3 Years of LOUD SILENCE...

3 years back on the evening of a hot and sunny Sunday, I launched my poetry collection LOUD SILENCE, in a small but personal event with close friends and family. It has been 3 long years and a journey which has been special every second. Lot has happened in last three years and lot has changed too. "Loud silence" was a collection of my feelings, my expressions when i was young, a bit immature and a bit whimsical. But life is not a piece of cake, if it presents you with offers and achievements, there are also times when it is a total wreck and gives a feeling of a sinking ship.

After the launch of my first poetry collection, i came across even more riveting, enthralling and defining moments of life. Out of a usual proclivity more than just a habit, i penned them down as poems too. And as a self-judgement i find them better and more abstruse than the previously published ones. Life always has something to teach you, and so there is always a scope of improvement. But one thing that hurts me somewhere in the corner of my heart, or rather pinches me, is the fact that as we are moving deeper into the 21st century, we are losing the insight to understand feelings. As a matter of fact, I know, that my poetry collection "Loud silence", would be kept in most of the houses in a corner, accumulating dust over the years...

But, anyways In the end i would like to thank all those people who recognized my work and appreciated it. I have received over 50 e-mails and numerous calls over the years, of known and unknown people to whom my work has reached and affected. It feels good when you get appreciated and it encourages you to write more and write better too... I aim at improving and constantly thriving towards perfection. however, support of the close ones is always necessary. thanks for making my maiden attempt successful!. I am grateful to one and all... :) :)

Adios! ... :) 

GLUTTONY - The story of My Transition...

What do you do when the first thing someone says on meeting after a few long months is, "Dude, you have put on so much weight?"...what would be your reaction when your relatives fail to recognize you and tell you, "Beta, you have grown so fat over the last few days..." ... And only thing that comes to your mind is, hey! Eureka!! I knew that...phew!...This has been my plight for the last few days because everyone person I have been meeting after my exams got over, turns my enthusiasm into guilt within seconds... though having been subject to this humiliation has made me kind of obstinate, but when the people you care about the most and the people whose opinion matters to you, tell you the same thing, you feel inflated to the extent that you just consider getting a liposuction done from the surgeon next door....

My continuous gormandizing and my recent feat of studying for long hours in the confines of my four walled room, has lead to the disaster. People see you, get shocked and instantly have loads of suggestions. every person is a qualified dietitian-cum-doctor-cum-trainer when it comes to giving advice on "how  to reduce weight". Some people go to the extent of calling it a "beer belly"!!! And my reaction is..."What!"... It would rather be a "bear belly' than a "beer belly"  guys...
Hogging has become such an irreversible habit of mine that I might literally become a "hog" soon...which thought makes me shudder with fear...

For the time being, my only aim remains to reduce my weight and come back to normal, because a "healthy body is a healthy mind"... and for that i will have to give some pain to myself. So, "Dear body, get ready to suffer some bit, because i am going to deprive you of the thing you love the most - FOOD... " ...
So, here i put my jogging shoes on, and here i go on my new stint...YO!!!
:)
Adios!
