To The Land Called Far Away ...


And the journey started with a song,
a great ballad from yesterday.
The pilgrims plight,
is and endless flight,
to the land called Far-away.

On the journey he saw shades of night,
and he passed through skies of gray.
But, he stayed forthright,
as he searched for light,
and the land called Far-away.

On the journey he made countless friends,
and avoided countless enemies.
And he prayed each night,
that he'd earn the right,
to the land called Far-away.

Though, he longed for glory,
his body grew old and fray.
A soul long lost,
is the dreamers cost,
in the land called Far-away.

He lay down in a green meadow,
for he knew his time was nigh.
He relived each scene,
of his minds sweet dreams,
to the land of Far-away.

And though each breath was labored,
each heartbeat found the truth.
And he saw that life,
was both joy and strife,
in the land called Far-away.

And as the darkness took him,
his hopes were bright and gay.
For he'd be one,
with the setting sun,
and the land called Far-away.

Those Few Cherished Moments ...

There are few things in life that are worth reliving for. There are few things in life which brings back a little smile in the cheek when thought of. There are few things, unintentional or/and unnoticed, that gives you a sense of pride. These are few things that are cherished forever. This might end up boring, but trust me this might make you think at least a couple of small, hard to remember moments etched in one's history.

  1. Getting all the timely affection and support that you really need and in the process finding out what love actually is
  2. Getting to slog like dog over a mathematical problem and finding out that a solution for it never exists
  3. Those moments of pulling each other's leg and in the process laughing so much, that u end up hurting your face
  4. Walking with your best friend under the same umbrella on a rainy evening
  5. Those cold coffees at the middle of the night after slogging unrelentedly the entire day and also knowing fully well that the following day is no better
  6. A one little glance by an unknown person of the other gender amidst a crowded place
  7. Sending messages after messages to one person, to just say that you are bored to death and in the process bug the soul on the other side and piss him off
  8. Taking a long drive along the coast road on a slight drizzle and the morning dew
  9. Getting to listen to your favorite number on the radio when the power is gone
  10. Just lying down on the bed (feeling cozy) and happily listening to the heavy rains outside, thereby reassuring yourself that the college would be off for the day
  11. A cool breeze on a beltering summer day
  12. Small giggles about the profs with a set of friends who don't bother to listen in class
  13. A really good conversation with a friend whom you have completely lost touch with for a long time
  14. Getting a chance to ride all the way to the beach when its raining cats and dogs
  15. Running behind a plastic ball in the beach
  16. Somehow finding a 100 rupees buried under one of the notebook's cover page and that too when you need it most
  17. Spending hours on the phone (in the middle of the night) with people you hardly have an acquaintance with
  18. Doing a blunder and having a laugh over it at a later point of time
  19. Getting a big hug from the dad after a long journey that made you home sick the very first day
  20. Accidentally overhearing someone saying something nice about you
  21. Waking up suddenly in the middle of the night and realizing that there's still many hours left for you to end up sleeping big time
  22. A little touch or a few words that instills hope into one's belief
  23. Absolutely end up with a completely different set of people and end up making new friends at the end of the day
  24. Having the most desired and pleasent dream that you'd wish for
  25. Spending time without uttering a single word with a really good person who knows you in and out. The struggle to spend time without having anything much to share
  26. Just hearing the voice of the person whom you love the most
  27. Those huge fights with people whom you love the most and best is the feeling of unprofunded joy when u make it up with them
  28. Riding a bike downhill fully knowing that the uphill is on the other side
  29. Honking nonstop in a traffic jam, just to irritate the guy in the front and piss him big time
  30. Winning the game for the first time which you'd always play to loose earlier
  31. While reading for the exams the next day, falling asleep even before your head hits the pillow
  32. The feeling of "Knowing you made a difference, no matter how big or how small ,just as long as it is for the better"
  33. Cuddling with a new born baby and admiring its beauty relentlessly
  34. Knowing fully well that you have helped someone whose undergoing a really difficult time
  35. Waking up early morning all of a sudden to hurry to the class and realizing that its a sunday
  36. Getting a huge hug from an affable friend for no reason at all
  37. Figuring out the most important ones and sharing your true feelings with the people that care most about you
  38. Falling asleep with the person you love in your arms
  39. Sitting outside by yourself in the middle of the night looking up at the stars
  40. Realizing that you really are important in the lives of others and knowing that you have a friend that will be a friend for life
  41. Anticipating seeing old friends somewhere and somehow
  42. Having people come up to you to say, "It looks like you have lost weight"
  43. The smell of rain just before a storm and also the panicky situation after that
  44. Hogging all the way to glory and finding out that you really don't have the money you desired to have
  45. Friends who make you laugh when your world has just been turned upside down and it feels like you won't see the sun again for a while
  46. Coming home from school knowing that you can lay on the couch and not worry about a thing

And most importantly, making a note of the best cherished moments in one's life and sharing with others and making them go ooh ...

Never Say Die ... Ever Again !!!

There are always few things in life that can be questioned N number of times; and still one wouldn’t find an answer. Only a few would dare to know the potential of a life that is committed to win. The courage of encountering challenges, that seeks to accept only one thing. One thing that everyone strives for; Success

Exploring the dimensions of greatness and believing that the world can be won will soon be the glory path in this dog-eat-dog world. And for the years to come being skeptical will not be an option and doubts that weaken one’s commitment and resolution would not be worth arguing for.

Foreseeing one’s potential is a vision of the gifted ones; for those otherwise, faith and belief will be the guide to glory. So possess the strength and courage; (Courage to act with conviction, to become what God meant us to be) to conquer whatever you choose. For its going to be the person who never gets started, that is destined forever to lose. Never say die, Ever Again.

Up Above The World So High ...

A Few of my Authentic Snapshots ... How do you rate me as a photographer ?





























Looking Back Now ... Who Cares ???!!!

Well these were a barrage of poems that were written one after another, day in and day out ... Not that i was sad and all, it was just that, the situation was yet another reason to kindle the creative side of my brain ... Well some of them are originals, few are improvized ones of the ones existing in the web ... Well onething, don't even try to think anything wierd !!!
a
“We went thru moments that were good and bad,
even moments that were happy and sad.
You suported me when i was in tears,
we stuck together when we were in fear,
Heard miles away can’t keep us apart,
'cause you'll always be in my heart.
Its really sad that it had to be this way,
but it has reached its very last day.
You're my friend and that is true,
but the gift was given from me to you.”
a
Another One ...
a
"Since he's been here
I can't talk to you...
It's like he's with you
For everything you do...
I tried to be nice
And I tried to be fair...
I wanted to talk
But you weren't there...
And since he's been in your life
It's like I'm not even there...
Your boyfriend or you best friend
I THOUGHT I would win,
You know what FORGET IT
I don't care anymore...


This one's my favourite ...

“I'll never forget the times that we had.
The heartfelt discussions.The good and the bad.
I remember the day you reached out your hand;
and whispered in my ear, "This is only the start.
A friendship like ours,
no matter who goes away can only get better.”
For, you are my best friend.
And I am yours, too.
We're stuck to each other.Just me and just you.
Being with you has been a part of the past.
For these words that I speak may be our last.”

The Luv Of My Life ...

The last one year has been a really nice eventful year with me being held up big time in various activities. Never had I ever realized that time could fly really faster than u actually think and want. Never had I been so busy in my life - to an extent of getting several abuses from my old friends :).

It had been a really great roller coaster ride - Emotionally and Physically!!! Hard days were very easy to come by and it was not that easy to get rid of them. That's when I realized, though every now and then we get to meet new people only a few stay while others move along.

It would not be an exaggeration if I were to say that the last year was the best days of my life in spite of all the lull incidents and again it wouldn't be just if I don't mention “It was all because of only one person". This one's dedicated to her and ONLY her.

“Hard as stone,
With hidden fears;
She loves in silence,
No one hears.

Eyes of ice,
Never to melt.
Locked feelings,
Never felt.

Spirit of steel,
Never broken.
Frozen emotions,
Left unspoken.

Heart of gold,
Beautiful soul, As sweet as it can be,
She means so much to me.”

She was pretty much there in all the happiest and also the saddest moments when u look back at them. It has always been the case of “Been there, Done that” Attitude. I will not forget the visits all through Chennai and especially Globus. And yeah seriously I don’t have words as to say how much she means to me.

Memories on the Railway Tracks

I still remember the first day I waited at the deserted platform, in anticipation of the local daily at 12.50 under the sweltering heat. It used to be now or never situations – U miss it, U get screwed up at the college, cause u end up without having attendance for half day if u don’t come on time for the first hour. Man, College was demanding, the agony of traveling in a crowded train, even more.


Local Suburb In Chennai

The first day of my college saw me being accompanied by my dad’s office boy, who was pretty much familiar with the stations and the routes. I soon realized that there’s nothing to fuss about since there were only 2 stations in between Saidapet and Nungambakkam. What started of as the only feasible and economical mode of transportation, soon became a place where new friendships started to develop amidst the crowd and the heat.

A little Exaggerated Pic !!! The Horiffic Days Of Broad Guage Conversion

Then came in the days when there was the Broad-Gauge conversion in progress. Those days were like HELL. It looked so much uncomfortable and so damn uneasy. There was a day when we went all the way to the Beach (Last Station) on the opposite direction and took the same train so that we could be seated for a while.

There were many incidents that range from fighting with the counter person for the timely issue of the railway pass to a close call when hanging by the footboard. Well you must be wondering, so what’s the big deal traveling in a train? Well It was during the college days. Be it early morning for the gym or late night after the movie, I was always assured that there was a mode of transportation I can bank upon. I have seen a radical transformation over the last 3 years – And yeah I Love Trains in all the tenses and that’s the reason am scribbling something here. It sure was Memories on the Railway Tracks
