Seven Point Something!!

December 16th, 2004

We got the LAN connections set-up at our place. Then, I had two bottles of beer, and friends say I got insane in that. Dearest Changu said that I behaved kinda weird the next day that is December the 17th, Anamika’s birthday, when we went to pay our electricity bill. I seldom remember anything. And I had made a resolution, not to drink for a year! And I am successful in completing it.

Everyday has some significance in our life. So has 16th of December in my life…

16th of December, 2005.

A special day indeed…  I made a call back home, and suddenly, I find myself too close to Papa. And this day has become a special one in my life... I don’t exactly know in which way it is... or may be I do, but all I know at this instant is that it is special.

It, whatever it is, a relation or a feeling…

Moments before, I completed “Five Point Someone” written by Chetan Bhagat
 
And after having reading that I can say a few things about our Alma-Mater, our IIIT, the Indian Institute of Information Technology, in lines of that under performer.. the first thing about leaving IIIT would be that I don’t have to attend those boring lectures anymore and no more classes.. ahh.. That’s a good thing…

But the bad thing is that I won’t be able to see my friends’ with the very start of my day, everyday!

I will miss my hostel.

I will have a new set of responsibilities but God, I will miss those days.. coz yes, I may leave IIIT, but in a way, my soul still stays here...

Maybe in the hostel corridors of Nandi Villa or AQ-5 or the chai waali didi's chais... and every crazy thing that I did here, right from falling in love to whatever... once only, but to cherish, for always..

dream

Hello People, which dream do you want to chase today?

the making of a poet...

To understand life, spend a few days in heaven
Fly, Glide, Float
Chase a cloud
Ride an elephant
Do a spice tour
Pick strawberries, cycle romantic trails
Trek deep dark forests
Embark on jungle safari
Talk to the mountain goat
Loose your heart to a wild flower
Surrender to the rejuvenating touch of nature
Visit the gods

And then, you are born anew…

A hundred musicians awake your spirit
Magical torches shed light on the unknown
Warriors flashing blades of steel ward of evil
Majestic elephants stand guard
Thousands wait with baited breath
Suddenly the music reaches a psychedelic crescendo
Giant spirits in astounding forms emerge

And then, you are blessed…

Step in watercolors by god
In a million shades of green
The endless backwaters meander
Lilies bloom, lotuses smile
Children play, coir women sing
Butterflies dance, fishes plop
Birds dive, elephants bathe
The wind whispers
Paddy fields prance
Bullock carts jingle
Ducks glide, boats sail
Life flows

And then, suddenly, you are a poet…

n e v e r...

Never a day passes that I do not remember

the afternoon classes
the bunking on streets
the quick step on stairs
the roaming moments
the regular quarrels
the essence that was in life

Never a day passes that I do not remember

And never a day passes that I do not remember
I remember in the presence of things
The cheerfulness, the beauty, the energy
The passion that was in life
The love stamped indelibly in me
The empty seat at my heart

I remember because it hurts for things that are no more!

And never a day passes that I do not remember
And quiet often I remember
I Cry.
