A thousand years, a thousand more,
A thousand times a million doors to eternity
I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times
An endless turning stairway climbs
To a tower of soulsIf it takes another thousand years, a thousand wars,
The towers rise to numberless floors in space
I could shed another million tears, a million breaths,
A million names but only one truth to face
A million roads, a million fears
A million suns, ten million years of uncertainty
I could speak a million lies, a million songs,
A million rights, a million wrongs in this balance of time
But if there was a single truth, a single light
A single thought, a singular touch of grace
Then following this single point , this single flame,
The single haunted memory of your face
I still love you
I still want you
A thousand times the mysteries unfold themselves
Like galaxies in my head..

A Walk Down The Memory Lane
"Life comes in full circle"
I think i am strong believer of this phrase. Just the other day while i was walking towards the learning center in the campus of XLRI to attend my lectures , i sensed a weird emotion transpire through my mind. Little contemplation and i realized it was nothing but - dejavu. The campus here at XLRI reminds me of my boarding school at Varanasi (Rajghat Besent School). The similarities are starking , same lush green roads , building and prof's quarters hidden behind thick bushes of trees, chirping noise of birds from some distant place broken by the occasional barking of street dogs, a very laid back but cozy outlook. However i guess the similarity end here , while this place is oozing with energy and enthusiasm surrounded by a bunch of young & smart people , highly focused to achieve what they have dreamt for , my school had a very laid back approach towards the education system. It believed in greater good of society and had its value systems built around creating human beings for the whole society. May be imparting good education was the central theme of this process , i guess we conveniently twisted it to our interpretations.
Whatever said and done , i loved every day i spent in RBS and i am sure i am going to enjoy and equally cherish these days at XLRI when they are a part of an old chapter in my history book.
As of now , this is my present , and i am enjoying every bit of it.

My First One
Well this is first attempt to blogging and i must accept i have no clue what to write. Well definetely give it a shot. Though i am just thinking what should i blog about , about me , people around me , or just random things. I guess random things around me makes more sense to me. Why so.. well because at least i don't have to explain it to anyone and no sticky situations.
As of now , i am busy watching Academy Awards , unfortunately i didn't get a chance to watch all the movies nominated this year , hence really don't have my favorites. Let the best talent be the winner. That's it for now.. Will be back with better content.
