Festive mood with sweets and sparks,
For at least a week, it will last,
Day and night, it turns to one,
Resting in peace, will there be anyone?

With bursting noise, rattling your spine,
With crackling sound, making the dogs whine,
Colors of light, as Diwali was to be,
Crackers and fireworks,as you made it to be.

Prowess of firework, that you display,
Choking millions of them, on your verge of this play.
Smokers are better, who affect themselves and passerby,
Are you better off on your part, to deny ?

Taking oaths and pledges, for green and clean nation,
Make pretty sure that you turn them to action.
Burst your ego and not just the crackers,
This will solve most of the problems.

Spread this light, as you read,
Turn this seed, not into weed,
Let the people be resting in peace,
Don't let them " rest in peace" !!!!

Lionel Messi Sketch By Kumar Abhishek Anurag

Lionel Messi Sketch By K C Shyam

The crown prince of congress,
Will realize today,
The game of the throne,
Is not a child's play.........

Once in a blue moon,
It does happen,
Youth of the country,
Awaiting different to happen........

Rallies and campaigns,
Were always there,
But still this time,
It was something rare........

The election and its results,
Will not impress me a lot,
But the people's mind to vote,
Will change quite a lot !!!

~$hyam

To bring in more transparency,
And to alleviate secrecy,
To avoid one's supremacy,
Let's vote for democracy.

Parties across many provinces,
Whose candidates with many promises,
Spreading their prominence,
To ensure their dominance.

They trade the vote with cash,
From their previous stash,
Try every means to squash,
Their opponent with whom they clash.

Every vote will change,
Every hope will remain,
Every word will be heard, when
Every finger is inked!!!

The lyricist of VIT.....Vishal Pisharoti,

The lyrics of the song titled " What You Know"

The song is the first person account of a person regretting his past, the fact that he has lost someone dear to him. The first verse is an abstract vision of him reminiscing the fateful day of losing his friend.

The chorus is written with an intention of claiming death to be beautiful but a recollection that he hasnt managed to overcome of the partner he had once envisioned.

The second verse is a mere recollection of the past events and how vague his love turned out to be(explained with ended in blinding sea) despite being so close to him(explained through portieres). Its a moment he can never regret because even if he wanted to, he was never given a chance to claim his guilt or mistakes because his love covered all his wrong actions.

The song continues with him claiming death to be a sudden, but beautiful thing in human nature, however, his past still haunts him thus collapsing his own world.

The song is written as a song and does not consist of a definite rhyme scheme and is explained in a more abstract manner. Hope you like it.

#note :
Reading the poem from the beginning makes you feel happy that u r clever....but when u read the poem word by word starting from end , there is something interesting in store for you.......

Me or you......Or just only you........... By K C Shyam

Think, you twice
Even,
Days or week,
Whether
Me or you,
Or only you

Please you more,
And
Praise you high,
Now
Know you better
Never, I am clever.

Hesitate never,
Smarter is former,
Questions' one ever,
You or me.

Swift and shrewd,
Wise and true,
Here am I,
You to prove.....

-K.c. Shyam

NOTE:
FOR THE LOVERS READ THIS POEM FROM THE START,
AND THOSE WHO ARE SINGLE READ THE WHOLE POEM IN REVERSE, i.e. from end

Here to mingle,
Not happy,
As a single,
As life is so great,
And latter is a grate.

When I look at you,
I am always complete,but I am incomplete,
For the world I meet.

The gleaming beauty of your face,
Never I forget, even those memories fade of
My friends and my days.

The time for you, to spare,
I do care,even I don't mind,
My work and my share.

The words from your lips,
So sweet, so humble but cacophony are those,
Whilst I listen others sing.

Your thought and your memories,
Are first to strike, let go into Thames, be it,
My carrier and desire.

You and your love,
Is my integral part, let go to hell,
The rest of the part.

Its time to change the world By K C Shyam

Wandering in the thoughts of mine,

Let me throw you some shine,

Watching the squalor of ours,

On what we created among us.

Roaming on a worldwide tour,

Ever seen a nearby shore,

Making friends off the border,

Ever talked to the nearby neighbour?

Seeing lion as a leather,

A bird for its feather,

No rain, no shower,

Left the leaves to get whither.

Your need and your greed,

Will they ever be freed?

You die for the money,

Ever lived for your honey?

Submerged in the world of work,

Did this thought ever struck?

For the job, the time you share,

Spent time for whom you care?

Jarring music you do hear,

Listened to cuckoo, from near?

You turn on AC, in four cornered room,

Ever felt the wind when those flowers bloom?

We are now stuck in the cobwebs,

It's us to wade off these webs,

We only create and innovate,

It's time for us to renovate!!!

Ram chahe leela chahe remix: By K C Shyam

Listen to the voices that surround you,
The air has something to say,
When everyone has calmed down,
When everyone is far away,
And you're all alone in the room,
Listening to the space around,
The hiss you feel in your ears,
Is louder than ever, so profound!

In the silence of the night,
When everyone is in his dreams,
You can hear time ticking in the clock,
The heart beats louder, it seems,
The footsteps, the rain drops, the wind,
Everything is clearer around,
In the silence you hear more,
That's the beauty of sound!

~Prashant Mishra

रोते हुए इंसान को मुस्कान दे गयी...
मरने से बचा के जीवन दान दे गयी...
खिल खिल रही है मेरे चेहरे पे जो हँसी आज कल...
इस मुस्कराहट को वो नई दोस्त पहचान दे गयी...!

मिले नहीं अभी तक हम जिनसे...
जानती नहीं वो बात कर रही है किनसे...
फिर भी गर भरोसा है इतना उनको...
तोड़ेंगे नहीं कह देना उनको...!

उस दिन ना जाने हमें भी क्या हो गया था...
वो थी दुखी और हममे भी एक कवी आ गया था...
कभी ना कह पाए और ना ही समझाया हमने कभी...
उसने कुछ कहा, हमने निकाल दी मान कि बात सभी...!

Rote hue insaan ko muskaan de gai....
Marne se bacha k jeevan daan de gai...
Khil khila rahi h mere chehre pe jo hasi aaj kal...
Is muskurahat ko wo nayi dost pehchaan de gai..!

Mile nahi abhi tak hum ginse...
Janti nhi wo baat kar rhi hai kinse...
Fir bhi gar bharosa hai itna ginko...
Todenge nahi kabhi keh dena unko...!

Us din na jaane hume bhi ho kya gaya tha...
Wo thi dukhi aur hm me bhi kavi aa gaya tha...
Kabhi naa keh paaye or naa ksi ko smjhaya humne kabhi...
Usne kuch kaha hmne nikal di man ki baat sabhi...!

~Prateek Saraf

सोचता हूँ बदल दूं उनको,
एक ही प्रहार से।
चाहता हूँ सीखा दूँ इंसानियत,
उन्हें अपने हथियार से।

बहुत हो गई ‘अहिंसा परमोधर्म’
भरोषा भी कर लिया बहुत ही।
लात के ही भूत जो ठहरे,
सुनेंगे वो कैसे प्यार से?

आज वक़्त वो आ गया है,
काल विपत्ति का उनपर छा गया है।
चलो हक़ अपना हम ले लें आज,
और छीनलें उनसे अधिकार से।

ना जात, ना कोई पात,
ना धर्म से जुडी कोई बेफिजूल बात,
आज हम लड़ेंगे अनोखी लड़ाई,
समता का व्यव्हार से।

~Satwik Mishra

No matter what field you are working in, at some point of time we all use the concept of the To Do List. This is something that people at times use not only in their professional life but also in their personal life. It indeed is a very effective method to keep an eye on all the tasks at once and to ensure that we do not miss on anything. Though I am not really into such kind of planning etc. but ever since I have been into the working force I have had to start using it and I have to admit that it really does helps to complete the tasks in time.

I have been using the To Do lists in diary rather than any electronic form because I was more comfortable with it. Also, some people who had tried the electronic forms of To Dos recommended that the hard copy format is effective. Nevertheless, you will find that people preferring the electronic form are more than that of the hard copy. I personally believe that writing by hand has its own aura and conjuration.

Anyways, I then started off with the electronic mediums for the To Do lists. Now, there were ample numbers of options available, which one to choose? After some basic search around I started off with Evernote and Wunderlist. Initially, you may take some time in being familiar with them and being habitual to them but slowly and gradually it becomes an important component for your day to day activities and also to plan the week or month well in advance.

Evernote is an amazing tool for taking all your notes, web pages you like, images etc in one place and has amazing methods to categorize data and retrieve as and when needed with the help of Tags, Notebooks (and similar jargons) etc. So, this is something you can use for long term thing.

For day to day, Wunderlist is an awesome tool or actually not Wunderlist but Wunderlist 2. It has a very neat interface and is very simple to use with the options of creating different lists for different tasks, adding notes to individual tasks, marking them crossed when done, setting up reminders etc.

So, you can use Wunderlist for short term planning and Evernote for long term planning & single point repository for notes, content and data you would like to visit time and again.
To add on to that, you can use both of these on your cellphones as they have their apps available.

Amazing tools they surely are but every now and then I also use my diary, not sure if any electronic tool would be capable enough to make me switch entirely to the electronic form!

Do try them and happy planning.

कुछ बातें, कुछ लम्हे,

कुछ ख्वाब, कुछ यादें,

हासिल थे सभी,

बस हासिल हैं नहीं

कुछ हँसना, कुछ सताना,

कुछ रूठना, कुछ मानाना,

हासिल था सभी,

बस हासिल है नहीं

अब यहाँ हम हैं खड़े,

बस चलने को तैयार,

जाना है कहाँ ?

बस मंज़िल ही नहीं,

हर अक्स में है चेहरा,

कुछ धुंधला सा

कुछ नया सा,

तो कुछ पुराना सा

क्या हम हैं यही ?

या गुमशुदा हैं कहीं?

बहुत याद आता है वो गुज़रा ज़माना,

वो प्यारा सा बचपन वो मासूम फसाना,

सुबह रोज़ उठकर वो यूनिफॉर्म पहनना,

वो टाई में उलझना वो पापा का सिखाना,

बस स्टॉप पर बस का इंतज़ार करना,

वो खिड़की वाली सीट की ख्वाहिश होना,

"स्कूल प्रेयर" और "थॉट ऑफ द डे" से दिन की शुरुआत,

वो "PHE" और "फ्री पीरियड" की राहें ताकना,

"लंच ब्रेक" से पहले "बोरिंग मेथ्स" पढ़ना,

और लंच ब्रेक में सबके टिफिन टटोलना,

फ्री पीरियड में होमवर्क पूरा करना,

फिर शाम को ज़्यादा खेलने की उम्मीद होना,

हर "आन्सर" के बाद वो लाल लाइन खींचना,

और हर एक "डाइयग्रॅम" को सुंदर सा सजाना,

घर जाके सीधा टीवी से चिपकना,

वो मम्मी का डांटना खाने के लिए,

शाम से पहले होमवर्क की जल्दी,

छत पर फिर फुल ऑन क्रिकेट खेलना,

वो दादा दादी से क़िस्से सुनना,

"पता है, आप सुना चुके हो" ये बार बार कहना,

वो मम्मी के हाथों का गर्मा गर्म खाना,

वो पापा के आने का “वेट” करना,

सब का छत पर जाकर फिर बातें करना,

तारों और सड़क की गाड़ियों की गिनती करना,

वो पापा का कहना जूते पॉलिश करके रखो,

वो मम्मी का समझाना स्कूल बैग भी जमा लो,

और कुछ ही देर में,

फिर जल्दी से सो जाना,

वो नया दिन फिर वैसे ही जीना,

पर हर दिन में खुशी, हर दिन में कुछ ख़ास होना,

हक़ीक़त था जो, अब हुआ है फसाना,

हक़ीक़त है जो, होगा वही फिर फसाना,

बहुत याद आता है वो गुज़रा ज़माना,

वो प्यारा सा बचपन वो मासूम फसाना |

The title may sound strange because it is quite intermingled with various domains.. Well, the world as we know it and the complete human civilization on a whole, is growing and advancing very fast.. No matter what field it may be, we really are making progress; may it be the medical field, the IT sector, the civil architecture or any other.. But, the prime question here is that are we really advancing ?? What I mean is that on what parameters do we judge that ??

It always has been a convention for us to judge anything, relative to something else. Forget about the leyman examples, even 'time' is something that we judge relatively.. So, with this frame of mind how do we judge the advancement of the human civilisation when we have to do it in the absolute way and NOT the relative way ??

We indeed are heading ahead in technology, medical etc. but are these the real parameters to judge the civilisation's growth ?? When we are analysing it at the level of "the bigger picture"; it's important to ponder upon at the average human being's level... The average human being of NOT some country but the average human being on this earth.. Does the medical growth improve the life expectancy of this person ?? We need to consider the economic status as well, is the treatment really within the reach ?? Does the latest technology invented in the automobile sector or the IT sector really make the life of this average person any better (don't read comfortable) ?

It is sad that we really have forgotten the real parameters for judging the growth (or may be we never knew). Even I have no clue as to what they can be but they surely do not seem to be the ones under the current consideration because on a whole, the world seems to be heading towards more chaos.. Well, atleast the Hindu mythology (refer Kalayuga) and Nostradamus predictions tell me so..

Hence, it is important to realise and analyse as to where exactly are we heading. And hence we need to find the right parameters that can be referred for growth so that we do not end up in more chaos and disorder.

Even if we want to measure our growth relative to some other civilisations; well then, what choices do we have ?? We don't even know whether we are the only alive planet or not, then how can we measure only on the basis of little information we have about the past civilisations ?

I cannot conclude this discussion, I guess no-one can but the least we can do is to think about it and find out the measures we can take to make this world more peaceful and a better place to live, for the generations yet to come..!

As we move on with life, we tend to realise that every moment, every fraction of second it is changing it's course. The course of our lives is decided by numerous factors indeed, but I believe somewhere down the line we do play a major role in it's formation. The fact is that, at times we don't even realise that these changes are what later on go on to define what we are or what we become.

Considering that, the phase of change ie the transition is never easy to handle. The reason being, that we get accustomed to what our traits are or what our situation is, and any change in that puts us out of our comfort zone and hence the transition is not easy.

But, that being said, it is necessary for the caterpillar to bear with the difficulties of the transition to become a beautiful multi-colored butterfly and it is not it's destiny to stay a caterpillar forever. Also, it is vital to adapt ourselves according to the changing situations only then the transition can be complete and only then it's purpose can be accomplished.

So, it's time to welcome every small or big change in life..:)
