The story

 

Its about a boy

Who wanted to grow up

 

Its about a man

Who wanted to go back

 

Its about the dream

Which wanted to come true

 

Its about the whim

Which wanted to be a fantasy

 

Its about the sin

Which wanted to never be

 

Its about the taste

Which wanted to linger on

 

Its about the ship

Which wanted to sail on

 

Its about the star

Which wanted to shine

 

 

Its about a story

Which never wanted to end.

Death

Have I met u?

Have I seen u anywhere?

Have u been through this lane before?

Have I ever crossed your path before?

 

I Am Sure Of one thing though

 

We are good friends, aren't we?

 

Choices

are what we define them.

But do we have a choice

To choose the choice.

 

The Game

Run, Run, Run

Keep running behind the sun

Try catching it with the

End of the fingers, my son

Don't think of how it feels

Or how it would burn down

The moment u touch it

Just touch it.

----------------------------------

Keep running

Till the end of time.

Keep running

Till u can't climb

Keep running

And never should u whine

And wait for the

Last supper and the wine.

Staring from the death bed

U will find

All this while U were running,

Without knowing the finish line.

I don't know where my life is heading.

there..I said it.

I may seem as confident, and uncaring as the person next to me,
but now that I realize,
things do notusually end up the way they always do

and I am confused.

I am damn Confused.

--------------------------------

Try looking for yourself 10 years down the lane
Chances are,
U might not find yourself there
..except for a few maybe's....

thats for sure.

Memories so old
Memories from far
Memories from childhood
Memories to spare...

Cherish them u will
relish them u will
laugh at them u will
cry for them u will...

I was just someone like u
Who did not want to let go

...chrishing them
...relishing them
...laughing at them
...crying for them

I was a child
then I realized
to have stayed with them
..to have played with them

some things are beautiful
...some thing are enimga
some become your friends, some your foe
but then,
....u have to let go...
..u have to let go...

I let go.

---------------------------------------

Forward is the path
which us should follow
Backward is the gaze
which we must keep watch

But never should we stop
for then,
we stop.

Forever

Phase V to begin…

Its strange when a person, after coming to an age of 22, starts thinking about turning into a new leaf. Its exactly like a 10 year old thinking about trying to change himself because his mother just scolded him. And as it goes, Its just as difficult.

I have tried redefining my ways for a long time now. And as it goes, It has been a very slow process. That child still remains the same. Its just that the time, place, and reasons have changed. Now, he knows what is right and what is wrong. He also knows what is important to him and what is not. But self Doubt is something which has always crept up to him from behind. Although the path in front remains, The first step is something which is the most difficult. And well, the most consequential step. I know that the path is right. I also know what waits ahead of me in this path. I also know that time runs beside me, trying to overtake me…its just that, maybe, somewhere inside my mind, I don't WANT to give up this way of living which I have een following till now. No worries, No responsibility, No Deadlines, Nothing to care about…Believe me when I say I have been living like a king. The point is, I know it is not going to last much longer. And I don't wat to wait till till the balloon bursts.

I have always believed that life moves in Phases, And whatever happens, happens for a reason. Whatever happens, It takes us forward in a way and we keep evolving, and as most people say, we grow up. But shifting gears, moving from one phase to the other, is something which has always been a difficult thing for me. I never have moved on without nudge. Now, I guess, I have to do it without one.

Hmmm…

Someone had recently asked me here on my blog "what next". I guess I have answered my answer.

J

A strange week comes to an end. Another phase beginning? Or just an end…

I guess, I will find out.

Choreographing Life

Last few days were spent doing dramatics for my choreo team!. ANd,well..have to say those were one of the very few days when I actually had some fun in that 'wretched' Common room of ours.

The usage of 'wretched' here is complemented by the fact that i was the Secretory, Dramatics Sub-Committee, Nehru Hall Of Residence. I have nothing against the post and neither do i have any problems against the high standards they demand, but think of having a Daku and gunda as your hindi dramatics captains!!! Last year, I had to make the common room as my second home due to me being needed atleast 8 hrs minimum in the common room!!


So, coming back to the choreo, This was, as the judge commented, one of the best coreo teams she had ever seen. In her own words,"...U people should not waste your talent constraining yourself in IIT. I request u all to try for the National level. Please do not waste this talent here."

As has been the routine of the last 2 years since i have been associated with the dramatics in Nehru Hall, More halls, infact all the teams this time, tried to make their choreo look like Nehru halls by literally copying the steps and formations from the Nehru Hall choreo Video On DC++. I mean, consider this : A tall guy trying to imitate Chida as the school teacher and scolding a very bad replica of whoever was trying to play Sherpa's role, in his epic choreo against education.

But ours....as usual the newest and the strangest and the best idea of them all...as usual. COnsider this...16 people completed covered in Silver!!!(I call them my Silver surfers.)

Silver Surfers

Their entry on stage was BEEEEG!!! WIth Bhaatu playing the Devil as usual,Making the entry with the straps of each silver surfers in his each silver surfer in his hand while they acted as mad pets who kept trying to get hold of rajesh!

The Grand Entry

I, as usual was surprised when I was called in fora part in the team considering I was one of the worst dancers in the teamlast year. Ifact, so bad was I, That Sam Bose, My captin had once said," Maa kasam...aaj ke baad agar tum team mein rahaa to main nahi karoonga choreo!!"

I was the Evil business man who had to first, beat up the Shoodra, Rajesh out of his wits first..which i did to perfection) and then had to get a picture of mine with him...and a dance step!!...revolving a Big red cloth over my hed as i had to go around rajesh 4 times..and then run out of the stage before the music ends..that was it...But man...was it fun!!

Beating Rajesh Up with Abhigyan (reporter), and Soumen (Politician)

Giving job to the Shoodra

The second years were Fabulous..and the Hard work they put in was unbeliveable!! Hats of to my Second years except for the one who, tchnically speaking, should have been responisble for it...my dramatics secy, Nitin Garg. Man..I have to define new levels for Low Brain-capacity!!
Man..Dhanno had asked him to but the pack and give the cigerettes one by one to whoever askes for it as the pack was from the drams budget.thig guy was sent to get a pack of cigerettes at 10 PM and this guy, after being called repeatedly, was found preparing for his next-day test in Patel at 1:30. And the reason he gave was "Dhanno ne kahaa tha ki sutta khareedne ke aad apne paas rakhna..dena mat!!..to maine socha ki kisi ko dena nahi hai.Isiliye khareed ke main padhne chalaa gaya."

Anyways..The man who was responsible fot the spectacle, Siddarth Sherpa. This guy is true Genius. By looks, He is one of the juice in his batch and has a massive female contacts!!..and man..he can act..and dance..!! And how creative he is, is complemented byt he fact that he got calls from A, B and C from IIMs this time.

Bhaatu, Sherpa and Rajesh

And with this, we are very well on road for creating history in the IIT KGP social and cultural circuit, by making a first clean sweep ever. One event left (Inter Hall Hindi Dramatics) and we will have got 475 points out of 475 points...winning Gold in All the events of Dramatics cup.

U can find the whole album here :

Inter hall CHOREO Gold

interhall choreo nehru 2007

As has been the tradition, we, being the only hall to give the tempo shout inside the auditorium, again did it in fashion :

The famous Nehru Tempo-shout after choreo win

In the end..I leave u with this :

Next stop..the moon!!

P.S: I couldn't find a suitable title, so put a heavy one...nothing to do with high funda stuff like life, man...enjoiii.
