Facing the storms

The clouds are rumbling, the sky is grey,

I close my eyes, look up and pray,

It stares down at the dry parched earth,

We complain, “ Of water there is great dearth”,

Everything is dark, gloomy all around,

You close your eyes, cower at the sound,

Creatures trying to scamper home in vain,

To seek respite from the relentless rain.

Life is not a bed of roses,

Of barbed wire and thorns there are mazes,

Troubles to be found ate every turn,

To make heads reel and stomachs churn,

Difficulties and troubles to be faced,

Not to turn backs on and be raced,

Search for shelter all around,

But complete respite will never be found.

The skies open up, the rain falls down,

I step outside, my fear is gone,

The sky lights up with brilliant flashes,

Beauties of wonder that only a glimpse catches,

The sun comes out, the sky looks fresh,

A rainbow appears, painted by a brush,

The world is so beautiful once again,

It feels so wonderful to face the rain.

Life is a competition, bravely participate,

It’s such a short game you can’t afford to wait,

Difficulties will come, difficulties will go,

Face them bravely and you can run the show,

Obstacles look big, tough to be passed,

Overcome; the feeling is unsurpassed,

Life will be easy, just face it on,

Your difficulties will all be gone.

So you have to understand,

In times of trouble, keep a firm hand,

Do not turn your backs and run,

Life will not seem any fun,

Take all fear away from your head,

Face difficulties without a tear being shed,

Brave the odds, hold no grudge,

And from the greatest of storms, will you emerge.

im probably drunk but dont underestimate me... its the 7th of november today... cat is on the 16th if u didnt know... the biggest examination of my life for gods sake.. and i am going and getting drunk in the night... imagine.... amazing isnt it......
i just wish i hadnt done well in those aimcats... i just wish i hadnt seen this dream.. cuz this dream i tell u.. its larger than life... ive created an illusion for myself that i probably cant explain right now cuz i am pretty drunk... but this illusion involves myself seeing a dream.. its a dream for me that some day ill be doing my mba from the best management colege in our country... a dream.. but something that i now feel is realisable none the less...
however with just a week to go im having second thoughts... this dream has slowly converted itself into a realisable quantity.. something that i can fulfill.. something that is achievable...
expectations increase.. of people and mysely... why do people have so much faith in me??????
for the first time in my life and i swear to you its the very first tie im afraid...
my thought process is blocked.... all i can think is that ill let all these people down if i dont manage to do something, and the most important ill let myself down...
what should i do... im really confused...
its a life changing exam and i just hope i survive it....

In the hangover the mind works

A small room, dimly lit lights,

Floyd on the speakers, reaching the heights,

Four friends, sipping whiskey with ice,

Life is amazing, life is so nice.

The lights seem to blink, the world seems to reel,

Everything is so numb, I cannot feel,

Emotions burst out, turn thoughts into words,

Life is so unpredictable, life is so weird.

Then gateways break open, those tears flow out,

I am wrong, I have absolutely no doubt,

The world is still spinning, I’m feeling so numb,

Everybody is right, I’m the one who’s wrong.

I never was a speaker, I spoke things out,

Booze gives me strength, Booze gives me mouth,

Those glistening droplets, flowing down my cheeks,

I don’t know why I got them, it gives me the creeps.

I try to remember, I don’t understand,

It’s like the lyrics from a new rock band,

I am afraid, I am so confused,

I feel like a child, just been abused,

I look him in the eye, I tell him to wait,

This is my destiny, this is my fate.

Life was so rosy, life was so nice,

It’s all gone wrong, it’s not a surprise,

I look at myself, I contemplate,

But life will go on, life will never wait,

So do what you want to, do what you may,

But remember in the end, life has its say.

for the girl of my dreams.....

The world was dark, the weather bleak,

There had been no sunshine for a week,

And then she smiled and it seemed to me,

The sun was giving gold for free.

Out of the darkness this angel rose,

Dressed in white, a blossoming rose,

All difficulties flew away,

All was bright, all was gay.

In the middle of summer in May,

If she cries there is no day,

It becomes so dark, so cold,

One would say, it is winter we behold.

Tears across her pretty cheeks,

Diamonds in dried up creeks,

Those precious stones you cannot waste,

So never cry in so much haste.

A smile, a laugh, those happy words,

Like wind chimes or pretty birds,

That smiling face, the tangled hair,

All too sweet for words to say,

But wait I have one request for you,

Keep ever smiling for all you do,

And promise me my cute little heart,

Friend s we will be till death does us apart.

Life is a roller coaster of emotions.. one day you feel so high that u feel you're on top of d world.. another day you'll feel so low that u can bury yourself in d ground n still it won't be enough... it's all about striking the right balance.... so try and live life normally because that's d most difficult thing in the world...
Exams are around the corner as i speak.. Time is precious or rather precious little time is left..
It's the time when every second is worth it's weight in gold.. Last minute cramming is an art which most people feel they can master but at the end of which most feel like they've been ravaged in battle.. For as i said It is an Art...
Life is a roller coaster of course.. So many things happen.. so many things keep happening.. There are times when you can't understand how your time flies and times when you wish that time would fly..
Life ain't a cake walk.. It's probably the toughest test one can go through.. Being tempered by all the gruels and hardships of life is something that would break any lesser creature down.. But then man is complex.. Man is supreme.. Man is master.. He can make possible impossibilities than what is this small test called life...
About highs and lows they of course keep happening.. There are times when you feel that everything is going right.. When you think you are master of the universe.. When you think that anything can come true.. Cherish these moments because these are the mementos life keeps giving you along the way.. Moments that are just moments but which can last you a lifetime..
Lows of course are the obstacles in this ever so difficult path called life.. Periods of depression when you feel you have fallen into a never ending trench.. When you feel however much you try there's no point because there's no light at the end of the tunnel..
But well these are part and parcel of life and have to be accepted.. Cherished moments kept with you for ever.. Hard times battled and conquered.. Because for one who has to be a winner battles have to be won and hard times have to be forgotten because only one who doesn't compromise on anything and moves steadily on ultimately ends up a winner...

aimless ambling.....

Well well how time flies... It's back to college.. a month has passed... so much has happened this last month it seems enough for a year... And time seems to have flown at the blink of an eye... College Gathering!!! Abhikrant '08.... Tronix retained the title again becoming the only department to have won 3 in a row... some achievement it is... But how the hell does it matter??
Life has been difficult.. there have been highs and there have been lows... Fights with my closest friend.. I'm such a bastard.... There have been attempts to stick to certain principles... Some attained... some left lying on the way....
Some matters of importance have been taken into hand but the most important one left lying untouched...
Life goes on and on... It never comes to a standstill.. But there are times when you wished it would.. to give you a little time to think... to prepare for whatever may be lying ahead... To give you enough strength to make what you know could well be the most important descision of your life...
People say i'm a sentimental guy.. I guess i'm not.. I'm simply-mental a little cranked in the head.. someone must have hit me on the nut when i was young... One thing i do hate though is hurting people... and thats what i'v done to a couple of my friends i'm sure....
There are long periods of repentance and i hope i come out of them with my eyes lit following the correct path... Till then i amble along aimlessly on the walks of life and keep contemplating why and where i keep going wrong....
