Ray

It's six in the morning in my bedroom
The sunray of summer trying to illuminate
It's about time to draw the curtains
And let the light redefine the fate

As it carries the energy I need
Just in time as a welcome
I tend to focus on the matters
That sometimes I need to overcome

Never would I desire to walk in my life
Alone in the dark, sometimes in fear
That one single ray which walked by today
Is the one all I need to begin a new day.

Journey

Sometimes I write to survive
Other times I survive to write
Sometimes I write to survive You (Ha!)
Other times I survive to write For you
I'd like to pen our emotions when I can
And emote in our dreams in the love pen

Truth and Responsibility

The combination of being able to express a chemical reaction in formulas and the instant
gratification of watching it in the chemistry lab always caught special attention among
them the high school students. The sheer strength of a strong acid or aqua regia being
able to eat away your coppers in seconds was magical and musical. It was almost a love
at first sight at this site. The opportunity to stand in front of a bunsen burner, beakers
and the sleight of hand with pipette - all those have empowered them to play with the
contents and generate innumberable combinations of smells, sounds, colors and joy.

During one of those afternoons Josh and Mark two - ninth graders were itching out of curiosity
to see what reaction would dropping a penny and a nickel into the acid mixes would have was
inviting them towards the act. Sensing their intent a few other buddies have
circled them to see what the next scene of this episode would be. Afterall this was going to be
free entertainment. The dynamic duo felt like stars and started their performance. Josh dropped
a copper and Mark a nickel into the acid mix. Fortunately and fascinatingly there wasn't any
dangerous reaction other than some strong green fumes oozing out with a smell that permeated
the lab and the instructor's nostrils. Like the birds that heard a gun shot the people around Josh
and Mark disappeared instantly. George who has been teaching teenagers Chemistry instantly
reacted like his training and experience had demanded.

Trying to control his anger and disappointment he walked towards the boys to enquire who was
it that caused this and what was it that they had done to cause the chemical reaction. Mark was
an extremely good natured kid who never got into trouble but unfortunately this time around he
came under a spell of rare temptation of trying out an unknown chemical test. Interestingly
Josh was equally good natured kid but was foolishly adventurous time to time. As George
was approaching them with Mark alone next to him and the rest of the cheerleaders having left
the scene Josh went into quick thinking. As usual he relied on his instincts to answer knowing
what George would be asking. Knowing the extreme good nature and meek personality of Mark,
Josh decided to take the entire blame on himself and so he did. He daringly admitted to George
that he had dropped in the two coins into the unknown acid mix to see what it would genereate.
Now he knew it got both the lab and George fuming. But George instantly also appreciated
the honesty and remarked to Josh that next time he thinks of doing something that he would
rather take the instructor's permission before he ran an experiment especially something that he
is not fully aware of.

Josh agreed and asked George immediately if he could try the same one more time.
George replied "No!"
The rest of the students laughed except for Mark.
Mark was quiet and thankful.
Josh winked at Mark.

Setting Bar

There are always two bars set in my life
One that my wife sets up
The other that I set up for myself
I am a typical Plan B guy
You gotta think twice in life these days
Sluuuuurrrrrrppppp!

Self Epitaph 4

I've finally retired from my personal life
It was not by my personal choice but rather by public demand
It was a clear mandate that I wasn't following American Idol!
You can stop SMS - there's no service in my coffin.

Sudoku!

My wife thinks I am the most intriguing puzzle she ever solved
While I thought she's the Sudoku I could resolve
Until she started throwing zeroes at me.

Self Epitaph 3

I've retired from my personal life a little while ago
If you think I missed your appointment please check with my assistant next door
I am sure she will fit you right in
I look forward to meeting you.

Outsourced!

I've retired from my personal life
As the intake from my oxygen tank has been outsourced
If you ever get laid off make sure you turn 'green'
So you can breathe carbon dioxide instead.

Serendipity

I do not consider myself having any special talent
But my wife disagrees with me completely
She thinks I have the extraordinary ability to find rare gems and that I found one in 1990s
Sometimes my silence could mean my survival.
