Amusement Park

Seems like I am in an amusement park going on a bumper car ride. Managing people is an art, managing people of your city is strenuous, managing people of your state makes your life miserable, managing people of your nation is unimaginable. I am talking about a country thats infested with machines, thoughtless, their attitude towards their life unimpressive and towards others lives so indifferent. A country where more than 10000 Gods are worshipped, where people fear mistakes, have no control what so ever. From bumping traffic signals to spitting on their roads, make them special. Lane traffic, can never be implemented due to the tremendous amount of population, their civic sense needs to be applauded, their gratitude for others have no boundaries. A country where Mahatma Gandhi was born, a country where legends like Bhagat Singh and Mother Teressa hail from was given to dogs after 1947. Sometimes I wish India was still ruled by the British. Atleast then the rules and regulations would have its regard. People drive on roads, no one's life is made easy. Their acumen and adeptness, make them skilled drivers. Given a chance all of them could be a part of Formula 1. Not concerned about any fellow human, they drive their way to destiny. Whether others reach their destinations or not, we are not concerned. Foolishly standing when the signal's red waiting for others to pass by...educated people, are even more in a rush to get to their work places, their anxiety overpowering their patience. What makes life easy, we have no clue. Our behavior is the reflection of our culture, our up bringing and our historical heritage. Rectification begins from home. Obsession about your own ideas and walking your talk makes us living examples. Lets not advocate our ideas, lets walk it first. Life is a very serious game, its not a bumper car ride.

Lexington-my wonderland

Flew into the wonderland of opportunities
Seeking a future really bright, I land
A wonderful breeze from the bluegrass tickle my senses
A sense of accomplishment fills my heart with pride
Unaware of the adversities, I strutted with confidence
Highly elated I walked in to experience a new culture
Knowledge and wisdom imparted with new style was a piece of entertainment
As said, there is a calm before strong
No later than I felt the joy of learning, I was immersed in an outrageous storm of assignments and projects, which almost choked me to death, when I called out for help
Wandered day and night pondering about my priorities and choices
Notes of Sleeplessness swept in, singing songs of glory
Nights became nightmarish, colors seemed gray and blue
Laughter and tears vanished into the work, like a falling star
there came down the isle of heaven, a paragon
Lord's wand had its charm on me
A selected few from the buzzing lot, offered to help
They brought me joy
Helped me learn the value of emotions
value of love, magnanimity of uniqueness
and the truth of life.....

Now the wonderland seems a tough place to live without most of you...and also a pleasant place cos of a very few....
Its been quite sometime since I wrote a blog..Hope it doesn't seem like a blooper to you...
Its ok if it seems to u like one, I am glad I made a fool of myself, just to make you laugh....

Take care buddies...
