Timeless Friendship

As calm as the nonchalant sea
As sweet as the nectar of pure bliss 
As pure as the sap of exotic springs
As divine as the love of gods

I see you, "My Friend" as me
Together, we saw the high tides of life
Together, we longed for the storms to pass
Yet, you stayed with me

I see you, "My Friend" as me
Together, we crossed treacherous mountains in sight
Together, we missed uncomplicated stretches at night
Yet, you stayed with me

I see you, "My Friend" as me
Together, we tasted success with might
Together, we wrecked ships in fight
Yet, you stayed with me

I see you, " My Friend'" as me
Together, we could light up lives
Together, we could relive the glory of lost time
Would you still stay with me?

Beginning in pursuit of a new end from an old end

It has been a really long time since I could get myself to blog. The period since I began performing my MSc. research thesis to now has been a story of mixed emotions. Briefly put, an extremely ambitious, challenging yet enjoyable experience. However, looking back at what I did might make me feel like I did absolutely nothing even worth mentioning. This would however be paradoxical to that period and the very act of doing. If I were to further interpolate to the period of joining my MSc., when people who would graduate seemed like angels/ gods. However, myself being on that stage, being awarded that degree seemed like a dream for just a few minutes. The next day even the sun god decided to shine light as always (without skipping even a breath!), the earth continued to revolve and rotate (much to the agony of the child in me!). Nothing really changed, neither me, nor the outside world! 

However,  if I remained unchanged it would be a total blasphemy to the degree I earned. So, maybe I did learn something. On the contrary, If I were to ask myself what I learnt, I would certainly have to think before I answer. 

I would have to say:

1. I learnt that education is a never ending tool. The only moment one actually stops educating oneself is in the death bed.
2. I learnt that human beings in spite of their zillion similarities tend to focus on the minutest of differences so as to claim themselves being different or to create problems. 
3. I learnt that no human being can be higher or lower than anyone. No one deserves more respect or less respect.
4. I learnt that things can suddenly go completely wrong even on no wrong doing from one's side. It can be frightening to know that you can't do anything about it also. A little light in the dark tunnel would be to muster courage and keep going ahead.
5. I learnt that every university/organization believes that it is the best in the world. This ego could be a major boost for people to do an excellent job. But in reality none of this is true.
6. I learnt that I understand very little things and the day I unsubscribe to this thought would be the time mentioned in (1).
7. I learnt that the greatest thing a human being can ask for is not being "Smart" or being "Industrious" or being "Great", but being "Wise". Wisdom to me is the single most greatest thing a human being can achieve. It definitely builds up with age and experience. As much as I believe this, I pray that I take wise decisions in life.
