The class !!

Today while sitting in the class,
boring as it was i began to dream.
thought abt the girl sitting next to me .
Wasn't she the one i used to see.
But now she is girl friend of my friend
perhaps she is just keeping with the trend

Suddenly the teacher asked sth about the artificial variables .
I thought is love also transferable..
But that was a one sided affair
The girl never knew i am under her impression

so forget the past , and think about future
but future is so dreadful
surrounded by the darkness ,I stand in between
look for the silver lightening that great man always talk about

Why i m not able to see it
perhaps only great men possess the right to see it
Am i not the great men ?

But were not all the great men like me once ?
always living in their dreams they are so fond of
and working for them with great furore
come what may always ready to go

But then what happened Why i stopped ?
I have to keep walking to reach the goal
keep walking until i reach there & declare d victorious .

Victory which will end my pursuit of happyness
and will give me the moment i will die for
or as Lombardi said my finest hour

Perhaps i m not seeing right
for there must be some light
i must look hard..

But then the class ended
and my thoughts interrupted

As I came out of the class and looked towards the sky
I found it full of dark clouds !!
Then the lightening struck and it started pouring.
As i stood there soaked in the rain
I decided to move forward and to throw away those gloomy thoughts
For now i see the light .

Vince Lombardi Speech ......... loved it

Winning is not a sometime thing; it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do things right once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

"There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game, and that's first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay, and I don't ever want to finish second again. There is a second place bowl game, but it is a game for losers played by losers. It is and always has been an American zeal to be first in anything we do, and to win, and to win, and to win.

"Every time a football player goes to play his trade he's got to play from the ground up - from the soles of his feet right up to his head. Every inch of him has to play. Some guys play with their heads. That's O.K. You've got to be smart to be number one in any business. But more importantly, you've got to play with your heart, with every fiber of your body. If you're lucky enough to find a guy with a lot of head and a lot of heart, he's never going to come off the field second.

"Running a football team is no different than running any other kind of organization - an army, a political party or a business. The principles are the same. The object is to win - to beat the other guy. Maybe that sounds hard or cruel. I don't think it is.

"It is a reality of life that men are competitive and the most competitive games draw the most competitive men. That's why they are there - to compete. To know the rules and objectives when they get in the game. The object is to win fairly, squarely, by the rules - but to win.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. There is something in good men that really yearns for discipline and the harsh reality of head to head combat.

"I don't say these things because I believe in the 'brute' nature of man or that men must be brutalized to be combative. I believe in God, and I believe in human decency. But I firmly believe that any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has to work his heart out in a good cause and he's exhausted on the field of battle - victorious."

PreparAtioN PAins

Admist all the helter-skelter of examinations a strange sense of peace is settling into my mind.looks like earth has stopped rotating and time has expanded into universe to take away all the deadlines with it .As if all of those marathon to-do lists have suddenly disappeared somewhere. Even the ghost of black cat which keeps haunting me all the time has gone to some hill station to get rid of this scorching sun.
Bit Strange ,not because exams are knocking on the door and i m not studying (that i do too often to appear starnge) but bcoz my never at rest 3600 cc appears to be at rest.An aura of mysticism is setteling around . Like i m in a dream world,where my soul comes before my goals,where i can waste as much time as i wants to and still not feel guilty about it ,where
i m happy and content and where all my ambitions have been fulfilled.
But this state even if so comforting is troublesome specially so because all those to-do lists are still incomplete and that so dreaded sowrd of exams is still hanging upon my head. Those goons of expectations are still at large and coming behind me with full force .How can i allow myself to stop and rest in between ?Not pushing myself hard enough at this time may prove disastrous to me in future.After all this is real world.
Therefore it would be much better if i get my economics right and sacrifies this magical state of today and up fronts reallity for the betterment of my future.Its time to order millions of neurons in my brain to wake up from their afternoon siesta and start creating the chaos again in persuit of all those things which determines a person in this world.
