Forgetfulness


Life Death
Love Hatred
Success Failure
Hope Rejection
Happiness Sadness
Knowledge
Fun Dejection
Time Laughter
You Me

Well, you all might be thinking why I am writing these words. I am writing them, because I forgot what they meant to me in these 3 months. I unlearnt everything related to them in these 3 months. Whatever I presumed about them, all went wrong today. Whatever I showed to the world regarding these words, they were either totally wrong and  I became a good actor or I was right in all those days, and I am getting it wrong now.

I forgot what is love ,
for me it turned out to be a 4 letter word to be repeated time and again to prove my love for my “loved” ones.

I forgot what is hatred ,
For me it was another 4 letter word to be used for nobody.

I forgot what is happiness ,
For me it was just a passing by emotion aroused only upon the success of my undertaken assignments.

I forgot what is laughter ,
For me it was another long passing by emotion aroused by force.

I forgot what is sadness ,
For me it was the most frequently visited site of emotion field.

I forgot what is rejection,
For me It was just a way of showing “you are not fit”

I forgot what is hope ,
For me, it was yet another emotion which was rarely visited because nobody was eager to show it to me.

I forgot what is success ,
For me, it was somebody else’s failure,
For me it was my triumph over somebody.

I forgot what  is failure ,
For me, it was the best friend I could get.
For me, it was the underachievement of my petty goals of life.

I forgot what  is time ,
For me it was the sun rising and the sun setting.

I forgot what is fun ,
Once again, it was nothing but artificial

I forgot what is dejection, 
For me, it was just a way of showing others that “my life isn’t perfect as yours”

I forgot what is knowledge ,
For me, it was a way of scoring scores, and in turn making money.

I forgot who you are,
For me, you were yet another human

I forgot who I am,
For me, I was just a machine.

I forgot what is life ,
Because I stopped living it.

I forgot what is death ,
Because I was the living dead.

I forgot everything, but today somebody made me remember all.

My perspective... Strictly mine... part 1


A story about the the kids of the yesteryars and the youthful youth of today!

Time has changed... Those who were in grade 4 or 5 a few years ago are doing their undergraduate and i feel that time is flying with a
superspeed.I am gonna tell u about the things which i have seen in  the past 2700 days...

I never felt the competition till 12th grade or so because i didnt cared about iits, nits et cetera... they were dreams which were never going to be fulfilled and i never gave a damn about them.... i wanted to enjoy my life a bit( not that iitians or nitians dont enjoy, but that was my perspective) .I always thought that moral lessons and GK classes are just  escape from the Sci , maths and Soc. Sci..English was painful... that was an exceptional... we never used derogatory, inflammatory ( and all the - tory words used these days by the ministers to ban these -tory things)... We moved on. I reached higher secondary level....  we were told that the outside world is ruthless, cut throat, its all rat race... et cetera ... so we have to concentrate more in our  studies and quit those moral lessons, and the most important games classes... :(  the same dialogue was
used in the lower classes to and so moral lessons was virtually closed .... so to face the ruthless world, we had to sacrifice the "moral lessons" ( i was not so sad regarding this even at that time)...
Back to the main point.. the face of the youth changed... all turned towards orkut... ( i still dunno wat does orkut mean) ... we suddenly grew... moved more freely... all turning their heads towards something which is not flesh.... Time indeed changed...

Now we entered college, a new place, a new set of rules to be broken.... but the main thing was we were facing the world.. the same ruthless world....  here it was a rat race at every point... strategies at every point... how to please the lecturers????? :O ... wickedness at a new level...
Most of our own kind can write their own books and all will be a best seller.. iam sure about it...
lengthy classes, lengthy homeworks, lengthy assignments, lengthy records but but but very short time... I am not blaming anyone but just sharing the same plight...
We are running and running forgetting something and that something is very very large... Today irrespective of the grades we receive, we are under stress at some point of time.... Our curriculum says that we should have relaxation classes at least twice a week... sadly like our moral lessons they too were turned into
something worthless... ofcourse in the beginning we had those classes which were headed by some scholars (obviously not in relaxation)... so it was of no use...
In college, we are supposed to learn most of the things on our own, but the thing is we have to sacrifice one out of the two.... ithulle ehavadhu onne thodu... touch one of the fingers-academics or practical learning,of course many stalwards are there who touch both the fingers and succeed but i am not one among them...
I touch only one finger at a time... ofcourse we are forgetting something... that something can be anything from happiness, love, "being human" to many more things...We all are getting nuclear, our dimensions are reducing exponentially.... and this worries me a lot... cos i am seeing this exponential graph and it makes me sick...
have we all forgotten something.... ???
We are learning but we are not learning completely, dats y some "spiritualistic" people say we r like dogs... we dunno anything as compared to what "they" know..(see what modern edu. has brought us into) ;) jokes apart...
Everything has got shortcuts and loopholes and we at this age are using all the possible ones making things easier but unknowingly we are indeed making ourselves look fools because nothing comes easily and what we are getting are for only a short span of time... what we do harder, lasts longer.... we all are conning ourselves, at least i am doing so, dunno about others...cant say... we are seeing what we want to see and that's not called LIFE...
We are not complete... running after something at all point of life... like that donkey running after d carrot... its never gonna get it but it runs... This is the best example to show our plight
... some are not donkeys( they are clever enough not to run in vain) .... some are helpless... some tend to find new ways... so join the club... whic one are u gonna join??

even when  iam writing this, when i am ending this, i dunno why i am doing so because i have more to go... the real thing will come soon...

Ps. Dedicated to all those who see the same thing which i am seeing...
