Uncertainty! My Friend or My Foe!

When I look at you,

I admire your calm;

I admire your endless beauty!

I feel I’m glad you are a part of my life!

Yet, I am mystified!

Your placid calmness scares me!

Your tranquility disturbs me!

It is a silence that never answers my queries!

It is a stillness that though extends the hand of friendship,

Often turns out to be a death call!

You enjoy it! Don’t you?

Do I call you my friend? My well wisher?

Who is extending me his piece of knowledge and experience!

Or my foe who is looking forward for my fall?

It is a question unanswered! It is a question filled with ambiguity!

Yet, I look at you!

I look deep into your eye, trying to find an answer!

An answer that answers the uncertainty in my eye!

The uncertainty that you put me into!

But you seem to be no where around!

For you are the uncertainty personified!!

This poem is dedicated to my friend Sharath!

Consistency is the Key!

Today I did the impossible possible! I woke up early in the morning and went for an early walk along with my dad! My dad has been going for early morning walking for the past 15 years! Though being constantly insisted by my dad to join him in the early walk I have always given reasons and escaped! But today I made it! Though it was extremely arduous, I still managed to do it! I felt I was on top of the world and as if I have achieved a big milestone in my life! While I was enjoying the morning walk and the awesome Bangalore weather, I was wondering about certain things! Today is the first day of the walking, hmmm... that’s great! Keep it up sweetie! But how many days will this trend follow? Will I be able to come every day? Will I make it a habit? I really wonder! But then, Yeah, if I could achieve this impossible task of waking up every day early in the morning and come for the regular walk, won’t I be successful in reaching my goal? Well, of course I would! But will that happen?

The last few months of my MBA program has taught me a lot of things! But I have figured out one mantra to success! And that is nothing but “Consistency is the Key!” Yes, consistency is the key that can unlock the door to happiness and achievement. It’s the factor that differentiates a loser and a winner! What’s special about Sachin that is not about Sehwag or Dhoni! Hmmm! Its consistency! Over the couple of years, Sachin has become synonymous with consistency! When the whole team fails, it’s his reliability that keeps the hopes of Indians alive! So will I be able to maintain the enthusiasm with which I woke up today! Will I be able to make it a habit and not a rarely event?

Well a lot of times we see people complain- I worked really hard, yet I failed! I don’t know why my luck is so bad! I don’t know why God is being so unfair to me and etc (Definitely I am one of them!). But how many of us are sincere to ourselves! How many of us do a self analysis and check if we are fair enough to the work we are doing (no matter whatever it is!). Over the years, I have seen that be it studies, job, relationship, marriage, friendship, business etc only when there is consistency, it survives! Only when the efforts are continuous, the focus is persistent and the actions enduring, we achieve the impossible! Or rather sustain the impossible made possible! So the next time you crib about something, pause for a second and think, was I consistent in my actions, were my efforts enduring and it’ll explain the results that you have achieved, good or bad!

Now let me think again! Will I go for walking everyday! Will I achieve my goal of reducing weight? Consistency is the Key, baby!

Not Your World!!!

Hey you! Yes You!!

Are you proud to be one?

Well, please don’t be!

Because this is not your world!

This is not your world, dear!

You have no right to live here!

You have no right to think!

You have no right to dream!

Nor do you have the right to life!

You are a slave, Miss!

Yes! A slave to the people around you!

You are nothing but a commodity!

A commodity traded at every point of life!

You are a burden to your parents!

And to the person who owns you!

Your silence is their triumph!

Your patience is their weapon!

Your humility is their virtue!

You are nothing but a mere toy!

This is not your place, Dear!

Dedicated to those bunch of peverts who dared to molest thier sisters!
