A Man who was a Boy

I laugh, I cry;
I squirm, I shy;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I try, I fly;
I struggle, I enjoy;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I loved, I obsessed;
I hated, I bled;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I eat, I drink;
I sleep, I wink;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

Iam angry, Im sad;
Im aloof, Im Bad;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I win, I lose;
I cry, I chose;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I regret, I curse;
I form Opinions, I burst;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I played, I made;
I craved, I stayed;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I flirted, I danced;
I smiled, I glanced;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I loved her, I wished her;
I enjoyed her, I respected her;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

I came, I conquered;
I lost, I pondered;
That was when I was a BOY
Now I am a MAN

25 years over, quarter life ends
The Boy is dead and the Man is in

Confessions of a confused mind !

Since past few weeks confusion has become my middle name. My own behaviour has become hard to comprehend for myself. I have become far too despondent and far too quite for my own liking. The recent run of events have not helped either. These are some of the incidents and events which has left my mind confused, anxious etc etc

Confusion 1:: What can I do?
The Mumbai attacks have somewhere down in my subconscious mind has left a big scar. I want to do something for my city, for my country but do not know what to do. I feel like a helpless asshole, akin to a child in a striptease club.

Confusion 2: Am I not Employable?
Placement season has commenced in my institute and with due respect to my batchmates who have been placed, I genuinely feel I should have been placed by this time. Although only 20% batch has been placed, I believe my name should have been there, but the wait has just increased. It is a test of patience for a man not known for being patient.

Confusion 3: Does friendship last the distance?
Three of my good friends have just got married and a couple of them will be getting soon. Iam elated and really happy for them but I also know for the fact that I wont get too much time to spend with these friends. Two of the three are female friends and it makes all the more difficult for me to even meet them. Life changes after marriage with added responsibility and friends may not occupy important place in that life. Will it be difficult to maintain old friendships after marriage, I wonder?

Confusion 4: What is the purpose of my life?
I realize for the fact that everything is ephemeral in life. We study hard to get a good job, work hard to get a good salary and eventually a good spouse, love to get love in return. We buy the best of clothes to look good and make an impression, buy the best house to have a comfortable life.

We want wealth, we work day and night to earn, earn and earn more. Then one day death comes and we depart naked from this earth and whatever wealth we have acquired we leave it for someone who has never worked for it.

We study to gain knowledge, to gain intelligence so that world thinks that we are next Einstein in making, so that companies can hire us based on our so called knowledge and intelligence and what happens after some years, both wise man and fool wind up in grave before both are forgotten.

We love with all our passion and might so that we get love in return and we do get it in some cases. After some years both the lovers bite the dust and return to the mother earth. Do love stories live forever?

So why have we come to this earth, when everything one day will be destroyed and long forgotten. I am hoping that I get my answers sooner than later. Till then Iam trying to enjoy my confusions, atleast my mind is thinking !!!!

Me Mumbaikar: Proud to be an Indian

The recent run of events, the ghastly acts of terrorism, the incessant firing has not only left me but the entire nation in a state of shock. If 2006 was bad, 2008 has been worst. 60 hours of fighting nonstop, it cant get worst than this. The violence shown for those 4 days was ineffable.

Iam a hard core mumbaikar, born and bought up in this wonderful city, the city of dreams, but alas it has become a city vulnerable to terrorists. Even words wont be enough to loath these terrorists, who claim they are fighting for their religion, but no religion in this world teaches to kill innocent people. These people do not belong to any religion. They cannot be muslims, because they are devils.

The horrific scene on the streets of colaba and Gate way of India has left me numb. I have been to this place so many times, and just to see a bunch of terrorists attacking my city, my country makes me feel that time has come for action. The so called leaders of our nation our politicians are completely inept and incapabale of doing anything concrete. Mr raj thackerey, who made hue and cry about north Indians, where has he gone now? The commandos, the navy, the NSG had people from north India too. Had these men refused to come to Mumbai what would have happened? Why did not raj issue diktat to stop these men from entering Mumbai, they were also form north India. That man can only speak and instigate innocent people but when time comes he will be the first one to hide. That is a sign of a coward and not a leader. Raj says he is a true mumbaikar, where the hell are you now? Mr raj, you and your bunch of followers are nothing but a bunch of cowards who can show their power to innocent people and the run away like cowards when the time comes. This is also true for other politicians, who just say and do nothing. Indian politics at its worst.

Iam a proud mumbaikar, but Im fed up of this nonsense, how long we will suffer? Sometimes people from Shiv sena and now mns terrorise the common man, they declare bandh in Mumbai, as if Mumbai is their father’s property, spread hatredness among people just for some votes and sometimes its the terrorists. Once these politicians are stripped of the security they get then they will realize what is it to live a life of a common man on the street.

Guys this is our city, our lovely city, and if we don’t save it, who will. If the politicians have some soul left in them, they will unite with the common man and be rest assured once that happens no one can ever touch Mumbai. These terrorists take advantage because we are not united, we are not prepared, just waste time in dirty and petty politics of north and south India, without realizing we are just one. God never made a difference when he created mankind. He has given everybody 2 legs, 2 hands, 2 eyes, red blood etc etc. Then when the creator does not make any differences who are these politicians to label someone as good or bad, what right they have to pass judgements about people or their religions, surely the bad will be punished, but what are these inept leaders doing by being prejudiced.

I request all the Indians to get united and face up the challenge that lie ahead. Once we are united, prepared, these idiots (terrorists) cannot even touch us. Anti terror laws have to become more stringent and there should be compulsory military training for the youth. It’s time for action folks, lets stand up and be counted so that tomorrow when we step out of house, we can held our head high and move without fear. Let the brave new world of change, peace and prosperity usher in. Inshallah

If Only - Part 2

Ajay still looked at the flower that had fallen on his head some years back when he was praying in the temple. He had realized that he had got his message. Sometimes nature has strange ways to tell you things and only intelligence and a belief in God can make you decode them.
He opened the letter Nazia had sent him some years back.
Dear Ajay
“ I really don’t know what to say. I sometimes feel Iam the most unfortunate woman on this earth. Your love for me was something that only happens in fairy tales. I also love you alot Ajay. But life has some different plans for me I guess. I have divorced my husband and we no longer stay together, but I have two kids who are my life for me now. Life is sometimes an ordeal when there is no man in your life but you have live with that. My kids are my source of inspiration and strength and Iam living only because of them. You know Ajay I have made two big mistakes of my life, 1: saying to No to you and 2: marrying a wrong guy. Pranav initially was a nice guy but soon after marriage he changed, he used to beat me at the slightest provocation, he was not doing well at his job and I had to bear the brunt of all his anger. I could not see my kids also undergoing the same life, so I had to leave him. I have started my boutique here and doing financially pretty well.

Sometimes I really feel what my life would have been if I were with you. I still remember during the initial days of our friendship, I used to call everyday and you never even once told me not to call, the rings you used give at my home so that I can call you back, the late night phone calls, that was so much fun. I still have the letters you gave when you had proposed me, the arrangement you had done on my birthday. That was the best birthday I had ever. Life was so much fun when you were around. That was a different life altogether. Sometimes we make such terrible mistakes for which we repent for the rest of our lives. Iam glad you have quit smoking and drinking. But I am making a humble request to you to please get married. You are a wonderful guy and don’t deprive yourself this bliss. I can tell you for sure whichever girl comes into your life will be very lucky. I wish I could come to India and get remarried to you but I think you deserve someone better than me, someone who will understand you which I failed to do. Just for my sake get married Ajay, I know you love me and so do I, but I also know your love wont change for me if you get married to some one else. Do not punish yourself because of me. Sometimes destiny plays its role and we have to accept it. You will always occupy a special place in my heart. Someday when I come back to India we will meet up and hopefully by that time you will have a beautiful wife and some kids. I don’t know if I will be able to write a letter again to you, so do not forget me Ajay, I am missing you alot; and whenever you get married just make sure to inform me so that I can tell your wife what a wonderful guy you are and how lucky she is to have him. Take care and God bless!!”

He was 45 now and still a bachelor. People had persuaded him to get married, but the thoughts of being with another woman just did not appeal to him. Ajay had all the comforts the world could offer, but his love for Nazia had not diminished 1 bit. All these years he used to observe Ramzan by keeping fast for 30 days and pray for his love with all devotion he had so that she experienced happiness at each step of her life, even at the cost depriving himself one.
His hands now moved over the areas of the letter which had been once wet with his tears, now dried with time. In the last 18 years, he had lost many things in life. What he did not lose was this letter. Her first and last letter to him. Her letter that he had read everyday like a bible for the last 18 years without fail.

If only...

7 years, 6 months and 21 days had passed since last time Ajay met with Nazia and 3 years 10 days had passed since he last spoke with her. Ajay marvelled at his talent of remembering dates and that too so specific. That evening, the cold January breeze was blowing across his face, and he remembered the moments he had spent with nazia. He became very nostalgic about her. So he decided to write a letter to her.

“Dear Nazia,
How are you doing??? How is USA treating you? Well I know that I haven’t spoken to you since 3 years, and you as usual never tried to call up. Remember the day we had first met in the train and you for strange reasons came beside me and sat and we chatted the whole night and you kept on repeating that Im such a different guy...Well you will happy to know that I have left drinking and smoking . Also I have kept another promise which i made to you, I am still single, I did not marry. The entire world told me to forget you and move on in life, but I asked them to move where?? They told me not to remember you , but is it possible to forget breathing?? Nazia , it is not that I could not find another girl but I could not stop loving you so where is the question of loving someone else. You only knew that I loved you but today I will tell you about my feelings. Still today thinking about you fills my heart with a wonderful feeling. Just the moments I shared with you I realized what a beautiful thing the love can be. I am always indebted to you because of you I realized what love is....
Nazia if you have ever loved anyone with the kind of passion and commitment I did, you will realize what I went through when you said NO to me, You are far away from me, but let me assure you 1 thing that no distance is too great because our memories will live along, and You and I will live in each other’s dream till death do us apart.
Regards
Ajay”

Tears came down from her eyes after she read the letter. She realized that IF ONLY she had understood his love for her, which was so pure and without any expectation. The divorce date was nearing and within 1 month she will be separated from her husband. It was only a year that she had married the love of her life. She looked up in heaven, closed her eyes, but could not control her tears and uttered “GOD bless u Ajay, I Love you too.......” At the same moment while Ajay was praying in the temple, a flower fell on his head and his unconditional LOVE had won.

The Year that was and the year that will be at IMT Nagpur

March 28 2008 marked the end of my first year at IMT Nagpur. I have to admit one thing without using over the top adjective that it was a very interesting year. During this past 1 year saw both ups and downs, happiness n sadness both personally n professionally. I have also learnt that MBA is not only about finance or marketing or HR. The 2 year residential program at IMT has taught me lot of things, things which I wouldn’t have learnt otherwise. Some of them are:
Lesson number 1: Too much stress is harmful.
Lesson number 2: Do not be too nice to everyone. Not everybody deserves your time and effort; spend your time and effort only with people who are worth.
Lesson number 3: Control your anger; or else you may end up hurting someone
Lesson number 4: Communicate, say whatever u want to say clearly n frankly...it’s important to make yourself heard
Lesson 5: Give up your ego....it is nothing but an illusion you have
Lesson 6: Have patience, people will always find ways to irritate you and do not take everything they say to your heart; it pays to be aloof sometimes.
Lesson 6: Take criticism with a pinch of salt....I realized 1 thing when people criticize u, it means u are progressing, u r being noticed isn’t it? Nobody kicks a dead dog. And when it is constructive criticism, analyse it and work on it. It will help.
So much so for the 1st year lessons that I learnt

Now Second year has got underway and specialization courses have also got underway. In about 3 months from now, placement week will start. Campus will be buzzing with all sorts of companies coming, some students will have a good time, some wont, but it will be a once in a lifetime experience for all.

On March 4, 2009 the batch of 2007-09 will graduate from IMT Nagpur and life will never be the same for each and every one of us after that. Some will go abroad, some will go to their hometowns, some will get married, some will start their own business, but whatever it is nobody will ever forget the 2 years they spent at IMT Nagpur, the happiness they experienced, the friends they made, the girls/guys they had crush on, the lonely times they spent on campus, the fight they had on trivial things, the affairs they had, the assignments they did at 2 am, the night walks they took, the birthdaybumps they got, the professors they adored, the places they visited etc. Probably 20 years down the line sitting in a balcony we all will be telling our families about all the things we did here at IMT.

After some years when we will have an alumni meet we might come with our family for the meet, we will laugh at absurd things we did, we will meet the girl/guy whom we had crush on and introduce them to our respective spouse, meet the professors who shaped our life, the canteen guys who helped us stay awake by providing us tea and coffee, say hello to our once close pals and inquire about each other’s life, exchange numbers and then go back home with a smile on our face, by remembering those moments we all shared together, because moments become memories and these will live with us forever because memories make a journey called LIFE!!!!!!

Confessions of a egalitarian mind

What do you do when the majority of world abhors you, what do you do when people look at you with a sense of suspicion, what you do when the people of your community are labeled as a bunch of terrorist? Well welcome to the world of prejudice. Through this post with reference to the Muslim community I want to confess a lot many things.I have taken this community as an example for highlighting the disease called prejudice people have for different things and for different people.

More than 90% of terrorist attacks in the recent years have been done by Muslims which is nothing new, we all are aware of that. What baffles me that people have invented a synonym for Muslim i.e. terrorist. It is because of some miscreants the entire community stands to suffer. This has resulted that people of this community are always under suspicion. The actions of these people are making the entire community to suffer and bleed.Some hardcore Islamic fundamentalist believe that Islam is the greatest religion. I loathe them for that because through the medium of religion they are spreading hatredness by condemning other religions and doing a great disservice to their own community. No religion is great or better than the other. Religion according to me is the road map to reach a common destination i.e. God, each having its own rules but to think that 1 religion is better than the other is a very preposterous thought. Goal is one; methods to reach Him are different.

We are living in a secular country where we pride ourselves to be secular aint it? many of us are educated, but in which standard of school or college have we been taught that one has to hate 1 community in totality for wrong doings of others. Not many people abhor this community openly, but trust me there are whispers of hatredness against them at all the time. I have personally known cases where Muslims were not allowed to buy flats in buildings which were Hindu dominated, and I have rarely come across Hindu-Muslim marriages. The suspicion is always hanging there unconsciously which makes it even more difficult to build trust.

God never made a difference when he created mankind. He has given everybody 2 legs, 2 hands, 2 eyes, red blood etc etc. Then when the creator does not make any differences who are we to label someone as good or bad, what right we have to pass judgements about people or their religions, surely the bad will be punished, but what are we doing by being prejudiced.Hatredness only breeds contempt, and world will continue to become much worse place than what it is now. Even animals and birds do not differentiate and we supposedly intellectuals are worst than them inspite of having the God given gift of brains.

Just give a thought to this:u were born in a particular community, your family is extremely religious, everybody in your family has a clean record and someday somebody treats you shabbily or calls you a terrorist for no fault of yours how would you feel? People we are children of 1 God, let us make Him proud of that and not make Him repent for something which is not even His fault. Let there be no prejudiced around. Let us stand united not just superficially but in a real sense of it and Inshallah tomorrow this world will be a better place to live in!!!!

Sex Education: There is nothing sexy about it

Some adults will never grow up. They still think that providing sex education to the children or teenagers of today is against the Indian culture. I never knew that imparting education is against the culture. Every second day we are hearing about someone getting raped or molested.

We all are missing a big point here. The world has shrunk because of internet and whatever the information these kids want they can easily get from the internet. India has become a haven for Aids and these so called intellectual adults want that sex education should be banned, have these people become deaf and blind to the world around them? Why are we trying to avoid a subject which is so relevant to atleast our country which has a population of 1billion plus? It clearly shows that apart from eating, sleeping and breathing we are having irresponsible sex, else our population would not be increasing the way oil prices are increasing nowadays.

There was a research done by one of the NGO’s in India which stated that the average age of girls starting menstruation has come down from 15 years to 13years which clearly shows that the kids are growing really fast and it is imperative that they are provided the right education at the right age. There is no point in avoiding imparting sex education because the teenagers will find out for themselves the information they want but the problem is that information can misguide them and lead to a bigger social issues like unwanted pregnancy, rape, murder etc.

It is preposterous to think that sex education will harm the young minds, infact a good sex education is not only about sessions on sexual intercourse or how a girl/guy masturbates and neither it is all about the genital differences, but host of other issues that involve human sexuality like respect for the opposite sex, understanding your own body and being comfortable with it rather cursing it, having a high self esteem and healthy interaction with the opposite sex and treating everyone with dignity.

Sex is physical but sexuality is about the mind. Sex education is about empowering the kids with right values so that they know the difference between what is good for them and what is not , so that a brave new world is born which consists of trust, care, respect and harmony among the members of both the sex. Let better sense prevail among the so called intellectuals aka hypocrites who are against it, Amen!!

The Year that was- Time to acknowledge

March 28, 2008 marked the end of my first year at Imt Nagpur. I have to admit one thing without using over the top adjective that it was a very interesting year. During this past 1 year saw both ups and downs, happiness n sadness both personally n professionally. I have learnt some important lessons.

Lesson number 1: Too much stress is harmful. I realized that when in my i had a stroke of blood pressure for the first time in 24 years. Guys nothing is more important than ur own health. Take care of that and everything else will fall in place.

Lesson number 2: Don’t be too nice to everyone. Not everybody deserves your time and effort, spend your time and effort only with people who are worth.

Lesson number 3: Control your anger; or else you may end up hurting someone

Lesson number 4: Communicate, say whatever u want to say clearly n frankly...its important to make yourself heard

Lesson number 5: Give up your ego....its nothing but an illusion u have.

Lesson 6: take criticism with a pinch of salt....i realized 1 thing when people criticize u, it means u r progressing, u r being noticed isn’t it? Nobody kicks a dead dog. And when it is constructive criticism, analyse it and work on it. It will help.

Samson, Lancy, Ajay,Durgesh,Deepak, Aarti(My ICICI friends): These guys were like guiding light to me throughout my days at ICICI. Sam, lancy, ajay, deepak they all adviced as to how go about my work, how to handle people at work and much more. We all had a blast of a time and my own attitude towards work was shaped by these guys. In a corporate world where people are after your ass to get that much coveted promotion, these people always supported me in whatever I did. Can't imagine what my life would have been in ICICI if these guys were not around. Thanks Guys, u really rock. Aarti, we joined together at ICICI and till date we are in touch, a kid by nature but sometimes can speak in a very mature manner. We keep on advising each other on how to handle life, but cant manage our own life. Thanks dear for being there.

I wish to thank my parents for being a constant support to me and no matter how much i care for them i will always be indebted to them. And last but not da least My God wid out whom this journey of life wouldn’t have been possible, He cant come down but He has sent some angels down here to take care of me.....

Life and times of 20 something: Quarter life crisis

So many thoughts clouding the mind, so much to do and achieve, so much to prove, so much to earn, but heck for what??? Whom do I have prove to? What I have to do? Why I need to earn so much?

We all are burdened with these questions specially people in their twenties. It is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn't know and may not like. You start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. Life cannot get more confusing than this.

You want to bring change in this world but do not know from where to start and leave the mission half way. The people whom you considered close were not really close and distance grew with people whom you were close to. You realize that selfishness has become the order of the day and believe it or not you are also one among them.

The girl/guy you loved wasn’t exactly the person you were looking for. One day you get into a relationship and other day you get confused whether your step was right or wrong. Soon you start liking someone else and then someone else and you wonder is it right to like so many people at the same time??

You lie in bed and wonder why you can't meet someone with whom you can share your dreams, your desires and your life in general. Getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. You go through the same emotions and questions over and over again, and talk with your friends about the same topics and seek different opinions because you cannot seem to make a decision. You worry about money, the future and making a life for yourself.

You think that you have reached a crossroad of some sort and don’t know what should be your next step. You are among the crowd but still feel lonely, scared and confused and cry like a child over a non issue. You don’t know which direction life is taking you. Suddenly, change is the enemy and you try and cling on to the past with dear life, but soon realize that the past is drifting further and further away, and there is nothing to do but stay where you are or move forward.

To conclude life seems pretty messed up but every problem has a solution and probably this phase of our life will teach us something and someday we will be able to find a solution to our quarter life crisis. Till then enjoy this confusion because this phase is temporary and when you become a 30 something you would imagine that being confused is better than being so sure!!!!!

P.S. The above blog is inspired from my confusion which I am facing since past few months, no wait a minute, its past few years and also from one of the email I had sometime back from my friend titled "Confusions of Life" .

True Love: Make it happen

The month of Love is here which has inspired me to write about love. I am not an expert on love by any stretch of imagination, but thought of sharing my views with my readers. I have always wondered does true love really exits in today’ s fast paced world? People change their lovers faster than changing their clothes. When people propose their love, how many actually mean it what they are saying...I have my serious doubts. Many may think that I am just being cynical of love or probably I really don’t know what love is all about, but just look around, hardly anyone nowadays is into a stable relationship, divorce rates are at a all time high in our country.

Life is moving fast, everyone now wants instant relationship, just like instant coffee. People are enamoured towards lust rather than love. The word ‘Commitment’ has gone out of this world. Valentine day is celebrated to celebrate love, but the same people who were ‘committed’ to each other on 14 Feb of a particular year, you will see them in someone else’s arms the next year...so much for a true love.

True love never happens instantaneously, just like any other success we achieve, it requires time, patience and commitment. True love is success of life. It gives meaning to our life, it alleviates our pain, it makes the world around us ever so beautiful. In true love the lover and the beloved are one. The sense of your own identity and individuality vanishes. The other, therefore, does not place a limit on the lover’s freedom; rather, communion with the beloved leads to unbound freedom. It frees us from limits imposed on us by our ego. My advice to all those people who are in love, guys make your love a true love, because love alone as a word has no meaning nowadays, give it time, don’t leave your partner for some petty issues, make your relationship work, life will test you at each step, but treat it as a learning curve, because when you will be facing moments of self doubt, your true love will give you strength to overcome it, God could not come down to this earth, but he has given all of us a power, a power to experience HIM through the medium of true love, love your other half(it may be your wife, your girlfriend, your boyfriend, or your husband) unconditionally and with all your energy and you will experience HIM its a guarantee!!!

Build your Life: You live once!!!!

So many choices, so much to achieve, so much to say, so much to do and only 1 life....Phew!!!!!! This blog is dedicated to those souls who have met with disappointments in some form or the other, like failed relationship, marriages, bad job, defeats when you wanted to win and list goes on. Infact we all undergo emotions of anger, guilt, jealousy, hatred, etc.

When we fail in love or we are rejected, Just remember there exists a subtle difference between holding hands and actually loving someone and love doesn’t mean you have to be depended on someone and company of that special someone doesn’t give you security against anything. Kisses are never meant to be contracts and presents are not promises of a future commitment.

Failures, rejections are part and parcel of life, the important thing is you need to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not with the grief of a child because life is meant to be lived to the fullest. You have to learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans. After a while you will learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So people plant your own garden and decorate your own soul,instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers, because everyone is nowadays busy in their own life.

So people in a nutshell, Just for today smile, just for today spread happiness, just for today tell your loved ones how much you love them, just for today dream, just for today tell your parents how much you love them, just for today tell your spouse that she/he is the best wife/husband on this earth, just for today tell your friends how much they mean to you and how lucky you are to have them in your life, just for today forgive those who have hurt and broken your heart, just for today pray to Almighty and thank Him for giving this beautiful life, just for today spread Love and happiness around you, just for today live your life once again and forget all your disappointments and failures, Don’t lose this opportunity, who knows when will inexorable death come and take you away!!!!!
