UNSPOKEN

They say words left unsaid sit inside your mind screaming. Have you felt that way? Ever wanted to share something with someone? Did you ever think of telling someone something but you never could speak aloud the thoughts in your mind? Have you wished for that one last chance to have told someone something?

***********************************************************************************************************************




If you listened deeply to the silence in conversations
You might have heard the gentle yet constant ringing.
No, that pause between words is not in your head
It is the silent whisper of the words you left unsaid.

It is the “I love you” that was left unspoken,
It is the “Sorry” that came a touch too late
It is the “Goodbye” that didn’t get a chance,
And all the secrets with an endless wait!

The unspoken words bleed through the fingers of your hand
Smothering the paper with thoughts you don’t understand
You watch amazed as sentences get strung together
Into stories that jumped free from your body’s confines.

The truth in your eyes and every one of your mascara lies
The love that you know and the hate that you just show
Everything that you have kept hidden for ages
Now lies in front of you on the blue inked pages!

The words you felt were worthless now have nowhere to hide
A smile creeps on your face, a weight lifts off your chest
As you finally notice the breathtaking beauty
Of the unspoken words that you kept bottled inside!

Realize it now while you are alive and can speak,
You can save a life, or empower someone weak
For words are what the whole world ought to hear
Before it just becomes the ringing in someone’s ear!

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.
