let me be...

I am me ,but the world doesn't like the me god created
They are making me think that i need to be recreated
But will i still be me when i am dismantled and broken?
Do i really need to be bleeded and shaken and beaten?

Surely i am gods own child if am the way i am,
Let me live and be alive no matter how i am ,
Do i really need an approval from the world
My heart bleeds with all the insults that are hurled...

There must be a reason i am sent on earth
I want to live and not be killed before my birth
As without me the world will not exist
Let me be and lets all  happily  coexist.

Something on Female foeticide 

Best remembered

I would like be best remembered for my laugh,
Albeit you might remember me by my old age cough,
I would like to be remembered for bringing a smile,
Albeit you might remember me for being senile.

Remember me for my deeds than my riches,
As i know how the human loyalty switches,
I might not have real huge bank account
Remember me for my big heart in your recounts

World today is very selfish and fickle
Nobody will  help you when in pickle
So live your life with your smile as your asset
Never be know as that sad old man when in casket.

Again a random one, an old man recounting the selfish world and advising to live your life with a smile and be someone who brings in a smile!!

Trust

Shattering of trust doesn't make sound like breaking glass
But it takes one word to turn dreams to candy floss
Breaking heart doesn't make sound like thunderstorm
But it takes one action for  love to hate transform..

Sometimes we are shattered by inane things
Be strong so that you don't feel the painful sting
Life can swing anyway in the blink of an eye
With this i bid you a very goodbye..

A impromptu random poem...

Jolt

Jolting and jostling is the life today,
We no longer have a smooth way
Elbows rubbing with strangers
Feels like you are in a wringer

Jolt out of the inertia in life
As boring is life without strife
Joy is in living and giving
Be someone who is forgiving..

Humility~~

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.”

― Ernest Hemingway

      No , i am not back to my preachy ways. As incident at work triggered me to think about humility at workplace as a desirable trait or not? Someone told me "we are not servants" , just because we were trying to be helpful to a group outside ours.Also , a phrase "we have to be cut throat" was used.All this made me wonder about humility and helpful behavior.
      ‘Humility’ is a widely understood word. It’s not one of those words people will pause to look up the meaning for. Generally, people love the thought of humility. It’s one of those ‘good’ values we strive for; one we admire. Yes, most people feel they know what it means to be humble.The greater our humility, the greater our fascination with the world around us, and the more we learn.It also means having the willingness to help others do their jobs when the need arises. It is a means for allowing different personalities to coordinate with each other.
       Amid all the career advice exhorting workers and job seekers to engage in relentless self-promotion, is there any room for that most traditional and modest of virtues, humility?A sense of humility is essential to leadership because it authenticates a person’s humanity. We humans are frail creatures; we have our faults. Recognizing what we do well, as well as what we do not do so well, is vital to self-awareness and paramount to humility.
     Few people became CEOs without supportive mentors, colleagues and supervisors. To get that support, you can't hog the limelight and undermine coworkers.The simple truth is that not everyone treats success the same. Some people who achieve success remain humble, never forgetting who they are and from whence they came. The others? Well, we can learn from their mistakes.One of the things I have learned through my career is that if you treat others well, they will respect you and perform well for the organization. Treating people with dignity and respect is a no-brainer, yet so many people have a hard time doing this. You will be respected and remembered if you behave with class and in a way that makes each individual you work with feel important and valued.
        Humility is not silent, weak, or humiliating. It is an unstoppable force that both leads and feeds during tough times of change.Treat others well and remember who you are. If so, you will go far.

   

To do list of life?

          Sounds like a strange concept?Well,sure it is.But,isn't life strange?I think nowadays parents make this to do list for the kids even before they are born.This is the school/college my kid will study.This will be his chosen profession.We make our to do list of life based on what is expected rather than what we want!Oh,i don't mean we make a list and it will happen.No,life is not that predictable.But,when we have a to do list we try to set them as probable goals and maybe sometime achieve them..
       But doesn't this to do list make life a chore than something exciting to look forward.And no i do not mean goals should be called to do list tasks.Realistic goals and ambitions don't fall in this category.Maybe something which is fantasy falls in here.I was just wondering 5 things in my current to do list!And ofcourse i won't reveal it here. Here is below funny one !

Queen! A woman jilted

   
       I know the movie is very old now and probably already been talked about to death.But, somehow i see some shift in thought process as all women audience are able to relate to it.For those who don't know the story.Its about a girl in the typical Indian scenario in midst of her wedding preparations. Its a love match and guy used to pester girl during her college days.But just a day before wedding the guy feels that he can't marry her and says that to the girl.Now you will expect the emotional blackmail and crying to start.But thankfully the rest of the movie is not just about sad drama.Its about the girl breaking free from centuries old tradition and going to a solo honeymoon to Europe.She mingles with people and slowly evolves into a comparatively stronger personality compared to the start of the movie.Later on goes ahead to reject the guy when he comes back and wants to marry her.She realizes that she needs someone who allows her to be who she is.
           On facebook a group of women travelers from India were discussing the so called "solo honeymoon " concept.No, its not rejected women in search of nirvana, but travelling solo for sake of travelling! Strangely many confessed on going on such trips long before Queen released .One girl impressed me, she hadn't watched Queen and had gone to a 2 month Euro trip (self planned) all alone in 2012!! She impressed me and i had to add her to my friend list and yes, she did accept my request.We started chatting and i asked her the cost/planning etc done for such a trip.It turned out that self planned /budgeted travel is lot cheaper than a package tour!Sign...maybe someday i will do a self planned Euro trip, seems like a distant dream now.Albeit, i will prefer to go with someone than solo.
        I remember watching the movie when many of my friends asked "have you seen queen".So, finally i watched it 2 weeks after its release.Now, most girls have Euro dream , as film had glamorized the whole travel deal.Some want to travel just because it seemed fun, despite not really liking travel !I already had a Euro dream since few years, i always read about countries in Europe, monarchies, history ,subscribed to  travel forums, read about package tours..The expense , the fear, the lack of company held me back.Now, Indians have started splurging on travel, the concept of owning multiple houses, cars etc ..is reducing.The concept of experiencing life and living it is taking shape in Indian society.Queen, is not just is a tale about a woman redeeming herself from the pressures of society, marriage, but it is also a film that transpires a change in the outlook of how small-town girls are perceived. Often regarded to be buried under the control of men, Queen breaks the stereotype and manages to rise strong and bring a change in the outlook.
         Ofcourse, we also discussed about "what would we do if we were in place of Rani?"I recent comment from certain someone made me recall that conversation.I will probably kick the guy in the gut :D
       Few life lessons we take away from the movie,
- You need to have a sense of humor in life to combat unusual situations.
- To be adventurous and explore life,Never let anything pull you down!
- The barriers and restrictions holding us back in life are mostly the constructs of our own mind .
- We usually have a myopic vision of our problems and restrict our untapped abilities by giving the reins of our life in someone else’s hands
