LEGAL....

Its been days since i have put up a new post..........was just experiencing the newness of a new phase in my life.............well the newness of it has withered so now i get back to my first love"Writing"......

Exactly three months ago i took up my "second" preferred career option, LAW to be more precise corporate law of course the first was to do a PhD in genetics.............but that dint particularly work out coz of its(by that i mean the field) lack of development in INDIA................n m not too sure of settling abroad(after being to the US i some how dint like how life functions there).............so i flowed in the direction of the legal arena ......of course it wasn't an easy decision coz coming from a family of hardcore engineers and i myself being a science student this inclination of mine faced quite a few criticism from very closed ones to distant relatives.................who obviously were bothered about how much would i earn , some even looked down upon me,some also did question my intellectual capacity......................but what the heck as if i care at the end its my life i have to lead it and its better to do something one enjoys doing then something you are forced to do............i mean dude the rest of my life i just cant regret my major career decision...............and after all its not a famous career option that makes you successful its entirely your luck n hard work which does its work......well not blabbering too much now i would just like to express my heartfelt views about some of the cases.......now i being a would be lawyer its quite expected of me to be well versed about the recent happenings...............not that's its a chore i quite enjoy getting updated about the current news.

At present there is a rising trend of celebrities coming under the legal eye,and not to forget the media which instead of covering other important issues is more concerned about what a certain"sanjay dutt" was wearing or eating after being sentenced to 6 years of rigorous imprisonment,or what was "salman khan's" fathers reaction after he wasn't allowed to meet him when he was held guilty for the 1998 black buck poaching case.....no wonder why the legal system of our country is going down the ditches...............i mean allowing a criminal who posses deadly weapons like AK-56 which are weapons of mass destruction out on a temporary bail just doesnt makes sense...........he may be a famous celebrity or may be doing numerous "pooja-paaths" but that doesn't make his crime lesser or doesn't return the many lost lives of the 1993 bomb blast.At the same time i am pretty amused by the sheer irony of our legal system.............when a certain aliastair periera has been sentenced to 3 yrs of imprisionment for just ramming down upon few sleeping Innocent bodies ,by saying this by no way am i empathising with him...........but comparing the severity of his crime with that of sanjay dutt's its quite weired that he will be serving his jail term while the latter is moving Scott free in various celebrity parties with his "manyata" in tow.....(would like to add here that these are my personal views and cant help it if some one's opinion differs from mine ) ..............it has always been like this in our system and it will continue to remain so................you must be wondering that if i am cribbing so much why did i even take up this profession but after all there is no harm in just spreading some teeny meeny awareness with a hope that may be just may be it might make some small difference some where.

Gazing at the evening sky.......

Gazing at the evening sky with a tinge of fuchsia pink,
My lonely heart skips a beat whenever of you it thinks..
Your mischievous gleaming eyes look like the shining pebbles under the moon light sky,
Looking into them i never realise how the running time flies.
If i could i would make the entire world go dark,
So that your eyes could be the only thing that created a spark.

Your soothing smile feels like falling drops of silken dew,
Hearing you chuckle makes the world around a place so happy and new.
That lingering touch,your caressing hold with you by my side,
Feels like the first showers of immaculate rain wetting the pristine blue tide.

The rhythm of our conversation and the way your addictive talks flow.....
Matches the feeling one gets looking at the charming night's glow,
It is because of you my love everything feels so blissful and bright;
Your presence in my life is just like spring between the rainy nights.

A SONNET.....

A shattered dream,
Few drops of tears;
When everything is snatched;
What is the need to fear.

The death of hopes and the burial of faith,
When the entry to bliss seems a faraway gate.
The unexpected dark side of life comes up,
When you don't have the strength and the courage to sum up;

When the wound of circumstances just doesn't heal,
Any emotions around , you just can not feel.
Sympathies and hopes flow in excess for you,
Though quite evident that most of them are untrue.

Its like falling down a bottomless never ending pit;
When you just don't know the out come in it.

That thing called "LOVE"........

This strong emotion which touches our life in so many different ways,
What is this love after all which makes your entire self sway??

The few fleeting moments shared amongst the one in a crowded place,
Makes the heart beat a little faster whenever next we see that special face;

The new born infant,just out of its mothers womb and covered in silken robe and satin bands,
Manages to stop crying only when placed in the warmth of its mother's hands...

In the long run of life when we are so busy trying to accomplish our aspirations;
Who says those silent prayers around us so that we can always achieve our good thoughts and ambitions?

There are many days when we see ourselves and the whole world stand on opposite sides,
But even during those testing times we have our closest pals to confide....

When the tumbler of happiness looks too small in front of the pitcher of sorrow,
The creator above , helps us to wait for the new dawn of tomorrow;

That thing called love which only can be felt and never can it be explained,
It is this strong emotion which keeps us going that just cannot be refrained.

The brand equity quiz-2007

The brand equity quiz -07 presented by IDEA and covered by THE ECONOMIC TIMES was an evening full of intellect to remember.It was due to an impulsive decision taken by me to join my sister (an investment banker in the making)that i was here for the first time.Otherwise a college student like me ,having nothing to do with finance and marketing wouldn't have fitted in there.Its was a business quiz quite unlike our general knowledge quizes testing our IQ's.The participants who had devoted decades of their lives to the finance and marketing sector gave in quite a good competition. The open aired venue being the turf club near the mahalakshmi race course suited the quiz perfectly.
There were two semi finals ,consisting of four teams each which were short listed from 139 teams nation wide,And the wining two teams from each of the semi finals made it into the grand finale.TCS (CALCUTTA) ,BHILAI STEEL PLANT ,SAVOIR FAIRE(GOA) and DEUTSCHE BANK(MUMBAI) were the strong contenders who made it . DEREK O'BREIN did his usual brilliant job as a quizzer and his stint as james bond with money and penny in tow added to the brilliance.And the lively ASH CHANDLER with his humour and melodious voice mesmerised the already enthusiastic audience .Not to forget the exuberant performance put up by the finalists which showed their perfection in their trade.The quiz ended with a cut throat competition between SAVOIR FAIRE andDEUTSCHE BANK in which the latter emerged victorious.And the winners Mr.SUDIPTO ROY and Mr. RAJIV RAI added a ford ikon each n 1O.47 lakh rupees to their already flooded bank balance.The many tricky questions framed by the quizzer maestro himself n the sheer excellence of the participants who answered them made the evening a great learning experience .And the active participation of the audience made the quiz a great success.

In quest for 'nirvana'.....

The saffron turban covered his bald head
It was his wish that he was here, leaving behind the family threads;
He had the experience of a good life in his stride...
But in search of the true essence he left it all with pride;

The mystifying Himalayas always enchanted him;
He was startled by the pure Ganges always flowing to the brim,
His journey had just began that he knew;
Also knowing that this experience is possessed only by few,

In this quest for nirvana he had come across the unknown facets of life;
Which money could have never bought him even if he would have strived,
The satisfaction of being close to nature and hear birds sing their songs of glory;
He always thought these things existed only in dreams and stories.


The simple living may not charm everyone;
But the peace that follows can be matched by none;
Man has after all evolved from the soil,
And sooner or latter he has to merge with it completing life's toil.

Kaaveri....

The tiny river has to merge with the mighty ocean.Period.
The silent moon was the only spectator to the tears over flooding her eyes.She being a charmer it was very unlike her to be so,as her name her charisma too matched the depth of the beryl river Kaaveri...,she was born with the wand of luck in her hand and had always got what she wanted from life.

And finally today the moment had come for which(well according to her)she was born;finally the moment where joys would know no bounds;finally the moment where happiness would be all around;finally the moment had come ,but....this moment dint belong to her.While the head honcho for the international firm where she had been an expected and fair competent was being selected,she was being given company by just the silent moon.
Her watery eyes gazed at the starlit night;the time when her passion had crossed all limits and the love for her now 'ex' had reached its pinnacle,that night too was as enchanting as today's night and it was due to that glorious night that she was now a single mother to a little bundle of joy......and that too in an altogether different country far away from her true identity coz her prim n propah image in the society couldn't bear a child without a fathers name attached to it....she took a look at her baby sleeping in bliss;and this sight made her roll back those tears.

Though she knew she dint deserve to be left all alone or be neglected when she had people looking up to her with awe before this phase,but it was her conscious decision,just as the beryl river decides which path to choose before merging with the ocean,she too had chosen her path...But whatever it may be the river after all looses its identity to the mighty ocean.

Some thoughts from the darker days...

I see myself looking at the glass window with a layer of dust covering it,
Is it the way i perceive things or are the really the stains??

I see the acquaintances obtaining success the wrong way,
Is it that i don't have the capability to achieve that;
or is it i don't want to be satisfied from such gains??

I see myself sitting in a dark room waiting for a ray of light to come in;
Is it that i am too lazy too make an effort?
or is it because i don't have the strength to bring about a change??

I see myself standing under the grey blue sky,
And feel wet by drops of water;
Is it due to the tears rolling down my eyes
or is it really the rains??

I see myself surrounded by loved ones and friends,
but still am all silent in their company,
Is it my general nature to be so?
or is it really the inner pain??

I see my self to have lost to many a battles,
But still want to be part of some more,
Is it because i am used to such failures,
or is it that i want to be victorious because life is after all a game??
