Between hope and despair

Between hope and despair,
I lie somewhere.
The path in between,
Has caught me unaware.

Between utopia and indifference,
Between nonchalance and reverence,
I see and try to,
Make some sense.

And at a distance,
I see a shining light,
It sometimes fades away,
And is sometimes bright.

I talk to myself,
Is it the destination.
Or maybe it is just
A figment of my imagination.

I wish one day,
Deep inside me,
The dichotomies will die,
And I'll let it be ...

ICSE ke paper out karna sabse easy hai. Koi seal nahi hoti" ...

Finance meets philosophy!

If you have ability and all you do is "lie" then it becomes a liability. If you are an ass and you are well "set" it is an asset. These basic principles can make a perfect balance shit.

new year

2008 is gone, and here we welcome 2009. we celebrate this change with a ritual involving music, food, wine and try to have the best of it all. a time when we make a million resolutions. we evaluate happenings of this day minutely as the omens of next 364 days to come. we hope that it has everything to make this day more than ordinary. but at the end of it, it is - just another day. just another year. just another passing moment. ... and this too shall pass!
