Life awwwaay from a Metro!!

It was a real life version of "SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE" when Sushil Kumar won the magical figure of Rs. 5,00,00,000 in KBC . Not that I am very fond of the derogatory term, but you could sense the similarity between the two. The only difference, there were real emotions in the real saga.
It was only an irony, to see a small town guy finding himself in an alien environment, answering a question about a foreign country to win the jackpot.
If the victory was brimming with joy, the victory celebrations overflowed- Quite Literally. Amongst all the adulations, Sushil Kumar held his ground. I am sure, everybody watching the show would have wanted him to win. That was simplicity personified.
Sushil Kumar has echoed the voice yet again - That people emerging from the grinds of the small town are more enduring in their nature. They have always been subjected to the not so easy way of getting things, which make them strive a little harder than their counterparts in the bigger cities, and hence these results.
It’s so refreshing to see so many role models coming from small towns, which gives us a belief – Yes! if they could, we can as well !!!
If you want to feel the real essence of India Shining, you need to goto into the smaller towns and villages of India, and see how are the people faring? If the, answer is good; the answer is “Yes We Are”!!!
Let us have more such Sushil Kumar’s coming up and winning, and we not just acknowledging them but standing to be like them.

Master of my thoughts!!!

The shadows of the unknown past, follow me,
They tell me,my soul is old,
But,I'm too young to be old.

I wonder alone seeking the light,
Waiting for the sun to shine,
Waiting for the perfect past,
to resurrect in time.

Among the cloud of delusion,
The battle though lost, the war will be won.
The past will be conquered,
Because, I'm the master of myself.

Chose to Walk

I stepped into the subway, a tunnel, walking against the light, into the darkness. It was scary. Felt claustrophobic. A fear that I have been left alone to fight against the odds - the darkness.
I thought to myself, Should I walk ahead or turn behind and walk towards the much known light. An inner voice said, Walk Straight. I did…
I kept walking past the darkness, hands clasped against each other, shivers down my spine. But I chose to walk – Straight.
And there I saw light ahead - The much known one. Enveloping the darkness inch by inch, and there I was in broad daylight. I had crossed the tunnel - victorious.

Dil Na Umeed to Nahi,
Nakaam hi to hai,
Lambi hai gam ki Shaam,
Magar Shaam hi to hai....
