Religion and Politics

Each day a new gash on our wounds

Open-mouthed they gaze at the bloodied screen

Every wound a mark of withering unity

Every crimson symbolizing dreams being shattered

A hand flies down from there, a leg from somewhere

Is it raining death over the land that preaches peace?

With no one to turn to and nothing fair

Noble souls turning to ashes is the fees

Of riots that cause mayhem and despair

Presenting charred memories which seem never to disappear.

Long lost faith in the system, the governance

Adding to the woes and the superficial religious trance.

Under the shadow of the chains of separation

Young flowers charred beyond recognition.

To the almighty I pray, who are you exactly-

Allah, Vishnu, Jesus or Guru Nanak?

Aren’t they all your different names?

Those having power they classify your names to kill

Your own children- prey of your own different identities!

REA'L'ife:Coming Soon

Just as the time to step out of college is nearing, happened to read this..

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world doesn't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one. 

Wow.. Bring on !
