Death


In the cloud of smoke

I imagine what death is going to be

The death of swift and painless

Or slow and tortuous…..


The life of materialism is so useless

People running here and there

To gain an ounce of happiness which doesn’t even matter!!

Having the look in the deep sunken eye

All conveying the same thought

Why is he or that such a pain in the ass!!


While growing up, I never imagined such hollowness

The hollowness which can never be filled

No matter what you do, it still out there

Its rightly said man`s greed has no end.


I on the other hand have no wish, no worries to do this or that

All I wanted was a calm mind and the adolescent dream

I wanted to be with her and die holding her hands

The last image being that lovely face of hers


Alas!! It was planned something else

I only had her for borrowed time

The love, the hope all gone with her

She`s gone, the feeling of hopelessness is what I am left with


Sadly the time has come to carry on without her

But the dream of holding her hand still lingers inside

It`s such a pain and I don’t want that

Death please be swift and finish me off as effortless as permissible.

*Sigh* *Sigh* Why the hell do the i had to do that? Why couldn`t i have just listened to the people around me and done the right thing? Inspired by the poem "Road Not Taken", Harish for the first time went forward with his grand plans and did the right thing according to him.

Harish by nature was a carefree guy who never had dreams of his own. He used to do what others told him. He went to school and passed with good grades, all for the sake of his parents. He studied for engineering entrance test because his friends were doing it. Most of his friends had the dream of going to a perfect college and graduating with a perfect placement. And all Harish wanted to do was what his friends wanted to do. He had never given a serious thought to his life, career or even what was he going to do the next day. But all this changed after his coincidental meeting with a spiritual guru. The guru instilled a feeling of belief and pride in him and gave the "pravachan: Beta tu woh kar jo tera dil kahe......dusro ki mat sun....jo dil kare wahi kar" These were the life changing days for the young man who never cared for a thing in his life. After the departure of the Guru and his Pravachan, Harish went again back to his old ways.

One day he happened to catch hold of an old battered book in the library. Gazing and fast forwarding through the book, a thought provoking picture caught his attention. What he saw was a man with looking forward towards a road which was branching into two roads. One road was a busy road and everyone used to travel upon it. The other was a less frequent upon. Harish in order to satisfy his curiousity starting reading the poem. Externally he only took 5 minutes to read the poem but internally seeds of storm were being planted. He started thinking about his life and made a list of things which he wanted to do and the things he did because others did. List 2 was full and could have run into pages. List 1 had only Prerna. The girl whom he had crush upon in school. Due to some misfortune, he hasn`t been able to talk to her for years now. She was one being disappoint for him and now he harbours no feelings for her.

After reading that poem, something changed. His way of looking towards the same old things changed drastically. Lets say he became wiser and more worldly. And today was the first time he actually did what his heart told him and not what his friends told him. But sadly he failed miserably.

9 things you shouldnt do when you give directions

My sense of direction has always been bad. I am so pathetic that i can never retrace the path on which i had just walked upon. Countless of times I have lost my way and the faith of the people who were banking upon me. Sorry guys!!!

But the real fun comes when i give directions to those who really dont know their way. I am dedicating the next 9 advices for all those people who are "determined" to give correct directions at the cost of others.

9. Always listen to the hapless lost souls, not make up your mind and think that since they dont know anything so you can fool them easily.

8. Never ever give them complex routes as in the end they will forget what you have said.

7.Never ever look at the pretty girl while giving directions to her brother/boyfriend/dad.

6.Dont make any rude hand gestures at them.

5.Always make up your mind, whether the destination in the right/left turn.

4.When giving directions, your hand is facing towards the opposite direction you are telling them.

3. Always always give them landmarks like chachi da dabba, red light, panwadi ki dukkan, gaushala or bikanerwala.

2. Never shout the directions.

1.Try to look serious and concerned. Please dont give the "Harami" look. It never helps.

Movie - 12 Angry Men

My rating: 10/10
Genre : Drama

One of the best things i did during my hols was to watch 12 angry men. A quick of the credentials proved it to me that i am downloading one of the best movies of all times. The only thing which bothered was that its a 1957 film plus a black and white one. Living through the current times, sometimes even the best of black n whites disappoints me and
i really really was hoping that this doesn`t turn to be the in the above mentioned category. But, now watching it, all i can say is that i was wrong on the hoping part. This film not only impressed me but also me realize that if i ever make a top 10 film must to watch, its definitely going to be included in that list.

The film is a snapshot of the american judicial system.It all starts with a group of jury who have a witnessed a clear close shut trial, now have to decide the outcome of it and whether the culprit, a 18 year old teen has to go to jail for murdering his father or not. All the juror are locked in a hot room where an initial count reveals that only juror 8 has a reasonable doubt. He question is that all the evidence prsented are circumstantial and wants to discuss with the rest of the group. This changes the whole scenario, thus tempers are raised, firm opinions are given, cigarettes butts fly, temperature rises and one by one the slow pace film gains a quick pace and enthralls us till the end. Henry Fonda, incidentally also the producer gives a memorable performance. Actually not he, but the whole crew gives just the perfect performance which makes you realise that how pathetic these bollywood actors really are.

Don`t miss for anything because watching these movies is once in a lifetime opportunity.

PS : If you like this one, then you really go for Witness for the prosecution, another courtroom drama.
