We lived together for many a year. The growing up days were not easy at all. Hand in hand we braced it all. You watched on me as I tried to steer a paper boat on a stream that sprung up from rain o dear! You were the only one to witness my dance uninhibited. You were the audience before the show. You have been my student as I loved to teach. Ah! the blackboard, me and you together it taught me to learn. You stood by me and gave me rest. As i faced test by test. I have cried in your arms and laughed in your chest. My little corner, my own space I came to you, when I lost pace. I hugged you tight and let it pass while you kissed me good night. I have dreamed many a dream and sung many a song in your garden of grace. You gave me friends, you saw me win you saw me lose you saw me grow up within. I owe to you We owe to you, a better life. but tell me, what can we do? You let us go and I'll let you know For the last time, I'll sleep with you and let you know. I have memories of you t

Conversations. We have them every day amongst family and friends and even acquaintances. I don't think a whole lot about most of them. But there are some that leave me with a sense of satisfaction, joy, just a smile or just more questions. These are the ones I'd like to take note of. Think about why they were so. Why do we linger on to some conversations more than the others? Let's see. My most enjoyable conversations are with my good friend, AB (let me name her that). We have uber long talks about each and every detail of our lives. With that details I mean those that are necessary for her to understand the situation or what we are currently going through. Each time we talk about the major life events between our 2 conversations we digress into discussing so much about the past. These conversations would have been hard to come by if she had not been a part of my life for the last 10 years. She is part of so much of my life that i cannot imagine having such a conversation w

सुबह के अबोध धूप से रोशन होता हैं जहाँ ; संध्या की लाली से डख कर हो जाता हैं दुआं। जीवन की भी लय यही हैं; बड़ी सीख मिलती हैं यहाँ। मम्ता की गोद से उतर के जवानी के नशे में झूलते हैं हम। ज़िन्दगी का मूल हूँ "मैं" यह समज बैठ्ते हैं हम। मांगों की अपार दौलत से दुनिया लूट लेते हैं हम। अपने अस्तित्व को भी दांव पर लगा देते हैं हम। अपने पराये सबको दुःख दिए जाते हैं हम। मैं को खुश किए जाते हैं हम। हर ज़िन्दगी कट जाती हैं दोस्तों पर जीने का वो अंदाज़ ही क्या जो सिर्फ अपने लिए जीए? डलती तो हैं हर शाम दोस्तों पर वो शाम ही क्या जो तारों को रोशन ना कर जाये ?

Sprightly green Aspen leaves unshy for a ballad feat; spirited by the music Of the gusty wind. Dyed in youthful green countless leaves sparkle as new. Love it is; as golden rays kiss the dainty greens. Crabapples' pink show up few; in testimony to nature's sense of hue. O' shimmery summer you've brought in a world anew.

There have been few movies with a message as strong as the one in Bollywood flick 3 Idiots. Excellent thing to talk about in an out and out commercial movie : Education. A long neglected issue in India and by far the most important. In order to pull India out of it's fallacies, it needs it's people to grow out of their ignorance and finally grow by education . Can a movie such as 3 idiots bring about some change in the way indians perceive education? There are really 2 major tasks here : One, to get the masses educated, to attend a school in the least. Two, educate every child such that he/she goes out there not just to find a means for his living but to find his passions and the courage to pursue them. The general middle class in India, succeeds in the first task. But miserably fails in the second. Yes in spite of the lakhs of engineers and doctors that it produces, I think our education system has been a miserable failure. Because I am convinced that not all those one lakh mi
