Fear
Thought this one up while I was waiting in the long queue for a ride on a particularly crazy roller coaster wondering the whole time...why???
Fear is good
It determines how we fare
Fear is good
It often shows you care
Fear is the food
that within each nourishes courage
Fear is the food
We all eat irrespective of age
Fear is a mood
Don't ever let it fester
Fear is a mood
Don't ever let it be your master

The Weather
Hot and cold, wet and dry
Weather changes and seasons go by
It never stays, whatever you try
Each one paints a different sky
Some colors we love others we hate
Got to brave them all at any rate
There will be rain, there will be thunder
Staying inside though is the real blunder
You can hide in a burrow or peek through a window
The real fun is outside, come high or low
The trusty umbrella, favorite jacket and the sunny hat
They hold you back from running flat
They do protect you, help you travel miles
But just for fun, throw them away once a while
We cant always wait for the weather to clear
At some point we need to face our fear
We crave postcards with the picture perfect frame
But the picture without us, is still pretty lame

Questions
How, when why or what
Questions have always ruled our thoughts
Like a shining star in the universe dark
Questions ruled way before we used the mark
Why did the apple fall straight down?
What is faster, light or sound?
Questions help us define life
They also cause the most strife
How faraway are the stars in the sky?
How do fishes swim and birds fly?Questions are used to show concern
Questions are the only way to learn
When exactly does the sun rise?
How do you tell when someone lies?
Questions we should never loose
Old or young, Questions you can forever use
Did Questions start with sight of fire
Who cares, as long as they inspire
Questions never need any structure
Questions are what shape the future
Like a shining star in the universe dark
Questions ruled way before we used the mark

The Hogwarts sorting hat song
Something that makes me very happy that it turned out okay and surprised that I never thought of it till now. My very own Hogwarts sorting hat song :)
Long ago there was a group of four
All friends with a magical core
Each was great in their own right
They were all gifted with unique might
They sat together and hatched a plan
Decided to start a secret clan
Special skills each would teach
to every magical student within reach
Each wanted kids of a particular kind
made a quill so witches and wizards they could find
They made me for sorting every incoming brood
so each got a house and no one was shooed
Brave and headstrong Gryffindor
wanted courage to the core
Smart and witty Ravenclaw
wanted minds without a flaw
Sharp and cunning Slytherin
favored ambition within his kin
Kind and loyal hufflepuff
took hardworkers without a huff
You each possess skills for more than one
But deciding where to put you gives me all my fun
All these years I have rarely been wrong
There is more to me than theatre and song
There is magic in me that is centuries old
Like the enchanted ceiling above, without the dark and cold
You are here now, so don't bother to run
Put me on, and have your day in the sun

My personal list of 1000 awesome things - #1000-993
Hellllllllllllloooooooooooooooo everyone!!!!
Its certainly been a while since I have posted in this space. But I am finally back and it will stay that way I hope. While it bums me out that I haven't written anything for a while it also means I was probably a little more busy with my studies which is always good :).
While on break, I came across this really wonderful blog http://1000awesomethings.com/
Just a wonderful idea that was liked so much that the author actually received a best blog award and I certainly agree. There are innumerable wonders in this world and lucky or unlucky we get the privilege to at least witness a few of them during our lifetime. But most of us never care about the little things that are awesome and that happen around us and to us every single day.
So what I have decided is that I will make a list of my own :). It has been fun already. Now if something remotely lucky or cool happens around me I immediately put it down in my list. This noting down of little pleasures somehow makes them stay with me a little longer than they normally would and that is precisely how i like it.
So here goes....
Awesome thing #1000
Reruns of your favorite movie/TV show
May it be the latest rerun of LOTR or you might catch that FRIENDS episode on TV for a while. Good stuff in entertainment comes and goes but classics are always there. Always there to make you laugh, make you cry and in general get you out of that funk you were in. So here is to classic entertainment...
Awesome thing #999
When we don't get that exact page that would help us..how frustrating is that. But when you get the page you wanted right at the top...thats awesome.
And when your friend opens the can after you have done the evil deed with it...ohh the result..its just awesome.
We all use public transport at some point. Whether you live in a developed country where you track these things or you live in the third world where you know the time by experience....whether its cold where you stay or scorching hot....whether you are going away a few blocks or visiting another town...when we reach the bus stop just as it is arriving..that is awesome...

Youtube
Do I even need to elaborate on this one. I mean really, if you are by any unfortunate circumstance glancing at my blog, you still might be playing a song on youtube in another tab. I mean it has movies, songs, freaks and geeks, latest news and the list goes on...having a youtube page is just about as common as having a blog. I don't think I can write only a few words about this topic so I will leave it at this...Awesome thing #998
Web search on the first try
This is mostly thanks to Wikipedia I guess. I mean how many times (specially in recent times) do we just have to google anything and everything. From the latest buzzword to the most obscure facts.When we don't get that exact page that would help us..how frustrating is that. But when you get the page you wanted right at the top...thats awesome.
Awesome thing #997
A well shaken can of coke
This is like awesomeness with just a little shake on your part..literally!!!And when your friend opens the can after you have done the evil deed with it...ohh the result..its just awesome.
Awesome thing #996
When you wake up on time without the alarm clock
You set the time...you wind the clock....you set the clock in your phone...in your ipod..sometimes you put in all the precautions and it still doesn't help. But then sometimes.....you wake on your own..maybe its a bad dream...maybe its a unexpected noise....maybe its just your luck...but you turn your head to the clock and YOUR RIGHT ON TIME...to the minute...and that is awesome!!!
Awesome thing #995
A coffee with the just the right amount of cream and sugar
Coffee from your kitchen cabinet or your local coffee shop or even vending machine....there is always a little difference in the cream or sugar amounts. But sometimes....sometimes it feels just right...and that is awesome...Awesome thing #994
Conference call with friends/family all over the world
You can use any tool of your choice. Thats not important. Whats important is now you can call, hear, and even see as many of your friends/family together as possible. It really is the next best thing to them being with you..and it is awesome!!!Awesome thing #993
Reaching the bus/train stop right on time
We all use public transport at some point. Whether you live in a developed country where you track these things or you live in the third world where you know the time by experience....whether its cold where you stay or scorching hot....whether you are going away a few blocks or visiting another town...when we reach the bus stop just as it is arriving..that is awesome...
