The Untouchable

All this pain that I bear

Is really for the fear

That I would be forgotten one day!


All the effort that I put in

Is but for the longin’

That I be remembered.


This quest for perfection

That I‘ve undertaken

There is no looking back.


In my heart I know

Too much I ask of myself,

But there is no lookin’ back now.


Ah! You’re so busy with your own bloody self

But temme when you really think about it

Would I be the best?


A smile, a frown or a yawn

What do I get bein’ all alone!

When it's all over

Would you love me when ‘m gone?


Would I rise through your memories?

Like a lighthouse among the luminaries

Far beyond the reach,

Would I ever be The Untouchable!

About me??

A hero has faced it all: he need not be undefeated, but he must be undaunted.--Andrew Bernstein
A hero is someone we can admire without apology.--Unknown
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.--Joseph Campbell
Aspire rather to be a hero than merely appear one.--Baltasar Gracian
I want to be a Hero. The word has for long been out of fashion. The time has come. --Lokendra Kaushik

Recent Addition(thnx to trips)--In the name of the best within you, do not sacrifice this world to those who are its worst. In the name of the values that keep you alive, do not let your vision of man be distorted by the ugly, the cowardly, the mindless in those who have never achieved his title. Do not lose your knowledge that man's proper estate is an upright posture, an intransigent mind and a step that travels unlimited roads. Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it's yours. --Unknown

Well hows that for an about me on orkut..[:D]

At 1 A.M in the night!

It is strange how you feel when the light goes out. You haven’t slept for the past 2 days. It’s very hot, despite the mild showers today, in fact it has made the weather humid for the worse. You are sweating badly, and as if it was already not hot enough the laptop’s base is almost burning, you can feel your thighs melting away. And the worst part is yet to be told, the mosquitoes, your all-out is all used up, it wouldn’t have mattered anyway; the power cut doesn’t let it. They would sing songs right in your ears, all at a time. You wouldn’t know whom to pay attention to. Reminds you of the elves in fantasy epics. Only, the mosquito songs, understandably, are a bit annoying.
And so you come out of your room to the balcony. A cool breeze is blowing, the heat just seems to disappear, you wonder why do you ever sleep in the room, which is baked in sunlight the whole day long. Just when the feel good factor starts settling in, you face the reality, the MOSQUITOES. Yes they are back and quite with a bang. With almost double in numbers and more active, if that was not enough some other smaller insects are amused by the laptop screen. No matter how hard you try to fend off the mosquitoes they would come at you from different angles, with different velocities and sometimes with different songs. They insist that they give you a love-bite, and sadly the choice is not left to you. But you persist(not that you have any choice, but still to your credit you persist) , each time they come at you, you shoo them away or sometimes kill them, satisfied and delighted with the job just done, your chest swells with pride, you feel as if you are a gr8 ancient warrior, straight out of Sparta, adept at battle techniques; but then you think even a Spartan would have a tough time fighting these mosquitoes, no strategy he could think of would work against them, they are just too many, the Spartan like always is outnumbered. And so there is glory in fighting them.
So you give all your heart and soul into the battle. After several quantams of 10 minutes, a street light glows, another, yet another, oh my god, it’s for real, the power cut has been cut off. Oh yeah this place doesn’t experience power cuts but rather experiences power-cut-cuts. You are delighted at the welcome change. You think now you would start your work, but just as your laptop boots up your gaze fall at the bottom right of the screen, time! It’s time to go to bed, if you are to be awake any longer it would mean 3 days without proper sleep, you start thinking are you getting insomaniac? Don’t know, but I don’t fancy the condition, so off to sleep now.

Questions

Questions amuse me quite a lot. You see you can ask questions about anything and everything. Here is my pathetic attempt at playing with words.

Do I know u?
Does it make a diff.?
Why should I believe it doesn’t?
You want to believe it does. Don’t you?
But who are you?
Again, why do you bother?
Why should I talk to you?
You know the answer don’t you?
How do you know that?
You look so desperate. Why?
Me?
There is something that bothers you, what is it?
I wish I knew. What do you think?
Ok, do you feel like this even when you wake up?
No. Why?
Then, I think you will live. Sounds relieving?
Yeah, but was I going to die?
Hmm.., people die, ever thought why?
Why?
Because they no longer wish to live. Do you want to live?
I don’t know. Are you going to kill me?
Yes. But I can’t help it. You are going to die. Does knowing that makes you feel better?
Should it?
Ok no more questions, here you go.
And the bullet is fired…..
Muhahahahha......How is it like in hell?

The Begining!!

The Ignorant lady: All u tell is a lie. Aasan? I don’t find it aasan.
The One who knows all:

Woken up to truth you haven't yet, Miss,
You say tough, too easy it is.

The Ignorant lady: What is the truth? Why don’t I find it easy.
The One who knows all:

Apprenticed by fear, pathetic you
Know that the world is ruled by a learned few
False the notion is, Ignorance is bliss
Tough they say too easy it is.

Shun this ferocious fear, fly free
Clogged your vision is, you see,
Knowledge is the golden key
Self analysis the way must be.
Fear is the path to the dark side
Said by Yoda is this
Tough they say, too easy it is.

The Ignorant lady: I don’t understand what you are talking of. Fear?
The One who knows all:

Originates in your mind, when wrong you do
Surrender to weaknesses, when poor you
Better you can be, push the limits
Tough it might seem, too easy it is, in fact!!

Lokendra
