Hello everyone, glad to be back and doing what I love. Just got hold of a few classics that I missed during my high school. What better way to spend your money than reminiscing the good old days in hardbound? Will be reviewing them shortly, stay tuned!!

WHY EXAMS?
Exams are one of those time when you realise and experience that no one can help you other than yourself. I always asked the question of – why the exam? what sense does it make? and this is the best answer I could come up with – this essential lesson ingrained in us since childhood so we tend to accept it.
What do you think? Let me know in the comment section.
SUNDAY – MONDAY SCENARIO
Sunday. Wow…that very word is enough to bring smiles among millions. while monday, I don’t have to say.
This nuances of sunday – monday scenario is a simple and effective way of training the young about the practicality of life. “Never be too overjoyed or too depressed” coz that absolutely has no affect over the situation. no matter how much we despair it, we need to attend our monday classes.
Part of growing up is to get used to things we hate and to give upon things which we have no say on.
Homeworks, records, assignments, projects, graphs and what not…we do it. we do things as we HAVE to do it, without knowing or asking why.
Initially the urge would have been higher but slowly it fades away , ‘as we have to do what is told’, for reasons as simple as grades.
Honestly, how many of us remember the grades we got in elementary. nobody cares to remember as they aren’t important. What’s important is the knowledge that we gain. only when we look back, we know why we did, what we did. but if we were smart enough to know it prior we would have done a whole lot better.
However, though our elders tell us over and over about the importance of education, we neglect it, we think it as a joke and go on in our our own merry way.
Overall, there is lack on both sides or on one side, either way you are going to fall off the cliff. In the latter there is a possibility of you not falling down, provided we do our assigned roles such that we don’t have any regrets in the future.
INTROVERTS
Introverts are neither too social nor are they anti-social elements. They are just normal breathing human beings with a different definition of being social.
They would rather fit into an intermediate class called ‘differently social’, where they try to find a balance between the both like a perfect rhythm of salt and sweet.
The combination of social and anti social is as dynamic as any combination of salt and sweet thereby giving them a touch of unpredictable nature-hood.
EXAM DREAD
That dreadly minutes
When we receive our exampaper
We feel every inch of our body
Trying to keep us composed, to keep us alive.
Sometimes I wonder,
Why haven’t I passed out
With heart attack.
I hoped I never would
Wonder about these lingering thoughts
Over me passing out
Once I entered college,
But sadly
Somethings never change.
REMEMBER THOSE DAYS
Remember those days
when I lurked around the school library
along with my friends
trying to find that one book
that stings your page turning fingertips
even while experiencing tiredness
while every single bone of your body retorts
in your every nerve.
Remember those days
having your lunch
in the giant staircase,
chatting about the day
with great humor.
Remember those days
before the summer break
while we start the countdown
a month ago.
Remember those days
while i felt ironic
when someone said that
this is the best part of your life.
As we get to do so much of homework
which had to be done withcreativity
all through the holidays.
‘Experience is the best teacher’
My school days was indeed
the best part of my life.
PERCEPTION: THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS
Remember those days
when we striven for a break
and when the break arrives
we tend to strive to go back to our routine.
During the routine,
we feel mechanized.
During the break,
we feel to be lacking our very identity.
At every point of time, we tend to lack something
if that’s how we perceive it.
Changing this perception
changes everything beautifully.
FAREWELL TO A FRIEND
What i admire the most about you
is how well you balance your life.
You study when you have to
you smile when you feel like
you play when you desire
and make all around you stunned.
you are a friendly girl moving with all
with no secondary thoughts.
You are also a smart lad
filled with genius answers
and thought provoking questions.
You are also a woman of great virtues
you have chosen the path of righteousness
and developed the skill to speak out the truth
with a grace.
Your kind and care-some nature
meets no bounds.
I hope our journey of friendship
lasts forever…..and ever….
STREAMLINE VISION
Going down on the landscape slide
as the years pass by
the world goes narrower
and narrower.
Imagination curbed to reality
brain shrunk in the narrow realms of reality.
Losing sight of either sides
running along as heart pants
in the narrow stream
aiming at a never ending destination.
NEVER SAY NEVER
Never say never
assuming there is nothing like never
nothing is no better than never
is definitely better than never
and nothing alone.
As alone what might seem impossible
together nothing ever seems impossible.
