Damn! I wasted all that cash on Engineering and they did not even teach me the correct stuff! :D

This is what LEDs actually do...

Public Carrier

Standing there, drenched to the bone
Tiered hands no longer capable of driving
Voices in your head feeling uncomfortable
You can feel his gaze right on you

The bespectacled eyes, staring right at you
You look directly at him
wishing he will look away
Then you realize, he is unaware of your presence

Sitting there in the back of a blue semi-truck
Stuck in a traffic jam his eyes focused on a distant point
His mind churning endlessly
Trying to figure out what happened

Holding on to his life and memories
All his possessions are traveling with him
The new destination as alien to him as the road he is traveling on
Just a fistful of memories of what had been

The age of his dreams is reflected on his sad face.
The eyes lack the any life or anticipation
At least he got a ride to his new home on this godforsaken day
Maybe that is why the truck is called a Public Carrier.

Freedom

He turned 61 today. He wanted to feel free. His politician girlfriend gifted him a chance to sky dive. The smile on his face as he climbed into the aircraft was infectious. At last he'll touch the height he was meant to. His girlfriend's smile was wider. She had his parachute in her car.

P.S. Another chance to shamelessly get more hits on MY skydive ka video ;)

Sound of silence

They were hiding in the bush. Men with machetes looking for their god’s revenge. She held her hand on her daughter’s mouth, to stop her from screaming, to save her life. The keepers of faith left their spot, her child no longer scared. She lifted her hand, the kid wasn’t breathing anymore…to save her life.

P.S. - Based on a combination of a scene from the movie Parzania and a scene from Season finale of M*A*S*H

Close encounters of the nth kind

In the Dish TV ad, the one where Mr Khan is talking to a bunch of TV reporters about broken news (not a typo)...WHY THE HELL is he talking into a TV remote control?? :O

Rant

I am sick of being Mediocre. I am sick of people who say marks do not matter, you are here to learn. It is exactly like saying I gave it my all, I gave my 100% that is all that matters. Stop screwing with your own mind. All that matters is that you fucking failed miserably. Who gives a shit about how much effort went into your failure? CGPA/CTC/How much road does your car occupy/How big is your big ass TV...THAT is the measure of where/who you want to be! Get your fucking priorities straight!

waiting to bloom

They were sitting there in knee deep water, the latest addition to her room. Hoping her next breath won’t be her last. Hoping someone relieves her of the plastic tubes sticking into her. Her body was carried out of her room. They were dumped into a dustbin. Neither of them got a chance to bloom
