A second chance..


It was once again that I trotted onto that very path...whose memory often left me aghast.
What do I do..?
Now where do I turn..?
How do I cross the point of no return..?
Thousands of questions arose within me, there was a lot of doubt.
Can I succeed this time? Or will it be my path out?
Out of my dreams, out of my ambitions, out into a vast world where people live other's aspirations?

Then again I gave it a thought ,I had a chance to do it again.
Many people vie for it but all in vain. Now that I had it why shan't I use it again?
A second chance, to convert my past loss into gain?.


I knew what was lost wouldn't return,
that fire which burned will continue to burn.
But then again I got a turn, not to undo what has been done, but to do whatever that can be done.
Having decided what to do, went forward to walk it through ,have been walking on it since then, knowing there's little pleasure and lot of pain.
But now I know what I will attain!

Once ...

Once I asked... "Oh Lord tell me....Why does it happen only with me that the hard ways of life accompany me?".. On every path that  I went, wasn't straight but bent, Every U turn I took with care, left me with little hope...with greater despair.. A journey which did ,never end,nor  was it ever smoother at the other end... Often I wonder ..am I heading the right way?..where happiness lay? because  trouble's always at bay.. Was it right ,whatever I  did? Or do I live the consequence of every misdeed.. .... A little did I know what awaited me... I was about to be free because ,then  came a path.. straight and wide.. a path which then, I travelled with pride..., every trip was  a trip so smooth  that, the pain of the rocky roads tht I was on, Now it was all gone.. .... I travelled tht path with much ease... no strong winds but a cool breeze This went on  for so long, tht I began to feel ill at ease! This situation...

Petting tweety

As I am a bird-lover…my mom..recently bought me a parrot(The Indian ringneck parrot….female one)..which eventually led into many interesting and funny issues... (Initially you wouldnot be getting what I am saying but as you scroll down you will definitely understand..) Issue1: We had to transfer the parrot into another big cage..(as it was initially kept in a bamboo cage) Issue2: Then was the “namkaran”(naming ) issue!!! What will we call our ‘green’ member? Issue3: The feeding issue! The first issue required great effort actually!!!...Transferring the parrot into the big cage was the hell of a job..it involved all members of our family..lol! What we did was placed the cages(The bamboo and the metal one) side by side such that the doors opened into each other…and then we tied both the cages so that she would not fly out!... But this parrot proved to be smarter than any one of its species !!! Seriously! ...

You were born original..don't die a copy!

   "I want to be like "Tom Cruise",exclaimed someone in the audience. "And I like Ronaldo!" ,exclaimed another... I sighed and switched off the TV.I was watching some discussion where people were being asked ,"If you were reborn,who would you like to be?" "Are you thinking what's the point of such discussion?!",you must be thinking I am being hypercritical...right?? Well ,there are times when some situations have a subliminal influence,influences which we often fail to realize.... and what I realized is, today everyone wants to be like some one else... originality,these days, is a  rare  commodity. Just think of the people around you,be it any field,a career path, in looks, self portrayal ,etc..You will notice different people all running after the same thing!!Irrespective of their individual capacity!!.. Strange isn't it!. We all have different genetic makeup,different abilities..but all run aft...
