....

There she sits all alone

by herself waiting.

Hair like a flowing river

eyes like clear water.

With every breathe and every sigh

her impatience shows.

Fidgeting hands, worried forehead

her calm was slowly slipping.

The eyes were getting anxious,

now the feet began to tap.

She walks around aimlessly. 

A look of great decision crosses her face,

a look to decide once and for all.

Suddenly a call from behind

she turns and she changes.

This wasn't the first time

and this won't be the last.

No more trouble on her face,

the sparkle is back in those eyes.

Her heart and her soul belongs to him,

it shadows all his faults for her.

She forgets the wait and the pain

because he is her man!!!

I am with you always, I can see you all the time

run or hide but I'll still be there

You are scared of me, I'm your truth your reality

You wake up with me, you sleep with me

you don't turn at night afraid to see me staring

I was I am and I will be forever by your side

You think I'm gone because you want me to vanish

but I'm the good in you I can never disappear

I'll nag you for every wrong you do

and I pat you on the back for the good

You try hard to not think of me harder to forget about me

but I have an eternal presence because I am you conscience!!!

everything is not normal

Everyday we wake up and go on with our life. We never contribute even a minute of our day to ponder over what has already happened and what is happening. In the comfort of our lives with the major political and historical turmoil of the century already passed we forget what has shaped the world that we are living in. 

             Who would have thought that sitting in a class one can come across a shock and a realization of the truth of the time gone past. Most of the times this shock is so sudden that we end up either ignoring it or succumbing to its purpose of making us stop and think. the present times has its own problems and issues yet when thought carefully our world doesn't seem as advanced we would like it to be. From the World Wars to India's own Partition of 1947 and the riots of 1984 are examples of the past that makes us work towards a life of better options. 

   In living our lives we have to remember the past which brought us to this future. Neglecting it is insulting the memories of the people who lived through those turbulent times. The horror of the wars and riots may be absent now but we are still not so far away from them that we can put aside the fear of a new explosion that can shake the society to its core and lead to the same destruction as before.

Shades OF Gray...

With the multitudes of people that we encounter throughout our life none can be categorized as simply black or white, with black denoting the "bad" and white denoting the "good". The people nearest to us are the best example of this very true theory. Our family are the people we love the most but aren't their always those little things that we just can't seem to understand. The come our best friends, they compliment us the best, we believe them to be someone exactly like ourselves but when it comes down to a fight their always is something that bugs us, that makes them different from us. But does that mean we are 'white'? Not at all. When we sit down and think about our fights we realize our own petty mistakes and prejudices. 


                                 The same theory also apply to the people we usually don't get along with or people we simple have to hate. We may criticize them all day long, find the worst in them but we never are able to ignore that little good in them that we see, sometimes on our own and sometimes forcefully. At the end of the day no matter who we love and who we hate, we are not able to compartmentalize them into good or bad only. Their is always something in between. It is at this point that we realize that we will never find the brightest shade of white or the darkest shade of black among the people we know or the people we don't know.


All that we can conclude is that the shades of gray should be the basis of of  all our judgement's as well as our prejudices.
