LIFE


What is life? Ever thought of it?
Life is more than everything you can ever think of...
At times a game, at times a dream
Where comedy turns into tragedy...
Life is a story... Try and make yours a best seller ;)

Deceptive illusions and varying perceptions
Life is more than just cross-road junctions
It is nothing but a whirlwind of danger, that poses
To the naked eye like a bed of roses.


It is a lot more than just paper, cement and metal
That gap between diaper, merriment and petal
It is the tango of a smile and some sorrow
That forms a wonderful radiating rainbow.


 Meant to set out all alone on a voyage
Life for one ain’t like a colorful canvas image
Amidst it all comes and goes a thousand souls
That may or may not help one to achieve a goal.


A thousand hardships to ensure one’s defeat
Each one with warmth and smile one must greet
For failures alone maketh a man for who he is
Answering each challenge in life’s wonderful quiz.


When unique bonds are tried and tested
Pillars you count on, crumble unexpected
At times in life be it a fest, a fight or a flood
Friendship, to man, seems stronger than blood.


With age and experience, each one becomes wise
Until, to greet us Mr.Death comes in disguise
In this one life, no matter how short or long
People’s heart is where one must belong!

ENGINEERING : A lost treasure yet to be recovered

Image
Engineering is no longer the abracadabra of academics — the magic word that opens the door to a secure and lucrative career even before a student can put B.E. or B.Tech on the résumé. The quality of engineering education has often been called into question by academics and industry, and recent figures from the studies conducted by human resource development ministry seem to buttress their point of view. In view of the changes occurring in engineering practice and research, it is easy to understand why some raise concerns that we are attempting to educate 21st-century engineers with a 20th-century curriculum taught in 19th-century institutions. Engineering practice and its related technologies have become global in scope and scale. To be effective, today’s engineering graduate must not only be grounded in scientific and mathematical fundamentals, engineering principles and design, but must also have a global outlook and the broader skills to work in society in both, home country a

WOMAN

The shining sun seems to smile down brightly at her While the early morning autumn fog clouds her sight A coffee mug in hand, newspaper fluttering beside Seated on a rocking chair, she wonders at her plight… The scenery outside sure reflects the thoughts in her mind For the contrast both present seem samey to the eyes Besides the window, behind the curtains she smiles with ease But could sense within her a turmoil of emotions rise… Her gaze though seems to wander around the garden below She alone knows of not being in the present, but the past; Introspecting the decisions that once seemed sure to be right One after the other, each mistake seemingly the last… Adored now by the world around for her name and fame Forgotten she hasn’t, the days she had spent in the throes Still hounded by unwelcome memories of mockery and pain As relatives gave woes and friends turned into foes… The journey uphill hav

The man who has no inner life is a slave to his surroundings

“Deceptive illusions and varying perceptions, Life is more than just cross-road junctions. It is a whirlwind of danger that poses To the naked eye like a bed of roses.”             Life- this four letter word seems indeed very small to us, because the mind of a human can scarce conceive the plethora of opportunities it has to offer. We also have an inner life that defines the real us, our wishes and our dreams. This is what that gives meaning to our lives. Very often than not, we find ourselves at fork-roads, unable to decide which path to follow- the one that has been treaded upon yet seems uninteresting, or the one that remains unexplored, yet appeals to us. It is the general human tendency to follow the footsteps of others, because paving a path for oneself is something extremely difficult and requires immense dedication and will power. Also, when one embarks upon a new path in life, they tend to face defiance from the society and not everyone can show resilience.
