So much seemed so less..
It was a cloudy morning,when i stepped out for a walk.I had been working all night long on my laptop and this was refreshing for a change.My health was not really good during the couple of past days(suffering from sinusitis which doesn't allow your olfactory senses to distinguish roses and cow dungs!!)I was really frustrated with this ailment of mine,which had no permanent cure as well.But that day,a very strange incident happened.A poor blind couple asked me to help them out find an auto.I looked at them with pitiful eyes,they were really helpless and poor.I thought I was the only person in the whole world troubled with ailment,an here what i saw was the real irony of life.I had so much more when i realized what actual misery can be.I felt like i was offered the best gifts by nature,which i had failed to realize and appreciate.This is a lesson I would remember all my life.

Spirit of RP
On a new road I started a tread
like a stranger I came, new people I met
didnt really realize I moved one year ahead!!
We all came to this place as a bunch of second years
Confusion in mind,with doubts and unknown fears
shifting to a new place, changing life's gears
it started with introduction and knowing em all
Feeling the difference of a hostel and a hall
feeling the oneness,the spirit overall
feeling a part of the honors in scroll
Cheering our teams in inter hall events
a sense of pride if we bagged a medal
Be it sports tech or socio cultural
we always tried out best,not to win,but triumph....
The days of dramatics,the wee hours of night
Bhaat maaroing at cheddis,sharing each other's insight
The B'day bashes and treats that followed
A journey so vivid,a life so colored
The frenzy of illu and rangoli
chatais and diyas ,combined beautifully
Nightout with pals,Hunger pangs@1 in night
There is always Carlosda,to provide some respite!!
Tempo shouts in a huddle,shouting as one might
come athletics GC,we are ready to run
life is awake here till the rise of morning sun
Two more years in this vibrant zone
Shaping our lives,to reach milestone
More of friendships and bondings to stay
"gentlemen by choice" is that what they say....

A mole's view of the cosmos
We are a way for the cosmos to know Itself
I had just completed my Drawing assignment of Mechanisms...and yes...this time no copy paste business!This was as original as Da Vinci's Monalisa ;) .Lights were turned off and I had to be in bed for the morning class(I hate em).I couldn't sleep for sometime ,though I pretended to do so in order that my roommate turned off lights.Suddenly something very extraordinary happened.I witnessed flashes of memories ,of all the places I had been so far.I could see my childhood days and memories of incidents which had a lasting effect on my mind.I could also see the hills, and the snowing sun.In my subtle mind,I thought it was a dream.I could wrap the 'time',and go beyond 'space'...I thought it was so wonderful,to be able to go back in time again.Suddenly,I realized it was no longer a dream and I was seeing all this while I was awake.
I had an urge to go out of the room to take a whiff of fresh air.The morning air smells obnoxiously pleasant in kgp I tell you!I was staring at the sky,Thinking about my Identity,whether I was the same person which had been in those time and places.It seemed so different!I saw the most beautiful night sky I had ever seen in my life that day.What is this universe....and its amazing things...the most amazing being this planet ....full of life which no other planet(till known) nurtures.I stood there for a long moment.I was in no state to answer what I saw or felt....it was just amazing.I stood there,wondering about the infinity of stars,some having systems of planets.....of which very few having life....and of the fewest of all,some may have another rational person like me....staring in some other direction of this vagueness,wondering about the mysteries unknown to all.....
It was more than what my small cerebrum could handle...I cought a small nap (still bewildered and confused).Oops ...it was 7 already,time to grab a toast and rush to the main complex!!
