".....It is there, in the final moments, for people whose farthest horizon has always been tomorrow, that one comprehends the profound tragedy circumscribing the life of the proletariat the world over. In those dying eyes there is a submissive appeal for forgiveness and also, often, a desperate plea for consolation which is lost to the void, just as their body will soon be lost in the magnitude of mystery surrounding us. How long the present order, based on an absurd idea of caste, will last is not within my means to answer, but it's time that those who govern spent less time publicizing their own virtues and more money, much more money, funding socially useful works."...

You & I !!!

Who are you?....What are you?

I pity you for you are but just a mask...a person of strong, hypocritical and hollow words...But I ask you..why don't you act...take charge??...
Weak...hesitant...a coward???
Bask in the glory of your vain and empty words, you do...Why so, I ask...Why?
Are you happy?...Are you satisfied, content with what you are, what you've become?...
I think both of us know the answers to those questions...
But always keep in mind..."You are responsible for whatever you are!!!"

A Prologue, of sorts !!!

I recall the opening lines of a superb book, where the author accentuates that the words to follow are not mere findings of a cynic. However, unlike that great mind, I am inclined to say the very opposite of that. These are the by-products of the intermittent intensity of the thought processes of an extremely cynical mind. One that has not yet shown the courage or determination to stop this incessant whining and start taking action, for a change.

Living Dead !!!

I pity you for what you are...I pity you for what you've become..such a waste..
You are solely responsible..all the more reason to pity you, you fool !!!

Wake up!...You are losing yourself...losing time...precious time. You are losing your zeal, your enthusiasm, your basic and most burning desire to live...to truly live, I mean.
The flame is being blown off...Wake up, you fool !!!

Are you still alive?...If you are, you are living a lie...just hoping to survive. An icy numbness has spread over you...You have forgotten to smile...to laugh with your heart...and not your teeth..Your eyes give you away...They've lost their old sparkle !!!
  
Break free from the shackles...How?...I don't know...But I'll be there to help..with you always !!!

Wake up, my dear friend...Rise from this untimely death !!!






 

THE END OF LIFE, AS I KNEW IT FOR FOUR YEARS !!!

Sree Chitra Thirunal College of Engineering......
The sheer impact of these mere words strung together is simply unbelievable...a simple recital of these words bring unto me a feeling unaccounted for...Maybe the fact that I spent four of THE most unbelievably fantastic years of my life to this point, at this college, is justification for the feeling I experience..but still, there has to be something else..something more...
I still remember the first day I walked into the college, my college (which it'll forever be) for my admission procedures. I remember thanking God for his showering of abundant love on me (no sarcasm intended!!!)...I had lived upto a personal dream of mine..getting into SCT....mind you...it was a dream and never a goal...as both of these can be a far cry from each other at some times!!!...
The pace with which the next four years of my life unfurled can stand tested for the notion that time flies when you have a great time...The fact is...I had more than a hell of a great time!!!...
A flash-back of sorts would comprise of the events and happenings in the lives of any person who has truly enjoyed and loved his college-days and his friends. To pen down these would take too much of my time and thoughts over the next few months...and so I do not get into the details...
A complete contrast from the excited and overjoyed feeling I had in me on the first day, would be the dull, monotonous, icy numbness I feel now, at the end of life, as I knew it for four glorious years!!!
I could never ever forget the pang of pain I felt one day, as we, SCTians, were hosting a tech and cultural event, a couple of months back. A light drizzle enveloping us, as we sang and moved to tunes of Volume, a south-Indian band, I stood arms around a tight-knit group of friends. I remember slowly sweeping my eyes over the entire campus....small but cozy...That single glance around me, told me at that moment that, HEAVEN was here....where I was right then!!!!!
At this moment, over a cup of black-coffee, solitary in my room, against a back-drop of a light shower spraying on my windows, I sit at my desk with a feeling of unmitigated sadness...an incessant pain throbbing away somewhere inside my chest...

THE DAWN OF, HOPEFULLY, A NEW PHASE !!!

Well....this is me kick-starting on my blogging habit...and about time..indeed!!!......
To say the least, the fact that I have been planning to do this for about a year, to be frank, says a lot about my fine sense of urgency in doing things...more frequently, the important things too....
I've heard somewhere that 'Procrastination is the thief of time'....and I've experienced that there are very few examples better than me in authenticating the validity of the above statement...
Thus, henceforth, on account of my installing in myself a sense of direction, motivation and a sense of urgency to do things at the right time, I would be using this blog as a canvas for my opinions and ideas about the limited store of knowledge that I possess.
Moreover, I'd really like to improve my writing skills and express my thoughts more clearly, at least to myself if not anyone else!!!....
So, this is me signing off from my first post....hope i have more in store within me...and I sincerely hope that no-one who took the painful and regretful decision to read this would be thinking of me as too stuck-up and boring a person..

Cheerios....
