Life!

Life is beautiful
                          You get to live it only once...
So live it to the fullest
                          And capture your dreams...
Never think of what's happened
                          Think of what you can do...
Let your dreams live
                          And tell out what you have to...
For time never waits
                          Neither does it give you a second chance...
Accept the defeat
                          And aim for success in the future...
Success is within you
                          Just stay calm and search...
Calmness gives you
                          all the solutions...
And...
                          "Patience is the key to success".

Festivals and Celebrations!

'The Festive Spirit'
There's something great about it!
It brings together everybody
And brightens each one's life.

Words seem inadequate to pen
The marvelous spirit, IIScians showcase within
The togetherness makes every heart sing
A song, that takes the mind off everything.

Celebrations may be as simple as they can get
But the happiness accompanied, one can never forget
Each festivity has its exceptional expression
That's sure to leave a lasting impression.

What is life?

One is often qustioned about life whenever there is something that is going to effect life immensely! I was once questioned by my mentor regarding life. At that moment I was awestruck as to why my mentor was asking me about life. I have always looked up to my mentor for what he has acheived and his life experiences have always been motivating. So now i was sitting in front of my mentor and i had to answer about life. The first few thoughts that flowed were: 'I'm not as experienced as him to even give a reply. I have a lot of things to see in this world. What am i supposed to say.. I really have only one thing that i've a lot to learn in life still'.

I didn't have the courage to respond to that question and all of a sudden a colleague of mine walks into the room. He is then questioned about life. He responds to it almost spontaneously by saying ' life is a path of learning!'. I was totally shocked by his spontanity! I was thinking about it for so long and now he almost speaks the similar words that i wanted to say, but yet i've been silent all through the time. Now, my mentor asks me that question again and i'm still searching for the right words to speak when he says ' you are scared of even answering this question. You are scared about how i will judge you' to this my mind instantly thinks 'wow.. My mentor knows me quite well.'

I don't quite remember if i gave an answer at that very time. One thing that i do remember is that the question lingers in mind every moment i try to do something different. Each decision of mine is completely influenced by that particular conversation! In solitude i seldom think that life is what we make it to be but at times when i'm in a crowded place, i tend to observe the various shades of life. Its sometimes hidden in others' deeds and words, while at other times in the spirit and determination to overcome every situation and just smile.

Smiles !!! :)

“Smile a lot as it costs nothing” is one the quotes I have come across many a time. I often wonder, what makes me remember these particular words! Smiles are always around and it's I, who just needs to smile back. Every smile has a story to tell whatsoever be the circumstance. In life, I've seldom felt that there is any disappointment when I sit back to think about it and a joyous aura surrounds me. There are myriad things that bring a smile and happiness... like 


The rain on the silvery white petals of a flower,
The euphony in the sound of the bell each hour,
The beauty of nature during a walk,
The innocence in every child's talk,
The pleasant memories of the good old college days,
The warmth on a cold day from the gentle Sun's rays,
The footprints in snow that seem to remain forever,
The belief to undertake many a endeavour.

...the list will go on as there are so many things that are very small in nature but they surely bring on a smile.
Now where might all these words lead... The answer is unknown to me too! But one thing is certainly true that even the thought of a few things is so beautiful that it brings on the smiles instantly! It's the memories, incidents, beauty of things around, a new adventure, a new beginning and few such things that remain close to the heart. Now may be a time for reconciliation, a time to sit back, relax and recollect all those priceless moments which bring back the twinkle to the eye. Smiles go hand in hand with an optimistic attitude to never have any regrets and a determination to always be pragmatic. "Frown and you frown alone, but smile and the whole world smiles with you."

My world and ME!

Strange but True
Below are things I recollect out of the blue.
And now, as I write about me,
I recall with glee...
Meeting friends old,
Increases my happiness n-fold.
Watching children play,
Brightens every moment of the day.
The music and the rhythm of each beat
Refresh memories sweet.
Euphony in the rain drops' sound
Spreads joy all around.
Reading a book,-a hobby of late,
Keeps me relaxed and up to date.
Summarising the above things as the cream of the cake
The cherry toppings are my family members and the friends I make!
