The Sound of glass...not just another college leaving post.

Ask anyone of us in college, what are you doing these days?The answer would be the same. Same to the point of being, well boring. Well, I know we are all enjoying our last days in college. Yes, we are having the time of our lives. Yes the coming exams do not scare us one bit(that fear actually disappered a long time ago). Yes, we are all looking forward to the future.

Yes, we will miss these days. Yes we will miss sitting in the canteen for hours talking pointlessly, like we do now. Yes, we will miss the fun in the hostel. Yes we will miss the night outs just before the exams. Yes will miss the sleeping in classes, copying assignments...the usual things. Yes we will miss these four years. Yes, we will miss all the friends we made here. Yes, we know these days would never come back again.

The external happiness apparent in all of us, when you see us enjoying to our hearts outs, hides the pain, the pain of seperation, from college and friends, it hides the fear, the fear of losing, losing all whom you like, after college ends. That, despite the sound of glass of our carefreeness and happiness in our last days, is what my and your eyes are fighting to explain.

In the words of Jim Morrison:

The sound of glass
Speaks quick
Disdain

And conceals
What your eyes fight
To explain...

"Months of Life"

The Comeback Post: "Months of Life" The Delhi Metro finally gave me some respite. It opened in South Delhi and instead of me driving around the Ring Road- DND Route everyday, I was now a true "Metro Man". I had been envious all this while, of people living in East Delhi and West Delhi and North Delhi, as they had something which we, in the south did not have- The Metro! The relief from the driving meant though long hours still in metro. Now the challenge came, to a restless soul like me, on how to pass that 1 hour, sitting alone in the metro. In the underground stretch, the GPRS did not work, so the good old Facebook or Twitter were out. I tried to be constructive initially, taking with me, like a seasoned businessman, a copy of the morning business newspaper. Opening that, always inspired envious glances in the Metro. I got bored of that pretty fast, I realized, I had already gone through the grind of daily Economic Times reading during my MBA placement days, 1.

Thoughts on love... I have been thinking lately, thinking a lot, about things, about people, about love. Triggering the thought process are questions, questions for which there are no definite answers. Questions for which the more you search, the more you find how much less you know. Yes, I am talking about love, the hows and whys of it. The ins and outs of it. The answers though for most of these questions have been elusive. But the important thing which I found compelling was the whole concept of ‘falling in love’. For, what I thought, one must rise, not fall in love. Love should be the force which makes us stronger, not weaker. What makes you weak, what distracts you from your priorities in life is not love. It is just a passing phase. But what makes you stronger, what enables you to work even harder towards achieving your goals, what gives you the courage to carry on despite all odds, is what is commonly called love. That does not change with changing seasons. That is the one with

Collaborations....Siddharth Saxena Feat Rashmi Priyadarshini Part 2 Roads gone by... (A new poem co-written along with one of my very good friends.) "Zindagi ke safar main gujar jaate hain jo muqaam. Woh phir nahi aate woh phir nahi aate. " Smiles, laughter, joy and the play. The image of the girl, with that smiling face. Crushes and heartbreaks, every other day. All come back to me, Sweet memories as they say. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. The childhood fights, the friends for life. The first drink, those times we spent. The first love, those promises, kept and unkept. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. The gesture of your eyes, the pain in my cries. That midnight kiss, that first time hitch. Yes, there was something that your laughter had to say. Like the signboards on the highway. Roads gone by, not meant to stay. Those small small gifts, the after day rifts. That wa
