The tomorrow that never did come.

Once, in the deep wilderness,
there was a small town called "Hackalunool"
there, on a little road crossing through the dwellings,
was a horse with a golden harness,
pulling a buggy returning from school.
and amongst it's members, was our little Miss Jennings.

Our little Miss was only of seven,
living in her own little heaven,
Merry as every other child around her,
Around soch little pleasures, about which grown -ups failed to bother.

She had but one little wish,
that she conveyed to her old man wise,
that they go together once to fish,
and on the banks, watch the sun rise.

Her old man gleefully had said,
"Dear, i'll take you tommorow"
and merry as a christmas chant,
But a month later, lying in her bed,
dear Miss Jennings was in sorrow,
cause they had never went.

Reminded him she had often,
but he always said "tommorow"
wondered she, The day will come when?
or will they ever go?

An unknown time later,
all kids in the town did gather,
to discuss their woe,
that there came no tommorow.

Is it true that the adults forgot,
many promises, little occasions, important events
in their busy lives,
Or may be they did not,
but just kept them on postponenet,
because of their busy lives.

Miss Jennings and her friends, wished and wondered,
if that the adults sat for a while, and pondered,
will The tommorow ever come?
and they felt a little lonesome.

Waiting, for the tommorow that never did come,
the tommorow that never did come.

We win: Score- 50 to Nil

Its approximately 2:30 in the night. As a routine affair, a bus that had started from a small town known as pink city at 11:30 stopped at a midway on its route to the National capital. There were 36 people in that bus including the officials.

After a fairly routine break, 35 of us were back, one wasn't.
His companion was asked to call him. Within moments, amongst widespread confusion, the companion ran away, even leaving his shoes behind.

In the face of events that have happened in this region of the world in the past few months, this was a cause of worry. All the remaining 34 people got down.

They tried to check if anything is wrong, the didn't find any.

Now the big question, whether to get back on the bus and move on with our journey or not?

comes a voice..."Jo chk karna tha kar liya...baki bhagwaan apne saath hai"

34 passengers one by one...each of whom could have been terrorised, scared to death of coming anyway near that bus, climbed back in.

People of all religions, all castes, all sections of the society.

That is straight 34 goals in the match against terrorism. They fail their basic purpose. They cannot scare us. They cannot stop us from believing in our Gods.

BAM!! We are 34 - nil up!!!

There was one here, who was found smoking rite outside the bus. The people of the bus confront him politely that its 3rd of october 2008, which means u cant do that here. He understands and the fumes are gone.

We are progressing...they cant halt us...!!
We can think about our social progress even in such times...

BAM!!..that another 10 goals to them...

We are 44 - nil up!!!

There was a bunch of drunk kids at the end of the bus. Not one of the other passengers sought to voice his opinion that they were anything other than just that. A bunch of unruly kids.
They can't rid of our trust for our chidren.

BAM!!..that another 5!!

49 - nil up

For the remaining 2 hours of travel, not one accusatory glance. Rather, people look at each other and give that faint smile, which says...we still believe....
BAM BAM BAM..that's a big one..
We Win...50 - Nil...all the passengers reach safely and go to their homes...

Everyday, in every part of the country, we win many such matches against those who commit these acts of terror.

They coudn't stop life in any of our cities....mumbai, delhi, jaipur.....yes...unfortunately, the list is endless....but it talks of our grit..

They might scare us, they might kill some of our deared ones, and for them we shall grive, but they won't ever terrorise us...

We as a nation, will win every such duel.....always...
BAAAAAM!!!!!!

Catching at 23

An year ago, a wrote here about my catch at 21...
what is it about being 21 that makes us an adult??....i guessed if i knew, i probably would have been an adult by then...

Last week i turned 23....
I had one of my best birthdays ever, with fewer kicks, an awesome cake, some great fun....and of course the most important....friends...

I might have not resolved the catch...but i did realize that i was still a kid..who loved the cakes and the attention and the parties...who would still go out on one leg to party against all responsibility advice....so i came to this conclusion...being an adult has nothing to do with your age....at least not till 23...I guess I will wait another year to find out more...
