The Bitter Revelation

A hope got shattered
The anxiety is gone....
The curiosity's been killed...
Now that the suspense is revealed !

It's not that I am sad
but neither I am happy
I shouldn't have built the castle of hopes...
I shouldn't have acted crazy!

Lucky is the one whom you have chosen...
Lucky is the one whom you have loved !
I wish you were in love with me,
I wish my stars were propitious enough !

Examination Phobia

My exams are very near
And my poor heart is bulging out of fear
I'm forgetting whatever i knew
I don't know what to do.
My nights are now full of nightmares
Mornings come without any cheer...
I've to study so many lessons ...
Oh God ! I'm forgetting the answers,
I remember only the questions.
How I hate this examination!
That makes my colourful life
Full of tension; devoid of any recreation.
The horror of examination haunts me every year
Oh God ! Please help me
To overcome this fear.

Ode to the soldiers
Close your eyes for sometime
and think for a moment...dear friends...
Think about the soldiers ...
Who are struggling at the border...
For the sake of their countrymen......
Do we feel their pain??Do we feel their sorrow...
They give their today....For our better tomaorrow...
Our Nation's hopes lie on them...
We too must do something for them...
So let's pray to God...
Let's pray for their safety...
Let's pray for our contry's victory!
