Search for an Editor...

Hi,

I'm looking for editors to manage this blog, preferably from batch 2008-10.

Our wall-of-fame, it seems, has entered a phase of inactivity as nothing has been posted after the summers of 2008.

Your role would be to popularize blogging amongst your & your very eligible junior batch. You'll need to promote the feeling of expressing ones feelings (pun not intended).

Cheers

"Tomorrow" by Ishaan Bhardwaj

Tomorrow is a promise,
its is pure and its is magical,
Tomorrow is divine,
its presence is benign,
tomorrow is a promise,
a promise of a new day a day of joy ,

Tomorrow is boundless,
Tomorrow is perfect,
Tomorrow is a dream ,
Tomorrow is a perfection its abstract,
its shallow and its deep,

Tomorrow is a sorrow,
Tomorrow is a remorse
for what is not today is left for tomorrow
Tomorrow is nirvana
it is ecstasy it is a new high

Tomorrow is a question
its a string of faith
it is the answer and it is the ultimate
Tomorrow is tearsit is death and birth
for life is until tomorrow
tomorrow is never forever
what is tomorrow is today....

"Don't Quit" by Krishna

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh.
When care is pressing you down a bit.
Rest, if you must, but don't you quit.

Life is queer with its twists and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many a failure turns about
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow -
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt.
And you never can tell how close you are.
It may be near when it seems so far:
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit
it’s when things seem worst that you must not quit

"PEACE" by Shrikant

We always think of ourselves and neglect others. The husband always thinks what his wife should do for him and vice versa. Why don’t we instead think of what we can do for others? If we can, then it will bring about universal benefit. When we learn to live for others, they too do things for us. Never think what you will get out of it. You shall definitely get something from the Almighty. You shall reach Him and that will bring eternal joy. A life filled with joy and peace means the presence of God within you.


On the contrary we opt for a losing bargain. We exchange peace for money and lose calm over physical comforts. Then we question our own foolishness, "I have every thing but there is no peace. Why?" Who stops us if we want Peace? In reality, “we” only act as if we do not need peace. The path to peace is very simple. If the quest for peace starts with love, one surely reaches one's destination. In that case love, sympathy, and generosity replace lust, anger, and greed. There is no doubt that the individual earns the blessings of God if he learns to live for others.


Now it is for us to decide our course. Do we want to enter a losing bargain? Love is such a wealth that increases if you distribute. Lust, etc. the enemies within, shall be annihilated when we are blessed by the Lord with love, openness and generosity in our life. So, learn to live for others and “peace” shall automatically follow and life shall be filled with joy and goodness.

"The Quest" by Prantika Ghosh

Am i not the one
to steal your very sense
in a full moon night,
when you feel,
none being across the fence,
someone out of sight ?

Perhaps i am not the one
to play my symphony upon
the chords of your heart,
when you know, having won
even the dusk and the dawn,
someone you love is still apart.

I, am not the one
to sing your favourite song
while swaying across in thought,
when you find, upon someone
to caress you all along,
yourself smiling out of naught.

Can i just be the one
to linger in your emotions
on an otherwise low day,
when you think, you have no one
to hold you atleast once,
if ever you lose your way ?

"In pursuit of happiness," by Neha Prakash

Happiness is not the end of everything
Neither is it the beginning of anything

Those who pursue it eagerly,
Fail to find it
Those who fight for it, always lose it

Thinking of pains that others inflicted
And looking for it in memories so restricted
Are the ones who often return disheartened and lose their way

There are those who wait for the oceans to calm down
Holding tight to false images and afraid to realize the changes,

I have known people waiting for one moment of happiness,
Through the towering piles of sadness
But fail to realize even one such instance

But there are those who have lived through sadness
And yet do not cry….
For they know it's better to smile for the ones who have been by your side

They know changes happened as they were deemed to be
For matters could have been worse
They don't wait for the sun to rise but live every moment of life
And they are the ones who find happiness by and by.

"I walk down the street..."

I walk down the street.
There is a hole.
I don't see it.
I fall in.
It isn't my fault.
It takes a very long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.
There is still a deep hole.
I pretend not to see it.
I fall in.
I pretend it's still not my fault.
It takes a long time to get out.

I walk down the same street.
There is still the same deep hole.
I see it.
I fall in anyway.
It's a habit.
I get out quicker this time.

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole.
I see it.
I walk around it.
I don't fall in.

I walk down a different street!!!
