The Silence Bellowed

The proud prodigal son left the abode
With rage he said, "I won't ever come back."
The father watched his son strolling down the road
And stood by the window till it all turned black.

Unaware of the the awaited danger,
he went to the hotel and reserved a room. 
And as he stared at the ocean,
he let his thoughts march into the gloom.

The night was of twenty-six eleven,
News flashed and the city echoed
The son called up his father, 
No words were spoken, just the silence bellowed.

The unspoken words still remain  a mystery
but they both understood each other's silence. 
He didn't like to be a part of this history,
he thought, as he heard the distant sirens.

Soon entered a man and stood in front,
holding a gun in his right hand.
The son stood fearless as he knew,
By his father, he will always be manned. 

The building that used to stand tall with grace
Facing the sky with utmost pride.
Now, stood shattered with no trace
of mercy, just like an abandoned wedding bride.  

Google turns 18.

Ever imagined your life without this beautiful soul? Ahh! you would dare not.
Helping us graduate or connecting with friends, being a dictionary or fetching us a news, saving our important documents or reminding us of the big dates, locating restaurants or stalking people(yeah we all do that xP), GOOGLE has done it all. 

So it's time to repay the love and take a moment to appreciate its importance in our busy lives.

Thank you for being a true friend.

So I, Kritika Shukla, hereby thank Google for it's 18 years of selfless and faithful service. May you live long and continue to serve us as the way you do. Happy Birthday Google Doodle :)

What If?

What if the they believed in imperfection,  
What if they believed in flaws?
No hatred and no deception,     
No labyrinth of claws.

What if our fears and dreams
did not exist together?
One would be autumn blues,
Spring morn would be another.

What if we live more than once, 
unlike what they say?
Maybe we do,
growing up all the way.

What if it doesn't work out?
Ah, but what if it does?
What If?

Freedom.

I was reading 'The Zahir' written by Paulo Coelho. He says, "Freedom is not having the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose and commit myself to what is best for me."
People say it is easier to talk than to write. Maybe yes, but when it comes to talking about your goals, your commitments, your dreams..sometimes they are so big or so unexpected that you are even afraid to talk to yourself about it. But you know what, no one except you actually needs to know what you dream about. It's you who have to decide your future, your tomorrow. Just work in solitude and let your success do the talking.
Don't hide away. Don't lead a simple life. Welcome all kinds of adventures, cherish all the difficulties and troubles. The universe is there to give you the strength and potential to fight against them. Fight with all the difficulties and negativities that come between you and your goal.
Choosing our 'freedom' that's our job. Nobody else does that for us.
Make your commitments. Set your goals. Encounter negativities. And people, Dare To Dream!

** P.S: Paulo Coelho always manages to inspire his readers. Do read this book- 'The Zahir'.

Dreams don't work unless you do.

Coding Side Effects

Well..I was just coding in java and I recalled something funny from my 12th class. I had my computer science board exam the next day so I stayed up late at night while going through my chapters.
It seemed like studying programming at night showed its effects in my dream.
I had this weird dream..
   if ( Mummy will try to wake me up )
      {
         cout<<"I will not wake up";
       }
    else if ( Papa will wake me up )
      {
         cout<<"I will wake up";
      }
but Oh this evil universe! My mother was continuously trying to wake me up and I kept telling her to stop because it won't work. Fear of not waking up and getting late for my last board exam gave me a shriek. But my mother didn't stop. I almost imagined myself failing my 12th class but then fortunately when she got tired my father came and started scolding me for not waking up even when my mother was shouting for like 20 mins and I woke up hearing his very first word. I swear I have never been so happy.
Later I told them what was actually going on and they laughed. Well..I didn't like it. I was in a mental trauma xP
But now when I recall it I laugh.
So, now I never forget to read at least one chapter from a novel before going to bed. It's better to be in a novel story than to be in a programmed dream, you know.


I shared my funniest dream. What's yours amigos? :D

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I was going through my whatsapp contacts list this evening and kept scrolling it down till the end and I just realized that only six seven people among those are the ones who really matter (yeah, I know it took me long to realize that xD)

When I talk to my fellowmates, a very general thing they say, "ah! no, not in touch anymore..just 2 3 friends left from school".
Schools change. Life change. Friends change, But then there are some 'buddies' who stay with you no matter what. Even if you meet them after months or like year they are still the same. Accepting as who you are, all your flaws and mental defects!
So this one for all those who have been there in my ups and downs. Yes you know who you are ;')

P.S;- This is the effect of watching the last episode of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Otherwise, Me? This? NO No No NO!
Thankyou FRIENDS <3 Kudos!

Alan Rickman

Alan Sidney Patrick Rickman aka Severus Snape (in Harry Potter) died yesterday at the age of 69. What a sad day. This man was very well known for his work on screen and stage.
Unlike his sarcastic and cold hearted exterior in Harry Potter (for which he is mostly known) he was a very kind and a generous man. Truly justifies why it is known as 'acting'.
He was the part of the most loved movie, which we have grown watching since our childhood.

Always.

You'll always be remembered sir :)
