Masks

People use masks to hide from the world
Many use masks to cover their true selves
Some uses masks to hide what’s underneath
Almost everyone uses masks over their faces

You can tell that people are wearing masks by looking into their eyes
Their eyes are glazed over in broken spirit
Their eyes are dulled from the pain
Their eyes don’t hold any spark of what they had before
Their eyes is like eye of a corpse

You can tell that people are wearing masks
By being their friends
When you watch them its like watching a robot
When they smile it doesn’t reach their eyes
When they laugh its like a mocking cackle
Their movements are cautious and lithe
Their body language responds to every sound, and touch

Whatever they do, it matches the mask they have on
The main masks for people to use are:
Happiness, because they don’t have it
Alertness, because they don’t want to endure what they’ve been through again
Shyness, because they fear others

The most common mask is:
Blank, nothing, no emotions what-so-ever
Because with this mask the demons can’t harm them
So try and help whoever has a mask
Because they need it the most

Personal Contact Manager

Great ideas need not necessarily come in washrooms. I got this one while on bike with my friend Rajiv on our way to Shayak's place. Personal Contact Manager, a website that allows the user to manage his/her contacts in an easy and efficient manner. Now, whats different with it. A lot of applications provide this feature. Ever since Windows is being shipped by Microsoft, Phonebook and Outlook Express provide these features. So, let me put it this way. Where are most of the contacts of a person? Even if you don't have any answer or trying to juggle out your way counting the contacts at various social networking sites; even a layman would want to have all his contacts right on his hand. But there is already a mobile phone there. So where should the contact go... Yeah, you guessed it right. On the mobile phone. Wait a minute, we were talking about a website. Where does the mobile come into picture. It does. Let me put the things this way. The actual place where the contacts are sto

An apt quote

I feel like I am not anyone's first choice. Neither their favourite. Even if people tell me I'm important to them or I mean a lot to them, I know there is always someone they prefer to be with. Someone they chose over me. And that's hurt... a lot.

Alone

No one can see the pain that we hide, They're happy for us to keep it inside, Our fear is our own; they don't want to know, Why should we involve them; why should it show. You live your whole life in confusion and fear, The need to feel something unbearably near, Half of you living, Half of you gone, And inside you know what your doing is wrong. The thing's that can help, the thing's that may heal, Are the flame or the blade and the sting of the steel, The destruction of skin means the death of your soul, But there's nowhere to run when your living alone.
