Sky has Fallen


Though silence surrounds

Tranquillity is out of bounds

My heart is pacing

And my mind racing

Creating untamed dreams

Fantasy world it seems

Day or night, doesn’t matter

The world is in constant chatter


Time for oneself

Too precious but not rare

Opportunities are many

How many? ... Too many

Alas! They come and go in a flash


Desires ... sought or unsought

Whom they do not haunt?

Conscience goes wry

As we live in a world of lie(s)


The voice within – muted and fretted

Raises its head, to be crushed again

The eyes are blinded by sparkles of joys

Which are nothing but a part of Devil’s plan

And all that glitters is not gold

My senses are too drunk to feel that


And when the devil executes its final plan

The senses are back but to no use

As the lethal blow has been delivered

By no one else but myself, but myself...


The sky has fallen....

Reservation : "I'm Lovin' it"

Thanks! Mr Arjun Singh We are very grateful to you for making our higher educational institutes crippled. You'll be greatly rewarded with votes. US would be happy to see more Indians coming to their institutions for higher studies, taking them out of economic recession. The ' privileged ' OBCs whose families will forever reap the benefits of quota will bless you wholeheartedly . You have done a job which nobody else could do. You have your best plans for making IITs and IIMs lose their sheen and go to the rock-bottom when it comes to quality education worldwide. Thank you for limiting the majority 'general category' to a 'minority category' in educational institutions. Thank you for stuffing twice the number of people in same lecture rooms. Thank you for haunting the nation with ' Mandal II '. Thank you for 50% reservation in total of 40 seats in AIIMS . You're the champ! But we won't complain when you have your favourite reserved catego

Lost in time

Have you ever felt as if you are swimming unconsciously in an active sea where you can feel something happening around you but you feel detached from it as if in state of coma ? ... I know it sounds awkward but I am sure there are many like me who must have felt something similar at one point of time or other. It may be some kind of delusion or psychological effect that one gradually slides into passiveness. You feel as if you are a pupa who has lost the will of coming out of cocoon. These moments might be quite troubling. You may want to overcome lethargy, but the comfort of inactivity pulls you back. You simply don't know what to do about this situation. Even your mind fails to answer your questions. On a deeper note, perhaps one has slid into aimlessness. It may be momentarily. You may have certain targets to achieve but you know there is no urgency. And when this thought starts taking control over your mind and thought process, you fall into a state of hibernation.

Welcome 2009

A very happy and prosperous new year to all. With a new year, it is a time for resolutions and changes. Only time will tell how many of these are kept, it has been a conventional exercise. Though everyone wants to lead a better and more satisfying life, taste more success and get rid of some bad old habits, not everyone is able to free self from the cobwebs that have settled around him/her. Does everyone actually needs to go through this overhaul or it is just another attempt of aping those self-styled perfectionists. Though the issue is surely debatable, its not wise to go discussing it threadbare at this moment. 2008 would remain scratched in the memories of Indians for long. After all, a lot of unusual things happened. While the terrorists who bombed stealthily the arteries of India came out full frontal exposing how vulnerable aam aadmi is, India progressed on other fronts like launching chandrayaan or winning 3 medals in Olympics. The recession which started from US had its side-e
