Ego!

Ego, Ego, Ego
why did you come not to go!

Differences, opinions & view
these have created much hue.


The situation created by my three good friends who were inseparable from each other some time back but now cannot see eye to eye, made me realise that life is not a bed of roses and I spilled out these words in anger.

My very first attempt at something so emotional in poetic verse :)

Find the road of ur life

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
[Ayn Rand]

Childhood and old age - a miraculous combination

We are born dependent on others
We die depending on others

We are born with all four limbs undeveloped
We die with all four limbs non-functional

We crawl towards our growth
We crawl to our end

When we are born we are unable to recognize our family members or anyone for that matter
When we die we are still unable to recognize the outside world

When we are born the only communication we have is the cry
When we die there is no one to hear our sobs

We are lavished with all the attention in the world
We crave for attention when we are nearing the end of our life

We are happily doted on by our fathers and mothers and family
We are left helpless in one corner of the home because the child we took care of is busy taking care of his/her child and has forgotten the parent who took care of him when he was a child

We are introduced to the outside world very eagerly
We remain in one room of the house if there are some guests visiting lest our children are embarrassed

We are given every basic necessity that we need
We are dependent on our children to have our specs repaired and out artificial dentures made

We are happy when we see our grandads and grandmas coz they are the only ones who do not have teeth like us
We understand our grandchild's cry and play with him without our artificial dentures so that he can relate to us

We are yet to see this world
We have been there and experienced it all


Childhood and old age are two stages of life which are very similar to each other though having a gap of 60 years or so. The connection between a grandchild and his grandparents is a very divine one. They both are so similar and different to each other at the same time. They tend to understand each other so perfectly. And when one is not at home the other misses him profoundly. A perfect combination for a growing child and an ageing mother/father coz the child needs attention and the grandparent needs someone to spend time with. PERFECT!

20th march, 2009 - memorable. not for the date. not for the day. just for the fact that i left what i had been enjoying most dese 1 and a half yr. company of some really gud people. ultimately I had decided to move my own CHEESE. and then i too moved with the cheese. change was good. adapting is difficult. wen u get used to some things for a long time and u really enjoy those lively moments in life, u really dont feel like adapting to the change. u tend to become like HEM. but then change is important and advisable too. u need to be someone like HAW who was initially binded to the old cheese but then understood that the best course will be to go in search for the new cheese.
i faced the same situation. i gave up the old cheese in search of new cheese. and i have found my new cheese. but adapting to this new cheese is proving a bit difficult. its not impossible but difficult. the type of casual environment i have always lived is not to be seen till far-off lands :)

well. anyways. 29thmarch. last day in Noida office. shifted to gurgaon. gurgaon boring. trying to adapt. adapting difficult. end of story. period.
