Juliet on Romeo

A thousand nervous smiles

A hundred staring faces

I wandered aimlessly in the courtroom

Lonely and solitary

Like a sailor amidst a stormy sea

I bumped into someone

And fell on my knees

A hand held me

And helped me get back on feet

He flashed a smile and vanished in a whim

I froze at that moment

I knew it was him

His velvet voice

And hypnotic eyes

His soft sculpted face

And magnetic charm

His exuberant smile

And emperor like gait

Struck the chords of my heart

I inadvertently wished

He should never go apart

As moonlight spread its radiance

I pondered what did he do?

I realized in no time

He successfully tamed the shrew

Romeo on Juliet

This is my interpretation of how Romeo would have felt when his eyes first saw Juliet. Have also tried to write Juliet's version when she first saw Romeo. So all Romeo Juliet fans enzoooyeeeeeeeee!!!!

She walked in as a soft scented breeze

Her warmth was such

That would put one at ease

Kohl laced eyes

Eyes like a pirate looking for his treasure

She smiled at me and bit her lip

My heart pounced

And I felt it flipped

Curly long tresses

The grace and the finesse

Made my heart confess

Bring the shackles

For I am her prisoner

For Life and ever after

                                             - Romeo

Dichotomy of learning

Just as we are getting back to the regular grind of lectures with assignments and projects piling up I happened to realize that when asked questions on the subjects that we were pushed to study last semester; uproar of answers come for questions asked on Economics and Operations Management. This observation further prompted me to contemplate in depth the reasons for such revelation.

I personally believe that an author’s greatest quality, and one which illuminates all his writings is the ability to talk to the reader and not at him. And Mankiw successfully links various economic concepts seamlessly ensuring continuity and grasping the reader’s attention with eloquent ease. Never thought demand, supply, equilibrium and competition would be so mind stimulating.

While one author did the trick in economics it is the absolute reverse in case of Operations. No one book was thought suffice to understand concepts and in the end we all ended up UNDERSTANDING the concepts from the power point presentations. Also brownie points for the manner in which we were provoked to think on our own and relate and interlink concepts; a relief from the usual mugging style of learning. Also the exam paper  put all students at par strictly testing the application of knowledge and not the “whoever mugged and reproduced scores best” archaic form of answering papers.  

And as I come to terms with the dichotomy of learning methods in MBA I wish in the end we all are blessed with more, correct and sufficient knowledge.

Wandering thoughts

Some wandering thoughts during Research Methodology lecture....

At the moment all hope is weak and small

Who could have said the angel is sad

Life feels lonesome

Heart feels empty

Umpteen thoughts cross the mind

Seeking meaning for the soul inside

What does this heart seek?

Is it true love that is hard to find

Or solitude that is harder to define

At the moment all hope is weak and small

A new beginning

Wake up!!! Wake up to see

The sun ascend from the mountains

And feel its warmth on skin

The fragrances in the air

Contouring the world with a new beginning

It’s just like yesterday yet it seems so new

Gaze the flowers and their smile

So infectious

So pure

Daisies, irises, tulips, jasmine

Dancing to the tune of morning robin

They are just like yesterday but still seem new

The birds that fly in unison

Clouds silhouetting against the setting sun

The calm sea and the wind’s whoosh

Like the unpredictable rhythm of life’s stir and push

They are just like yesterday but still seem new

So wake up to this new morning

Make a new beginning                                 

FINALLY here

After umpteen warnings and “when the hell are you gonna start it?”,  “what are you waiting for?” looks finally the day has come that I start my own blog. And what a better occasion than to start it on New Year. I am quite gung ho about this right now but I am unsure as to how much justice I will be able to do to this blog. And NO am not going to make any New Year resolution like “I’ll blog daily” because it would be a case of severe idiocy considering the lazy being that I have become lately.

Moving on its good to be back to writing which happened to be a fixation once –Writing Diaries, hiding it from everyone, wish list to Santa, complaining why does jerry have to win all the time?? Ghosh those were indeed the best days.

Ending on a note that I hope to write regularly now that I have begun... Amen!!!!
