Move ON...

another one !!

No lack of resolve
No dearth of ideas
I keep on thinking
but where do i stand ?
remains a mystery

no complaints whatsoever
no regrets altogether
I keep on moving
but where do i reach ?
remains a mystery..

I strive for "this"
I settle for "that"
I keep on buying views
but what do i want ?
remains a mystery

I blabber a lot
I laugh my heart out
I keep on doing things
but what do I beleive ?
remains a mystery

I trust a lot
I get hurt in return
I still keep my hopes alive
But what do i get
remains a mystery..

A life so full of suspense
that keeps me on my toes
ready to get up n get going
after i fall due to woes.
Is this what is called living..?
n this time i think
i have got it BANG ON..
& life though a mystery all along
will continue to unfold
if you keep moving ON.
if yoy keep moving ON.

Lost or Found !!!

My first attempt to rhyme something.. all extracted from a long lost blog which i used to write while  in office at my previous  company.. refurbished the titles though !!

Time flies past as the years go by
How long would i be following " never say die"
I was innocent when someone stole my dream..
Since then i have grown up & learned how to beam
They say "all that glitters is not gold"
Also , not all those who wander are lost
For i have failed in everything..
Is this is reason i get hurt the most.. ?
To some I have turned hostile
though i still endure to remain myself all the while
Its better if i tell them
Its not possible all the time
To keep shut & listen to everything
Being one like a mime..
I am lost searching for a spring board
That can help me revive my lost hope
Its all in the mind as they say
But its The Heart v/s The Mind
N which way should i sway ??

the journey to 'no'where.. !!

wrote this almost an year ago at my ex-office .. :)

the road to comfort
seems all uphill
or is it like
i have overdone the drill !!

did i find something
that i tend to ignore
in pursuit of something
to gain something more !!

i was always charmed
with success in prospect
but little did i know
that i need to introspect !!

for there were things
that laid buried underneath
n bringing them to surface
would have taken all my heat

i seemed to have lost my way
in my hollow quest for perfection
n it would be like suicide
to route a 'U' for secession

but its time to rescind
to change the 'status quo'
cos being always like this
wont help in anyway
to take things in my stride
and to keep troubles at bay !!

Aal izz well !!

I was just introspecting and generalizing my introspection  :) . Every time I think to blog , it is inspired by a random quote or saying that went flashing through my mind and L.I.F.E. Just came across something while skimming through my Facebook wall posts some days ago. Cannot recall the exact words but it goes something like this --  " being happy or sad is in your own hands ".

Pondering over the same , I mulled over the reconciliation whilst thinking about situations i was in , those grotesque conditions which were bound to bring me down to my knees and beat me around. Dont know what was the spring board for inspiration , if there was one , that helped me to stay abreast in the sulky waters I was almost drowning in  . Dont know what forces conspired to keep me on my toes all this while that i never realised that those dark days were well behind me. Dont know what kept me running when everything and every1 around turned away  despising me , disowning me and pushing me further into oblivion.

I seemed to have again blown away with feelings.. coming back to the track. YES i very much agree with the pilot thought but would like to modify it for the good - that the state of being happy/cheerful is very well in your hands.... and well we'll ignore the rest of it.

Everyday you meet people who will say something stupid which would annoy you. Laughing through with seething anger is something very hard to accomplish. There are many other occurrences which tend to make u lose sheen - a bad day's work , a spat with a colleague , a under-achievement and last but not the least lack of gratification for your deeds. When i reflect back on my day , all these instances have been touched sometime if not one then the other.

Now coming to the happy part which is well within your teeth - SMILE. Read , hear , play , and do every possible thing that can put a smile on your face and the happiness will reflect in your actions.

Ending on this smiling note and now while i just had a glance on my last/first blog , this one bears a close resemblance.. Conenction they say !!!

P.S - when i started writing this , i was weary , thoughtful and a little sullen. I am myself smiling at the end.

Cheers.. Aal izz well and if it isnt , it will be !!!

Choices - within or beyond us!!!

You might have heard a lot many times "Its not we who make the choices , its the choices which make us".
I have always tried to understand and implement the subjective nature of this quote.
Starting from the basic instincts upon which we base our choices to the assumptions from which they are drawn , every reference is subjective and conditional.
Say for an eg - : its all upon us to assume things that make us happy rather than assuming things that make us sad. Every decision , every choice that we make anchors our behavior and attitude towards worldly things.
Either we try and look up to every event as an opportunity that can turn things around or we tend to look down on things with suspicion.
This is the pretext that i have been recently trying to map to the "August Revolution" by Anna Hazare against corruption. there was corruption all around us  , all this while. we probably chose not to raise our voice against all the hue and cry and were pretty comfortable with "chalta hai" outlook as long as it didnt concern us in a huge way. Communism existed in the country all this while but there were no sparks of a revolt , or if there were any , they were suppressed by the bigwigs in the economy.
Now all of a sudden , we aligned our v(ch)oices with 1 voice that raised to break the normalcy.The nearest comparison i could attribute to this kind of a behavior was that of goslings.
Goslings are creatures which upon breaking out of thier eggs , become attached to the first moving object they encounter and follow then whole their life. this is perfectly replicated for humane behavior too.
In this context , I am not against unified voice against corruption , I am just trying to analyze humane behaviour  in respect of day-to-day events. I had read this gosling theory in behavioral economics which was mapped to the dynamics of demand and supply. Extrapolating the same wrt to this domain , i just attempted to find if it applies to human psychology on a whole.
Ending these rambling , with Tom Sawyer's words - " in order to make a man covet a thing , its just necessary to make that thing difficult to attain". Is this the way LIFE shapes itself ?
