Crystal Ball

There are some of these times in life wen u'd give just anything to go into a certain point in the future...
Bas... lemme just see the results of my boards... nuthing else...
Bas... lemme just see if i'll get a 60% in my engg aggregate.. nuthin else..
Bas... lemme just see if i'll get through the first job interview on campus...
Bas... lemme just see if i'll get 700+ on my GMAT...
Bas... lemme just see if i'll get a call from ISB...
Bas..........................


And every time u feel there has never been something this important in ur life.. never ever have u to wanted that time machine so badly... and are somehow convinced that there wont be another event in ur life which will ever be so defining.... and so... if amitabh bacchan came to u and said.. tumhaari aakhri lifeline (bhavishyavani) baaki hain... would u take it now????

This blog took shape cos i found a poem i'd written many yrs ago... So here goes...

Crystal Ball

The sun was shining high up in the sky,
Nature was mirth herself today,
When lo behold! The storm came by,
Such grief beyond the skies I say!
If only I knew, if only I knew,
I would've carried an umbrella too!

Tossing and turning in the night was he,
He'd waited so long for this day,
How wonderful she'd look, his bride to be,
Would she change her mind, would he be wed?
If only he knew, if only he knew,
Till death he'd wear the sweaters she'd sew!

Into the night he'd walked away,
Hailing from a family of sailors as he did,
Like his father, would he too betray,
Would she be cursed to put upon him the lid?
If only she knew, If only she knew,
Forty more years the same she'd view.

A vision before us to show us the way,
Wish there was some magic to throw some light,
Upon the mysteries that haunt us today,
That, before the light flickers our wrongs be right.
If only we knew, if only we knew,
To the meaning of life we'd bid Adieu!

Adieu to you :)
