THE WORLD TODAY
(Inspired by Eminem)
-Sahil K
What da hell do we want in life?
Struggle? Turf? Power? Wealth or pride?

Do we need power inducing pelf?
Causing disturbances and confusing ourselves!

Confused and driven to da point frm where theres no turning bak!
When feelings go immaterial All da strangle things are “dope” n “whack”!

Is dis what life denotes? Is dis wat our existence means?
Though this world is complacent, the fire in my heart weans!

We are so bloody fascinated abt what is cool!
Looks like we are all like minded fools!

Many say “I AM WHO I AM”, “BE URSELF” and other great things
To all dis, Who da hell is really following??

People think saying da word Fuck a 100 times makes them cool!
God bless ‘em, they’re ill, they are da biggest swearing fools!

Masks, fake smiles and tailor made attitudes for da occasion!
Anything to pretend cool, to quench that yearning sensation!

I tell u, it ain’t abt really showing that u’re cool or not
Its abt losing urself, giving it al u’ve got in 1 single shot!

It ain’t abt da gizmos, da ipods, da Xboxes or da play stations,
Its abt bringing to da fore, ur ideas and imagination!

It ain’t abt da lingo, speech or swears
It’s all abt u and how u care!

It ain’t abt da pubs, girls, bikes or cars!
Its abt overcoming ur inner demons and scars

Many may hate me or criticize what I say!
But they all know it’s true all da way

When will da world grow out of such obsessions?
I check my brain-Damn..no answer in my deepest of imaginations!

Peace……!

It's not just a nice poem but also a worthy thought... When the confusion, the craving for popularity and lack of maturity meet in a person they are bound to lead him to a wrong direction... Indeed a well written piece.. I think what Shravya told me abt your blog was totally true.

AND THAT MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE

My cousin Sakshi(right) and I This is a true incident. Long ago, when I was a kid. I particularly can't recall my childhood as such but this incident runs fresh in my memory! It was the year of 1997 or 98 I suppose. Pretty far back! I had to attend a parent teacher meeting at school (JASPAL KAUR PUBLIC SCHOOL it was in Shalimar Bagh, New Delhi). It really bothered me, it was a menacing day where teachers would just tell my parent particularly these few things "he's very shy", "he doesn't speak", "he's aloof", "he doesn't participate in activities" and I always ended up getting a rather blood staining F in extra-curricular activities in my report card! I was a serious kid, I never talked much, I associated with very few people. I was this little child with lots of thoughts in the head! Lots of doubt, maybe not about sciences or mathematics (I was pathetic at Math initially) but about how people were behaving around m...

DAYS SINCE MIGRATION

MY SIDE OF THE STORY!! Sitiing in my room, one day I was wondering what it was like living in Kashmir, what was the lifestyle of people there, how they lived in the cold valleys, what they ate, how they celebrated, how they socialised? This was when I was very small, so I asked my mother about it, she gave me detailed stories of their illustrative and glorious past. The way they enjoyed the lush green valleys, the wide playgrounds, the snow clad mountains was mesmerising. I thoroughly enjoyed the stories.I longed for living in such a place, away from the hustle of the city life. Life was peaceful there, everyone looked out for each other, festivities were celebrated with great splendour. All these were enough to generate curiosity and make me explore the topic even more. I have since then heard real funny, touchy, and sometimes exaggerated descriptions of incidents that took place in the valley of Kashmir from all my relatives, the smile on their face and the spark in their eyes are pr...

A FEW PRICELESS ENCOUNTERS

Travelling has always been of great interest to me. It opens me up to the infinite hidden things that we miss and those many more people who change the way you percieve things! He asked me if I needed anything to eat.  "Saab vada pav, pav bhaji, misal pav, kuch khaog e?". I shook my head in disagreement and moved forward neglecting something that struck me right away. An impulse of acknowledgement, that something was out of place but I ignored it and moved forward to where I was headed. This was in Panchagani, where I had come on a family visit. We had gone to visit a place called 'table top', so called due to some god forsaken reason that I dint bother much about! So after the trivial encounter or so I thought, I moved forward to the ground which stretched to a circumference of 8km roughly and had a breathtaking view to say the least. We had come around dusk, so we watched the sun with awe and sat there soaking the diminishing radiance of the setting sun! Als...
