A Missing Night


.


I saw the water-drops, crawling
down the panes of window
and I guess it was raining,
like tears shed from the eyes of a widow.


Dogs were barking out on the road,
it was merely the dark silence everywhere that glowed.
But, moon felt proud
as it raged against a cloud.


Have you seen a bat ?
Well, they were sprinting out there;
and the angry wind was howling,
describing itself bizarre.


The clock ticked and tucked
asking me to give
the FIEND SILENCE a hug.


The warmth that I got, out of it,
scorched my healthy skin.
My arm chair propped up in time
thereby helping me
to lean.


I called a search,
for the thought that was
disturbing me.
But was hard to trap it, as it was
dangling around like a bee.


Was petrified and terrified
by the sounds I heard.
It were rather my friends' memories
who were coaxing me to give
them a Rebirth.


So they were the ones
who made me fear
and freaky.
I was delighted to know,
that it was so tricky.


My college vaccctions were ON,
a cause of my drop at the house,
and the masti time, all gone
like separation occuring between
two spouse.


Well I enjoyed
the taste
and the love,
I got at home.
But soon the monotony,
the bitter one,
had grown.


I remembered
how we used to study late
in the night
after having, in our canteen,
a delicious bite.


I admired the thoughts,
which were speaking of my dance.
That I used to did,
on some birthdays, by chance.


Only this much ?
Oh no !
Without having any shame
my thoughts told me
more :


How we cheated the studious ones
by photocopying their notes
and then studying just before the exams
to achieve our goals.
Only in our underwear
the way we marched
in the night
and then under the water shower
called a beautiful fight.


How we hooted in the class
on the girls with our bad intents
but only on the ones who were smart
as they slog to pretend.
And the way we played Counter-Strike
with our minds trapped in craze
abusing the opponents
in the most hideous ways.


So 'the thought' painted a smile
on my face,
and my body fainted for a while
& dropped on the bed
with a grace.


In this way my mind
won the dark night
and I, on the bed, tried to
sleep with all might.


Next day, my mother asked me
"Son, is their any problem inside ?"
to which I, politely, replied,
"Nothing maa, I merely had A Missing Night."





Race for entry

So, the trauma ends. The 12th board exams are over ! Now what ?

Well the topic squeaks all. Now most of you would now grope your way towards a good college or rather your dream col. Yes, it is this time only when you come to recognize about your indecisive behaviour. Doesn't matter, it happens with most of us. Whilst most of the competetive exams have got over (at least the leading ones) the parents along with their 12pass outs must now be trying to reveal the veritable truth about the cols in which they want their siblings to study.

Although, Amir Khan initiated, rather succeeded to speak fervently, through his two films, 'The 3 Idiots' & 'Taare Zameen Par' , the genuine truth : 'Study what YOU want', 'Crave for the knowledge that can give life to YOUR DREAM'; but its effect was not protracted.

Why ? Well i think it is well answered by most of the indian students. Most of us are still buried deep in the ground disguised by the weight of the MONUMENT named 'The Indian Education System'. Most of us ('Most' not 'All') do what our parents have decided for us (dont take in a negative sense). I only suggest to please stop whimpering. These factors are crucial when one thinks for a carrier of his/her dream.

This blog is just an attempt to make the pass outs realise that their vision of future is vital and to guide a student, in a broad sense, to clear the doubts of most who are gonna enrol for admissions in the NITs, IITs and other leading institutes in this field. Be free to ask. Infact, despite so many suggestions (given by the elders who surround us), the travesty still overlooks all the latter points. What i can attempt for is to just tell you, if your decision to go for a branch in a particular col, will provide you what you have desired for, then you must head towards it, no matter what the world says.

Please, Please, Please, try to look upon your interest, try to foresee the outcome with which you'll stand after your graduation. The bizarre environment that I see is that most of the freshers just take a col/a branch by merely calculating precisely the return they are gonna get after 4 or 5yrs of their father's investment.

C'mon yaar, be sensible. How can you live a life for only MONEY. This is really miraculous, rather a mirthful decision, which most of the freshers are undertaking. Try to see the narrow slice of happiness, beyod money, which you'll get by DOING WHAT YOU WANT.
