In response to a discussion I am part of on google wave. And yes its good to finally write something after a long while. What can I say with college starting the thoughts are consumed with course work and daily chores and the mind just doesn't take those idle walks anymore.
These set of emotions we all face,
No matter our position in life's race.
We could be stubbornly strong or mildly meek,
Some sort of approval we all seek
It could be an opinion on a dress,
or reaction to academic success.
Appreciation of the way we look,
or understanding of a different path we took.

We might think everyone is evaluating how we fare,
But really most of them don't even care.
Universal approval is a foolhardy quest,
Its like attempting an unpassable test
The right way is but only one
To not worry about everyone
But that is easier said than done
Preached by all practiced by almost none
You could define a smaller set called 'everyone'
Within this set you can worry about each one
This set should have people you think are the best,
trust me it will take care of the rest.

ReplyDeleteYour blog is a delight to the reader.
Something different is what you always post,
which is why I love reading them the most.
nice man..thnx. Should I be expecting a full poem from kosa soon now??
ReplyDeletenice one doc....but can you really define the lot.....dont think so....will the rest not matter...dun think so either....its more about u than anyone else.....the others are merely wats in ur head...if u think uv done ur best i think it really dusn matter wat the others think....or even if it does its just wat u think the others are thinkin....and thats gonna be positive coz u r positive...i hope u get it...just a view....cheers!
ReplyDeleteagreed man..i was just suggesting..that no matter who you are..you ultimately do care about wat some people say anyways. Actually, there is nothing wrong with that at all..as u dont wanna be some 1 who doesnt care about wat ne1 says ..because that would be like going overboard..and there are some people who in life you should care abt wat they think..dont you think?
ReplyDeleteMiles to go before I write a full poem,
ReplyDeleteTraveling in a bullock-cart to reach the podium.
Reason for choosing a bullock-cart,
Heard the tortoise rabbit story before the start.
Petrol is vanishing at a rapid pace
Didn't want another rabbit case...
:-)..
@rahul- now i agree..you do really have a long way to go :P
ReplyDeleteFact of life reflected in this genre is indeed a valuable thought. Good one :)
ReplyDeleteI read this poem kinda late.. surprising that..
ReplyDeleteAny way, I think Self approval is the best approval! Amen!
surprising?? No. Its unacceptable. What sort of critique reads the work 1 week after it comes out.
