y did it happen 2 me

She was somebody whom I knew for years
And we had been through smiles and tears.
Our friendship turned people around green
And I wish the thing were as they had been

But both time and people change
And now her face has become strange
Her feelings have changed, also her behavior
All I am left with is pain to bear

She has moved on to people who are better
And in this God has been a great helper
She has found people who will be better friend
Those who would be there till very the end

Just hope that her life is devoid of tear
And of sadness she has no fear
And now, in her life, I realize who I was
I… I was just a brief pause

For her I was a railway station
Just another stop before her final destination
Like a train she stopped at it for some time
And I like an idiot thought she was mine

Those were the times when we fought a lot
But now I wish she forgets me not
‘Coz now she has gone for her destination
With me dying for her affection

In all this confusion, a friend I lost
The friend whom I valued the most
Between us the things are rough
In fact we aren’t talking enough

And with every talk leading to more pain
Love looks less boon and more bane
I wish I could forget her forever
‘Coz as it is she remembers me never

But I still look at horizon everyday
Hoping she would return someday
She won’t come back … she is long gone
With me left but all alone.

This is my fate and I know this well
But my heart would beat for her till my knell

Shouldn’t we be any different?

Getting up at 0530 Hrs in the morning, attending 6 hours classes, coming back home to put in another couple of hours and continuing this routine for almost a year is what it took me to get into IIT (allegedly one of the best institutes in the world). And not only me but almost all the iitians must have put near about same number of hours to crack the coveted JEE. Also for every IITian there are 99 other who follow a similar pattern but do not make it. During their preparation the (would be) iitians can cough up formulas in sleep, solve equations like a computer and reason anything at the speed of light. So one would expect the same students (read the brightest in India) to respect the institute (for which they had to work so hard) and continue the same way to eventually become overachievers (as they are hyped to be). But the real question is do they? I would disagree with anyone who thinks they do. Let me tell you a few anecdotes. Just few months into my first year one ...

Me vs Wild

Sunday the 23rd May would be forever etched into my memory. That was the day when I found out what taking risks could mean. We were to go on a hiking trip, nothing much just walk around for 8 miles and come back. Well things don’t go as we plan it to be. For the starters I woke up late, this is the usual me. I was almost forced to go by my colleagues and they gave me just enough time to brush my teeth. In the haste that was caused, my colleague filled my bottle with warm water (I had to bear that torture for the whole day). But ok we got into an extra small car with no leg space for my already hurting leg which cycled for 3 hrs the previous day. Still bearable coz there was supposed to be a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. In this case it was a mountain at the end of the road. So we got out and everybody started walking and talking (in French). I could not get a word that was spoken and could not get why I was walking under the hot Sun on a perfectly fine Sunday. Also after an ho...
