Scorching heat
Dripping brows
Sketching sheets of paper

What days of expression? When the medium was more important than the thought?

Today its just the thought that counts!!!

Re-birth

21st September 2006

Life takes a full circle today
That which was ash now finds a new forms today
A smile which i cannot see right now
But a laughter which i can hear within

Precious are moments of rebirth
When man finds a new motive to live
That you dont want to loose anything
Is what God chooses to give

The confusion ended today
It's a girl
She chooses to live a new life
and bring at halt - a prolonged whirl

I waited and waited
Patiently is not the word i would like to use
An anxiety to care of someone
and a sorrow of death - an abuse

There is so much to say
but so little are glasses of wine
by the time one gets over
i am never left with enough time


Dont worry dear
I am there with you
It's a feeling even i cannot explain
but i know - it's long due

I promise to care for you
all my life and living
every breath you take from now on
should not be less than an act of thanksgiving

Oh God...
Can i choose to promise to you today?
I think it is very difficult
because i always end up in the grey

There are no tears which can fill up an empty heart
An empty stomach we are all there for
A small smile that entered the realm today
pulls all of us out of the grey

It's time to rejoice
time to celebrate the rebirth
of one who moved many hearts
and one who recoined the word 'girth'

Congratulations
Rebirth

Birthday wishes....



Time of your Life

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road.
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go.
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why.
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind.
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time.
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

I hope you had the time of your life.

Welcome to the world of sunsets...



Welcome to the world of sunsets
A world on the other side of the horizon

Ever wondered whats waiting for you there?
Ever wondered who is looking for you there?

The sea is too deep
Land is too vast
As you stand here
Let the moment last!

"Angel & Demons"

The Dreamer...





The Dreamer never looks back
at the sun rising or setting behind me
He makes his own road
and lets the sun go down on him!

Get Well Soon Adi...





Get Well Soon
More importantly
Come back Soon

There is no way you can say a NO
Becoz we all need to grow
into individuals of strength
and an inherited current

You are the source of everything
to a group that we tried to bring
to a class we all studied in
like sheets of paper bound by a single pin

Come back Soon
cause there are things waiting for you
6 girls at LH2
and
prayers of our togetherness with you!

Testimonial for So Hail and Hearty !




Only half the face emerges out of the darkness
Only half the truth emerges out of his words

Rest is what means more to him
to us, to everyone who matters to him the most!

Biker friend...has chosen the right set of wheels to run the world over
Philosopher...has got the right words to win our hearts over
Companion...has held one's hand when one is falling over

Passion has poison hidden within it...drink it carefully
Victory always has a 's'tory missing in it...make your own story
Eyes rhyme with 'I'...they are U

Friend...you have been a rider of the waves
Jus remember -
"The car is You, You are the car!"

An ode to the shower...

Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge
Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha

Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen
Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen
Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen
Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen
Maine Socha Na Tha

Dil Ki Daali Pe Kaliyaan Si Khilne Lagin
Jab Nigaahein Nigaahon Se Milne Lagin
Dil Ki Daali Pe Kaliyaan Si Khilne Lagin
Jab Nigaahein Nigaahon Se Milne Lagin
Ek Din Is Tarah Hosh Kho Jayenge
Paas Aaye To Madhosh Ho Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha

Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge
Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha

Jagamagati Hui Jaagti Raat Hai
Raat Hai Ya Sitaaron Ki Barsaat Hai
Jagamagati Hui Jaagti Raat Hai
Raat Hai Ya Sitaaron Ki Barsaat Hai
Ek Din Dil Ki Raahon Mein Apne Liye
Jal Uthenge Mohabbat Ke Itne Diye
Maine Socha Na Tha

Ek Din Zindagi Itni Hogi Haseen
Jhoomega Aasmaan Gaayegi Ye Zameen
Maine Socha Na Tha

Ek Din Aap Yoon Humko Mil Jayenge
Phool Hi Phool Raahon Mein Khil Jayenge
Maine Socha Na Tha

Maine Socha Na Tha
Maine Socha Na Tha

A Salute to Samvada 2006 !


Samvada 2006 has been a success...what has been heartening to see the way TAPMI has gone about making a difference to the community at large...when i use the word community here,i simply dont mean the society, i am also refering to the Business community, the student community and many other aspects of our economy,which we find very difficult to relate to at many points in time.

OMEGA and TAPMIans have proved that there is nothing called as short-sightedness! There is more to everything that we do...which materialises into events like Samvada!

Kudos to the organisers...you make us proud!

This post comes not as a usual burst of jubiliation over the success of Samvada...but as an after-thought after reading OMEGA's email. What is Management Education all about? I think this email tells us all.

Choosing Mangalore SEZ over Dubai SEZ...everyone contributing to a bigger cause...why do we need societies and fora at TAPMI? Such an expression of commitment proves everything wrong! Thanks or no Thanks...some people still are the invisible hands behind everything...Management is a salute to them!

We learn alot from small things in life...its just that we often fail to use them in our own lives!

Lets strive towards learning to do that...and then,perhaps...i think its wrong now to say perhaps...surely, then we can make a difference in everything that we do!

Cheers.

Excerpt -

"A few months ago, we came up with an idea of conducting a grand event in Mangalore which would benefit entrepreneurs and students alike. At the time, the very thought seemed outrageous as no event conducted by our students had ever been held in Mangalore. To add to this, the challenges were many – the dearth of time on our hands, the source of funding for the event and the sheer scale at which it would have to be held. On the 9th of September, 2006 our dreams were finally realized and Samvada 2006 became a reality and a success.

Why have we declared it a success? One reason could be that since Samvada, many entrepreneurs who attended the meet have come up and requested TAPMI to do projects for them. But we mainly declare it so based on an incident that happened on the day. Midway through one of the presentations, an entrepreneur walked out of the hall and made a call to his boss that a few of us overheard. He told his boss that the event had shed light on the possibilities in Mangalore SEZ and that they should cancel their proposed investment in Dubai SEZ. That one incident justified the efforts that we had put into the event.

But Samvada 2006 would never have been possible without the support of a few people whom it is our pleasure to thank. First, a special thanks to Tanuj and Rahul Jain for the splendid job they did on our invitation and banners. We thank Megha, Ashwini, the junie PlaceCom members and all those involved at the registration desk. We thank Conrad, Bharat, Siddharth and Padmanabha for their help throughout the event. We also thank Amit Kopargaonkar and the members of Alumni Affairs committee for their help in contacting TAPMI alumni and for welcoming the guests. And how could an event possibly ever be conducted without the logistics support of the invisible hands, Durgaprasad and Aditya Aravind? This letter isn’t long enough to include the names of all who have been with us in this endeavor. We thank each and every one of those whose names haven’t been mentioned from the bottom of our hearts.


Regards,

OMEGA"

Alma Mater (An Overview)



Loyola School, Jamshedpur

Sorry

pardon me for that day
the day i made you cry
its been a pain to know
that i cannot even wipe a brow

keep smiling at the max
keep telling me the facts
of loving you and missing you
and everything i do not do

here i am
standing by your side
living the world as it comes
trying to swim against the tide

throw me the rope
so that i can cling on
you know i cant swim
and i dont have a dying song

there is pain in everything i do
there is a sorrow within
which fails to come out
and keeps me pricking

the thorn with the rose never ceases to hurt
although i tend to drown myself in Curt
come lie with me on my bed
long before i realise - I am dead!

GeNuInE

A Saturday night never seems to end
I move on from being
Comfortably Numb to being in High Hopes
There is nothing that can stop me now
I dream on
Something very big
Something very innate
Something noone has ever told me about
or will never ever do

I cannot choose between
she and her
they and them
me and myself

I am genuine!

Illusion has been broken

There is a sense of illusion
in everything i do
In the way i think and speak
in everything i brew

The light seems to have got me
in everything i agree
In the way i write and say
in everything i disagree

They see through the truth
in everything i do
In the way i manipulate
in everything i prove

I am naked
in all forms of perception
There is no more
respite in living in deception

Oh, dont look at me like that
there is nothing left in me
I feel scared to come out of the shadows
and even to stand up and flee

There was an illusion all this while
being broken and mended over and over again

The illusion has broken
And
I am naked again!

Life is in a mess...(ironically)

Summer Wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things

I walked in town on silver spurs that jingled to
A song that I had only sang to just a few
She saw my silver spurs and said lets pass some time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Ohhh-oh summer wine

My eyes grew heavy and my lips they could not speak
I tried to get up but I couldn't find my feet
She reassured me with an unfamiliar line
And then she gave to me more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

When I woke up the sun was shining in my eyes
My silver spurs were gone my head felt twice its size
She took my silver spurs a dollar and a dime
And left me cravin' for more summer wine
Ohh-oh-oh summer wine

Strawberries cherries and an angel's kiss in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things
Take off your silver spurs and help me pass the time
And I will give to you summer wine
Mmm-mm summer wine

I wish I could...

Dear Teacher,

As I walked down the aisle yesterday to take the award, I had no clue what I had done to deserve the same.

They call it the “Best Student Award”.

All these years, I had been thinking that you were mad at me. I remember once you dragged me down to the Principal’s Office to punish me for sketching you in class. I remember once you had made me kneel down in front of the entire class for an entire week as I had accidentally pushed a teacher while playing volleyball. I remember you had once thrown me out of the School Exhibition Team as I was unable to attend the meetings after class, due to my tuitions.

All these years, I had been thinking that you were mad at me!

I know I shouldn’t have sketched you during class. But your son told me the other day that you still treasure the sketch as one of your favorites! Yes, I pushed the teacher accidentally and she got hurt but why did she take extra classes for me in History when I couldn’t tell the difference between Jainism and Buddhism! And of course, our school won the Exhibition Contest – but you judged me into getting the Best Non-participating Entry for the contest!

I don’t understand a lot of things!

I heard there was a lot of competition for the award. Your favorite students were in the race too. I don’t think I deserved it.

What mattered to me most when you came down to me after the ceremony and said a ‘Sorry’ instead of ‘Congratulations’?! I think I was supposed to say that!

I think I always said ‘Sorry’ my way by doing well in your subjects!

Sorry Teacher for everything!

Thank you Teacher for everything!

And everything, in my case, is me!

I wish I could be your Best Student!

Yours,

Best Student


_____________________________________________________________________________


Dear Teacher,

I know you would be the last person who would want to remember me as a student in your class. After having done all the pranks that I could think of, I know you would have prayed day after day – ‘God, please make this student pass this year, so that I don’t have to suffer him again.’

Yes, I know you would have prayed that.

But I don’t understand.

Why did you tell my mother during the Parent’s Meet, that I am special? I never used to even pass in your tests! Why did you send me your lunch in the infirmary when I was not well? I ate that up in minutes! Why did you recommend me to get selected in the school basketball team, when you knew I would stop studying completely once that happens? I did do well there, didn’t I?

I don’t think I had left any stone unturned over making your life miserable in school.

But why would you always link me with the most beautiful girl in class so that I turn pink? Yes, I am married to her now! Did I say ‘Thank You’ to you?

I don’t think you ever noticed how much I hated you. You put my ‘Teacher’s Day’ card last in the pile of cards you received that day. I thought you never looked at it. You sent me for the Basketball match just before the Annual exams – to make sure I failed.

Yesterday, I got a card from you – in reply to ‘you-know-what’! I had no clue you remembered me all this while. And yes, I now play for my state in Basketball!

Sorry Teacher for everything!

Thank you Teacher for everything!

And everything, in my case, is me!

I wish I could be your Best Student!

Yours,

Best Student

The Std Deviation Dilemma

Monday, September 04, 2006

Thank You Teacher...

I was looking at the mirror
To see a reflection
Instead
I saw an image of perfection

I thought
Can this be me?

I have never thought this way
I have never looked this way
So how can that be?

Then it dawned on me
All my doubts begin to flee
It is the image of a TREE

That I have always wanted to climb
That has always given me the shade
That always given me the fruits

I thought
Can this be true?

Yes it is
It is YOU

Teacher
THANK YOU

Ink comes in many colours...

Yes...it is here!!
For all those who never liked to see my assignments on my blog...please find respite!

Welcome to my new blog...www.satyansanat.blogspot.com

Appropriately named...."Ink comes in many colours..."

From now on, all my so-called-not-so-interesting assignments will be a part of this blog. Since it is practically impossible to shift the previous posts from this blog to the other one, please bear with me on seeing some of my older blogs in "Nasty Santaa" in the Archives section.

But no new ones for sure....rest assured!

Happy reading....

The wheel moves on...


As the wheel moves on
rolling on the dust
there is a sense of satisfaction
there is still so much under the crust
The stones try to stop it
The winds tend to divert
I dont know why it still moves on
there is nothing left for me to convert
Relationships are reflections
of eyes and the mind
what one can see, the other fails to believe
and we love to go back in rewind
Thank you God
for letting me have this sight
I have tried to see beyond it
but have resulted in my own plight
There is no reason why i should still not continue to see
There is no reason why things can't stop at what they are now
There is no reason why i don't leave everything and run away
There is a reason
It is YOU!

Yesterday....

How i wish ... How i wish you were here ...


Wish you were here...

Me, Myself & ...
