Competition, zeal, success, excellence are some of the words that strike us instantly, if we are to think of todays so-called life. All through our adolescent years, the emphasis is solely on these words. Maybe they serve well to pervert us from the usual traits, very characteristic of those charismatic years; from the plethora of thoughts in the young minds - some prodigal, some tender, some mature, som wishful, some naughty. But is that not the way it is supposed to be?? One's got to be naive to choose not to say that those years are the most satisfying and enthralling ones ever.
Today we're giving a lot of impetus to being environment friendly and to proactively deal with pollution and such stuff. For all our so-called maturity and complexity, how do we miss to understand the simple laws of nature, which are quintessential for our very existence.
Streamlining our thoughts, making them unidirectional - not letting our intellect explore the unknown horizons of our own self, as is the case today, what about that?? Is it not pollution?? Don't we need to oblige mother nature in this front too?? Career orientation must be a priority, not a constraint. More than focussing on being successful and looking for excellence, we need to try and develop into complete and accomplished humans in the true sense of word and deeds. We need to live every small experience to its fullest.
This poem presents the musings of a successful person, in deep retrospect.
in my quest for excellence
i was forced to sacrifice
sacrifice things considered petty
yet so very essentially dear
in my quest for excellence
i could'nt build relationships
relationships utterly fragile
yet so very exclusively important
in my quest for excellence
i had to dwindle my priorities
priorities seemingly silly
yet having the multitudes of life
in my quest for excellence
i simply lost my life
a life of going-to-live
a life never really lived
now i wonder what excellence really is
is it discovering happiness in life
or discovering life in happiness itself
happiness so arrogantly elusive to me

Well well Kiran....truly profound thoughts.A reason to celebrate is that you are proud of our country.If only this notion,sticks in every Indian's mind, that not to criticize the nation rather be party to make it strong and happening, can change the face of Our country.Being innovative takes courage, which we lack due to our responsibilities towards our family, but people should live to their dreams, keeping faith in themselves and motherland.
The brain drain scenario has changed....and thanks to the awakening of europeans and americans, that we are taking away their jobs.
On your writing..am just spellbound, and using dictionary.com :P.
On the poem u wrote...stirs me too, trying to get success, sometimes i too have let go of small and simple joys of life.Keep it up.
