Stop Running !

No, i cannot take it anymore.
Tell the seas to make less noise..
The pitch of noise is killing me
Ask the world to maintain the poise.

Everything is silent now
My voice is echoing all around...
The water is warm, the tides are low
Still rest is nowhere to be found.

I go to my friends,
I cry my heart out for peace to yearn...
No one listens, no one cares
I am again left restless with not a single concern.

Alone i am in the whole wide world
Running away from from one end to another...
I have to stop, i have to understand
That peace lies inside me, i have to discover..

Now i am relaxed,as i know the cause
Running away from myself was my fault...
I decide to get up, i decide to be calm
God is inside me,Thus, i have no harm!

Guilt

I can vouch that this is the most irritating emotion in the world - The feeling of GUILT.
It happens to me so often that after doing something, which i believe is right, this emotion pops up out of nowhere . A recent example is - My sister was about to visit my place at 6'o clock, and i was about to leave office at 5:45 PM, when suddenly my manager came to my seat and in his usual tone said "Mansi lets discuss about the XYZ issue". Now, what could i do..my sister was waiting outside my house and she did not even have the keys to open the main door...
Unlike a politically correct answer, i replied to my manager that "My sister is waiting for me, i cannot meet right now".
Well, he understood and left...but with his leaving came a stupid feeling of guilt in me.
I should have said that in a polite manner, i should have asked my sister to wait a bit longer, i should have this and i should have that. Thousands of sentences were comming to my mind, all wrapped in the feeling of guilt!
Logically thinking, what i said was right , but i could have handled the situation in a better manner.
Well, this may sound like a trivial example, but then a question arrises - Is being logically correct right or being politically correct right?
The advantage with the later is that in this option, we remain blessed as GUILT remains out of the scene...

School top ten

Everyone used to say that school days are the best days in one's life but i used to laungh at it when i was in school. I was just sitting at home right now when some of those days flashed in my mind. Wanted to share some wired things which i remember of my school days....

1. Test assessments to be signed by parents otherwise we will not be allowed to write the next test.
2. "Home work not complete" to write 100 times in school diary.
3. Bunking P.T. class in the lower common room.
4. Eating tiffin in the history class while sitting in the last bench.
5. Copying Maths assignment in the first period and getting a good in that assignment.
6. Standing at the back of the class if forgot to bring the Map in the geography period.
7. Searching madly for calculators in the other sections when maths test in the next period
8. Back calculating the readings in Lab copy.
9. verifying the answers in half a minute while submitting the test copy.
10.A bunch of students humming at the back of the class without opening the mouth and the teacher going mad by the sound.

All of us have our share of naughty things from school days..... but remembering thoose momets gives so much happiness later..... Missing my school days!
