MEOW !

Bell the “CAT”, I think I will

Would surely let my dreams Fulfill

Scary its eyes, Frozen and still

Is far away, on the top of the hill

Crushing my spirit, like a chain mill

But belling the cat is my ultimate drill

Bell the “CAT”, I think I will

Would surely let my dreams Fulfill

With more than my share of surprises coming my way, the biggest one seems to be the purring at me right on my face,  giving a whole new meaning to the phrase : “Meri Billi Mujhi se Meow”.

Now that a change in the pattern of the question paper pattern is being pondered upon, mere mortals like me – who are just kids at this race – are totally getting freaked out. It is a scary notion when you know that there are species of magical creatures i.e  Quantosaurus, Verbosuarus , Logicosaurus ,DIosaurus and the supreme Seismosaurus  showing their full rage and voracity on one hand and on the other there  creatures like me are finding it tough to even get some breathing space. At this point I would like to tell you that I am still in the nascent stage and yet to evolve into the super duper species. The evolution stages are as follows:

“Kyun”tosaurus -------à “Quant”osaurus

“DI-no” saurus ----------à”DI”osaurus

“Illogico”saurus ---------à”Logic”osaurus

 “Quant”osaurus +”DI”osaurus + ”Logic”osaurus ---à Seismosaurus

The evolved species generally devour the nascent ones in this game. So the small players like me need to buck up.

At this moment, I don’t want to be weakened by the notion of unexpected paper pattern coming in as a shock rather than a pleasant change. There are “species” whose scores

have been double that of mine and as a chemical Engineer I call it “Driving Force”. Higher the driving force Better the performance or at least that is what I am hoping.

With all uncertainties the future beholds, I have decided not to give up on my preparation and face the challenges head on. I shall not let the possibility of upcoming turbulent times to act deterrent in my attempt to win the game or “bell the CAT”. 

In the End I would Like to say only one thing:  Bell the cat..Hmmm Yes I will!!

 

-GG

Him and me ! !

 

I wanted him real badly. I offered myself to him. I proposed to him and he said "yes" ! 

Good news ! Creativity agreed to be my "humsafar".

Creativity and me have the: “pakde rehna , Chodna nahin “ relation .  Unfortunately, the dramatic essence of this line is comprehendible to a select few who are ardent fans of Bollywood masala. Though I am always confused between imagination and creativity, I believe that Imagination is like the most brilliant creation of the brain. I am a staunch believer in this because I use my brain solely for imagining. I was exulted when I realized that Mr. Einstein’s soul (who happens to be my inspiration , so much so that I sported the same hair style when I was in the 3^rd year of my college :P) totally agrees with me when it says : “ imagination is more important than knowledge” . I do not even understand the last word of the saying   , can somebody please explain!

My ability to create keeps me alive. I never get bored, thanks to my creativity.  The same has resulted in me being thrown out of class and in more frequency – my friends. From everyday life, I learn a lot of lessons about creativity:

1)     Movies: They taught me importance of “extravagance” in any imagination. If you are really imagining something – whether it be a picnic, party or a romantic scene – it better be in Switzerland. Though extras are a matter of choice. You can have a few pretty / handsome ones there just for fun and let others be in the backdrop somewhere. Next time you dream of a work place – Let it be in Hawaai – with you wearing some flowery clothes, drinking your favorite drink from a coconut and perhaps getting full speed internet so that you can facebook. Think of getting paid to do all this!! Ahhh .. Imagination is a super power!! You use it, misuse it or abuse it – The choice is yours !

2)   Lectures: This is when my creativity levels peak. I start doodling in the book and end up making something really – let us say – artistic. My reasoning behind doodling – It helps me actually concentrate more on the lecture. For those who really are wondering whether I’m giving an explanation for “getting distracted”, I have only one thing to say: “You are gravely mistaken folks!” Doodling actually keeps my head in the class rather than taking it to exotic locations like the arctic pole. I can tell you how “wild” imagination can go. Think of having frozen panipuri at the arctic – wearing those thick woolen clothes, along with a few penguins and polar bears standing in line – waiting for their turn.

3)   Work place: Imagination / creativity will help you keep your cool. For people who want more clarity on what I am talking about can watch Scrubs. If you are angry, you can just blow off anyone’s head just by a click of Imagination. This will not only make you smile but also obviate the tedious wait till you finish counting the first 10 numbers backwards, just  to clench your fist and punch your rival.

Hope you derived some vicarious pleasure out of the small treat I have offered to you.

 In the end I would like to say only one thing   :

Keep Imagining! Keep Creating coz creativity knows no bounds! And not to forget – keep Smiling

Catharsis

Here I am spilling out my thoughts

Restricted I am, though I was not

An experience I cherish, yet not so

Failure in a way, yet moving towards success

Something I let go, shouldn’t I have done so

Oh!  Was I inane or insane?

Ensconced in the warmth of your presence

Tantamount to a mother’s embrace

Languished by the overwhelming feeling I was 

The stentorian heartbeat filled me with a rapturous joy

Scared – it might have been heard by the whole macrocosm

A contrived silence is what I tried to maintain

Oh! Was I inane or insane?

Here I am, left with an amalgam of joy and sorrow

To the maudlin mood is it do I owe

The small & fist-sized has now become vagrant

Invidiousness remains when I see those eyes that supported a lie so blatant

Has this made me a person Vacuous?

Only Invidiousness remains when I see those eyes that supported a lie so blatant

Has this made me a person Vacuous?

Only if could descry into the time unknown 

Oh! Was I inane or insane? 

To think about it, is it an obsession

Trying to forget it is a task herculean,

A memory imprinted in my mind forever

Those walks in the balmy weather

Those thoughts could make anyone balmy

Yet I decided to deal with it very calmly

Oh! Am I Inane or insane
