first of a kind!
Ohk..so i was thinking what to post on my blog after a long absence (attributed to test, fest and anything else that comes to your mind, which rhymes and can be considered a valid reason), and after 'not really an intense’ brain storming session, i decided to post the poem that i wrote for the Creative Writing contest in my fest. This poem i wrote for the elims of the contest and it did make through to the final 6, so i am assuming i will not feel stupid after posting it. But before the poem here are the rules to which we were supposed to abide to..
Rules: basically we were given 3 lines. We had to choose one line out of them to be the 1st line of our poem, one to be the last line and the 3rd was to be the theme of the poem. We were given 2 hours to do so, and i came up with this…
(its easy to guess 2 of the 3 lines that we were given because obviously they would be the 1st and last line of my poem…but see if you can guess the third line..!!)
So here goes..
I would also like to add that this poem is not inspired by any person that i can recall of and neither are these the thoughts that actually go through my mind, infact these would perhaps be the last thoughts i might think, it was just for the sake of the competition that i wrote i So hope you enjoyed and please comment whether or not you like it! Guesses for third line are also welcome!
"Fair is foul, and foul is fair
I lived on those lines, I lived against the rare,
As i forgot for what i am here
Who is it that can tell me who i am?
Am i the one with the sting of the serpent,
Mocking those who accepted me as their servant,
Why is it then, that my heart has repent
Who is it that can tell me who i am?
Am i the one they consider pure?
Who are deceived by my false sense of cure,
Why then am i not sure?
Who is it that can tell me who i am?
Am i the one who was always with them?
Giving a reality to what they dreamt
Why is it then that i cannot be content?
Who is it that can tell me who i am?
Am i the one who gave them the solution?
To the problems formed in the smoke of my brain’s pollution,
Why is it,the that my soul is in the way of a drive of demolition
Who is it that can tell me who i am?
Am i the one who they think i am,
Or am i the one i think i am not?
Am i the one who they all see?
Or am i the one who i think i might be?
Why cant i understand my inner call,
Why cant i face the people on whom i stroll,
Conscience does make cowards of us all."

change is here!
ohk so back to blog after a month or so filled with excitement..but i'm not here to describe all that..i realized that people arent really going to keep checking my blog to know about my experiences..i mean come on they have theirs to boast about..so from apart from mentioning about my life experience ,i’m also gonna write about other general stuff..stuff i feel merits an opinion..and it could be anything..simply anything..so please comment on everything..good or bad...but preferably good..(just kidding, bad comments always welcome)
some of you might have noticed the change in my blog template..that’s to keep up with my idea of change..and as i was uploading the template i thought "why is this necessary?" "why is change necessary" (okay i thought about it before, not while uploading)..and i am not talking about change from 70’s t0 80's to 90's and generations and all...thats obvious..thats evolution. im talking about change that isnt necessary...as in things would keep on going just as well as they were without change occuring. change would just affect the usual process..in a negative or a positive way..
i mean, i changed to increase the traffic on my blog. i know people would argue that the if your content is good, it'd automatically increase traffic...but then why did godrej and videocon changed their years old logo..? even shoppers stop went for a more simple, subtle logo and shedded away with its previous flamboyant one. psycoanalysts say that by changing the logo the brands sent out a message to their customers claiming that the brand was still alive and working for better products. infact sales figures clearly showed the positive affect it had on the brands. infact if i am not wrong godrej is currently in a profit (cant confirm this).
but change is not always positive. look at microsoft. they first launched xp which was one of the most brilliant products ever by microsoft. they were thriving on that when they came up with vista, and the trouble began. it turned out to be one of the most disastrous products for mirosoft. so a product which they launched to compete against the growing popularity of linux kinda backfired. and now to rectify that mistake,MS is now launching win 7 which looks promising but like other MS products, its too early to say. Infact, it just came to my mind, the MS-google rivalry. google launching an OS and microsoft coming up with a search engine...its all about competition though ultimately benefitting us. but both are venturing into new fields and dimensions. i suppose thats how growth occurs. can you imagine tata's ambanis's so successful if they had stuck with one line of products? No, because someone someday would eventually come up with something better.
a person's interest in anything wears out soon. if we dont change to keep them interested in us, we end up doomed. maybe doomed is a strong word but you get the idea. take the example of social networking sites. orkut created a rage..almost everyone from kids to teachers joined orkut..and it was going great until facebook came along and ruined things for orkut. facebook gave a whole new world to discover for the users. and now its twitter which forces people to sum up in 140 words....facebook still stayed in the race because of the quizzes and new games that they launched but orkut refused to change and the outcome is quite clear. orkut went down as quicky as it came up.infact in times such as the present recesiion it becomes all the more important to change to deal with change in economy and even with respect to environment. We need to change to prevent greater changes happening later.
i request you to scroll up and see the title of my post..ringing any bells?? exactly! barrack obama! his entire election campaign centred around the single word 'change'. needless to say it worked for him and today he enjoys the most powerful post in the world. i believe change in everything is very necessary to keep yourself in competition on, to keep up in the race, to keep up in life. and to deal with change occuring elsewhere is equally necessary, "who moved my cheese" was a great book i read about dealing with change and its consequences.
