Where should I go

OK guys this is the first poem I'm posting. I'm not good at this stuff but there's no harm in trying. Right?
Well, poems generally are complicated and all, but mine is much easier to understand. I guess I like to keep it simple :) . Anyway, I don't want people to ignore the poem just because they couldn't understand it (which I do all the time :P ).
So to start off with, I would like to quote 4 lines (written by me obviously).

I ain't a writer, 
but I do have thoughts running in my mind
I ain't a singer,
but I do hit some notes sometimes
I ain't a philosopher,
but I do have theories of my own
And 
I ain't a poet,
but I do have feelings touching my heart

And here it is, my first real poem: 

On the road i started,
I couldn't see the end
I didn't know the way
I didn't have an option to stay

So I began, never looked back
Went the way that felt would help,
But when I turned, I couldn't see the start
I still don't see the end
I'm stuck somewhere in between
Where should I go??

Going back takes me to the place where I truly belong 
Where life had a flavor
The flavor of freedom, innocence, being carefree
Where enjoying came before work
Where happiness came before responsibilities
The place where I can be me

Going further takes me to the place where I desire to be
Where life gets an opportunity
The opportunity to prove my talent, my capability
To get the Respect I deserve
Where I would be valued more than ever
The place where I want to be

What should I do?
Where should I go?

Me amongst People

I don't  know what has happened to people (including me). People act weird. People act desperate. People act over-confident. People act dumb. People just act like people.

My last line didn't make any sense to you, right? Let me try to explain. People tend to do what other people do. People tend to imitate and that's nothing new I'm speaking here (or rather writing here).

Then came FACEBOOK!
Facebook influences, touches, enlightens, irritates, impresses, inspires and makes you do what you normally won't do.
What power !!
People show their talent through Facebook, everybody does because that's what people do. They show-off. They want people to know them , like them, love them.

People write. Notes, Poems, Shayaris, Experiences, everything. People share videos. Playing guitar, singing, dancing, doing all cool stuff. People share awesome photos, creative photos, lively photos, depressed photos, black n white photos and all type of photos. People share thoughts that stir you from inside, that makes you think beyond your imagination.
People are great, talented, creative, intelligent. But then People are people.

My friend once uploaded a pic of my band - "The 5 Mistakes" and it got around 60 likes. It was an awesome pic,no doubt about that but i never did expect so many likes for a band's pic whose songs people have never listened to. I don't even remember anyone asking to upload an audio/video of our band. I don't think it was right. I am happy people like us but am not happy with the reason for which they do.
A friend of mine put up a status message on Facebook: " Jacqueline Fernandez !! :) " and he gets 50 likes for his status.
A beautiful girl puts up her picture. 100 likes.
People act desperate.

A person writes a beautiful, thoughtful quote. 8 likes. Someone puts up a very creative collage of himself in different expression. 10 likes only. Someone writes his heart out in the form of a shayari. 15 likes max.
People act dumb.

Why do people hesitate in appreciating the creative one ? Or they fail to understand him/her, Or is it that they just have a bad choice. I don't know.

I believe that every person is good. Good enough to fulfill his dreams. Good enough to stay happy. Good enough to keep everyone else happy. But people act weird. They knowingly waste their time. They have dreams but don't have the will, the dedication, the courage to fulfill them.

I have dreams. I have achievable dreams. Am I working towards them? Sort of. Will I make it. I don't know. Will I try?

Yes. I will.

P.S. 1) Ignore the overuse of the word "people" and understand the CONTENT!.
2) If you liked this post, you know what to do. Appreciate it :P

Thank You for Reading

To start off I'd like to tell you that you may not get to read my awesome stuff (written in a horrible manner) every time from now on because I have invited some of my friends to write for my blog and they are also officially, the contributors of my blog now and hopefully, very soon you will get to see posts by them also :)

Anyway, I was watching the movie "Thank You for Smoking" and i have to say it's quite a movie. I don't know what adjective to use here but some things are just awesome in it, especially a few lines. The beauty of an argument is that, if you argue correctly, you're never wrong... what a thought (Seriously think about it and if not, just watch the movie). The guy's job in the movie, basically, is to talk and he is payed like hell for that. It got me thinking, what in this world doesn't make a job. Let's see. Writing is a job, Reading is a job, Watching Movies/TV Series and reviewing them is a job, cooking is a job, writing mails is a job, for God's sake copy and paste is a job, everything you do can make a job. Then for God's sake, will someone tell me why did I study so much to get a job. I mean people get paid for writing blogs man !!! What the shit !!!
But engineering is awesome anyway :)

Well since the topic of job has come up, let me share a thought (more of a joke) that came up in my mind. Assume there are three guys interviewing for a job, first one is from arts background (A), second one from commerce (C) and third one, Science (S) .

First question asked by the interviewer: 5x4 is ??
A: thinks about it for a while then answers "Sir, not part of my job"
C: takes out his mobile, opens the calculator, calculates and answers "Sir, it's 20" (Does everything very quickly)
S: "Sir, depends on the base you are taking, for decimal it's 20 , for octal it's 24 and different for others" (For those of you who didn't understand, please don't try to)

Second question: How much time can you spend
A: "Sir, 6 hours a day"
C: "Sir, 8 hours a day"
S: "Sir, 6.5 days a week" the interviewer asks "remaining half day for ??" S replies "for bathing and sleeping"


Maarne mein bahut maza aata hai yaar. Science students are most welcome to add stuff here: commerce waalo ki maarne ke liye

This is a little bit exaggerated but truly speaking, I want to tell commerce and other branch guys one thing: "Get a life man!!"

P.S. I love engineering and every aspect about it. Title will get a little clear when you'll watch the movie.

Three in the Third

I was planning to write my third awesome post a little earlier than this but I have been a little unwell these days, thanks to all the junk food I had. But better late than never (I don't even know if this phrase fits here).
About a week back one of my very good friends congratulated me for almost a 200 page views of my blog and I happily accepted his well-wishes but the secret to it lies in the refresh button, whenever you press it, number of page views increases by one :P . I  might also have asked one of my friends to keep visiting my page whenever he/she comes online. (I know this might not be interesting but then it's my blog)

What I've been up to these days except being sick and taking rest is some reading, watching movies, TV, playing guitar and all the usual stuff, nothing awesome as such. But I did watch Delhi Belly. Shit happens, Shit happens every day but that day Shit happened like awesome!! A must watch for all youngsters, I know I'm not the first one to say this, it's all over facebook but still, personally, I never have enjoyed abusive words this much before. I also went to watch Transformers in 3D but came back when I got to know that they were charging Rs.50 extra for the 3D glasses but the thing that I didn't know was that it was refundable...lol :D

The thing that I'm proud of is that I have started reading and even started liking it. Believe it or not I read 3 Novels in these vacations !!! OK it might not sound as exciting as I want it to but the fact that in my past 20 years I read 3 novels and in the last 2 weeks also I read 3 novels, trust me it feels like an achievement.
But I may add here that 2 out of the 3 were by IITians and 3rd one by another software engineer. To all those who feel it has become a trend for IITians to write a novel, I would like to tell them that these IITians are the ones who have got me interested in reading novels, inspired me and I would like to thank them a lot for that.
The 3 novels with my favorite 2 lines are:

1) Oops...I fell in love -Harsh Snehanshu
The boyish tendency can't be conquered, since any attractive girl would still attract me .(I wonder if it's true for girls)

2) I too had a love story - Ravinder Singh
Tere jaane ka asar kuch aisa hua mujh par 
tujhe dhoondte dhoondte, maine khud ko paa liya
(Just loved it)


3) Dreams in Prussian Blue - Paritosh Uttam
Anything that goes on forever and forever, where time has no meaning, makes me sad.
(Got me thinking)

Do read them if you get time :) and the novel too :P

P.S: I could not come up with an appropriate title hence the above :P
