All Alone

All Alone

Traipsing on the path of
Life’s tedious journey
In a silent mourn……………..
Surrounded by people,
Jostled and pushed,
Sometimes even thrown…
Yet, in this sad melee
And maddening crowd,
My mind is all alone……………..
Stabbed and seared
A thousand times,
With pains that need to be borne
Obliviously yet, it
Trudges forward,
Resigned, weary and all alone…………..
Bursting at the seams
With feelings to be expressed
Love and hatred to be shown
But no one to share them with,
No vent to make them known……….
Sometimes, the frustration
Does take its toll,
And painful tears have flowed
At times, madness seems to seize,
But that too is outgrown………
My mind continues
Down this desolate path,
Though it’s tired and worn………..
Perhaps it will find
The happiness it seeks,
Waiting somewhere, unknown…………..

Out of Sight, Out of Mind?

Does the exit of Dr A P J Kalam from the prime scene mean that our public has forgotten his ideals and his mission 2020? Somehow, i get this feeling that 'out of sight, out of mind' is what rules in india. I hope i am wrong!

Look at what we are bickering over......a Tamang or Toshi issue can sure light up some sparks in the public, big enough to bawl on the streets and grab a whole lot of media attention. C'mon guys, let the deserving win and if by chance, you feel that your 'deserving' didnt win, then, just leave it. Let the winner be happy. After all, a good singer will continue to sing well, wont he/she? While we waste a whole lot of time, energy and money over these trivial matters, a lot is slipping by unnoticed. Have we forgotten that there is a mission to achieve...a milestone to cross...a summit to conquer? We ve got to carry India to the top...and fast. Let's not lose focus and let's continue to work towards achieving Dr. Kalam's mission.
