The day i was born
changed the life of many.
For some were happy
and some unhappy.
To my mom I was a blessing
though in disguise.
To my dad, I was
a shattered dream.
It was she who
saw her dreams in me.
It was he, scared of the worst nightmares
turning true through me.
The upbringing that you gave
cannot be matched with any.
The experience that you gave
cannot be taught by any.
It is your dream that
has evoked me.
It is your unexpectation that
has provoked me.
Want to change myself
to see you happy.
Want to change myself
to see you angry.
You gave me love and life.
You gave me pain
that taught me life.
I am what I am
just by the grace of you.
I am what I am just by the curse of you.

Lets Reunite
Wherever I am, you are always there with me in my mind. I cannot express my feeling to anyone. But your memories keep me busy all the while. Being with you is I always wish. But there are circumstances that throw us apart. I don’t know what is in you that keep me craving more for you. You are so calm & composed while I am so impatient. We are so different yet alike. Living without you is just living without life. Come back to me and give me my life which I deserve. Life without you is like living in pandemonium where I am burning for my sins.
I know you too are helplessly in pain. And it is each others memories that are keeping us alive & motivated to fight all circumstances and reunite. Here I am waiting for you. Expectation kills me every moment. But the very next moment your thought revives & motivates me. “Patience is Virtue” is what I had once read but the virtue itself has given up all hopes. But I am still burning the candle of hope within me.
Missing you deeply,
Come back soon.

A War Within Me...
My mind and heart are in constant struggle with each other. Arguments to discussion, debates to rebuttals have become a daily routine past many days. My mind says not to trust heart blindly and heart says not to follow the path guided by selfish mind. This revolt has created a confused being in me. This strange confusion is driving me mad and drilling me inside. It seems I am divided into two parts.
The war for kingship of mind and heart has left me destroyed. It seems my present state of being has become a battlefield. Can’t feel proud and cheer for any one of them because ultimately they both are a part of me. Both has their own share of pros and cons. Each one of them wants to lead me in their chosen path. Mind warns me from trusting anyone and teaches the virtue of being practical. Though they are in constant war with each other, I simply know the mere fact that if any one of them is hurt, the other is shattered. If the heart loses the game, then mind is revolting against the circumstances and alerts heart from further danger and to learn from previous experiences.
When mind receives a set-back then its heart that always supports the mind and asks to look at other probabilities and aspects of what we think. Observation plays n important role in both cases. I lay confused in my isolated state. The endless confusion and restlessness is tormenting me day and night. I want to concentrate, my mind wants to explore. I seem like a bird in a small cage with limited to no space to fly free. I want to break through this constant struggle and explore new worlds.

My internship phase-----
DLF Plaza Tower, 6th floor. Gurgaon. So this is where I have landed after a lot of WAR. Literally it was a kind of war for getting a good internship at a reputed ad agency. One thing that I have noticed in the media industry is that until and unless you know someone from the organization it becomes really difficult for an easy entry. It was indeed a long run.
Well since I have landed here let me tell you more about my experience here. Let me KISS (keep it short and simple!!) ;) Nice people. Very experienced. Its been 3 weeks now and I am proud to be associated with the agency. Actually my industry guides have been really very good to me. To name a few Anirban, Smriti, Rohan, Mallik Ji and the list goes on and on. Oh!! I haven't yet told you that which account I am working on. Its LG Electronics. It is a whooping RS. 350 crore client. Like money Like work. Whatever I had learnt in college basically theory is very much different from practical ad world. But theory is also very important to understand the terminology. My daily schedule is usually very busy. 6 days working in office and sunday being the field work day. Lots of researches and surveys have to be done. But at the end of the day I am very satisfied with my life. Well PPTs haven't really had any mercy on me here also.
When in the office, I have to spend maximum time in the studio getting the designing and art work done. Managing with the very famous odd timings of ad agency was initially difficult for me but after few days I have got habituated to it. Actually I am staying at a rented house in Gurgaon for a month till my summer internship gets over. And let me tell you its absolutely great fun. I will surely miss these days when I go back to college. Mostly the cheese toast and the famous nimbu-pani which is served in my office. For sure I'll be taking with me lots of practical knowledge and good memories. I hope I can come back here for my final internship.
Welcome!!!
It has been really long since I last posted. Almost a year now and my life hasn't been the same as it used to be. Its much more complicated. I know it’s we human that make their life complicated. It’s the way that you mould yourself life takes you further on your chosen path. When I last posted a blog I had just completed my graduation. But, I had further plans of pursuing higher studies and for that I wanted to move out of my hometown. It is not that there is no scope for higher studies in my city but it’s just that I wanted to come out of my very own protective shell. I had always heard the world is full of wild animals and this is why we are safer in our home under the shield of parents. Well in that case I have been really very much pampered in my home. I have been given the right amount of freedom and independence. Though it did come with a lot of trust that I had build and thus when I told my parents that I want to move out to another city they were not skeptic about it. And now I am studying M.A in Advertising and Marketing from Noida. Moving out to a new city did broaden my horizon. New people new trends and new cultures. Education continues……

Pleasure and Pain are the music of life.
In the vast arena of life, man has to wrestle with circumstances day in and day out. It is but natural that success or failure will be the result. Success makes a man ride high and failure flings him into the mood of sorrow and pessimism. it is a universal truth that if the sun is shining bright on one hemisphere, the other hemisphere is covered under the blanket of darkness. Life is worth living because sugar of smiles and salt of sighs serve the tonics.
If we look around us, we shall realize that life is not a smooth sailing for anyone. When a child is born, his mother grooms him well. She makes sure that her child is not harmed or hurt. She ensures that nothing results to tears in the eyes of her child. But as the child grows he has to face both success and failure. Success and failure are two sides of the same coin. Pleasure alone always makes an individual proud. Happiness and suffering maintain a healthy balance in life.
Every person toils and moils during the day to enjoy a well-earned sound sleep at night. If he rests the whole day and feels happy in remaining lethargic, he will soon find his limbs aching. Smiles and pleasures are always welcome but sufferings too are never meaningless. When a person is caught in the grip of pain and misery, the outflow of tears that rolls down often softens the tense and depressed atmosphere making the person calm and composed. ‘Where there is a will there is a way’ and thus, we must never lose hope even in the worst of times, instead find a solution.
Some people always complain that life is a valve of tears or a bed of thorns. They forget the joys of the past. They cannot see far ahead where again the smiles await them. Every tunnel of sufferings, sorrows and calamities leads to the sunshine of joys, pleasures and comforts. In fact tears serve as the saline water to wash away the dust settled on one’s mind.
In fact, tragedy and comedy make the wrap and wool of life. Smiles and sighs are spices of life, which would otherwise become tasteless. Man is always reminded to take pleasure and pain calmly in his stride. He is taught not to grow vain glorious when delights visit him and not to lose heart and look crest-fallen when difficulties surround him. Even the great prophets, sages and seers themselves tasted both the sweetness and bitterness of life. Human beings who walk on their footprints are also expected to know that smiles and tears constitute the music of life.
