Bakul…Work in Progress

I was in my final year when one of my friend was sticking poster on my college notice board for the children’s  workshop organized by bakul. I thought it was like any other poster and didn’t pay any heed but one thing stayed with me i.e the line which said something ”if not us, who”(later I learnt the actual meaning in its entirety).  One week later I was walking through the lanes of satyanagar I met ‘viswajeet’(the same guy who was sticking the poster) and he introduced me to sujit mohapatra—that was it. Once you meet him, you are for sure overwhelmed by his passion for bakul and the work he does. I always had this feeling to do something, to contribute to the society in some little ways. I immediately nominated myself for the upcoming workshop for the OLS children. In the next few days or rather months I was involved with tree campaign, book distribution, awareness programs, etc. It was a great learning experience for me, meeting new people, going to places I never dreamt of like govt primary schools, OLS, etc. Till today whenever I see the trees(I hope they are still there ) planted at the nicco park-acharya vihar lane and  feel  proud. But this is just the start and the work has just began. I am really happy to be associated with the idea ‘bakul’ and I hope to contribute my bit in the near future.

I agree Life is tough,

But it all depends on your mental stuff,

self help books  lessen the effect,

But believe me it stays as long as you are with the set,

unnecessary

Writing poetry needs creativity

Expressing your thoughts needs ur gut

Even if I write something like this

I say at least I tried a bit

I am still confused what ma ambitions are

there is a feeeling its not too far

PR

i was about to leave

but she wanted me to speak

i went there with no intention to propose

but she expected the opposite i suppose

i told her i have other commitments

but she wouldnt agree to my sentiments

“its all destiny” I said

“you are a loser” She replied

i was in total anguish and pain

for she will never come back again

Post for the sake of it

Last six months were difficult to say the least. There were deep frustrations, anguish, disgust, head spinning thoughts, fruitless endeavors, huge mistakes, friends, parents, careers, money, satisfaction, brother’s concern, mother’s love, jealousy, core, software,mba,mtech and hell lot of talks talks talks about what went wrong what others did right what can be done what shouldn’t be repeated, invisibility, orkut, twitter, facebook, etc etc etc.

Of course there were things that kept me going those that made me feel wanted a silver lining a glimmer of hope- books, movies, bakul, jogging, basketball, swimming.

extra mile

by luck or by hard work it is that one extra mile that takes you from mediocrity to superiority. I never felt the need of putting in that desired effort to meet my end but now its like the more i try to push myself the more i go deep into the shell of lethargic attitude.

Smell of Winter

if season played a role in your life

this one is the best to make your strive

mind, body, soul all speak in the same breadth

there is no reason why i cannot come out of this dire strait

never mind

superficiality is the order of the day

hypocrisy is what helps it to stay

it does not matter how much one had tried or fought

i am what i am not

so is my mental state but still i will hang on

and look for ways to tread upon

I have been dealing with nothingness for the past three months mainly keeping busy myself by reading novels, watching movies and hell lot of brooding. There were times of extreme ecstasy specially when you complete a good novel but usually those moments were subdued by a tinge of frustration. But that small amount is more than sufficient to take my mind to the height of pessimism.

My friends say they are lucky because they cant find an ideal friend like me but i cannot say the same,

My parents say I am the ideal son that every parent yearn for but i can understand their hidden apprehensions,

My aspirations are too big but i have a bigger doubt on my ability,

My life has been a tremendous run untill now where it refuses to start,
