  "Traveller of the silent dawn, fix not thine eyes upon that which glitters alone, for the mirror deceives and the mask may wear the face of truth.   Let not thy judgement be fettered by the gauntlet of old-customs, nor thy spirit confined to the realm of the known. Embrace the new tide that swells beyond thy shores, for stagnation is the hollowness of the undying.   Dare to wander, dare to dream, and let thy blase cleave the veil of certainty. There shall thou find renewal and freedom. Given time, technique never fails. Be safe, friend. Don't you dare go hollow..."                                                                                                      ...

 One Man's Dream Those fleeting moments, Those faint lights and voices, That reach us across time, Of our loved ones, Of our friends and foes, of those whom we lost to time, Of us, Our laughter, our cries, Our exhaustion, fatigue, and exasperation, The words of comfort from our mother, hope from our dad, Strength from our kith and kin, Its there; Always reaching us, Like starlight at dark nights, Like a distant note of music, A song whose meaning is indecipherable to others, Except you, Your life, your time, your memories, So close yet so far So colorful yet so faded, Its all there, behind us, beyond the veil of the present, The pain it brings to know, that we can never go back Is worse than anything we can ever imagine; Lost time, good or bad, is cherishable on looking back, Lost time isn't so lost, It is us who lose it to the present; But we can rest, Knowing it's all in  at least  one man's dream...                     ...

NEW DAYS, OLD MEMORIES....!!! I haven't done this before actually, as I rarely look back at the days of past for the sake of recalling the events. But I know I have to do it now because this year, 2017, was indeed a life changing year.  The year began like just another day with my profile being a higher secondary kid, preparing for the boards with just hardly 2-3 months remaining. It was fun, I have to admit. The pressure I felt as a student of second-year higher secondary, makes me smile every time. I was pretty sure of what I was doing and what I was about to do after my schooling, and my family also was providing me the right ratio of moral support, because of which, that pressure makes me smile, as it was just an illusionary pressure. Just like any other conventional school in the state, MARKS were the most important thing. No matter how knowledgeable you are, you will be judged only by the marks on your report card. The system and the society is to be blamed, not ...
