This is what I call a 'poem'.

This poem written by an African child was nominated for the best poem of 2005:

"     When I born, I black:
      When I grow up, I black;
      When I go in sun, I black;
      When I scared, I black;
      When I sick, I black &
      When I die I still black.

      And you white fellows:

      When you born, u pink;
      When u grow up, u white;
      When u go in sun, u red;
      When u cold, u blue;
      When u scared, u yellow;
      When u sick, u green;
      When u die, u grey;
      

...................and you call me coloured????

My Life is a message

Each of us lives a life that expresses who we are, reacts to the world around us, shows our passions, reflects our deep river of feeling and being.

We might sing out in joy, through our words and actions and expressions, we might hide in fear and pain, we might lash out in anger. Every thing we do, everything we are, expresses.

Gandhi’s message was his life, and yours is your life. What message are you giving the world, through your actions, how you live, how you treat others, what you accomplish, how you choose to be, every moment of every day?

Are you an angry rant? A ballad? An epic poem?

Perhaps a sonnet, a limerick, a haiku?

If your life is a poem, what do you want it to say? What would you rather leave out? What will the essence be?







-Gandhi




Enjoy each moment as the perfect syllable, recognize the lyrical in the everyday, and sink your teeth softly into that cold delicious fruit.

A new approach

"Sometimes Life changes and it changes you"
Well I am exactly in that position now, slowly life is changing and I am getting more interesting things to do and I am overloaded with work on my head.

So I am thinking of starting with a new approach to take things.

Lately I am wasting a lot of time, which I hate the most part, time is such an important thing that even God respects it, the time is the change that is constant.

Lately I have been into lots of juggling, which was earlier fine when there was no peer pressure but juggling is a bad habit and I want to leave it asap.

Juggling for me is changing the task at hand before a task is completed, it is a distraction and a bigger one.

The answer to this is single-tasking.

Now I will take a new approach, to focus on single tasking and doing one task at a time with giving 100% attention to it.

If studying then only concentration only to studies
If doing some work then only that work should be the focus and nothing in hand.

One problem is mind wavering, for this I will be using a pen and paper and write that point down whatever and whenever it comes to my mind.

Will revert back to this post after a week to see the changes in the working.

For now, it is getting late,
