DG

DG has two meanings....One is 'Destiny Genuinely' and the other is 'Deepak Gupta'.
You can put either of the two in the poem...it'll make sense both ways.

It was just another day
Just another passing day
Just the same routine parades
Just another friend request
Just another ping
Just another addition
In my list of comrades!

It was so fortunate
To realise the presence of DG in my life
At a time when I desperately was in need
But Im glad DG was there
Whenever and in whatever situation
to save me from life's maltreat!

When DG talked to me for the first time
I felt it was just another conversation
Discussing the good and bad trends
No sense of hesitation, no sense of formalities
Synonymous to talking to long lost friends!

Have a glimpse in my eyes
You will see DG there
Have a look at my style
You will find DG fair

'DG' is not just a person
'DG' is not just fate
'DG' is a collection of emotions
A source to went out your anger and love
'DG' provides you with that gate.

I don know what Im writing
But I know what Im writing
I dont know what Im doing
But I know 'DG' is smiling!

I wanted to write something else
Something else has been penned down
There's still a lot to write
But im falling short of my words account!

I hope 'DG' understands
What importance it holds in my life
'DG' means a lot to me
Its you who made me survive!!

I thank 'DG'(Destiny Genuinely)
For making me meet 'DG' (Deepak Gupta)
You have been very kind on me 'DG' (Destiny Genuinely)
I don need a friend now
Coz I have 'DG' (Deepak Gupta)!!!

Prosperity ( The topic has no link with the poem, But it means everything related to the poem)

Final days of school
Fear of loosing friends
Fear of loosing the moments
Where 14 years of our life is spent

I enter a college
New people, new guides
Never knew that would be the place
Where I will discover a friend for life

He was not new to me
nor was I
But never knew we could be friends
Actually..we never gave it a try!

Constant messaging and talking
sharing every possible thing
made us quite close friends
Without actually meeting

Seven years of 'good friendship'
This is what I name it as
But the other person was in a different mindset
He considered it acquaintance perhaps!

Never knew he would not consider me a good friend
Never knew I held no importance
Never knew I was just another friend
Never knew seven years are named as acquaintance

When he said these 'golden words'
Everything went in vain
I had a lost a person
As a good friend that I used to claim

A void is created in my life
He is unaware of it
I feel lonely
I feel pathetic!!

Am I so bad??
Am I so ugly??
Whom should I ask??
Who can answer me correctly??

Why is life so weird??
Why is life so unfair??
If someone is important for me,
Why don't I get my share??

Anyways...Life moves on!
Void will remain forever!
I pray all good for you
A beautiful life as a river!!

Miss you!!

Silent Sea

Where the wind blows smooth
Where the sky is so huge
Where the sound is nominal
It is the Silent sea

Music never was so in tune
Silence never was so soothing
Horizon never was so perfect
It is the silent sea

Where I can sit for hours
counting the stars
Where I can be myself
It is the silent sea

A number of words unspoken
A number of dreams unwoven
Where they all gather together
It is the silent sea

Where I can laugh out loud
Where I can cry my heart out
Where there's no one to be seen
It is the silent sea

Without speaking a word
It pays homage to the whole world
An amazing charm it has
It is the silent sea

A topic that can be never be refused
to be written about
Gives wings to our imagination
It is the silent sea!!

I Love you!

Lightening a match-stick
Results in fire,
Giving fire to love
Results in lavish desire.

The desire which is the world for a person in love,
The desire which gives life to a dying bud.
When i was a bud,
I was scentless.
Now i am a flower,
Full of Aroma and redolence.

You gave me my fragrance,
You provided the felicity i was looking for,
You gave birth to my infatuation,
You gave birth to all the desires i was craving for.

You are a person of substance,
A person full of descency and elegance.
Promise me you'll be there for me,
when people around me are many or few.
I can't live without you,
Because.....
I LOVE YOU!!

My 25th Birthday!

A just another day for everyone...a just another day for me too. But something special was there! It was my Birthday! That too 25th b'day. I completed my silver jublee years on the earth.
I look back and realise...these 25 years have been awesome! I have no better word than awesome here. Awesome family...awesome extended family...awesome list of frnds....all frnds are awesome...awesome school days..awesome college days...awesome working days...everything is simply awesome!
I have always been very optimistic in life. Watever bad happens to people (it is bad coz they consider it bad on themselves)...I have only one thing to tell them.."Chill...worse could have happened...you shud be happy that only this much happened!"
I not only advise this to people..but apply it to my own life as well!
Every year leaves some remarks on our lives. If I have to pen down the remarks or prints that these 25 years have left on my life....It'll take ages for me to complete it!

I was a very shy person...very introvert kinda kid in my early school years. When I entered 8th standard...I became friends with Saloni. She was so cheerful, carefree and bold in nature...that she made me too like her. Today, If I am able to talk to 100 people at a time without hesitating, I need to thank her for this coz that was the year when I started to gain confidence in myself being with her.

When I cleared 11th class, one of my frnds told me that she could manage to pass in Maths only coz of me (I helped her out in her doubts).

That was the year when I realised that I could Teach!!!

Last day of 12th standard...A DJ party was organised in the school basement for all the 12thies. I danced my heart out. Enjoyed to the fullest. There...one of my frnds told me that he would love to dance with me like for some more hours!


That was the year when I realised that i could dance well (with girls and boys both..:P)

3rd year of college...I had lost my group of frnds there...some misunderstandings had taken over. I decided to beat them all in academics. All were very good in academics and beating them all was tough. But I took the challenge...studied day and night (I actually used to sleep only for 2 hours a day). I beat them all. I broke the record of my college by scoring very very high marks).

That was the year when I realised that I had the capability of accepting challenges and hence, keeping up to them!!!

Now that I have opted my profession as Teaching, I realise that students love me coz I teach well. Students come and tell me that they are hoping to score in the exams only coz of me.

I feel proud, I feel different and I feel content.

These are just handful of realisations about myself in the past 25years. I have a long way to go!!!!

1st week @ new workplace!

Whenever we enter a new place, we feel somewhat weird and out of place. We hardly know anyone and have a lil fear in our minds. Fear related to adjustment, cooperation from others and making mistakes. But this new place of mine was different.
The first day I enter my new workplace, I met two people whom I already knew, started getting a great deal of respect from the people there and started enjoying from the very first minute. The two people I am talking about...are the ones whom I met during the recruitment procedure at that place. We had met 3-4 times before our first day of joining, but none of us knew who else would be joining with them. We see each other there, and a long sigh comes from each of us! A sigh of relief, a sigh of happiness that clearly showed that all three of us were initially feeling out of place and lonely, but now the feeling had changed.
Then, whatever procedure is followed with a new employee, all three of us went through it together. Same experiences from the very first moment, resulted in a relationship called 'Friendship'.
I am glad I made 2 good friends at my new workplace already. I do not have to stick to some group of friends and be over friendly with them so as to adjust in the new working environment. That was such a relief. And the best part...these 2 friends of mine are of my age, and somewhat like me. So, we could get along well.
Then comes the work part. If you give your 100% to a job, you are bound to excel in it. I had heard this somewhere. And hence started implementing it. Well...till now..the implementation is in process, so I cannot claim that I have excelled in my work. But surely will get to know soon about the results of the hardwork that I am putting in.
All in all..had a great week..enjoyed every bit of it! Hope to be in the same kinda environment in the coming years.

Better late than never!

Past experiences are hard to forget. Student life, supposedly the best part of one’s life, is not just about having fun with friends. It is also about working hard, managing time and having specific goals in life. I was one of the favorite students of almost every teacher in school. Why? What else could be the reason other than scoring well in their subjects and make them proud. Life was going easy and downy till the end of my graduation days as I was a consistent hard worker. I had certain aims in life for which the determination to achieve them increased day by day, hour by hour.

Then comes the D-day. One of the most premier institutes of the world decides to show me the way to success. It was like a gateway to a whole new life; full of felicity and redolence, but away from home. Instead of getting a taste of happiness of getting into such a prestigious institute, I was more into packaging and managing. Before you misunderstand my words, I refer to packaging of fun with life and managing of life with fun. The basic goal and idea of achieving something in life was somehow getting eroded, not only at the back of my mind, but also in the front of my eyes. I started living life on the motto, ‘Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today’. Seems like James Dean quoted this solely for me.

Staying away from home is not easy. But creating a home wherever you stay is still an achievable task. That is exactly what I did and solved my problem of homesickness. The kind of care that parents ensure and friend like support from sister, I got all of this from my buddies. An extended family of friends was what I got and I cherish every moment spent with them. Two years of unmitigated fun and lack of hard work was what it all resulted in.

But as they say, ‘the whole object of education is...to develop the mind. The mind should be a thing that works.’ This does not hold good for every dam person on earth! A fellow person scoring well but having no practicality of his writings gets awesome opportunities in life to succeed. The entire system of education revolves around scoring good, being a Topper! Education is quite often misunderstood as Learning! I realised that a tag of good institute at your forehead would do no good if you sit idle.

My aim never was to score high. All that I wanted was to find a place in a good job. I could not get it for the reason that I did not score sensibly high. A feeling of regret captured my mind. I could see my dreams scattering all around. I closed myself into a shell of sorrow. I shut the doors of my mind and windows of my sole. Kept thinking all day and night, Is this my destiny? I could smell failure and got a taste of inferiority.

There entered the dilemma. How to succeed in life in such a scenario? I started believing that the two most crucial years of my education, the ones in the prestigious institute, had gone wasted. I then had a choice of taking one of the two roads. One led to hope of happiness, the other led to a fear of sorrow. In either case, I had to move on! Interacting with people provided me a rescue. This not only gave me moral support, but also showed me the light towards the hope of happiness road. I realised that I was not alone in the boat of confusion. I met a person who said, “I could have been studying Engineering if I had studied well in my school days.” A friend of mine quoted the words of Henry David Thoreau, “The cost of a thing is the amount of life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run” after losing the chance of becoming a successful architect, only because of improper hard work. But today these both are doing well in their lives.

‘If these people can move on, why can’t I?’ was the only question that kept creeping my mind. But there was something that was stopping me. What could it be? Am I incompetent? Of course not! Am I scared? Not at all! Has the right time gone? It’s never too late! Then what? What was it? Who would tell me? Teachers? They were too busy in their routine works! Friends? Busy with new life!

Then who? Whom should I go to? Dam!! I was lost in the bay!

Then came the time!

I figured out the solution to my problem. The only way out was hard work. If not then, then now. If not now, then never! Something very truly said, ‘Time waits for none.’

But another thing which is truly said is ‘Better late than never!’

I struggled, I craved, I cried, I enjoyed!

I got a job on the basis of my perseverance in my early days and the tag of the institute I was in. I owe a lot to it. I owe my joy, my endless list of friends, my career and my expertise in my field to the institute.

Today, I am content with life, content with my education and content with the way of life. As and when I grow career wise, my demands from life would rise. But one thing I have done away with is the feeling of regret and despair.

I am now in a position of advising people which path to take to succeed in life. I do not need to tell them much about it. As my only answer is hard work and never to give-up!

I am now in a position to stand besides the people who had left me behind in the race of success. I ran fast! Faster and faster! And I won!!

Those were the days; those were the moments, when I was sad! These are the days; these are the moments, when I am glad! Glad to be the way I am. Glad to be a struggler. Glad to be successful!
