Schadenfreude

Standing on the crossroads of life
I know not which way to go

Sharp , black eyes on me at all times
Taking pleasure each time i stumble

They win or lose, it doesn't matter
What matters is how i do

The worse i do the better they feel
I blame them not, for that is just the way they are

In the deepest recesses of their minds
They display emotions hard to describe

The best thing in the world

I was reading Shantaram, wherein Karla, the female protagonist, asked everyone on the table @ Cafe Leopold, what according to them was the best thing in the world. Some of the answers were- power, money and freedom. Each person talked about the thing that they valued the most.I thought about it a lot and a zillion things came to my mind- I couldn't pinpoint one single thing that I really desired and valued. After analysing my thoughts I realised that, for me, sleep is the best thing in the world. Sleep has been glorified in many mythological tales and fairy tales too. In Ramayana, Ravana's brother, Kumbhakarana, slept for half the year and was awake for the remaining half. This was because, he was so gigantic, that the Gods feared that if he would be awake for the entire year, he might just eat up all the livestock, food supply and may be even human beings! And even though he may have not liked the fact that he was sleeping for half his life, it was a boon to everyone else arou...

Life@SIMSR-Impressions'09

There are always loopholes in each and every system. Ragging is banned by law. But that does not mean that our seniors did not rag us.

Luckily, my buddy turned out to be super chilled. WEEK 2:-We were required to find out inside information about some of our seniors and make a presentation on them and also prepare either a dance, fashion show or musical skit. The finale was in the auditorium in...
