Let Go
Let go, Let it flow,run, have fun; Let go your heart Let it fear the dark Let it love the lark Let it free. Sate the satan of your soul Feed the flames of your desires Plunge down the precipice Create a world of your own device Forget the musts, indulge the wills; Feel the rush of the wind Feel the ground beneath your feet Feel the Freedom to feel. more...

Tagore
The tame bird was in a cage, the free bird was in the forest,They met when the time came, it was a decree of fate.The free bird cries,'O my love, let us fly to the wood.'The cage bird whispers, ' Come hither, let us both live in the cage.'Says the free bird,'Among bars ,where is the room to spread one's wings?''Alas',cries the cage bird,'I should n... more...

Combat Worthiness nay Effectiveness
Luv em Hate em but you just can't ignore em. Exams are an irrevoccable facet of our lives. Three years of toil expressed in three mere hours. No amount of reason can help me understand the futility of these much dreaded chores. I am itching to fight reservation, Arjun Singh and also ignorance ala Aamir. But what we really need to fight is this ince... more...

Enchanted
I have been a lifelong fan of Ayn Rand's and The Fountainhead has probably been the most influential book I have ever read. Maybe thats why or maybe because my dad's been building them all his life, I love buildings and before I discovered the fairer sex, a walk down the road was an exercise in structure watching.Howard Roark might disapprove, but ... more...

I Run
Slipping on my running shoes, I run; Through the place I learned to walk I run; By the gates I learned to speak I run; Past the place she held my hand, I run: Torn and tattered, by the waning strength of my limbs, I run; Zipping through the memory lanes, with zest I run; Bruised and battered, by the will of my soul I run; Knowing not - To or From, I run. more...

Nostalgia
Nostalgia - Feels like a hard hitting word.....so much at odds with the feelings that it tends to convey. Leaving my college and all my friends, the canteen, our block, every wall and every brick that partook our joys, our laughter, our shrieks of happiness tears at the strings of my heart. I vividly remember sitting at my usual last bench in B-Aud... more...

BhagatSingh's Atheism
The following are the excerpts of an excellent article about his atheism by Bhagatsinghji written during his last days. Message me if you want the full copy." 'Belief' softens the hardships, even can make them pleasant. In God man can find very strong consolation and support. Without Him, the man has to depend upon himself. To stand upon one's own ... more...

Physics and Music
Can we define music? Most of us may agree that it is bourn by a time series, jointly or independently, of amplitude, frequency and complexity, three fundamental well-known parameters used in physics. This time series is the objective reality, or the fictional reality of physics. But obviously all such time series pertaining to auditory sensation ar...  more...

Though the post has nothing to do with call centers but I felt compelled to write it.Who should be the next President?
