Inside story
hide the tears
nothing gained
nothing feared
all was lost with bloody scars
all it cost
were a few wishing
stars.
I always used to wonder how these poets, authors get inspiration from. Though V P humbly admit that, it is just a matter of one moment, rest is all donkey work(here writing) Yes, everybody craves for that one moment. Although all the stuff i wrote comes within me, but this particular poem i had written was the aftereffect of above lines.( it was a wallpaper.) When i read it first time, i suddenly felt some rush inside me. As my stuffs lies everywhere in the room, so it wasn't hard to catch a pen and book where i was sat. The end product after 10 minutes is lies below.
PS: Don't relate those two in meaning.It was just it spurred me.
What if
nobody besides me,
i will still love
what inside of me.
What if
there is no shoulder to cry for,
I will let myself drawn into my tears,
let tears felt envy of my eyes.
What if
none listen to me
I will let my burning heart to go loud,
so much till i feel numb.
What if
there is no way ahead
I will blindfold myself,
and follow my instincts.
What if
words come hard on me
I will borrow some from you,
to fill the unexplained sorrows...

अंतरे
साथसंगत विसंगत वाटू लागली
आप्तस्वकीय पाठ दावुन पलाले
राहिलेले शर्करामिश्रित जहर देवू लागले
सोबतीही अंतर ठेवू लागले
चेहरा पाहून, तोंड फिरवू लागले
भासे केवढा केविलवाणा प्रयत्न त्यांचा
वाटे अतीव कीव त्यांची
जरी देती अंतरे सारी
ती न सोडी साथ माझी
रोमारोमात सलसलते
कविता फक्त माझी...

पाउले चालती पंढरीची वाट...
घेउनी तुलशी वृन्दावन डोक्यावरती
सांगाया विठुची कीर्ति
पाउले चालती पंढरपूराती|

जिंदादिल
ज्योत जळत असते
अन समां उजलत असते
ना ज्योतीच्या ठायी कोणा गर्वाभिमान
राखते नेहमी प्रकाशाशी ईमान |
कुठून तरी वेडा वारा येतो
अन ज्योत विज़वुन जातो
वाटते मिटाविले आपण हिचे अस्तित्व
पण त्या आधी तिने सारा आसमंत उजलाविलेला असतो |
तिच्या प्रकाशवाटेवरून जेव्हा चालती
अनेक प्रज्वल्लित हस्तके
तेव्हा वाराही नतमस्तक होतो
वाराही नतमस्तक होतो|

BCCI banned bouncers in domestic cricket.
Yup, Cricket is my favorite sport, but I haven’t written a single post related to cricket yet.
That is somewhat weird, so here I am with wicked cricket post, rather breaking news.
BCCI banned bouncers in domestic cricket.
From our reporter it came out that, recently held BCCI meeting(they supposed to meet select indian team for Asia cup) they came out banning bouncers in domestic cricket.
In a press release they said that….
“Being gentleman’s game we should ban such outrageous act of bowling bouncers to batsman. Bouncers can be proving to be very dangerous to health.” For avoiding bouncers ( yes, because Indian batsman never attack bouncers, except SRT) batman had to do following things.
1. Duck! Yes for avoiding bouncer you have to set your eye on the ball and then duck! So that ball sails over batsman’s head. Sometimes varied bounce can cause lot of trouble. The timing of your ducking may not get right, and you may have to face chin music.(remember Dada).
2. Protect expensive helmet. Yes, our batsman cant afford to splash out money on helmet and such things.( oh yes, they have to save it for IPL nights)
3. Excessive ducking can cause slip disk. Back ache..( Yuvi does not fit in this scheme, because he seems to be lot more flexible shaking his body while dancing on ramp)
BCCI new regulations. ( Though rules can be changed by MCC, but BCCI rules on money power)
- Bouncer will be called no ball, also free hit will be awarded.
- If any bowler bowled two bouncers in an over, he will barred for bowling in the match.
- If bowler bowls bouncer in the match, his 10% match fee will be deducted for each bouncer.
- Bowlers who bowls speedy bouncer, ask to check their speed.( sometimes it gets difficult to spot the ball)
- BCCI will raise this bouncer issue in next ICC meeting. K Shrikanth (chief selector) will meet various cricketing board presidents. He will try to make one opinion on this issue. ( Pawar reportedly lured them stakes in IPL teams, if they co operate.)
PS: West Indian bowlers are thinking of quitting cricket.( of course bouncer is their main weapon.)
For more breaking news stay connected.

Torrents
Torrents
All we know but don’t know how to handle it. So for all those people this post is might prove to be helpful.
1. In order to use torrents , first download torrent application like utorrent.
2. Go to any torrent site like torrentz or piratebay, search whatever you want.
3. Select torrent which had highest number of seeds and leechers, or the one who has green tick ie nothing but virus free. ( for more about seeds and leechs, googled)
4. Then load the related torrent file and open it on utorrent. Voila!
Its really simple, but now I am going to tell you more tricks.
- In preferences select random port between 45k to 55k.
- In advanced select net maxhalfopen to 100.
- Select torrent in utorrent and choose high bandwidth.
- Preferably chose upload speed least ie 5kbps.
More queries are welcome.

सतार
माज्या दुखाची सतार |
बरेच दिवस जाले रियाज काही होत नव्हता
सवयच होत चालली होती जणू काही त्या सतारीलासुधा
बरोबरच आहे,"रोजच मरे त्यास कोण रडे" |
आलवितसे आसवांची तान
व त्यास ठेचकालानारे पार्श्वसंगीत |
उठली ती आज ज़न्कारून
गेले तनमन शहारून
कोणी छेडली ती तार
जाला तनत्कार
गलबलले साश्रुनयन |
ती गेली तशीच परतून
नाही पाहिले एकदाही वलून |
नव्हती मजलाही कसलीही आशा
न जाणली तिने ही परिभाषा |
छेडलेला राग बसलो पुन्हा आलवित
नव्हता कोणाचाही आधार
होती फ़क्त हाती सतार
फ़क्त हाती सतार |
PS: By far this is one of my favorite poem. Felt very satisfied(although i felt every time i did any poem) after completing this one, literally soaked into that.

नकळत
अन शहरते अंगांग
न जाणो कोण्या कल्पनाविलासात
होतो मी दंग
नकळत जाते नजर तिच्याकडे
जेंव्हा सारते ती बट डोल्यावारील
देतात दगा डोळे, साले
जरी असतील आपुले
नकळत होतो स्पर्ष तिचा
जेंव्हा देते मजला ती टाली
त्या स्पर्शाला नसतो वास कोण्या वासनेचा
तरी चुकतो ठोका मात्र हृदयाचा!
नकळत घेतला जातो हात तिचा हातात
तव नयनालिपी अवतरते संभाशनात
उठतात तरंग एकाच वारंवारातेचे
तेंव्हा नकलाताही सारे कलते.

रुपेरी काटा
तेव्हा कुठलाच प्रवास मोठा नसतो
काटा कुठेतरी रुतत असतो
एक डोळा हसत तर दुसरा रडत असतो .
स्वताला भेटताना
Really," You never meet the same person again" so all those negative thoughts gone to some galaxy which i havnt explored yet. Now i am feeling really great. Life is a gift. It presents you brand new day everyday. Its totally depend on us how we going to do with that brand new day. I am fortunate enough i have only 3 options.
1. celebrate
2. celebrate
3. (no need to write this one)
PS 1>.So thats me, meeting myself again and its a cool fun. Now reading Suresh Bhat(his poems) and feeling top of the world.
PS2> now having net at home dont feel excited anymore( thats different for me) not feeling good anymore wasting time doing silly browsing.

मन पाखरू पाखरू
तर कधी दूर आकाशात
कधी वास्तवात
तर कधी कविराज्यात
मन पाखरू पाखरू
जसा बेभान हा वारु
कधी रमते रम्य संध्याकाळी
कधी होते मलूल हर्शवेली
ना चालेल मात्रा यास कोण्या दवादारुची
हावी यास मोकालिक फ़क्त धुंद हवेची
मन पाखरू पाखरू
जसा बेभान हा वारु
काय हवे
अन काय नको
बदलते क्षणोक्षणी
उत्तर देता देता थकेलाही चक्रपाणि
मन पाखरू पाखरू
जसा बेभान हा वारु
जरी असेल प्रबल इच्छा
तरी घेते अनंत आढेवेढे
ना कुणास ठावुक असे का होते
जसे कही न सुतनारे कोड़े
मन पाखरू पाखरू
जसा बेभान हा वारु
3 idiots
(Apology: The post may contain some rigid statistical words. So please help yourself by yourself)
Last week we had to submit one assignment (a legal way to make people eligible for final exam) on Simulation of Markov chain, yes the topic was related to Stochastic Process. The thing was like that, we had to simulate 10 markov chains and then we had to do some estimation and now I forgot (that is not important here) So the key was that we had to write quite a bit difficult programmes and them we had to execute them 10 times for different values of n.
I wrote these programmes but I was very reluctant to do these repetitive work ( or rather lazy) but since it was a question of 5 marks and having not done very good in internals I decided give it a last shot. So we (my batch mates) went to our lab. I was the operator and others were (vocal) spectators. Having finishing with 3 repetitions I got bored, and then the idea struck. Yes it was straight from 3 idiots. Remember chamatkar to balatkar( how can we forget?, omi) So things was like that each time I had to do for next n, I had to make lot of changes in the previous programme, mainly in variables ( there were 8-9 in total) I decided to use replace function. Voila!!! It became all easy now. All I just had to do was replacing thing, and it took me only half an hour to complete rest of the work.
I was happy at least I can apply a thing or two from movies (or rather any visual medium) in real life. I use to read CSR, and there was a mock group discussion. One topic was the same about visual and print media (as usual I don’t remember the topic now). There they echoed the same things that we should respond what happens around us. I was happy that I able to do the same. These are the rare moments for me. ( ha ha)
PS: Markov chain main hai
Nachiket total lost
ACP ko khooni chahiye
at any cost.

Sometimes....
Some people are always loaded with very false pre-assumptions about themselves and the very fact that they are really happy to remain in that scenario. They always think that, I had covered all the other things and I am always on the safer side but let me tell u friend, people around you are not that much foolish to identify this thing. It’s just a matter of time to unveil the face behind an opaque mask.
Various people had very strange likings or habits. I am not SME (subject matter expert) but
Some of them are:-
1. Don’t appreciate anybody if he or she does marvelous job. My friend it is just few words that make the person happy and if we are not in a position to say some niceties but at least don’t say the words that sent the moral down.
2. Frame stories about friends and trying to picturise them as a bad guy. I had seen some guys do this and this is the cheapest thing I can imagine.
3. Trying hard to make rift between people by applying each and every trick in the bag they had. Sometimes they got success and sometimes no such drama, what they had anticipated. That sent them into some introspections but not that they learn few things from this but they came up with new trick to trick people. They are such a good actors that it is always hard to find who is on the wrong side, for the people who were listening those stories; so no fault on their side.
4. Always moderate things such as every time they came up with good individual. For being good individual you don’t have to do something, it is just you have be yourself rather than trying to sound someone else. I always find amusing, why it is always hard for some people to do selfless deed.
5. To be a good leader u has to identify the hidden talents amongst your team-mates and you have to blossom it. Not that fearing that he would take all the limelight. This may results in bad relationships. What is now we can see the state of Pakistan Cricket team: everybody trying to pull each other’s legs, and end result is obvious.
PS:
The line is straight because it has no corners.

Déjà vu
Well its been almost 4 years for which I thought was end of d period which v all luv to forget…our stay at FC..few days ago we had a dinner at FC road, it was a big treat gave by my OGF(old good friend), for securing admission for MCA in symbi..its like goin back to old days…n how it was tough to get back on track…
As I was havin a good time wid them, n I lost somewhere।(nowadays it happens a lot).
I always believe wat I can say in Marathi,"माणूस हां दुसर्याच्या चुकापासून शिकत नाही तर तो स्वताला जालेल्या जखामापसून शिकतो."
So true…i had lot of them..n there will b more…but now I felt lot tired of these things…
these days I felt lot more like dat, its lyk my head is spinnin all d time॥in d past I was addicted to CS..n it was okay..more so because I was helpless..
but now for small reasons I went into dat spotless mind framework…be it no preparation for regression or not able to find proper inspiration for writin a play for annual gathering, or freaked out instinct for wrintin poems( or prose or haikus or whatever)॥but d best part is dat now I don’t feel guilty of dat।(here poem)..i donno wat is d reason behind d lack of inspiration or wat kind of thrust I m lookin for….now I felt lot of afraid of these things, n after some split seconds I went into another mood..without worrying anything… I hate myself.
PS:- See now m posting this n I m not in dat spotless mind framework…donno wat can I say more!
प्रवाह
मी नको बोललो ...
तू तू मी मी च्या द्वंद्वात
दोघेही निकट जाहलो ...
गेले ते दीस
पाडूनी डोक्याचा किस
शोधण्या अनन्त बहाणे
पण आता दोघेही झालोत शहाणे...
आता पुरते फक्त एक दृष्टिभेट
होण्यास समेट ...
या वालवाच्या पावसात चिम्ब चिम्ब नाहलो
अन या बेभान प्रवाहात दोघेही नकळत वाहलो ...

Exam, Study table, Bed bugs…..
Last week was exam week. My first internal exams of this semester were on. This time it was really hard 4 me to get into dat exam mode(more serious luk on d face, thinkin all d time about how much to score, how to prepare particular subject, no movies, restrictions on long night discussion wid hostellites..)
Wid d one horrible day at library I decided I will do whatever I want to study in my room..as it remains empty all d time…so I cleaned my study table(finally!!!).n started studying..As I was sittin there for hours I realize dat something was moving around my hand. I watched carefully but It was so small…den my hand started itching, then neck,followed by legs…n disaster struck; d bed bugs attacked my table…
Room mates came by midnight.first they were shocked dat I cleaned my table, later they showed some sympathy to me on dat bed bug issue…they gave me one suggestion dat I should catch those n drop them into mug half filled wid water…I followed dat…n their population started reducing…
Hostel authorities do this Pest control drama every month, but only god knows wat liquid they spray…or may b bed bugs in the university increased their immunity to such liquid..self defense mechanism…(i can visualize them)
They never allowd me to sneak through some power nap on table…
I get a feeling dat they r alertin me all d time; study study study…
preventive measurement…
1.wear full sleeve T..wear socks n hand gloves while studyin(hmmm good 1, will hav a second thought)
2.Anyways u bought dat Khatneel (killer spray) ..spray in on table..(will think on dis also)
3.change ur study location..(where???)
4.Neglect them..(how how how?)
5.wash ur room( this was cohesively rejected by us.)
PS: More suggestions r welcome!

U:- Hmmm…yes why not!..( They were good lookin so no point in…)

They didn’t reveal wat was d test, n wat was d project…but they promised dat it will gonna take only 10-15 mins. dats why v were ready 2 entertain them(ow v were lot busy:-)..
So d test(?) starts…
Introgetter:- what is ur name?
Me:-Nachiket.
I:- Na..cha..chi..ka..ta..
M:- yes ur right!

circle
I was shocked when my dad called me…bcoz just last week I met him n he was doin gr8…it was just an attack n all lost…
I guess I became more emotional ever since I started reading Va Pu’s books…It was a bit hard 4 me 2 accept d fact…but somehow I gather d courage. I felt lot sorry 4 my mother. she sacrificed everything just 2 look after him…
I remember I read one book on Death or thought about deaths by Khushwant Singh(I forget d title)…Yes, everyday v hav 2 leave dis world…wat is count at d end of d day dat how u lived d lyf…
I read all those thoughts lot of times but never thought a lot on this. I just remember a say (though I m unable 2 present it completely) it goes like this. “.. ...live as if u die 2moro”. In Munnabhai MBBS jimmy shergil came 2 know dat he had a fatal disease n he had very few days in his hands…n at dat time he realized though he was grown up but never tasted d lyf. At dat point he decided he will gonna do wat his heart will guide( I termed dis as following ur instincts)…but it’s not good dat all d time v will hav 2 wait 4 this signal…why just v cant live as v wished? A smile, a thanx, some warm words, a sorry, some words of appreciation, a hug , a small pat on d back will do d business, but v were so miser dat v hardly did this even if v wanted .
Yes all d time in our lyf v were bind by some social or any other taboo…v wanted to do something what v feel inside but afraid of wat people will think or wat so called society will say…
V all r materialistic. The radius of our lyf-circle is very small…n v all r happy revolving d same periphery again n again…nothing comes 2 mind like expanding d horizon. Sometimes I wished why did I read all dis one? its better 2 b ignorant sometimes….
Lyf is such a gr8 dat it gives a brand new day…why? just to forget if something bad happened wid us yesterday…n cherish bright moments ,take inspiration from them n be happy n make other happy…instead we all happy wid our sorrowful past. Always chewing wat went wrong wid us…Make ur slate of lyf blank every day. Face each moment with lot of affection.
In Partner(classic by VP)…there was a quarrel between wife n husband…n he was sure dat she not gonna speak wid him at least 3 days…they went to respective offices without talkin to each other…During day she had 2 follow some funeral…dat time she realized, How small m i? m gonna waste my 3 days just bcoz of some misunderstanding. she felt ashamed of her…when she backed from office she talked a lot wid her husband. He was baffled. but only she knew d value of these moments, which she gonna b missed…
some cellular company’s ad goes like this..”Make d most of now”. Yes v hav 2 do d same…it matters less if things go wrong but at least u hav dat satisfaction dat u heard ur inner voice instead following others blindly…
PS:- All those thoughts comes 2 my mind when I alone…though I present it in a messed up manner..but they r just they r…

Lying 2 myself
Donno where I was heading…
The noise was deafening
It was so unlike me
I was sure all was gonna be fine..
But inside
But inside
I was lying 2 myself…
Donno what I was looking for…
I thought everyday will be another day
but the same old story repeated
It was so unlike me
I was sure all was gonna be fine..
But inside
But inside
I was lying 2 myself…
Donno what was inline 4 me….
There were some theories
There were some practices
I thought I was optimistic
but did sounds like pessimistic
The line was becoming misty
It was so unlike me
I was sure all was gonna be fine..
But inside
But inside
I was lying 2 myself…
Donno who was he?
who always believed in pluck rather than luck
saying only “ All is well” was not gonna be enough…
It was so unlike me
I was sure all was gonna be fine..
But inside
But inside
I was lying 2 myself…
Donno if I liked d situations…..
Donno whether my heart was pounding over or not…
I faced them all but now I am tired…
Its so unlike me
I am sure alls gonna be fine..
But inside
But inside
I am lying 2 myself…
PS:- i guess d moments r coming really fast... :)
Chameli….
Hmm…I was a bit skeptical about whether I should participate or not. I do listen songs but remember only starting lines…what they say all about “Mukhada?” n all those is not my cup of tea.Last week our trip went 2 Harne…In between while playing Antakshari in bus my friend was prompting me…but my response was, ”Are yaar, prompt first 2-3 lines not just one… so that at least I can sing something(?)”…Remembering lyrics is always d toughest thing. Forget about English songs I m even bad at Hindi songs irrespective of whether they r very famous or not.(here I m barring myself commenting on latest Hindi songs…most of them contains very alien words which I never heard in my lyf)
So far now u hav very good idea about how m I good (?) at all these (songs) things…
Back 2 Antakshari…
I had a partner who was very good at all above things(!!!)…so I was relaxed (n he was perplexed)…but it turned out to be dat In buzzer round v guessed 3 songs correctly (unbelievable)…so v were on high…until dat Dumb Charades round came…
When host announces dat (Dumb Charades) particular round , we were like seeing each others dumb faces… After some grueling discussion we decided(?) dat I will do d acting business n he will do d guessing part!!!
Until our turn comes v were boosting each other falling confidence. n d time came…I went up…d movie name was “CHAMELI” . we had 2 minutes. We had 2 do all those things in those 2 mins like….
- guessin correct movie name
- correct actors name
- n one song from dat movie…(hush…even I felt like sweating writing this now)
So d time had started…I was total clueless. How to act on that word? my partner was doing all such right things…in between encouring me also (or begging) yaar kuch to acting kar….I had a thought dat…those 70 mins in Chak De was more easy than these 2 mins…In a last attempt I even did some weird Mujra type acting…by then he already gave up…in d end we finally scored 0 In dat round…n throw out of d competition.(which was eventual)…
After dat Antakshari everybody was like pointing a gun loaded wid full of suggestion( on chameli) on me…
Few of them r as follows…
- Act like smelling a flower (OMG yes chameli is a flower I forget dat at dat time)..
- Act like eating wid spoon (chammach) den break d word cha…like dat do d rest of d letters.
- Point 2 Chandu( my friend who was present at dat time)…break d letter cha…n then act like dying (meli or mela, in marathi)…cha+meli
- Do some Karina stunts n let him guess her movie…(how can I do Karina stunts?)
- one horrible suggestion from my partner: Act like some reptile on d tree…which he thought either gecko or chameleon…n then he will came down 2 chameli (from chameleon)
- Dance on d song “main saat samunder chod…like dat”…(if I was good at dancing then it was more easy 2 act, later ven they saw d vdo they learned dat it was useless suggestion…)
- Other suggestions were totally outrageous ….which I can’t describe here (!!!)
But at d end of day one of my friend gave me good lessons about dat particular(horrible) round…so lets c whats in line 4 Antakshari 2011…

Nachiket?
Well last few days I m facing very strange kind of reaction from my some of hostel friends(some of them I don’t know at all) …
The conversation goes like this….
Unknown person:- r u Nachiket?
Me:- yes
UP:- Do u know who was Nachiket?
Me:- Yes( Still confused wat he tryin 2 indicate)
UP:- So…..
Me:- ???
UP:- Tell me d whole story…
Me:- Yes mylord…
Now at first I was very eager 2 tell all those things…. But now every 2-3 days someone comes…n above conversation repeats…
Now im gonna do some search n give some insight about d name NACHIKET..
Nachiketa (Sanskrit:नचिकेता, IAST: Naciketā) was a son of an ancient Indian sage of the name Vājashravasa. He was taught Self-knowledge, the truth about the human soul, by Lord Yama. "In this context (Vājashravasa) refers to what may be called exoteric religion, the tradition about the sustaining power of the Universe which has been heard and handed down through generations. It is as a symbol of such exoteric religion that the man Vājashravasa speaks and acts." Nachiketa, who was offered to Yama to find a place in Heaven by his father, "is derived from 'na chiketas,' that which is unpercieved and refers to the quickening Spirit that lies within all things like fire, latent in wood, the spirit that giveth as opposed to Vājashravsa, the letter which killeth."
The story of the conversation between Nachiketa and his teacher Yama is the teaching of the Kathopanishad. Vājashrava, desiring a gift from the gods, made offerings of all he owned. But the kind of cows that he had were old, yielding no milk and worthless; not such as might buy the worshiper a place in Heaven. Vājashravasa's son, Nachiketa would have his father make a worthier offering. To his sire he spoke: "To which god wilt thou offer me?" "To Death do I give thee".
Nachiketa thought: "I shall be neither the first nor last that fares to Yama. Yet what will he do with me? It shall be with me as with others." So Nachiketa went his way to Death's wide home, and waited there three days; for Death was on a journey. When Death returned, his servants said: " A Brahman guest burns like a fire; Nachiketa waits three days unwelcomed; do thou soothe him with an offering of water, for all is lost to him in whose abode a Brahman waits unfed."
Then Death spoke to Nachiketa: "Since thou, an honored guest, hast waited in my house three days unfed, ask of me three boons in return, I shall grant them". Then first he prayed: " Grant to my father peace and to know and welcome me when I return." Yama answered: "Be it so." Nachiketa asked again: " In the Heaven-world there is no fear; there is neither hunger, nor old age, nor fear of death. Reveal to me the sacred fire that leads to Heaven and immortality." Then Yama described the sacred fire- what stones for its altar, and how disposed; and Nachiketa said it over, learning the lesson taught by Yama. Yama spoke again: " I grant thee, furthermore, that this sacred fire be known for ever by thy name; thine is the fire that leads to Heaven, thy second boon."
Nachiketa asked again: " The great mystery of what cometh after death; he is, some say; others say, he is no more. This great doubt I ask thee to resolve." Yama replied: " Even the gods of old knew not this; this is a matter hard to be learnt; ask me any other boon only ask not of death." But Nachiketa insisted to resolve mystery after death and no other boon. Yama explained that the goal of sacred wisdom, of goodly works and faith, is Om! This word is Brahman, the supreme. He who doth comprehend this word, whatever he desires is his.
Thus having learnt the wisdom taught by Yama, and finding Brahman, Nachiketa was freed from death. The details of the story is narrated in Garuda Purana.

अनामिका
मी काही म्हणणार नाही
मी तिच्याकडे पहावे
तिनेही पहावे
मी नजरेतून सर्वकाही सांगावे
पण तिच्या नयनाचा थांगच लागत नाही
तरीही मी काही म्हणणार नाही
मी तिच्यासाठी lecture बुडवावे
तिची वाट बस स्टोपवर पहावी
तिच्या फ़क्त एक नजरेसाठी जुँरावे
पण तिने दूँकुनही न पहावे
तरीही मी काही म्हणणार नाही
नंतर ओळख वाढवत न्यावी
तिनेही सर्व गार्हाने ऐकवित
मी ही सर्वकाही मनामोकले सांगावे
पण तिच्या वागण्याचा अर्थाचा न कलावा
तरीही मी काही म्हणणार नाही
मी वाईट मित्रांची संगत सोडून द्यावी
सीगारेटला स्पर्शाच न करावा
तिच्यासाठी मन मारावे
पण तिने प्रशंसेचा शब्दही न उच्चारावा
तरीही मी काही म्हणणार नाही
कॉलेज संपले सेंड ऑफ जाला
माजी नजर फ़क्त तिलाच शोधत होती
तिनेही माज्याकडे यावे
अन म्हणावे Best of luck for future
अन मी फ़क्त डोळ्यांनी सांगावे ...
I LOVE U!!!

Let me catch that one moment…
Yesterday I was not at all ready to get out of my bed. I felt lot tired because of sports events which r on…I even skipped jogging…As I was moving aimlessly in d bed, bed-bugs were still playing hide n seek wid me…I guess it was around 8am…I got hold of some lines n I thought I had to catch dis moment…I drew my notebook (which had lot of empty space)..n I scribbled those lines…n to my surprise within 3-4 minutes I made a poem...with full 5 stanzas…I knew it was raw…but d feeling was awesome…
Everybody craves for dat one moment…u need to hav patience…

Result
My result was declared last week. I my GPA was 5 out of 6. I got O(outstanding) in 4 subjects…I m loner in d class who got O in Economics…
In spite of this I don’t feel much happy…I really don’t know d exact reason but I don’t feel elated anymore if I excel in studies…I guess d reason may be my bleak past. I think dat I still not got over this…I feel lack of inspiration to study. I find out lot hard to do regular study. I struggle within myself…
Well one of my friend in M. Sc. who scored above 90% in Graduation…this time failed in one of d subject…since he failed in only one subject he was eligible for retest (second life). And what I heard he is quite confident dat this time he will return victorious…
WHERE R V GOING? A guy who is capable of topping d chart find it difficult to clear d subject n retest in same subject gives chance to go forward…what was he doin all d time? He knew already 3 months back when his final exam was…n if I talked about RETEST… u hav 2 follow all d procedure… first u hav 2 apply for retest to d concerned prof n if he gives green signal then retest will conduct in next 3-4 days…. I guess month’s time is lot more than just 3-4days…
This thing happened wid one of d scholar student, what will a normal student do ?
When this happens I lost my faith in this education system…
PS:
Ø GPA- Grade Point Average
