Blind Love




She sat staring at the sea

And he sat staring at her

But while his heart marched with glee

For her, neither was he a lover

Nor was he a bother


He tried hard to gain attention

But she chose to ignore

He begged, cried and yelled with passion

For her, neither was he interesting

Nor was he a bore


He lost his temper, he rose

He thanked the girl for being so unkind

Tears filled his eyes, tears filled his nose

Had he waited a little longer, he would have known

The girl was deaf, dumb and blind

Dark Room




I was alone, resting in my dark room

The darkness engulfed me

I was scared, scared of the unknown

The unknown which I couldn't see



The door was locked, locked from the outside

How could I escape?

My past haunted me, hurt my inside

At the hazy future, I gape



The room had terrible creatures, dark & hideous

Lust, Anger, Guilt & Pride

The warmth of innocence was fading

I wanted to run, I wanted to hide



Ah! Finally the door is open

But why isn't there any light?

Has the world changed so much

Or is this a temporary phase of night?

The Indian Education System



                My blood boils, when I read of suicides
                                                    Innocent youngsters ending their lives
                                                    Coz corrupt politicians and their king-size prides
                                                    Don't care about anyone but their wives

                                                    Be it the CPT or the IIT-JEE or just the boards
                                                    The seats are limited, and the aspirants so many
                                                    Depression is bound to come in this rat-race
                                                    Where learning is lost, for the sake of earning money

                                                     Hey kid, wanna go to India's most prestigious college?
                                                     Are you filthy rich? No! so you must be super smart?
                                                     No! Oh so you are applying under the reservations?
                                                     No! So what the heck are you doing here, you fart!

JEE kya?

Hello Guys and Girls,
             If you are reading this blog hoping that you would get a good advice of achieving a top rank in IIT-JEE, believe me, you are reading the wrong blog! I am an average person with a terrible rank (6204). But maybe I can tell you some of my mistakes, which really managed to screw up my performance. Lets start with my initial period of Jee preparation. I was dead serious about getting a good rank, but unfortunately there were 4 lakh others to give me company. I had scored 100 in Mathematics in my 10th boards, but unfortunately there were 1000 others who had done the same. So I knew I was playing a risky game.
                 Believe me, I wasn't dumb. Just two months down the lane, I used to solve the doubts of my felllow classmates and teach them the parts they failed to understand. I did not study myself but I took immense pleasure in helping others study. This is how I made the first mistake of my Jee preparation. I am not a person who likes to praise himself but still let me tell you an incident which happended after a year of studying for Jee. We had a Math class and our prof had given us an interesting sum to solve. The sum carried a prize amount of 500 bucks and guess what? I won it! I won it in a class where people like Kandarp (A.I.R - 13) were present! At that moment I realized that I had the potential to crack the Jee code with a decent rank. Actually everyone who got a rank as pathetic as mine had the potential. Who do we blame? The system? For keeping so much reservations that the General category is left with just 50% of the total seats? Or our professors? for not extracting the best in us? No dears, we blame ourselves for not just putting in enough! I have seen the amount of efforts Kandarp put in. It was really impressive! That guy survived the two years without television and facebook! Doesnt he deserve his rank? And moreover, do I deserve that? Here are the mistakes I made which really screwed my prospects of going into one of the prestigious IIT's
  1. Not studying when I had loads of time
  2. Spending loads of time on making useless timetables (how ironic!)
  3. Spending hours facebooking and playing Mafia Wars
  4. Spending hours watching the idiot box
  5. Not taking the mock tests seriously
  6. Keeping a lot of pending work
  7. Many more....
IIT-JEE is tough but definitely reachable for every aspirant who is hard-working, dedicated, commited and a bit intelligent!!:)
