Hustle

-
He did it all right, he tried it to his all might,
But he didn't win.
He would do what others would do never,
Had him put first to do a favour.
Still he couldn't win no one and nothing.
He got ecstatic when he saw a slightest of hope,
But when he didn't win, he could not cope. 
He chose the road he wanted to tread on, 
Who knew? It would make him doubt his own choice.
A life of toil was coming to him anyways,
Because for him, life never began ashore. 
He was in the middle of sea always!
After a point he got weary, 
Thoughts of his failures would make him teary.
But then also, he wouldn't deter,
He would buckle all over again.
And come back stronger and fitter.
Just to win once and for all!
After all, he was a Warrior!

Didn't we have fun?

I cried when I joined this college, I am crying when I am leaving it. I cried because I was leaving my parents to live alone, I am crying because I am leaving my friends who've become so dear to me. Few weeks more and college will be over once and for all. When some of my friends will be starting their new journey, I will be fighting with myself wondering 'How could it all end so soon.' Everything that I have experienced emotionally & career wise, I think I gave my best at it. I did what I could do for that matter. Besides I enjoyed a lot and had the ball in the times gone by, it was an awesome time indeed, perhaps the best so far. I thank God for everything, for showing me failures so that I could better myself and work upon my weaknesses, for giving me friends who made me see life beyond academics and much more. College? Oh! I can go on and on as there are so many memories. I've laughed; I've cried; I've been envious; I've been proud; I've seen a...

Dear God

  Dated: 14.08.2022, 00:29 Hrs. Dear God, For the past six months, I have been really ill at ease. I have no control on my thoughts. You already know what has been troubling me, I keep sharing with you almost on a daily basis. But God, you don’t seem to help me either. You see me every day, I talk to you about it. The person I am right now, I do not want to be no more. Why wouldn’t you dawn something on me? God? The things, I believed, were my strengths, have now become my biggest weaknesses. I have started doubting all the things I felt so strongly about. And to top it all, I am often comparing myself with others. It has only made me feel insecure and vulnerable. I get attached to people first and when they fall out, I can’t accept that people come and go, but life goes on. On the contrary, my life halts and can’t keep pace with the world and people.  People only see what they want to see. I see a bit too much. I have never known any better or worse. Why am I so...

Gareeb or not

-
I am ashutosh, your resident 'gareeb aadmi'; I call myself gareeb for a reason. For God's grace, I was born in decent to do family, had a decent upbringing, decent education and now I have a decent job. So I am comparatively very privileged in a country of 1.3 billion where hundreds of millions of people go to sleep on an empty stomach every day. I call myself gareeb for I feel gareeb not materialistically but emotionally. My 'gareebi' lies in my happiness and all my life I have believed that happiness is the scale to gauge one's gareebi and ameeri. And if happiness could be translated into currency, then I would surely be your resident gareeb aadmi.
