The right side and the other side!

Sometimes the best way to move into the unknown is to take familiar steps, small steps....
But no matter how much you pretend that the way and the steps are familiar you know its the unknown,the unfamiliar, the unexplored that you're moving into and that freaks you out from within...
Most people lead lives that follow a pattern like getting out of school,then college and then finding yourself a job and landing up somewhere..being someone...And then there's your personal life in between to juggle..But why is there always a pattern..?
I mean I've seen people going back to study a completely different course after completing school and college and doing an internship like this US based uncle who completed med school to get into an architecture course..But most people regard these as stupid decisions they think these people are guided by emotion and not their better judgement...
Anything which is not in a pattern or which does not fit into our pattern is considered nonsensical..!

Maybe because we humans(Or the homo sapiens sapiens the most advanced of all the Hominid species) feel safe in a pattern... We need a pattern to lead our lives and to follow,we need a time table,we need to get out of college,get  a job and get old and die sulking thinking about how we could have done something else and been somewhere else but where we are is just the dirty hospital bed thinking of the things undone...
I know we'll all get there but I'd rather be there satisfied with being a loser at all the things I've tried rather than sulking at all that's left undone...


Risks (specially career related!) are mostly avoided by people because there'll be everyone snorting at you initially , if you succeed they'll be applauding you and if you don't you'll be spat on..
Recently someone i know told me how its "impossible" to be successful in the two opposite things that I'm doing together and that I'll never be able to do it because no one she knows has ever been able to do it..heartbroken i just managed to say "maybe I can't but atleast i'm trying.."..

 I am a tough nut to crack in terms of quitting, i mean its really rare that I've found myself quitting in a certain situation, i always strive to see the end even if i am in the losing end...
Sometimes i feel like quitting all this and choosing an easy way...for now atleast(but i know I'll never be able to do it, because i've never liked things which were easy..)!
I remember when i had just joined school and my KG teacher asked us "which was the right hand,the one with which we write?"
i picked up the other hand,
"No no!which is the better hand,the hand you clean your teeth with?"
I picked up the other hand again..
"I write and brush with with my other hand ma'am" I said...
And though many years have passed since I wrote with my left hands(i was made to write with my right hand by my teacher after that because according to her writing with the left hand is not right!!!) given a choice I'd prefer the other side...!

Monday blues..!

Today while coming out of my Biology tuition I slipped but then I somehow regained my balance.!! Yes I slipped again..!!A year back on my 16th birthday I slipped and fractured my ankle!!Actually it's my fault only there are two staircases in my biology tuition both leading to the exit, one is the normal kinda stairs which we generally have and the other one is a spiral staircase which opens outwards (yes you can even see the sky from it's broken corners!) but it doesnot even have a railing in some places and it's extremely narrow(exactly the size of my foot!!yes I did measure it!!) and steep!! So as you may have guessed by now I regularly use the spiral staircase!!Girls in my tuition can't even think of using that staircase and I don't know why even guys don't use it!!(maybe they are scared!!).. I really don't understand why I love those 'danger stairs' (yes my friends call it that) so much but I actually do..I remember once when I was about four or

Just As long as we are together

This is a poem i had written when i was in the 6th standard and our group nearly broke.....I admit This poem has lots of flaws and abstractions but for me this poem really means a lot..... I remember the time we were standing with our faces to the sun.. Picturing our times to come Many a clouds have passed by since we stood under the same sky Talking in the summer sights.. Howling at the city lights I still remember the time that passed.. Pulling pranks just for fun Summer vacations were such a blast the kind of memories that will always last.. Growing up in future seemed such a thing We thought we knew what it would bring.. The stars seemed so clear from our domain.. I sure could handle some of those good times again.. Even if our dreams still seem far away.. Our friendship is always here to stay.. Until we are all gone.. The roads between us will never be too long...... I have been putting this off for quite sometime now, thinking I’d write this post “later” but I figured there is no

Aaj fir ek cigarette...

Here's a poem written by my friend who is trying to quit smoking and below it is my reply poem to him ... Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hun,, uski nazar me ye ek gunaah hai, mai to uske waade bhula raha hu,, Aj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.. samajhna mat isko meri aadat,main to bus dhuaan ura raha hu, ye uski yaado ka silsila hai, mai uski yaaden jala raha hu.. mai peekar itna behek chuka hu ki gham ke kisse suna raha hu.. agar tumhein bhi ghm hai to aao,main pee raha hu aur pila raha hu... ek cigarette ki shama k bahane main apne aap ko jala raha hu.. Aaj fir ek cigarette jala raha hu.....                                                                                     ~ Akash  Gam ko aasuyo se na piya toh kya piya.. gam ko zindagi mei na badal diya toh kya jiya..  Gam ko dhuye mei urane ki addat nahi humko, hum toh isi dard k nashe,ki addat mei jiye huye hai..!
