To Teachers Everywhere

With blackboards and chalk pieces,
Art books and drawing sheets,
rulers and geometry sets,
and notebooks, don't forget.
The smell of ink, and first cursive writing
Oh! The feeling, so exciting.
With text books and labels,
with stories and fabels,
you taught us to cross roads,
and today we cross nations and more!
Armed with History, Physics and Chemistry,
we have tried to slove most of worlds mysteries.
Biology and Zoology have shown us where we are from,
but only the future will show us what we've become.
Even though Mathematics flew over my head
English literature saved me from its dread.
We have been to Colleges and Universities,
and it has taught us about human diversities.
Philosophy has always been a friend.
And lets not forget Psychology in the end.
No matter what, we could not have done it without you
You guided us, picked us up, and put us on the best path you knew.
You moulded us like clay,
into the person we are today.
For this we are ever so grateful.
For this we are ever so joyful.
Being a teacher is not easy,
and teaching us couldn't have been breezy.
Yet you stood strong,
and told us right from wrong.
Sometimes you taught in classrooms,
and other times at home.
Wherever possible a lesson was taught,
so we may grow to have a big brave heart.
For this and more I will always cherish you.
My teacher,  my guide, I am what I am, because I learnt from you.
Happy Teacher's Day to each and every teacher, professional or parent, uncle or aunt, friend or foe, who taught us valuable life lessons.

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...

Closure!

What does it mean to not feel anything? To numb the pain that is caused because you felt too much? I have seen break ups in my life, and I have seen friends going through this torturous thing. But what I haven't realized is that, why people need answers to find closure in a relationship? Yes, granted that we have loved that special someone for one, maybe two, maybe more, years. And we expect that, that special someone actually cares about what we feel. But the truth is in a dying relationship, no one actually cares. I mean come on, if they did, why would it die in the first place?? So when we love we love completely...blah blah blah. But when things go wrong, like for instance, your boyfriend/girlfriend cheats on you...or when they act differently to a very crucial situation you are facing, it's taken that the relationship is going to the dogs. When the going gets bad, believe you me, the bad doesn't get going. It only gets worse. And when that happens we say the words, ...
