Away from my home

Long gone are the days when he used to smile everyday
All he now misses is a scolding of his mother today
It was a different world to have mother by side those days
Having those fights and mentioning them as generations gap day
Those smiles those tears everything is now a memory
Having those dinner and lunch and cracking jokes around
Teasing the siblings and quarreling all day long
Spending those evenings watching movies with family at home
And than the time flew by and pulled us away 
Far away from the place which gave us a peace at end of day
Working all day and coming back to that place with a smile on face
Having the food and not worrying for what would be next day
Long gone are those days when things were just ready everyday
Time just changed and pulled us away leaving memories for us to say
Now are the days when we wake up not with mom's voice but alarms everyday
Food is not always ready as if hungry we need to learn to cook today
That smile has been lost somewhere as people ain't same around
Days pass away and we just miss those old days 
Sitting near those tea stalls and cracking joke with friends on weekends
Sitting next to father and taking lessons of life from him
Mom yelling around as you just missed the one thing she told you to do
Fighting with sibling for the remote as your favorite show's gonna get aired
Tears pass by from eyes missing those old days
Grandpa's voice calling you for sharing those stories of his days
And that's how home used to feel long back those days
Now the days are filled with silence all around
Nights pass by while we are working all that long
Smiles have been lost and all we do is now is sit alone
Looking at those memories in pictures while far from home.

A fallen story

It all began in a classic way with a girl and boy thing way He saw her in a room of people one day And he had a fall for her the moment that day He kept it in heart he kept his feelings low While someone walked to her and had her stole He smiled looking at her still everyday She just thought him to be a friend one way They often met and talked someday He never had guts to share his feelings anyway A day came by and she was not there that day He took his phone and texted her right away The spoke to each other for a while that day He had those feelings been popping up that day He was scared to loose her by telling her any day He was scared to show his feeling for her everyday Days passed by and they happened to be close He took some courage and told her the truth The had a moment of silence and she smiled that day Guy just had a cut knowing he was dumped that day He knew things were so and never gonna be okay So he kept being silent and just being a friendly way Sti...

A Fatherly Memory

Eyes are closed and mind ain't at peace It just feels broken and can't ease Looking at those memories i had Looking at our pictures which made us laugh Those moments which made us who we are Those lessons you taught me atlast Your absence does hurt a lot indeed Your presence is what i need at top of it Looking at your picture eyes shed tears now All this thinks i have achieved feels worthless now I never had a hand to pat my back I never had a hand to guide me in dark path Those days are being missed when we sat together Days when we discussed​ until mom yelled over Times when you used to caress my head before i fell asleep Times when you made me learn to be a better man to be Things can't replace your absence for me Life just never gonna be complete without you for me. -Nitish

I didn't get that opportunity!

We often face this question when either promotion or during hike cycle. Don't we think, "why them and not me?". I was once told "If there is something out there which is meant for you, you would get it sooner or later in your life". But as we grow and start our corporate life we learn a new modified version of that statement, i.e. "If you want something go ahead and either fight for it or earn it, but don't just sit there and hope for it to fall in your lap". During one of our recent office meeting our manager came and told us, "i know most of you are frustrated and think you are not getting what you want. But if you are jealous because someone else got it by getting their hands dirty don't regret it because you lack the skill to get things you need so stop complaining and better work your way up". So this article is not to motivate you or make you feel you are worth it. But it is about why you been failing at every step and buil...
