"I was in search of sane,

I never found a single one perfect,

and when I stopped searching,

I found humans..."

Day started with advices to keep yourself healthy after donating blood. My father who had gone through this noble phase served me with milk and cornflakes. His advices were quite edible with my early morning breakfast.
In college all of us (who were interested in donating blood) wrote application to our Principal. After requisite permission we left for the camp. Some of us there didn't fetch their Id proofs. So, I came back to my college and took their temporary Id's. Most of us (who were eligible) donated blood and we had our refreshments.


There was on boy 'Yuvraj'. He was very happy that for the first time he was going to donate blood. But he was not 18+. So, he couldn't make it. While I was donating blood, he was standing besides me. I tried to placate him by saying some flowery words. He listened to me. But I could read his eyes. He was not happy with the denial. He left to meet his other mate who was donating blood.


I was resting on the bed. My blood was rushing out in a bottle, but inside my blood was rushing to my mind too. I felt an inciting human spirit in the boy's eyes. A spirit which shows that a human stands for human. Whether his is half sane or more. But when it comes to take a stand for a cause then, something weak (and lovable) part of humans make them do noble works.


When we came back to our college. I could see all sharing union of noble smile.


And... I


This day I got an idea about how far can a human sane limit ranges. May be it is a bit of a lesson. But I am sure life will help me feel more of its context. :)

Eyes without DREAMS

Life never comes easy handed. Many a times it’s a game which try to deceit you with despair at front and happiness at back end. Sometimes we make prominent choices, leaving options to destiny. But some other times destiny chooses our options and we wait for out time and choices....

Same is with man whom I saw doing his work at a construction site. He is working over there with a forced will, nailed with intentions to raise his family and meet his basic needs.

What happens when we see a regal car road? Most of us feel pumped up. We look at marvelous creativity on road. But here he is walking past a car. He is not interested in running comfort wagons. I doubt if he had ever gave a thought to what DREAMS are. Here I am sitting on my PC and finding my way of dreams and someone else doesn't care for the word DREAM. It's ironic to our haste of living. We thing we are moving fast. Nano and nano plus technology. But we ignore a major side of society. I am doing my bit for them. I am trying to be a voice to them. And believe me; we all can do this bit for them daily. Maybe a simple smile will do. Who knows? So we should not wait for chances as they come to those who don't wait for them.

and walking he thinks...

"What was my sin what is more worst than this?

I am toiling in field as destiny never gave me a will...”
