And I feel a sharp pain through my consciousness... I am surprised... I thought I was numb... I know I am numb… I scream…  a scream of happiness…  happiness from bein away from all the things that try to bind me… relationships.. friends… faith… desires… thoughts… and they cant touch me… no one can.. I am invincible… I always was… only they never knew… I would prolly have thought why… why does it bother them… why would it bother anyone?!  And then I know!! They don’t have anything to do…. do I have anything to do?? Did I have anything to do? Yes! I wanted to live! And I wanted to live my life! Not one dictated by rules made for others.. by others…. I wanted to be myself!  Why cant everyone just be themselves? If they were, they wudn care abt me..  they wudn care abt  anyone else… they wud live.. and they wud not just exist!

I cud have never survived! I feel alive now.. when I am running.. I can feel sumthin again! And this time, it brings me happiness… for I can feel the warmth in the cold droplets of water falling over me… it doesn make any difference.. I am blind… yet I have never had a clearer vision..  I see my friend.. Struggling… struggling to accept his gift.. a gift -  his life..  which probably brought happiness. to many people.. made him miserable.. if it ws a gift… shouldn he be happy? if its  a gift,  shouldn he have the right to refuse it.. can he return it back if its not the exact configuration he wanted…? oh he doesn have to… he goes to ppl to modify it.. he gets it .. and he wants an other thing..  its worse than a treadmill…

I also see a flower.. it blooms.. it lives.. it fades away.. I want to fade away.. but I havent lived… I don want to fade away without living..  and I knw wat it is… to live.. I tell ppl abt it all the time…

it all comes back to me in a rush… I know this will end.. when I open my eyes.. I don want to end.. I feel safe.. I want it to end.. ill feel safer.. I open them.. and the clarity disappears.. I am blinder than ever before.. all I see is sum sham.. I want it all back.. I want EVERYTHIN!!

I stare at the instrument of my freedom… a sheer beauty on two wheels… chrome everywhere…  I take the plunge… … I see myself flying… faster than a plane ... black clouds beneath me… whizzing at the speed of thought…. I feel the wind in my hair… I feel my face melting... I am blind...   rushing towards my destiny......towards the one place where ill be glad to be in… I see the end.. and I have never felt so alive!! I have done what I wanted to! I am alive! I can feel it.. it’s the elixer of life.. I plunge toward my destiny.. and ill live forever..

lol.. okie. this last one is totally random....

he sits on the chair, staring at his screen,
Wishing that the hours would give up
Their hold over him, so that
he can run like the wind,
Chase his dreams and listen to his heart.

The Quest

He walks and he walks…
Looking into people’s eyes,
Searching their souls, not knowing for what
And it refuses to go, The hollow
which he seeks to fill.

He walks and he walks…
Into the clouds, in no man’s land,
He is alone, he is not lonely,
For he has found the path
In his quest for destiny.

He smiles when he sleeps,
His fists unclenched, his sword
Sheathed. the rays of the moon
Keeps him warm and the stone his pillow,
And he dreams his dream, of immortality.

Bathed in the sunlight, he knows
That the time has come. He has to go,
To fulfill his destiny. The sword bared,
The shield thrown behind, he plunges
Headlong into the sea of pricks.

Here's why you can't find Him

he don’t want you to know,
he don’t want to be seen,
comfortable, hidden in his own world, and
yet searching, for the same people you seek.

Trekking to Himalayas

The best trek of my life so far. And also the toughest.

Please Help!!

I have a friend who is doing her B TECH Computer Science and is in her Third Year. And the placements would start in January I guess. With the recession and the hiring freeze in the IT Companies , all of them are pretty worried.

Can you please help her with the following: ( From your experience as an engineering student )

What are the things that she needs to be prepared for a placement interview.

What are the current sectors in the IT industry or generally, which offer good job prospects.

Any personal advice in terms of preparation from your experience?

and any contacts that you have in the field ( TCS, WIPRO, INFOSYS, CTS, .. anything... ) who may be able to guide her...


Thanks in advance... Please forward this to your contacts if you have to..
