You Are The Architect Of Your Own Destiny

Your dreams, decisions and deeds

Are the fodder on which destiny feeds. 

O mystical man! You have the wings to fly

Flutter them and try.

Know no leaps or bounds,

And your dreams will be found.

Brake old barriers, chart new course,

Sail ahead with full force.

Build foundations strong and wide,

For that will help your castle to survive ( jolts, quakes or landslides).

Your determination, dedication and devotion to the cause,

Must go undeterred without pause.

You are a designer freak

Design your destiny. Chances are bleak 

It will not listen to you.

But this fact is realised only by a few,

And they today rule the world

While the others in their own cocoons are curled.

O thy mortal! Arise, awaken from your slumber,

Don't lose hope, courage you muster.

From the ashes of the old and obsolete,

Rise the phoenix of all that is pertinent and concrete

To take you higher and higher in your quest

Your conquest, the universe will attest.

If you detour, deviate or dwell in the past,

A black shadow will be cast.

So, stop building castles in the air

You are the architect, go out there

Chart the path of your life.

To help, the universe shall strive.

FAST FOOD : THE TASTE OF DEATH

The times are for sure changing, and so is our lifestyle, our diet!

The readily available fast food is much in demand. Cheap and speedy. the 'Heat, Thaw n Eat' principle they call it. But where is it taking us to? Well, we certainly end up in the hospital after sometime.

The lifestyle of the city people is such that no one has time to cook. And those who do have the time, have no intention of taking the pain to cook. It is of course alot easier, to pick up the phone, dial a number and order. Within minutes the delicious delicacy is at your doorstep!

But do we think further, about whats inside that ready made meal you are happily devouring? 

Oil which would increase the cholesterol, tasting chemicals that lead to mental disorders, calories which we don't burn and much more. Over a period of time, regular exposure to them starts showing up in the form of heart diseases, obesity, blood pressure problems etc. We are left to take numerous visits to the hospitals, spending gigantic sums of money on treatment.

Thus, it is better to think before indulging as life and health are more important taste, for life is golden!

GIVE IT A BREAK !

Well i guess getting philosophical in the last two posts was what has been keeping me away from blogging. There are times when you don't know who on earth has taken over the reins of your soul.

Lets get back. I would prefer some mundane topics .

exempli gratia : What is it like living in NOIDA?

Yeah .............. guess thats a good one!

NOIDA : the oh-so famed hub of it all.

Well its a fairly cool place to stay and hang about with TGIP and CSM etc etc. And certainly one of the most famous places in the world! We had corespondents all the way from BBC and CNN right here. And we had news ............ the world sat there glued to their TV sets ! Transfixed ! Staring at D - 5, Sector - 31, NOIDA .

The story was about some bones (decomposed) found in a drain behind a house believed to be of human beings. The media and police started its investigation , in which the media as usual was one step ahead. It turned out that little kids from the adjoining village were kidnapped ( rather tricked) and harassed . Then there bones were acidified and then thrown into the drain behind.

Next up, traces of human flesh found around the microwave! It seemed that they were cannibals.

Soon after D -5 , Sector - 31, became a tourist site ! Give it a break ! Do the others living here don't have anything better to do than turning into a guide showing the world how proud we are of these famed crime sites in our city???

This was about a year back! Guys, this is India! The investigation is still on. Its predicted (everyone is rather sure) that the owner of the house will manage to get away with it while the servant would be the one paying for it all.

No longer was this incident forgotten and the people in noida got back to normal, the feeling of insecurity returned . This time the finger was pointed towards loved ones. A cold hearted story which left one and all aghast! The Aarushi double murder case was undoubtedly something out of my frequency. The agencies seem to be equally perturbed, and if they know the case they just don't seem to be willing to expose it.

The disgusting part is how these lowest minds on Earth work. You'd be left amazed by the shallow thinking of these supposedly Homo sapiens sapiens. Some of them go about telling everyone to get attention, and others went a step ahead to say they were from D.P.S. noida even when they aren't. This, just because Aarushi studied there.

Is attention all that you want? Do something that gets you on the TV ( read : something awesome which makes you standout ... i don't mean to tell you to go ahead n commit such heinous crimes) and then brag about it and try grabbing all the attention you want!

So guys , Give it a break!

ROSES ARE NOT ALONE!

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens......

Hey.............hang on!
The rose hurts.

Yes coz the rose is not alone . It is forever accompanied by its companion ............... THORNS.

Just expecting a bed of roses is not a wise thing to do . Cause ultimately you have to walk through the bed of thorns. Happiness is always followed by a low time. And just when u start losing all hope , a ray of light emerges out of the blue and your day is brightened up.

Being steady is the key.

We all blame it on others . But why are we so disappointed in the first place?

Great Expectations !

We all just sit and expect . Actually it isn't really necessary to go through the thorns. There is another way out. Just don't expect anything. You are the only being on earth you can rely on. The world would conspire to help u only if you try helping your own self. If you are the one handling everything in life you have no one to blame it on and trying things your own way would give you the kind of satisfaction which would be inaccessible if you would have got it done by someone else . Hence , by decreasing our dependency we can even decrease the disappointment.

So lets face the thorns with courage and keep our spirits high coz :
"AFTER EVERY SAD DAY
COMES A GLAD DAY "
