A lot is left



A concept to learn
A knowledge to share
A blessing to receive
A lot is left to be at ease (with yourself).
---------------------------------------------------
Two expectations to live up to.
Two faces to make proud, to bring a smile upon
To soar high and limit the limitless
A lot is left to repay...
----------------------------------------
To fight a petty issue
To envy a cunning fellow
To shed a drop of sweat and tear
A lot is left to struggle.
--------------------------------
To touch the highest echelons
To bathe in showering notes
To travel across the globe
A lot is left to waste ourselves.
---------------------------------------
To drown in the depth of two eyes
To feel the touch of a hand
To hear the sound of a chiming voice
A lot is left to love.
--------------------------------------
To see the dawning sun
To walk barefoot over dew meadows
To quantify the stars
A lot if left to soothe ourselves.
---------------------------------------
A new life to give
A child to feed
A fur to caress
A lot is let to witness.
-----------------------------------
To sit and laugh aloud,
and slowly sip the coffee
And remember the good old vows, fights, scolds
To raise the toast at brunch table
A lot is left to cherish.
--------------------------------
To go through what they felt
To retrace their footsteps
To know how wrong we did
A lot is left to understand, realise and regret.
--------------------------------------------------------

An apology to accept
A dinner out with, the son, on whom you spent
A grandparent yet to become
A lot is left to forgive and experience.
--------------------------------------------------

A wrecking body to aboard
To live with a soul-mate who has gone
A holy book to re-read
An infancy left to live!
--------------------------------------------
A journey just begun
A voyage left to live up
Why cut it short yet?
A loft is left to answer UP.

The Longest Day of My Life

November 30, 2015. Monday. 8:30, I woke up that morning to see everyone in my grandparents' room. Papa had called a doctor home to check Dada. Dadi had complained that He hadn't been eating properly since the last few days. I thought it was routined and I didn't stop to ask Dada if He was fine, I was in a rush to get to work, perhaps I lack expression. 11:11, I always happen to chance upon 11:11 and make a wish. The last weekend was too eventful and fun-filled and I didn't have a lot of work to catch up on Monday.That day I wished that I would wrap up work in time and spend the second half of the day with Dada, sit with Him and take Him to the park to take a stroll, he didn't like being enclosed. Old age had taken a toll on Him, for the last one year He had grown weaker. In that time He had also become fussy, He wasn't the same as He was 2 years ago. He kept Dadi busy all day long. I often used to worry about Him. Thoughts of Him gone would strike agai...

Are you in solitude or are you lonely?

There is something strangely peculiar about solitude . Interestingly, in physical world, solitude and loneliness share the same space. Think how a sort of emotion - happiness or, its opposite extreme, sadness render different perceptions to this physical space where one unites with the self. This state of deprivation has many facets and thus nuances. I write this article in solitude and find it strange that when I upload it on my blog and make it accessible to strangers, I stand a risk of getting it plagiarised. I could have instead published it in a magazine or journal and have earned a byline. Or I might have instead saved it in my diary and 5 years from now when I 'd have had more interesting experiences to write about, I could compile them all and write a book - a greater probability of earning novelty. But as of now I have no such plans, no great story. So I'd just upload it in the online world of anonymity, make my blog appear more active, share on FB and rest myself i...

GST: A Game Changer

The constitution of India calls India an indestructible union of destructible states. The new Goods and Services Tax (GST) strengthens this notion of an indestructible union. The GST is a destination based indirect tax inserted in concurrent list of Schedule 7 in the constitution that will replace multiple cascading indirect taxes applied by the center and the states. It has been added in Article 246A through 101 st constitutional amendment act. The GST will subsume central taxes such as central excise duty, service tax, central surcharges and cesses and state taxes such as state sales tax, state VAT, luxury tax, entry tax, entertainment and amusement tax, taxes on lotteries, gambling and betting and state surcharges and cesses. The revenue of the tax would go to the state where the good originates. The GST council has come out with a multi-tiered tax structure – 0% on products on consumer price basket including foodgrains, 5% on items of mass consumption like spices and mustard...
