Coorg-Day 1: discovering myself



“Ever lived 3 different lives in one day??”

A long walk around the forest coupled with mesmerizing water movement sound in nisargadhama got me more in love with the nature. 





The silent and peaceful “tibetian temple” made me realize few things. 

I never knew Buddha was a son of a king and queen. This is where I derived that, “no matter where you come from or how you are bought up, all that matters in the end is the impact you made in the world”.
 The little kid who jumped around beaming smiles at everyone around but remained in standing position only when someone pulled out a camera to capture him epitomized “there is a little part of everyone that never grows”. 

The beauty of this place was that amidst all the fun, teasing and jumping around, each person remained silent at different times and really felt from the bottom of their hearts that peace is indeed beautiful.





The journey took a real kick start in the river rafting. Being someone who is careful all the time and takes precautions for every step, I dint even want to get into the river even though I knew swimming (growing really does make you over think!!). But there was something (I call it the magic of water) had a different role to play. I got into water for 3 reasons

 Firstly, because all my friends got into water (friends realllllly do influence your decisions)

Secondly, because they provided each one with a life jacket which would keep anyone floating at any instant in water. 

Thirdly, because I knew there were people around whom I could count on and would hold me tight the minute something didn’t go right. This is the major reason why I got into water!!

 River rafting showed me how different person I can be if I choose to be. With 7 people surrounding me, I sat right in between and dint take the paddling job as fear had taken over me initially. The movement of the raft and the childhood memories of playing in water got me so excited that I led up to do the paddling to outdo the other rafting team(ah! Never knew competing in waters could be so much fun). The unsynchronized yet fun paddling, bending completely backwards in order to avoid tree branches, multiple 360 degree movement of the raft was completely enthrilling. No longer had we reached the shore, the trainer pushed one of my friends into the water and as a support my friend held me and I fell down too and each person was in the water in less than a minute. I swam like never before. I got so much confidence that I pulled out other friends too and ensured they have fun and are safe too. What I liked was how my friends ensured not only their close friends were safe, but the whole class of ISE was safe (they say, people who grow yet still young in actions are the best. But what I feel is that people who are like kids all the time with a tint of concern and matured behavior when required are the best). River rafting was something I liked the most in the entire trip

The excitement and heartfelt laughter filled the air. There are a million pleasurable things to describe the river rafting in nisargadhama, but to sum it all, “each person became a kid once again” and this is the part I liked the most.

“Ever lived 3 different lives in one day??”- Live it! It’s incredible.

I am a topper and so are you!!


 












“Damn! I missed 1 mark to score a century” and”Yeah! I passed” are perhaps the two most frequently used sentences by the youngsters and this fundamentally defines a student today. On One end, there is immense  amount of hard work and dedication put in to achieve the desired target and contradictory on the other end, there is a life filled with fun, joy ,parties and of course the well known LAST MINUTE STUDY.












Now why are scores so important? Is it because we live in a country where people are judged based on their scores only because it would fetch them a good job in an MNC and they would eventually have a better life? Or is it because scores determine ones level of dedication? Or is it because we are carrying out an age-old legacy of having pride for scoring better? If all these were an answer, then what about them who fail or just manage to pass in the borderline? Does this mean that they are not dedicated enough? Doesn't want a happy life? Care less about themselves?!!!! These are thought provoking questions for which we don’t care to find an answer and continue to judge people based on their scores..












Groupism  is a word which has not made its way into the dictionary yet ,but each one of us begin our college life with groupism and then again, grouping is based on scores principally.

I believe that each student has a dream and the person who scores less might have a dream completely irrelevant to the subject or may be there know the practical application rather than the useless method of mugging up the theories. My conclusion is that we should start a revolution where a person is never judged on the basis of marks.

India will grow when students of different levels and variations of thinking sit on the table and discuss the changes they can make in the world rather than discuss about pointless marks.

At the Mercy of eleventh Hour

Tempted to be the apple of one's eye,
reach heights new and high.
Everyone urging to be the knight,
to fly like kite,embraced b golden light.

At the eleventh hour,perplexed was I,
shadowed in the dreadful eye.
Locked up in a fool's paradise,
thinking results to be the game of dice.

Did burn the midnight oil,
yet the outcomes lapsed into soil,
in leaps and bounds,
leaving behind in brutal wounds.

Friends had their own axe to grind,
left deserted was I,no roads to find,
mind totally null and void,
nobody,nothing to aid.

At the dead of night,
nightmare scare,no reason to fight,
apple of discord and bone of contention.
It was a reality of disillusion.

I do bear a grudge-
against the merciless fudge,
break the ice,boil imagination down.
Too late to achieve on own!

Since Time In Memorial.. Mathematics of Life!!!

DEGREES OF SUCCESS

I am the mother of a language
anything i see i try to gauge,
I am the father of most logic
reason behind most magic.


I am the queen of science
and king of vase field,
Quantity,structure,space
and changes are my yield.


I am child looking in all angles
for many lives i am an angel,
I walked past geometry
and met trigonometry.


I am the sun of an old land
and stretch over infinite band,
Flourish over my applications
forget all complications.


I am the time tracker
and your worth protector,
i grow with every clocks tick
and every great man's pick.


Differentiation is a fear
integration gets you near,
when its noon in the moon
what time is it here?


I guide you to know
what is the chance it will snow,
If you count for a year,would you get to infinity,
or somewhere in that vicinity.


nourish my essence
with all your sense,
I embrace all tricks
I am MATHEMATICS




Friends for all sake

As strangers we met
Excitement, fear filled the air
Hesitant to initiate conversation
Days passed by!
Expressions of hi bye
turned hundred books of words
Formalities decreased
A whole big group
of best loving cool friends

Now all those memories
remain ever-lasting
Those classes of fun!
Passing chits
Mocking at teachers
Last bench celebrities,
attraction for teachers
Laugh, giggle, sing
did everything with them!


Many hands in one chocolate
Fights for a post of dignity
but wants no responsibility
Never ending impositions of
“I will not talk in class”
Called the out-standing student
for not submitting assignments
Mass bunking classes for sports
Fun!that was all we learnt

Little small joys
Blaming others for your fault
Slight fights of fury
getting back in less them a minute
friends for all sake!
Get back into memories
Smile innocently
The only word comes out now
I miss them all! I truly do

Dream Planet

There was once a earth
Where love and harmony
took its primacy with the nature
Trees, animals, birds, insects
human! One in them
Water, mud, air
regarded as divinity.

Clear blue oceans reflecting the lucid sky
Trees with plumes of fruits
scattering out its branches wide
Dubbed to be birds abode
singing the most beautiful songs!
Blustery weather kissed the trees
danced with rejoice!

First light set in! rained with hunger
Muddy fragrance woke up
the young buds of leaves
with diamond-like dew drops
Multi-colored arch connecting far distances
ringing in the sensation of delight

It was twilight !
Red turned the whole world
waving hands to send the sun
Orange turned the white clouds
Birds flying home!

The most wonderful sight of all

Sun dozed off .moon set its light
Deep blue was the world
Clear skies ,pleasant breeze
Glittery Stars peeping throughout
Depiction of rabbit on moon
It truly was a dream planet!

PEACE COUNTRY

Country knew only peace
Loving people
Humanity, peace was the religion
Harmony all over
Corruption! They knew not
Their innocent hearts
Knew only bliss

There in 1947
Set a motion of
Independent thinking,
Freedom for everything
Everything was absolutely fine
Only until the undeserving came in power!

Their ambition, inspiration
Their intention, their aspirations
Everything began with wealth
It was no more like before
Everything changed since then

people forgot the denotation of peace
Though everywhere it said
equality prevails
they themselves built a gulf
between rich and poor
Jealousy, distrust
hostility, desolation
Took its supremacy everywhere

A change
People pleaded
Their heart filled speech
While they dozed off deeply
Something not to be proud off
They made a change
With more cruel heart and thoughts
Happiness , bliss
Peace , humanity
That was all people begged for!

Having the best scholars in the world
It is still with the gerund ‘ing’ in it
For they never support the real uphill struggle
clever make their way somewhere else
Because of such a ghastly rulers
While the real powers
They know not how many are dying
besieged, howling
It is just a movie for them all

But people now know what world is!

DREAMS

Locked up inside
conflicting thoughts
fluctuating feelings
inaccessible aspirations
ever-changing illusions
mixed dreams!
Begin to transform the dreams to reality
Negative thoughts restricts!

Open the doors of your mind
Look around.
The real world!
World with selfless hopes
Take a step with positive thoughts
Never look back
Till you reach your destination
Then do you feel proud
Openness and challenge
You are born with it!
Your dreams n aspirations
Is no more a distant dream

RANDOM THOUGHTS

Pieces of thoughts
appear and disappear
With a notion of confusion
trapped between self respect and world
give up one
to acquire another

Everything begin with U
Me , my world , my life!
Yet bit of relationships do matter at times
Family , friends , love, relatives
A pure connection over love for yourself
Confession, obsession
Beings to dominate
Lose you self-esteem!

Ever-changing people
With a tint of hatred, envy, pessimism
unconstructive thoughts do creep into mind
only then you realize
you rule your world
not a speck of any connections matter
lose your world of connections!

Mind crooked up with random thoughts
Sometimes gloomy sometimes blissful
Still you find some way out
Begin to modify n set things straight
Land up either successful
Or a hope to succeed
That was what you called LIFE!!
