As I stand at this crossroad,
Waiting to choose my direction
I recall I was here, not very long ago,
As if it were some reflection
It’s like the chorus of a song,
The sound of the chime
Life is one full circle
Comes back with time
I chose the path most trodden
Not knowing where it would lead
Nurture hopes of the world around me
Apprehensive whether I would succeed
But didn’t take much time to realize
That it was a misfit
And trust & honesty were,
But meaningless words
I moved on with my set of wounds
Longing for a pair of wings
Jealous of birds
To fly away in the vastness
To go to the land I want
Where nobody questions me
Sans past memories to haunt
But such is the irony of fate
I am brought back to the same gate
The time and context has changed
And so has the emotional state
It all seems same on the outside
“Which way to go now”, echoing inside
Like the chorus of a song, like the sound of the chime
Life is a circle, comes back with time!
Hoping this time I won’t make a mistake
I’ll choose a new path, and call it mine

The summer of 2008…
One week of blood and sweat
Sounds somewhat similar to the famous Summer of 69’ by Bryan Adams—Memorable yes it is indeed
But the inspiration to him wouldn’t have been better than what I have to say! To me the catalyst is an event which is one of the most look forward to as well as one of the most dreaded ones in a place that I am right now in! Didn’t know it will be so full of emotions! Saw the strongest of them break down and the most unexpected stand up to the difficult situations with commendable resilience! It was one experience in itself which I will never forget! As each day passed by I saw so much! So many things I never knew do exist! Sometimes overjoyed at a feat and the very next moment felt terrible at a disappointment! And all of it happening so fast and in cycles that with each day passing by I felt I was a stronger person.
Day zero to 1 – 2 – 3, the energy levels followed a decreasing trend as each day passed by. Saw some people devastated completely, moving from one interview room to another, some still waiting for a chance to be interviewed. All dressed up in business suits with resumes in hand and dreams in their eyes to fulfill. But a lot of these dreams were shattered! There were some surprises and some shocks! But in the end what stood out was the spirit with which the whole batch got together. Each one was standing up for their friends, some volunteering to help the seniors who were there with us throughout! I would not mention the figures, neither the companies here as I know they were the best to be reported to any news channel but none of them would know the hard work that people put in to make that happen. I had only heard of the experiences of a summer placement process at an IIM. Now I can say that one has to experience it to know what it is.
Met many new people, made new friends, and realized that it is better not to keep many expectations because you never know what life has in store for you. So be ready to accept what life offers you and and then give it your best shot. I have learnt a lot of “Globe-ing” here I guess, but that is how I will put it!
Would thank all those who stood by each other and all those who put in efforts for us!! I am already 1/6th of an MBA and there’s so much more to learn here and so much to absorb!!!

On Trust!!

Such is life..
You wake up one morning ,with the will to take on the world , thinking that today is a new day and I shall start all over again! With learnings from the past , I move on. And then as the day unfolds I realise that things are not going my way again! Sometimes , I get helpless and don’t know what to say , what to do , when Murphy’s law starts taking its toll on me! Me being the subject! And Murphy mocking at me and playing his tricks!
When the struggle between ideology and reality is won by reality! When I think something , do something and the final interpretation is something completely different. When suddenly it seems that it would be difficult to go on! When my faith in my own capabilities starts shattering, when I seem to be misunderstood everywhere! Whatever we do comes back to us , so then I feel how could I be so wrong somewhere? That all this is happening to me! Must have been a real sinner or a criminal and I curse myself for reasons even not clear to me! They say whatever happens , is for our good! So I try to find the goodness in everything! Probably a consolation that the next day will be a better one. But today is over! Another day of failures to teach me the lessons of life.And as the night paints the sky black , I look up in hope that a new day will come ! When I’ll have more control on life! And that is how it goes on ,
May be one day all this wont matter to me much,
but right now i am waiting for the Midas' touch,
such is life , life is such…

Who is there Beside?
As the darkness shrouds the light
The clock shows the time,its night
The soul wanders in the mist
Looking for a safe place to hide
Suddenly it senses,
Someone is standing beside.
When the whole world seems an illusion
when my picture of self faces discoloration
The spirit feels, feels orphaned without a guide
When diffidence takes its stride
I still wonder ,
Who is standing beside?
Then hope conquers all fears
Then laughter vanquishes all tears
When He rescues my incarcerated spirit
And takes it to a higher limit
When words lose significance and emotions are tacit
When his lambency shatters the blanket of night
And my wings flutter now , they are untied
There is no one ,
nobody is standing beside
Then I hear him call me but cant find him
I can still hear ,
This time the voices are coming from Inside
The clock shows the time,its night
The soul wanders in the mist
Looking for a safe place to hide
Suddenly it senses,
Someone is standing beside.
When the whole world seems an illusion
when my picture of self faces discoloration
The spirit feels, feels orphaned without a guide
When diffidence takes its stride
I still wonder ,
Who is standing beside?
Then hope conquers all fears
Then laughter vanquishes all tears
When He rescues my incarcerated spirit
And takes it to a higher limit
When words lose significance and emotions are tacit
When his lambency shatters the blanket of night
And my wings flutter now , they are untied
There is no one ,
nobody is standing beside
Then I hear him call me but cant find him
I can still hear ,
This time the voices are coming from Inside

The thin line
There’s a thin line between …
What I want to be and want not
My freedom and my limitations
Love and fatal attraction
Jealousy and envy
Self respect and self pity
Aplomb and complacency
An everlasting caress and a life long scar
A memory for life and a moment of happiness
A soul mate and a companion..
There’s a thin line between my resilience and my flexibility..
What I want to be and want not
My freedom and my limitations
Love and fatal attraction
Jealousy and envy
Self respect and self pity
Aplomb and complacency
An everlasting caress and a life long scar
A memory for life and a moment of happiness
A soul mate and a companion..
There’s a thin line between my resilience and my flexibility..
