From There 2 Here....

Growing away from friends is one of the hardest parts of growing up... mostly because the fault lies on our own side for losing touch with each other. Once my closest friend asked me how we had managed to lose touch.. This was my response to him.



He asked me how we fell apart?
He asked me who is at fault?
He can't actually remember,
When we went from here to there?
He asked me how we got from here to there?
And I said "I will answer it for you",
Though perhaps it was not the way he wanted me to.

We got from there to here,
On the clouds traveling through our dreams...
We got from there to here,
When the silence faded between us...
We got from there to here,
When we started believing a dream to be stronger,
than the forces that was keeping us apart...

And we were right then.
We stood in one of the best relations to the earth,
A relation called "friendship"...
We stood in a relation even envied by the Gods,
A relation called "buddies"...
We stayed in a promise that was all too beautiful,
A promise called "companionship"...
You see, we were Alive then
We still are,but altogether for a different reason...


Then,
We got from here to there,
when we started to believe reality to be stronger than love...
We got from here to there,
when we forgot that gravity held no hold on our souls...
We got from here to there,
when we left our dreams and got into real life shoes...

And now I do not know my world,
Even though I am all surrounded,
I can't find my friends,
And the beauty of life dies,
Shut out in the coldest of lies.

But I believe we can get from there to here,
If we just believe in each other...
And I believe we can get from there to here,
If we just take each others hands...
And I believe we can get from there to here,
If only in our dreams, we dream to be together again,

I whispered this to him,
When you're staring across the sky,
Somewhere between those stars and the moon,
Look for me by your side,
I'll meet you with hands outstretched,
Then we'll go - from here to there,
there to here, and back again.

What's Happening....Who is to blame...II

Old players are saying it should be dealt this way or that way... but I guess when you are not in their shoes(Soldier's) you can say anything...Those who lay down their lives are really brave.. But they are being treated in a way that they wud themselves be ashamed if they were alive... The common Police man... Poor guy.. Govt. is too much worried about the economy that they are building infrastructure like anything but our old Police infrastructure is still the same... I can say it cent percent if the Police had got better weapons, better Armour, better equipments for self defense and communications, then the toll wud have been may be around 10% of what it is now.Even with those outdated equipments they are willing to jump into the scene and lay down their lives shows how courageous they are, how determined they are.. I salute them,but these bloody politicians instead of making things better they wanna ride on this sentimental Patriotic feeling just to get back into politics.. shame on them..

I really appreciate the Karkare's family for rejecting Narendra Modi's offer of One crore.. Politicians are trying to measure the value of life of a martyr.. how cheap...No matter how much crore's gov spend or donate to the family who lost a son/daughter nothing is gonna change for the family.. they will still cry abt their loss.....Still their sacrifices are wasted.. When will People learn about life?When will Media think in terms of loss rather profiting from loss? Last but not least when will govt. take a stiff stand against the terrorism and provide the basic infrastructure to the armed Police n Military? Dunno still they blame each other?When will they stop that "Pushing Responsibility Away" game? We need answers to all of these...

Just look around you.. You will find for last few days suddenly the country has come alive.. everyone is talking about what everyone shud do and what cud have been done.. the age old Indian method.. Crying over the spilled milk..(or in malayalam "Chattha kuttiyude jathakam vayyikyukha")... Now notice this, this conversations will cease as soon as the cricket starts or some other issue comes up.. In simple words we need constant reminders like this that wud remind us that we are Indians first..So sad.. I dont find any wrong in the statement of Dy CM quoting "This small incidents do happen in big cities like mumbai". Can anyone point out whatz wrong in that. Sorry I cant see any casualness in that statement.. I am not supporting him but I am not against the statement. He said what every common man has to say(other than who lost someone they know). Why?? because until and unless you loose someone you will carry on as if nothing happened.

Each and every year new attacks and incidents take place..They are the real wake up calls for a week or so.. then again we all willl go into that old habit of sleeping, until our own home catches fire....(Ariyathey pilla choriyambole ariyoo)You will never know how it feels until you go thru that feeling... Isn't it true?? Think about it....but dont limit it to thinking only.. Be Vigilant..Be aware of what's happening around and be ready to help Police and others...
