How are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

I woke up at 8:30 because my alarm refused to work and I missed my class but its ok, its just college. What can happen? My attendance will be low, I won't be allowed to give my exams, but its ok, I'm fine, thank you.

I feel like I'm letting go of so much that I wanted to do but its ok, its life. What will happen? After 10 years I might regret all that I missed, I may not be doing what I love, but it's ok, I'm fine, thank you.

Everyday I end up hurting someone even though in a small way but its ok, they'll get over it. How can it be important? I might be left alone without friends to share my life, but its ok, I'm fine, thank you.

I'm happy, I'm safe, I've never seen pain, my life is perfect so its ok. How can that be bad? My future is uncertain and i"m not prepared to face any adverse condition, I might fall apart one day, but its ok, I'm fine, thank you.

I feel useless, people look at me for help but i don't know how to but its ok. Its not my problem, rite? Soon my friends and family may think I'm selfish and don't care about them or anyone, but its ok, I'm fine, thank you.

My problems are my own, I will figure them out, I might fail but its ok. How does that concern you? You peek into my life and try to solve my problems for, I don't need any help, I'm my own person how-so-ever I am, if I need help I'll ask, my failure may be great but my success will follow too, but its ok. I'm fine, thank you.

HELP!

There are many questions that arises in ones mind after an event like the Mumbai blasts occur. I care to voice a few here

..Why is the government not able to do anything solid against terrorism?

...How much longer will the common man have to suffer and die due the negligence of those in power?

...When will the politicians start doing their duty?

....Will we never be able to safe in our own city in our own homes?

There may be many more such questions that fill every niche and corner of our mind every time we are reminded that we are not safe, that we are just waiting ducks for the next terror attack. With no answer in view it can be really disheartening to think that we are powerless in the face of danger. So how do we make a change? This question i believe is the one that outshines every other question because we all want to change the situation we are in. All we need is the way to do it.

Being a true Indian I take many of my inspirations from the Indian film industry :P

For this question too I have one reference...Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Rang De Basanti !!!!

Changing the country IS IN our hands...making it better IS IN our hands too! Join the army, join the IAS, go into politics..there are abundant options available to us, we just need to be able to face the problems that will block our way. If we want the change we have to be the change!! 

On the floor, on the bed
the naked truth is everywhere.
Hide if you want but 
you won't close your eyes
death is a show for the living.
Ignore it, destroy it but
the presence won't fade.
The red splattered around you
carelessly you look on.
Selfishness and fear for self
make you blind of the horror.
You watch life crumbling and choking.
Turn your face or lower your gaze
the picture will haunt you.
You live in your world,
forgetting the reality of our world.
You dream still ignore others
going down the drain.
You live but avoid others 
dying at your foot steps.

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!!!
