The First Day of The Rest of Our Lives: Today.

Today's the day I want to start

On a journey far away,

A long long way to go

To somewhere I want to stay.

A place where's it's easy

For dreams to change into reality

Ecstasy that will live on

As long as eternity.

I want to sing, I want to dance,

I want the world to know

That, here I'll find my soul, my heart,

And myself, tip to toe.

I want to take everyone I know

In this world of mine,

To live with me in that home of joy,

This place that's so fine.

But what's a better thing to do

than bring that home here;

And make my world beautiful one,

Where there's only love and no fear.

Today's the day I want to start,

To change the world to make it better

Without bombs and guns and boundaries

Where religion is no more than love.

    Ah.. That's too much to say. But, anyway, I'm glad you think it's good.

    though that kind of makes me feel good, it's really more than the credit that can be given. thanks anyway.

    A very well-written piece. Starting life afresh is something that everyone relates to and you have done a great job in expressing your opinion- from a very personal view to one that is at a more global level. I hope that all your future pieces will have a personal touch. I relate to every word that has been written, except for, maybe, the last two lines. And all this with Raag Gujri Todi playing, phenomenal stuff.

The Stepping Stones

They say, failure teaches us lessons- Lessons of endurance, lessons of not giving up, lessons of not worrying about it, and lessons of being happy. It teaches, but do we learn? You guessed it. I failed. And, for some reason this time, I’m kind of happy about it. I’m a CA student, by the way. I had written an exam a couple of months back, and got the news of failing it the second time a couple of days back. After working hard for oh-so-many days and going through all kinds of books, the result was failure. Anyway, I was attending/volunteering a students’ seminar when the results were released. At first, I was really shocked. Like, really really! I didn’t feel like talking to anybody, but I did want somebody to talk to me. However, just to inform all the ‘related parties’, I sent a text message saying ‘I flunked’. Different people gave different reactions. One thought (from my indifferent tone) that it didn’t really bother me, and said, “you anyway don’t seem like you’re

Dear whosoever came across my blog and decided to read on..for whatsoever reason, Today, as I was returning from an audit ( which is, by the way, very very (very) far from the limits of the city.. I wonder why they have their office there..anyway,) in a bus, I decided I would give my city a closer look than usual, instead of choosing the easier way of killing boredom, to sleep. The city has become a big city now.. and I mean a BIG city.. the airport apparently looks marvellous ( I haven't seen it yet, so the 'apparently' comes in). The roads are covered with what they call 'luxury cars' and huge malls and big branded stores and many many outlets of several kinds.. I'm impressed.. The city looks fancy and modishly illuminated with the neon (I guess) lights of the many many restaurants and malls and coffee bars and eat outs and every other kind of store or whatever, that I think I can't even name. For a while, my thinking tube was switched on and I gave it a

I know not..

I know not what life is, I know not death, I know not who I am, I don't remember a bit I live to see where my soul is, Die to see it go. I'm an ancient soul in this eye of God, And, I'm all alone. I look back at all my lives, And think, why? But I have to live, so I die. I try to recall all that happened, I see nothing..nobody..no relations. I want to know where I will go now, I want to go, I have no patience. I bid goodbye to all I had, all that life gave. I seep into the memories that'll never be.. and sink into my grave. Even now, I know not what life is, I know not death. I know not who I am, I don't remember a bit.
