Just Another Day..

Hello,

Good Evening..!!

Last few days I was so engrossed with code snippets, environment documents and other environs that I almost lost connection with my own self. I found myself lost in worldly desires and situations. I was stretching myself, in order to please everyone around. My actions were no more my own, but were influenced or shall I say commanded by people who mattered and even those who were just voyagers like me.


Mirror showed me a different image,
One that wasn't mine
Its eyes weren’t sparkling and face was dull as coal.

Signs of worries were embedded,
On its forehead
It did not even evinced my sense of extol.

How could that be my reflection?
For it isn’t smiling
Profusely flowing tears have spread its kohl.

It looks like a loser, about to shatter,
In its shroud
Someone who has rambled, without life’s goal

Is it my duplicate, yeah, must be
My look alike…
Or does this mirror reflects me my own soul.


The silent dark corners of my room got my stare during those sleepless nights. I was astonished at myself.

I asked myself, weather the passion to enjoy each moment diminished, died or is it just an illusionary moment? How can I actually become a puppet of surroundings? I am not just a soap bubble blown in the direction of wind about to be burst? I have always written my destiny and will always continue to do so. I am a rising sun and my dawn is bound to come tomorrow & ever & forever…

And it did came.... The cycle of dawn and dusks continue to come, the only differnce is i am a sun during dawn and moon during dusk.. I rise high, high, very high... yet to touch the pinnacle..

Life Is Beautiful…!!

Keep Smiling,

Bangaluru and me..

Hiyeeeeeee,

Well, i had been quite busy with work of late :( . I even travelled to bangalore for two weeks and no, i am not really happy about that. For a mice like me, staying away from family is like a fish staying away from water. But it was the demand of the hour and my work, so i had to agree and leave my dear delhi and my life, my family, my friends behind and fly to a new nest for few days.


Here comes my experience at Bangalore, which ironically was exactly opposite of what I had expected… May be because I had no time to roam around and see the actual bangaluru and all I saw were few software engineers, trying to get their bugs fixed..





BangalorE WitH my EyeS

In this silicon vally of india,
No one stops for rest and relief.
Everyone seems so engrossed,
I wander, when do they breath.

Concrete roads are fully loaded,
Audibility confines to horn's sound.
All i can see here is, these robotics,
Expressionless faces moving around.

People here are the busiest,
A smile is not free anymore.
Those elated moments of life,
Are lost in my days of yore.

Take me away from here,
For I have nothing left to do.
I am all alone here, with me,
My solitude has left me too.


This Bangalore trip is now buried down in my memory lane. And after being back to Delhi, with my family I feel resurrected.

Looking back at my trip today, i do miss some bits of bangalore in delhi. The amazing weather and the wonderfull empire juice shop of EGL food court have taken my heart away.

Also the solitude of bangalore gave me the oppurtunity to know myself better, To stop for a while and observe the surroundings, To live each moment with passion driven by heart. The small time slot left was enough for me to catch up few books and analyse the worldly situations too.

So just stay tuned for my views on my latest reading list. ..


Till then,
Keep Smiling
AkankshA
