The New Voice of India...

Posted by astuti at 6:08 PM 1 comments

I love the New Voice of India. It's the Voice that wakes up fresh every morning ready to take on the world; its ever ready to take on challenges and is not afraid of being mis-interpreted.
In reality the voice of our generation has never been this loud. This voice does not complain or whine or make excuses. It leads by example, replacing apathy with empathy, disillusionment with belief, words with action. It’s a new India that awakens every morning and looks at itself with pride; an India that wants to live up to its glorious ideal of democracy. It is an India that has hope for a better future and wants to do something about it. Which is ready to take matters in its hands and not blame the government for everything wrong happening. It is spontaneous, filled with high energy and ready to compel people to take hard decisions. It manages a good balance between spontaneity and impulsiveness. And is ready to ask questions never asked before.

It's a voice that wants to be heard and is ready to scream in your ears if you aren't paying attention. I love this voice which is so alive; it gives you a high just listening. It's an energy, its spontaneity, its a wonderful way to live. What it means is we are living in the moment.

Welcome to this new generation. May this enthusiasm live forever. :)

Ode to an unusual friendship...

Posted by astuti at 7:57 AM 0 comments
There are many ways of loosing people. Some you loose when life as you know it, ends; some: when you don't find the time to remain in touch; while others 'coz things just don't work out! No matter why, loosing a good friend is always difficult.

Here's an ode to one such friendship.

When you laugh, it's contagious...
I just have to laugh along-side!
But these moments seemed to have been in the past
friendship with you, just didn't last.



We knew there was no future in all this,
risking everything we still didn't miss,
a single chance to enjoy destiny's hand
hoping people would learn to understand.

You moved me in ways that left a sign,
we spoke till your beliefs became mine
and I never stopped to think
how would life be when things just end.

The day did finally come,
when you were left to pick one;
you chose the right thing to do,
I understood and really didn’t miss
Its just sad it came to all this.

I hope you know now,
I always wished your best
Life is fun and I wish you only delight
I wish “He” would keep you in sight!

P.S:
It was a choice no one should make
for life’s not always as simple to shake!
