I wish the Answers were Blowin' in the Wind



I remember the time

When sleep meant calming down!


After a day's excitement


It charged me up for another round





It's a little different now


The calm is gone, sometimes the sleep as well!


Excitement, well I try to keep up the levels


Though the real story, the lines on my forehead tell





I crave for nights when I can actually sleep


And feel it like it is the end of the day,


It should feel like a break,


I shouldn't worry just yet for what would happen the next day.





My mind should free up


From the worries of all my accounts.


From the perpetual struggle to add zeroes in the bank's,


To adding likes and comments and other supposedly social counts





They say these are blessings in disguise.


Better to have these pains than nothing at all!


So yes I consider myself to be one of the blessed few,


But then can I ever tell myself, "for my needs, that's all"!





How many nights must I sleeplessly sleep,


Before I can call it a day?


I wish, my friends, that the answer


Was Blowin' in the wind like the say!

I was pretty jobless with no classes at all for a few days. So I interfered in the conversation and passed the message to our broadcasting channel, namely, Miss Shikha Jain. Soon i get a list of interested people, and in a couple of days I booked the railway tickets. "But!" said Naveen, "Takloo (dats my nickname for my last hair style), where are the Darshan Tickets???" I didnt even know we got those tickets from Chennai, and that it was tough to get them. Just a day before we were supposed to leave, we went to the TTD (Tirupati Tirumala Devasthanam ) centre only to find that no tickets were available for 7th Feb, the day we had planned to reach the temple. Disappointed, we came back home, and thought about re planning the trip, but Mr. Aanand and Naveen suddenly find out from s...

One Fine Day...

Someday you just feel like standing out of yourself. Just watch yourself as the world does. Where are you? What is it that the world thinks you are? And most importantly, who are you for yourself. So what is it that you really are? And what makes you what you are. Is it the choices that you make? Or is it but a function of choices made by those around? Or is it neither? Do your choices, your decisions, your actions actually make a difference? Is free will for real? Is it really you who makes those choices, who takes those decisions. Or are these governed by this 4 letter f word. I mean fate. Is it fate that rules? Have you been planted somewhere for a plan to implement itself gradually. Coz they say everyone’s existence has a purpose. Or have you merely been sent to make plans and create a purpose for your life? Are there billions of other co-existing plans that keep colliding with and gelling into each other? As tightly knit as the clock’s gears. Or is it just The Plan that...
