Of Farewells and Good Byes

Another few more days and my friends at the engg. are going to step out and face the world. I do have a slight twinge of pain that I'm not able to move along with them, but then everything happens for a reason and perhaps i was not supposed to be there. There was a time when we hardly knew each and struggled a bit to introduce ourselves and just four years down the lane we find it very hard to go our separate ways. Our lives have been on the fast lane and even though i am not with you when we part ways i know how it feels. But I've chosen to follow the path to where my treasure lies, For where lies the treasure, there will be my heart. All the jokes we had cracked, the times we had at the canteen, the midnight birthday parties at the hostel, the ramblings of the guitar by a spiky headed guy are a few memories we'll look back after a few years and wonder will these times ever come back. The time has come to face the world and the world is ours for the taking. A chapter closes and a new chapter begins in your lives and i wish all my friends good luck and godspeed.

Song of Radha, The Milkmaid, by Sarojini Naidu.

1 I carried my curds to the Mathura fair… 2 How softly the heifers were lowing… 3 I wanted to cry, “Who will buy 4 The curds that is white as the clouds in the sky 5 When the breezes of Shravan are blowing?” 6 But my heart was so full of your beauty, Beloved, 7 They laughed as I cried without knowing: 8 Govinda! Govinda! 9 Govinda! Govinda! 10 How softly the river was flowing! 11 I carried the pots to the Mathura tide… 12 How gaily the rowers were rowing! 13 My comrades called, “Ho! Let us dance, let us sing 14 And wear saffron garments to welcome the spring. 15 And pluck the new buds that are blowing.” 16 But my heart was so full of your music, Beloved, 17 They mocked when I cried without knowing: 18 Govinda! Govinda! 19 Govinda! Govinda! 20 How gaily the river was flowing! 21 I carried my gifts to the Mathura shrine… 22 How brightly the torches were glowing! 23 I folded my hands at the altars to pray 24 “O shining ones guard us by night and by day”- 25 And loudly the conch s...

Satire in Lord of the Flies

William Golding’s use of satire in Lord of the Flies Since Golding’s purpose in writing his novel “Lord Of The Flies” is to, ‘trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature’, his aim is really to comment upon the civilized world. Golding’s boys are merely the metaphor by means of which he makes his comments upon the real world. His metaphor is itself satirical since it makes fun of adults. Briefly put, Lord of the Flies says that civilized man, in his civilized society is no better than a pack of children running wild without adult supervision. This comparison seems absurd at first, so there is humour in it, but Golding does a pretty good job of making his argument stick. The naval officer at the end of the story is too close to the reality of the war like world we all like to ignore. He looks and talks like a gentleman polished and sophisticated, but in the line of his duty, he will find the enemy and give the order to commence firing, killing indiscriminately...

2010- A Recap!!

2010!!! What a turmoil it has been!!! I would call it a landmark year in my life or rather a year of changes. But on the whole I would call it a year of corruption. The "Raja" being promoted to the status of "Spectrum Raja" after he looted off with 1.76 lakh crores. Maybe i should try joining politics as my dear friend Govind suggested. 4G auctions are yet to start. Let's plunder, loot and get away with it. And not to forget the food scam, Aadarsh society scam and the Yedurappa land scam. To top at all Mr. Yedurappa proudly announced that i have done the same that my predecessors had done and he pompously questions what's wrong in him getting away with. Well, that's definitely a slap in the face of the justice system of our country. The most worthiest of all being the CWG Games!!! It literally raped the nation to shame. In short let's just say that the present Govt. simply sucks and we're voiceless against it. Leaving all this crap behind let...
