MY CRUSH

Give me a hint
Or one little clue
To let me know
why I have a crush on you
Don't make me feel silly,
Or worse,even shy
I'll listen to everything you say
If you just tell me why
Is it the way you listen,
And talk to me
Or the look on your face,
When I say something silly
Is it the nature you have,unlike no one else
That makes me wish I could have you all to myself

I have these feelings deep inside
Feelings that I have to hide
I don't know if you feel the same way too,
And I don't know what to do
When we are together I feel so uptight
When you are around I feel so right
I yearn to feel your touch
And when you leave I miss you so much
So for now,I'll love you from far
One day I'll tell you how special you are,
Till the time I'll retain this rush
And until then,you'll remain my crush

FRIEND

Although you are a friend of mine

And messages and sraps we do exchange,

I would'nt know you on a Street

And does'nt that seem strange

You hold a special place in my life,

Unusual and unique

We share many thoughts,

Yet we do not speak

I picture what I think you are,

Perhaps you picture me

An intriguing game for both of us,

For someone we can't see

So for this Friendship that we possess

We owe this mail a debt

Perhaps the charm lies in the fact,

That we have never met

The Taxi Journey

I remember the that train journey in Rajdhani Express.I was going from New Delhi to Mumbai.
It was 21 May,2008, I was travelling for the very first time without my parents.
It was 11 in the night when d train reached Mumbai. Its a very bustling city with people always on the move,and that night as well there were many people .
But the platform on which I got down was very dimly lit.
I was going through a sense of confusion and nervousness,don't quite know what was the real feeling that I was going through.
First a completely new and strange city,nobody to receive me amd I, a young unescorted girl with absolutely no idea
Though I had heard that Mumbai is a very safe city but coming from Delhi I was a little scared.
I just started walking,and got out of the station,there were many people there and many taxis were standing.
Again,I felt a chill going down my spine as I started moving near the taxi.
I garnered some strenghth and started chanting some hymn,I don't usually do it but I was so scared that I could only remember God.
I looked at all the taxi drivers (which I admit was quite wierd on my part) and finally decided on one of them who lookewd dxecent enough.Actually this looking part was suggested to me by a freind who told me that whenever travelling alone in the night always take a taxi whose driver looks neuther too young nor too old,jst middle aged would be fyn.............still don't know the logic behind it.
So I sat in the Taxi and asked him to take me to Versova.He looked at me and said 'Is sheher mein naye ho shayad,yaha ke nahi lagte'.Who on the earth was he to ask me this sort of a question?
I got a little alarmed and without answering him,asked him to jst drive.
He dropped me at my destination in about two hours and charged me exactly what the fare was.
I got down and realised that I had been rude.
Also jst because there are a few bad people here and there,does not make the whole world bad.
This world is a great place to live in and we should stop looking at people with the same perspective.
I turned back,he was still dere.I smiled at him and said"Sahi kaha tumne,yaha se nahi hun main,Dilli se aayi hoon"and waved him.He smiled and waved me back .
It was a great exeperience and I'll always cherish that journey:the taxi journey which really changed the way I looked at people and this world.

Special Friend

SPECIAL FRIEND

Well,I still remember dat day when I spoke to him.He had added me a few days ago on one of the popular networking sites.Although I never accept friend requests from strangers,though I get many of them everyday.I accepted his request,because rather than saying something like 'Can we be friends' he said 'I know this is weird,don't know why I m doing this but just wanted to say hi'.I still remember this line.
Thereafter we started talking on gtalk and realised that we had a lot of things in common.I told him things I never thought that I'll tell anyone.
Today,I can proudly say dat he's the most special friend that I have.
Sometimes you need a special friend to just be dere.
We have really acted silly at times,specially when he has called me childish.Pulling each other legs all for fun:D
I really got a great frnd in him,Found an Elder brother in him,one I never had.
So many times,we have ended talking about the same person:)........a small world indeed.
Thanks a ton for all ur advise,all ur wishes and all interesting talks that we've had.

May the sparkles of our arguments continue forever,
May the noise of our loud laughter echo forever,
May the smoke of our enigma remain forever
And best of all......................
May our Friendship remain enlightened forever.
Thanks for everything.

"YES I DO KNOW YOU"

RAGGING

It is often said that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.This truly stands apt in case of ragging.What starts as a friendly introduction or interaction between seniors and juniors takes no time to assume disgusting and perverted overtones.
More often than not the senior students make it an excuse to harrass their juniors.
Every person/student is different and has different mental strenghth.Something which might be be fun for a student might not be the same for the other.
And the worst part is that most of the college authorities fail to understand how grave the situation is.Year after year so many students are subjected to ragging some in the extreme forms.
Some cases do bag the headlines.There are so many students who go into depression,have suicidial tendencies,suffer nervous breakdowns,and so on.
For any students who slogs all through the year to make to his/her dream College this is not what he/she expects right at the onset of College Life.

Ragging is no more a 'cool' thing to do.
It is high time that we wake up and realise the seriousness of the problem and set hard punishment for anyone who indulges in ragging.

Delhi: Dilli meri jaan

Well for someone like me who has been born and brought up in Delhi,living in any other city is out of question.I just love my city and why not.It has everything that a metropolitan city should have and apart from all the developement we do have a rich cultural past which is still intact in Purani Dilli.I'm sure no other city can boast of such a thing.

So whether its the metro or the dtc,we indeed have a very good transport system.Delhi University which attracts student from not only all parts of India but also the world,is a jewel in our crown.

I also beleive that like all cities,Delhi too has its problems.The insane traffic,the BRT,road rage,CRIME,Killer Blueline Buses

While the concept of a BRT Corridor was a good one,somewhere things went wrong in its implementation.So,while it was made to ease out the traffic by providing for separate lanes for each kind of vehicle,it actually serves the opposite purpose.

EXAM TYM

With the Delhi University Internal Exams on,I decided to pour my thoughts over it.I am in the first year of college myself and its the first tym that I am giving this Exam,so my thoughts are jst mine.There's of course some bit of info which I have obtained from others mainly seniors.So,all in all its a Students perspective .With its inception in 2003,it became a highly debatable topic.The Final Exams which are held in April rather than being a 100 marks paper is actually a 75 marks paper and the rest 25 marks are given to internal assesment.These are further broken down to 10 + 10 + 5 which means 10 for the exams,10 for assignments and 5 for attendance.
Well,the idea is not bad,I think there are certain problems in the way it is implemented.Firstly there's the attendance bit,which is according to me quite unjustified.I mean there are students who hardly attend classes,but at the tym of marks for the attendance,they get marks sometimes more than us.Whether we like it or not but there's a lot of favourism and favouritism which happens during these internals.So,it just depends on your rapport with your teachers.
