What I always wanted


Always wanted to be the guy
holding the guitar
Always wanted that long drive
in a luxuruious car


Always wanted the gals to feel like
I was their dream guy
Always wanted to let the guys know
I was a friend worth the try


Always wanted to be the best
at what I did
Always wanted to keep pushing
at that closed lid


Always wanted to know about
a thousand little things
Always wanted to be the jack of all trades who 
could outshine the so-called kings


But between what I always wanted
and what I was going to be
came the the deep and turbulent ocean
which we call reality


Now what I am 
is the guy holding the pen
Now I want to shed light on things
shoved into the dark and endless den


Now I don't want to be any girl's dream guy
for I'm sure the one who is yet to be
would wake up from her dreams
and on a day not so far,meet me.


Now,I still want to be a master
of my limited arts
Still want to aim for the bull's eye
never falling short of darts


So what, if the tides of time
create a bit of varience
if you always knew what you wanted to be
you will shine someday
with unparalleled radiance

Why the Eagle has not wept the second time so far

These are excerpts from a conversation (some might call it a debate, but I think that would be a tad to rash) I had with a fellow Indian as to the reasons why the United States has not had anything to do with terrorist attacks since 9/11 while our country still suffers from these despicable acts from madmen who think they are fulfilling the God's wishes. She, as I am sure may of you out there, believes that it is solely due to the faulty system in India unlike the US, who's intelligence and spirit have been commendable in avoiding a recurrence of the sad tragedy that took place 10 years ago. I agree to a certain extent, but would like to present a few points,which, practical as they are, are still overlooked by many. I would wish my readers to give them a bit of time and thought .  Although I certainly praise the American spirit and laud its intelligence... at the same time I don't want to make any excuses for the fallacies in their Indian counterparts, I do thin

In Love with my Life!

Its official now, travelling in Goa just puts some wonderful things into my head. So here I am, sharing one more of mt experiences with you all. I dropped an year after school to prepare for Engineering entrance exams. Now, during that period, there was an intense pressure on me, not created by anybody else, but my own mind. The only thing on my mind was getting into a good engineering college. Those days, my friends who had already got into college after school, used to visit me during their holidays.  One of them was Sambhav Karnawat who had gotten into IIT-Kanpur, one of the premiere institutes of engineering not only in India, but the world as well. As aspirants, me and those preparing with me used to dream about getting there or any one of the seven IITs which existed at that time. I remember getting t stressed by all the work it took, and I also remember asking Smabhav once , “Hey yaar…. Is it all worth IT?” And he answered, “It sure is.” That and things similar to it used to mo
