First, let me take a deep breath. Whoa! It's been one year since college began and although, it hasn't been as exciting as it looks from the outside, it's not been that bad, either. Infact, It's not even half bad. So, I'm a student of DU who was enrolled under the hastily introduced FYUP which would hold a rather debatable expansion; Four Year Undergraduate Programme or F*ck Yourself Undergraduate Programme. But, let's leave it to that. The termination of this new system came as hurriedly as its implementation, and so we are back to being students of the Three Year Undergraduate Programme.                                    Anyhow, apart from being treated as the official guinea pigs by the Great Indian Education System, there has been a lot to it. Basically, I'm going to talk of how my first year of college has been like. You may or may not exactly relate to it since it is an entirely pers...

The candle still burns The flame still lights  But oh, does it flicker Stop the wind from blowing Does it really matter?  For as long as the light guides me home For as long as the heat keeps me warm Does it matter if the candle goes out?  But hey, sooner than later it will And then there won't be the same light tearing me apart  There will be light but the source won't be the same  There will be warmth but the provider won't be the wax  Let it burn, let it melt Coz you won't ever know what I felt  The darkness shall disappear  I'll be able to see through it as clear  Damn, was it just a candle that burnt  And took with it more than the wax  Well, only if he had known how to save the flame  Given her a little life of his own  For she had the will to light  One blow of air, she was out of sight 

Teach me how to smile.  When all else fails and nothing seems right, all I want is that one person to come up to me, do whatever it takes and bring my smile back.  Amidst all the hassles of this modern living, we forget to smile, let alone have a good hearty laugh. It may be the busy schedules and long working hours but I'm sure none of us worked too hard to get that curve straight.  We grieve over little issues, knowingly or unknowingly make ourselves the victims of depression and let stress be synonymous with life but hey, you're alive.  Sometimes, we become so accustomed to the sad side of us that we forget the last time we were even close to happy. I know, things go wrong, we all screw up but that's not a reason to stop being happy. We can learn to smile, again.  How much I miss that person who could make me laugh at the lamest joke on earth and make me smile through the tears. It were those carefree and problem-free days that I wish I had some more. But you...
