"I".......

Now this is for the first time that i have written something like this, a poem sort of a thing, and i dont exactly know how well have i fared in my attempt. Well to be honest this attempt of mine is motivated by a masterpiece that i read recently in an "About me" column on orkut. Well friends just go through it and do leave a comment, for i want to know how gud a poet i am. May be that would decide whether i could make an increment to the list of features which is often refer to as my character traits, like when i say "I am a ...................." or should i only open my bloggers mouth to embellish this hallowed space with my favourite anecdotes. So here it goes.....

"I"........

Sitting alone in this small cubicle of mine,
Staring continuously at the laptop all the time,
thoughts flooded across my mind,
and took me to the past that i had once left behind.


How good and studious i was,
always came first in all my class,
was a cynosure of everyones eye,
but never really discovered who actually was "I".
Days went by, years passed by,
but never really discovered who actually was "I".


Then came a day when i actually found out,
a place called IIT, which many like me sought,
Diligent i was, so never had any problem,
IIT was in my bag, and I became a champion.
Thougth for a while that i finally discovered "I",
but realized very soon it wasn't that "I",
Days swept by, years rolled by,
Still trying to figure out who actually am "I".


A thousand smiling faces i see everyday,
and i wonder myself are they really happy and gay,
Then comes the questions that troubles me the most,
Does happiness come really at some cost??
If "Yes" is the answer, I m ready to pay for it,
For i want that "I" to be healthy,wealthy and fit.
May be then i answer the very question of "I",
Who actually am "I"??
Who actually am "I"??

May be in my next creation i answer the question over which i pondered in the above poem, or sort of a poem, or better a semi-poem, or a quarter-poem, naah u all only decide what exactly it is, but why should you all decide this.This is my space i m free to write anything, but who will read it, you all only, so comment whatever you want to, but after all that u say finally it is in my hands to decide which one to save and which to delete, but what if you all get angry........Ahhhhhhhhh i shud sleep now its 4:13 in the morning.

Gudnite or shud i say Goodmorning....naahh Alt+F4 and then Shutdown is what is required.
