The Wish

Happy birthday, my friend
I hope you have a happy one
One filled with love and happiness
But I know that you are missing someone
Someone special to you
Someone who you wish is there with you now

So I give you a gift
A simple one, really
But I know that a gift you'd really enjoy
Is to be with your special someone
But this will have to do for now
This mere piece of poetry

But if you think about it
Contemplate it deeply
Think it through
Looking into your mind
Around every corner
You'd see it

The many gifts you receive
Each so valuable and precious
Tenderly given to you
As if taking your hand
And placing their heart
Into your palm

Indeed, that is what it is
Their hearts to you
From far away they give
They give their emotions
Their feelings
And their minds

They think so fondly of you
And they hold your feelings
Like a treasured jewel
And what they give...
Love, care, affection
...is more precious than what I can give

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.

What my "The Ultimate Career Personality test" says about me

Just browsing through the Delicious bookmarks, I found out this link for Career personality test . Gave it a try and here is what my report was... From the answers you have just provided in the personality questionnaire Deepak Shakya, it's already clear that you need to work in a place where people come first. You work hard at creating harmony because people are important to you. You care how people feel about things. Your job must offer you this Deepak Shakya. It is essential that the company, its managers and its employees value and respect the people that work there. You cannot work in a place that doesn't trully value its people. Not everyone needs this from their work. In fact many people would struggle to understand the importance of it but not you. Well, I personally don't take these kind of opinions, but I guess this is very true from whatever I have experienced in last one year or so.

End of an Era with Countless Memories

I come from middle class background and for us, even small things have a special place in heart. Not because there aren't any new alternatives, just because the memories associated with them. And when Bajaj announced that they are are going to stop the production of scooter, it surely marked the end of an era. My father got this Bajaj Super (Pehelwan - we love to call it that way) before my birth in Kanpur and ever since he just another member of the family. And always the most reliable one. My father still drives it much more pride than the recent addition to XCD into the list. 22 Years of service and still going good guns. I don't know how my father decided on that green color, but it looks perfectly awesome on it. Any other thing and I would have hated that thing. I can't forget how we all used to fit into our Pehelwan. Bangalore time was so much fun. We used to travel all the way to Rattanvilas Road, Basavangudi for the congregation, then off to Jalhali to, then to Gang...
