In pursuit of dreams




Not so long ago, I traversed a path pebbled though clear
and towards a distant yet distinct future I did steer.
Then the black clouds shrouded and black rain fell
blackening all perceptions of the goal I held. 
And thus were darkened all my dreams, my hopes,
as I try to sail down a pitch black tunnel devoid of any rope
that could guide me through these waves
of uncertainties and despair that shake my soul with no hermit to save
my self tormented by the wounds inflicted by my own skepticism
Just the belief of a better tomorrow helped me crawl in pursuit of my dreams.

Dilli Diary

"For all its faults we love this city." - The city of Djinns The thought of spending a couple weeks in Delhi in mid-April is something most people would dread and yet, I was brimming with excitement and anticipation. To me, it presented an opportunity to break away from the monotonic work culture of Bangalore and to reminisce about the old days with my college wing-mate in the city I  once used to call my second home. Now, while sitting in my return flight to Bangalore,  I am penning down my memoir of this trip to Delhi.  Heat, Warmth and Hotheads Summer heat was the first thing I sensed after stepping out of my flight in Delhi. This experience completely wiped out whatever tranquil effect was lingering on from the mesmerising aerial view of the city from my flight- ’ The floating island of lights in the sea of darkness' . I estimated the temperature in Delhi at the moment - validated it using the Accuweather app and registered the fact that Delhi nights wer

What is earned report? - The First Five

I have been reading aggressively for past one month with an aim of completing 50 books in an year. I have been reading a book per week and have completed 5 books till now.  I think it is a good time to log what I have learnt from these books.

Understanding operating memory can help us in developing products that can reduce cognitive load of the user. Perception is highly flexible.    The Mosaic Principle - 2.5/5 Generalists do have a significant part to play in the society driven madly towards specialisation. A T-shaped Model of working depth in one sector and transferrable skills from other sector could be a reasonable model fo

Missing link in dream and reality

"I desire things that will destroy me in the end" -- Sylvia Plath While looking out of my balcony, I can always spot a single star in the sky. Probably with the pollution level in Bangalore , the dim ones are hard to spot. If it was southern sky, I could bet it was Sirius. But I don't know what direction it is in and I am too lazy to make any efforts to find out. Moreover the name of the star does not matter. However, it has a similar symbolic significance for me as green light had Fitzgerald's Gatsby. A dream well conceived , clearly visualised and yet beyond grasp. A dream thoroughly cherished and yet unattained. This brings me to another haunting question. How do people start dreaming whatever they start dreaming about? Frankly, it's Gatsby who comes to rescue. Gatsby's dream incidentally was a outcome of exposure to the girl( I wish I remembered her but I don't even care about finding right now) .   We can't dream of things we cannot envisage. I
