At a glance

Hello readers ( very sadly there are none still)......m startin a new series...considering how irregular i am, not a good idea.....but sumthing new is atleast better than nothing (seriously monotony is torture).........
what is " At a Glance" about......it's about my opinion of the world around me and what i catch of it through a glance at the various e-papers, news headlines and internet....it's my take at what's happening, might be hillarious, sarcastic, serious......jst about whatever i feel.

Reader's are welcome to put down there comments.

P.S.- all opinions are my personal views, and are not intended to hurt anyone's sentiments....with the assumption that each one of us is entitled to our opinions and we live in a civilized world with freedom of expression.

An open Question.....

Hi everyone........i knw this is a bit late....but better late than never.........so i am askin this question adressed to every Indian....

. What do we vote for people......

Parties?
Candidates?
Regions?
Religion?
Caste??
Issues that concern us?

I personally would like to vote for candidates who address issues affecting us and are capable of coming up with solutions, rather people who harp about caste, religion or region and are ready to dump an Indian who needs better infrastructure, good roads, clean water, education and job opportunities based on qualifications rather reservations,clean enviornment, better fuel conservation and improved rural and agriculture scene into d bin.


please put forward your opinions and suggestions.......so that may be by the next elections we can put before our dear netajis a comprehensive list o' what their janta (electorate) wants out of them.....and hold them accountable.


Waiting for your response...........................

TWO YEARS LATER

HAS no one said those daring
Kind eyes should be more learn’d?
Or warned you how despairing
The moths are when they are burned,
I could have warned you, but you are young,
So we speak a different tongue.

O you will take whatever's offered
And dream that all the world's a friend,
Suffer as your mother suffered,
Be as broken in the end.
But I am old and you are young,
And I speak a barbarous tongue.

this is the sequel to the previous poem......through this series of poems yeats beautiful traces the course of life from childhood with it's plenties to youth with it's dreams and dares and age with it's experience and fears.

To a Dancing child in the wild by Y.B. Yeats

DANCE there upon the shore;
What need have you to care
For wind or water's roar?
And tumble out your hair
That the salt drops have wet;
Being young you have not known
The fool's triumph, nor yet
Love lost as soon as won,
Nor the best labourer dead
And all the sheaves to bind.
What need have you to dread
The monstrous crying of wind?

this is a poem titled " To a dancing child in the wind"..........it beautifully captures the innocence and joys of childhood in just a few lines..hope you enjoy.

this was a beautiful life quote i came across

how far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged,sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of weak and strong.beacause someday in life u will have been all of this.

i hav never read better words of wisdom.

hey......m bck with the quotes.....todays quote...i found this under the section of life quotes....and i had to read thru a whole lot o' them before i came across this on---
we make a living by what we get,and we make a life by what we give.------Winston churchill.

I got this idea today.....we come across quotes everyday....some monumental and some inconsequential....some funny,some absurd......i'll post a couple o' quotes everyday with my feelings about them.......readers are welcome to share the opinions too.

Speak when you are angry----and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.--------Laurence J. Peter.

When anger rises, think of consequences.--------Confucius

true enough...... in school once a teacher told me.....whenever u get angry....avoid doing whatever comes to your mind just then.....keep it in mind...start mulling over the idea......since then i have tried doing that.....and it works......'cuz by the time my thought process ends....my anger evaporates or seems inconsequential......and i have als worked a solution to the cause of anger, so i don' get a chance to get angry again......:)
