Go Away...

Walking in my life,

You made it glow like a bright light

Showing me the sunshine and the twilight

You made my life cheerful and bright

Walking out of my life,

You opened my eyes

Made me realize that

You took me on a ride all the while

The more slowly you came

The more rapidly you walked out

Sowing the little happiness

Bearing the fruit of agony all along

Today I sit alone and think

Why did you ever came

Why do you still remain…

…In my thoughts and in my dreams

Please go away

Go away forever…

...From my dreams and my thoughts

Leaving me in my slot

Risk...

To laugh is to risk appearing fool

To weep is to risk appearing sentimental

To reach out for another is to risk involvement

To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self

To place your ideas, your dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss

To love is to risk not being loved in return

To live is to risk dying

To hope is to risk despair

To try is to risk failure

But risk must be taken because the greatest risk in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, has nothing and is nothing. They may have avoided sufferings and failures but they have not experienced hope, love, change and success.

So risk the risk in life.

So Many... So Little

So many things to complain about,

So little things to cheer;

So many places to visit,

So little time to explore.

So much of work to do,

So little days to work upon;

So many dreams to accomplish,

So little time to sleep and dream.

So many new friends to be made,

So little old friends remains together;

So many people to care about,

So little space to care for self.

So much to express,

So little to say;

So much of wrongs

So little of wrights.

Life has become a Pandora box,

Of grievances and cribbing,

And of misgivings;

With little to enjoy.

Indian Education System

Amir Khan’s movies, have once again raised issues regarding the education system in India, the problems and pressures that the little helpless kids have to undergo and in this vast world of teachers and parents, no one to hear their voice and their problems.

His internationally acclaimed movie, “Taare Zameen Par” highlighted the issue of dyslexia, a rare disease. The poor kid was not able to make his problem understand to anyone and was being mocked down by his peers in school and scolded back at home by the parents.

Amir’s the most recent movie, “3 Idiots” also highlighted the rot the education system is into.

No doubt, the current education system emphasizes more on ruttofying method of learning. No one pays attention to thinking out of the box, understanding the concepts. Right from elementary education to the higher education parents, teachers and society puts pressure on the students to come first, to secure good marks and to follow the sheep herd and go for the popular courses like Engineering, Medical or MBA and so on. Unconventional courses like literature, courses related to art etc. are not given due respect in the society. Students, as a result of which feels embarrassed, dejected and are forced to take extreme steps.

Education system definitely needs a overhaul. It has to be made more students friendly. It should be consistent across India. Students should be given especial recognition for thinking out of the box. And competition based on marks should be done away with. Instead there should be competition on the basis of innovative thinking, taking initiative and inter-personal qualities.

Parents should listen to the students and allow them to pursue the career of their choice. They should be given proper counseling and encouragement to make their dream come true.

But this requires effort from everyone, right from the government, to teachers, parents and society as a whole.

Hope the learning from the above two movies are taken in the right perspective and implemented soon for the betterment of the coming generation.

Then we can definitely say that movies are not just for tie pass. Rather, they are also the great teachers of the society.

3 IDIOTS

Words go less while describing this movie. After a long awaited time Bollywood witnessed a movie which can be seen umpteen number of times by the people of any age, a movie which is blockbuster, super-duper and simply amazing.

This movie has got appeals for people of all ages but it has got special charm for them who are in college or have recently passed out of their colleges/ hostel life.

There are some important lessons that this movie has got. These are-

1- kabil bano.. safalta khud tumhare paas aayegi. No doubt we have to make ourselves worthy of success

2- Never follow the sheep herd. Always create your own path and listen to your heart. Pursue career of your choice

3- Parents must understand their children interest and help them in pursuing those interests

4- Fun and work should go together

5- Be cool!!! All Izz Well!!!!

6- Be selfless in your help

7- Do not mug the things. Learn the basic concepts

These are some general lessons. But the greatest lesson is perhaps about friendship.. a selfless, never ending and true relation is the need of the life.

Have atleast 2 idiots as your friend and never forget them. Always be in touch with your friends coz, what hurts is not the noise of the strangers but the silence of the dear ones.

New Year

New is the year, new is the beginning,

New is the calendar, new is the wish

New are the hopes and new are the aspirations;

But old is the theme and old is the whim

New is the peg, new is the tag,

New are the likes, new are the dislikes

New is the fun and new is the game

But old is the sun and old is the moon

New is the role, new is the place

New are the solutions, new are the questions

New will be place and new will be the life

But old are the memories and old are the friends.

Something will come,

Something will go

Something will change

But never will I.
