Just Like That

When is it that you yourself feel that you are successful

Is it when as a baby you learn to crawl or

When you learn to stand straight or

When you utter that first word

Is it when you get an admission to a good school

Or when you meet and make your first friend

Is it when you secure good marks in school

Or when teachers pat your back

Is it when you get to good college

Or when you become an unmissable hero in the college

Or just be the one the crowd who is never noticed

Is it when you decide your own on after-college life

Or when you get into a career decided by your parents

Is it when you get a job with better paychecks

Or when you get someone whom you can spend life with

Is it when you have a group of freinds who,

,As they ‘will cry when you die’

Is it when you get along your life as parents

Or when you decide to when to become one and stand by it

Is it when you get paid decently for the job you hate

Or when you are paid peanuts for the job that you would die for

Is it when others exclaimed how successful you are

Or is it when you become the subject to be envied

When all these are just questions

Answers will be many

And certainly no right and wrong in them

However, important is to feel that you’re successful

The options are many and choices are hard

The mind is mingling in these thoughts

Turning back, everything seems so foggy

Need to see through and get that feeling back

Life is cut across various stages

You are successful at one and may not be at other

But the life is a journey as they say

Hope is the light that will light up our mind

Get that hope and take step forward

Just Forget It....

I was a person of substance

Well that’s what I used to think

I was a person of dreams

Well that’s what I aimed for

I was a person with ideas

Well hat what my idea of myself was

Now, I am left with a void

Searching a substance in my life

Everyday dawns with a positive thought

Proceeds t a negative one by night

Every word I say, I am not sure of

Every act I do, I am not clear about

Every person I met, I estrange in a moment

Every friend I make, I lose in flash

Everything that happens, I have no control over

I've loosen all the strings

The life is running and I am drudging behind

I am soaked in the thoughts

I need to break myself open

I need to choose rather than follow

The life’s rule are not fair or may be

Or maybe just forget it….

China: better than India?

Many of us be it lay people, businessmen, economists and policymakers always try to draw parallels between India and China and try to project which will be economic Power by 2025 or 2050. However the article that I read about China was an eyeopener. It has reinforced the advantages of having Democracy in India. Though there are some benefits in the political situation that China has, the social impacts (like the one mentioned in this article) are far grave than Economic and Monetary benefits especially from Common Man's perspective.

Democracy(?)

For last few months- Our Army Chief speaks more to "aam adami" than our Prime Minister(?)!

India, Pakistan, US and Terrorism

The question is not about 'SHOULD INDIA CONDUCT OPERATION SIMILAR TO US' but the real question is CAN INDIA CONDUCT OPERATION SIMILAR TO US?

When was the last time you really had someone whom you could really trust?

Stability

We use the word stability in various situations. And I am refering to stability in "professional life" and "personal life". But what comes fisrt? whether Stable professional life leads to or should lead to a stable personal life or vice versa? I am really confused.
