GRATITUDE - To God for the women in my life

What is gratitude?
It is the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation and to return kindness.
As simple as it may seem to be thankful, it usually takes a conscious effort to make it a daily occurrence. This thanksgiving, I chose to express gratitude to God - to thank him for giving me some amazing and irreplaceable people in my life.

To my mom...
I am grateful to God for letting me be your daughter
So nobody else got to be your fighting partner!
I don’t know if I was the best child you could have had
But you are the best mom I could have wished for!
Nobody could have kept their head high and their heart warm
The way you did when you faced life’s tormenting storm
You winked, not being one to back off from a challenge
You are my fierce lioness, teaching me how to fight!
To my grandma…
I am grateful to God for letting me be your granddaughter
So nobody else got to give you troubles and laughter!
I don’t know if I was the best grandchild you could have had
But you are the best grandma I could have wished for!
You weren’t one to smile and tell good stories in old grandma-style
But one to lend ears to my never-ending secrets all the while
You pampered and you scolded, so I laughed and I cried
You are my mama bear, teaching me how to care!
To my li’l sister…
I am grateful to God for letting me be your elder sister
So nobody else got to be the annoying baby-kisser! 
I don’t know if I am the best sibling you could have had
But you are the best little sister I could have wished for!
Your smile brightens my day, and your tears make me cry
Your love little one, makes the world seem as tiny as a fly
I remember the day I first held you in my arms and smiled
You are my tiny cub, teaching me how to love!

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.
