one of my earliest poems :)

LUCKY MANKIND

Asked the mortals to God,
"Oh! 'Mankind' why did you create
And made us suffer such a fate?
Pain, sorrow, selfishness everywhere
Worse than hell, we do swear!
Two eyes to see the wicked world and a microscopic brain
To think hard how to live; all efforts in vain,
What crime, God, what crime
Did mankind do to live in this time?
Eighty years of a miserable life, an aching head
One fine day announce a man dead!
Sympathizing him and remembering You
Feeling as if stamped by Your shoe,
What life is this, pray
Will You show we mortals our way?"

Answered God calmly,
"Oh my dear men, to be born is a boon
'cause life on earth's brighter than the moon
I've created you to rule the Universe
Even then you men simply curse.
To caress and rule over my other children
You’ve been created, my men.
Pain and sorrow are children of yours, not mine
My daughter is 'peace'; but you drank your wine
Killing her over the age.
Men, you put yourselves in the cage!
My mute children look up to you with loyalty
But your stony heart killed their prosperity.
Here, I send a purse full of 'goodwill'
Share it with all, let the 'peace' spill
In this world; making good these bad generations
You're lucky, mankind, the luckiest of all creations!

Long time! Im in Bioinformatics now

Oh my! its been such a long time since i blogged... hmmmm.. well dint have much to write and totally forgot abt this thing...
As of now, Ive got admission to one of my desired courses, MSc Bioinformatics in University of Pune. Well, I'm lucky in getting to experience all moments of 'away from home' and learning to live on my own here, at this stage of life.

I believe it is very essential for every individual to live some moments of his/her life outside the shelter of one's parental/ ancestral home.. ofcourse i mean before getting married.. It makes you learn a lot, builds in you confidence to take matters in your hands and improves your decision making and risk taking abilities.

Now something about my course: its very intensive and good. The system, unlike my previous University, places a huge importance on internal examinations.. which is very good in the sense, it gives an ultimatum to be prepared with your syllabus and studies at any point of time. However, it is very hectic too. As I'm writing this, a small amount of worry also goes into my upcoming tests for tomorrow!

For self motivation, I think this hectic schedule is in many ways beneficial, as it teaches you to handle stress over a given period of time.. This is a preparatory phase for any kind of nerve-wrecking task in future.

I'm facing hurdles and very healthy competition in class, as the cream of brains have been chosen all over India for this course. Many a times I have also felt useless and little less intelligent that what I thought I was. I'm working on all these negative thoughts to go away. If I think that Im capable, I might as well do the same things better than what Im doing! Im overcoming all these thoughts and have promised myself to do my best and put 100% of my efforts. Rest I leave it to destiny, wherever it takes.

I wish I could establish myself as a Bioinformatician in the coming years. My focus as of today is on Drug designing and development related to Pharma-Biotech fields. I do hope that I perform atleast up to my own expectations.

Bye.. catch up later when I have the time and topic to discuss.

Lazeeeeeee Lazeeeeeeeeeee

Oh, getting tooooooo lazeeeeee baby !!! Hmm, college will start next week, and I promise myself to have a gala time.
Saw my blog..........bechaara, its waiting for me to fill in something...... well, yeh, i got a topic, had been to Shirdi- Shani Shingnapur (holy plzs) last week. Awesome trip, man. We made the entire trip in just a day, by car.

Dan Brown & Sydney Sheldon

Finished Dan Brown’s ‘Deception Point’ and Sydney Sheldon’s ‘Sands of time’

Deception Point is a damn good piece of work. Amazingly rich depth of subjects like astrophysics, geology, politics, oceanography, etc. Real good one.

Sands of time has the good language and lucid thoughts, but frankly I feel Sheldon loves to make people believe that human beings always go with their basic instinct for sex no matter what the situation. A man meets a woman and they start craving…. Oh please, does that always happen??

The story is ok but we advanced primates are reasonable enough not to crave for sex with every individual of the opposite sex we come across.

Nevertheless, makes interesting reading.

Finished Web of Deceit

Woh, tht was a good one, though I feel the ending could have been better.... something like: the protagonists going home as a family....(now, many r gonna shoot from the lip for this one)

i know thts the same normal ending but its nice to read that something good happens after a lot of struggle. But a movie is a different thing: visually, even if the ending is unexpected (RGV style), watching is easier than reading; for most of us, that is. So, an ubrupt ending in films is much easier to take in than the books, I feel..... thats becos if a book is intersting, generally, i strain myself and don't toss it till I'm done.

I'm lucky ...?

We had gone to Westside store last week. There was this scheme that a mechandise will be displayed and you have to guess the price of the entire thing. If u r lucky, then u get coupons worth the price of the merchandise.
This time it was a salwar kameez set and a necklace. We figured the cost to be Rs. 1678. That was simple, we just looked for similar articles in the store, added up the cost and put it in the form.
There wd hav been a lucky draw or something and Bingo! today a guy called up asking for me. "Madam, u r the lucky winner. Congrats. Please collect ur vouchers worth Rs. 1678."

Phew! So, I'm lucky, eh?

Saw Hum Tum on SET Max

watched Hum Tum with family on SET Max. Long time since I watched an entire movie on TV.
cos its always like u switch channels, something interesting comes and u watch tht.
