Unfolded eyes

Tears shed past her ignorant eyes

But expressions triumphed over feeling of deprived

Distant were colors for those woeful eyes

However a feeling so vivid was there to suffice

Stars lit up in the mysterious sky

But such excitement immersed in her eyes

As if search only was desired by her sight

Such a feeling sustained vision of joy

Where darkness plunge into melting sky

Where glaciers melt into streams which never dry

A journey where birds fly through wide ranges

Is where she breaths air of freshness

Fallacies and deceit are alien for her

Instead blessings around her are like devotion for her

When night falls we ponder over dreams inside

Ignorant of rain which reveals outside

But ecstasy and joy is only prevalent in her eyes

She dares in the rain like maiden in full flight

It seems that her delight is beyond our conventions

In a moment of such delight she has visualized essence of heaven

But still we assume that she is ignorant and deprived

Though she flows like water which is purified

Like a twinkle in an eye

The Road Not Taken

TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler,
long I stood And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood,
and I— I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

The Forces Of You

When she weeps,
the curtains rebel,
incensed, they foment,
they crease,
they flutter without a breeze,
even the damn blinds split open,
each lip trembling
crackling and popping,
like leaves at unease;

and when she turns away in sorrow,
her face to the wall,
the celibate AC,
celebrates the moment,
in excitement, in vigor,
it revves up, becomes enticed,
beleagured it lets tumble
shooting forth from the wall,
all its spiced electric juices,
chilled but chaste,
they rush to the sighs,
she has sung into the dawn;

when she wails,
the pale white paint,
chips crackles and rips
breaking like branches
off the tree of ceiling:
the dampness to which they peel,
is from the humidity of her tears;
even though I like to believe
that water-stains brought their demise,
secretely I’ve known their pain.
The paint is skinned and flayed,
because it reacts to her exclaims;

when her silence hangs heavy,
the dreary house fears infinity,
cold invisible wraiths rumble,
and silent electric snakes
whisper, slithering uninvited;
and death falls like dew,
and breath becomes a recluse,
and fear reigns in the stillness,
and all this
leaving the TV
no choice but to scream
out loud
intense
extreme,
until volume loses it voice,
and its throat goes hoarse,
it becomes white noise,
and black and white splotches of snow,
pleading for her to bring back life,
for her to once again please,
speak
please.

Reservation in Educational Institutes: Is that what we need??

I was very livid when i first heard about this issue. But what i really fail to understand is that how can someone llike Dr. Manmohan Singh agree to it. Age and Power i guess does this to the most learned of all men. Or is it again our shadow prime minister having her way. (again!) I have never been impressed by her and never will be becuase to me she looks like a shrewd tactician who knows how to win elections very well and can go to any lengths for this. The impending elections are a case in point.
Why is the goverment looking to spoil the next set of entrepreneurs by giving seats on a platter to people who hardly deserve a seat, whilst thousands of intelligent wannabe managers slug it out in the battle where even a 0.01 percentile is going to make a huge difference. This decesion may affect the branding of the IIM’s and even IIT’s hugely …as top notch corporates would never want to recruit dumb asses who just made it because their district collector gave them a certificate that they belong to a section of society that’s the so called Minority. These Minority based reservations seem ok in a goverment job, where not much of intelligence is used or in places where basic job and shelter is provided, not certainly in high profile business schools like the IIM’s and the IIT’s. So dont be shocked if some one who does not even know the CAT from the dog goes on to IIM-A and the real people end up somewhere else. Tell me whom will it hurt more… the IIM’s or the aspiring wannabes. It will be the former as the corporates would never want to recruit those dipshits even if they graduate from the premier colleges, unless the government has its way and manages to coax the private sector into reservation too. and that is the perfect recipe for disaster.
can we allow this to happen? can we seiously let the hard work of past 15 years go down the drain?
and what can be the mother of all ironies we are getting this from a guy who himself was responsible for india shining…
what i seriously feel is that as a developing country we can ill afford to have the luxury of reservations.
and as far as backward classes are concerned, we need a pragmatic approach. sole reservation is not the solution. we need to go bottoms up. we need to provide them basic educational infrastructure, as not many such people benefit from the existing structure. and then let them come up and compete with others. after all OBC or no OBC it is a free market after all.
but sadly this will not interest our politicians as it would not serve their purpose.
I see the motives of the governments of India to be what they are: the blatantly odious manipulation of the population by pandering to the basest desires of people to gain advantage over others. Vote bank politics taken to absurd extents that destroy the cohesion so necessary for not just economic growth but social development as well
Is Dr Manmohan Singh so powerless as to agree to such morally depraved and socially dangerous policies?
