Not a Love Poet!














I am not a love poet.
But if I were, I would tell you…
About how you’d recognize love
The moment she would walk in
With a face you haven’t seen
And a voice you haven’t heard,
When between star and stardust
You’d feel the pulse that echoes of you two!

I am not a love poet.
But if I were, I would tell you…
About how love could make you
Laugh when you want to cry
And live when you want to die.
Make you smile when you want to frown
Turn your life all upside down,
And you’d cherish every minute of it!

I am not a love poet.
But if I were, I would tell you…
About how love would hold you tight
While you try to sleep at night.
Crawling into your troubled thoughts
To fill the missing colors in your life
That is nothing but black and white
Like the cloudless climes and the starry skies!

I am not a love poet.
But if I were, I would tell you…
About how love is like the light when there isn’t the sun
Or like the rainbow after the rain is done.
Maybe the stars that twinkle at night
Or the moon that shines upon you so bright
Giving you reasons to smile, hope and love
So that your heart would never ask for more!

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.
