Speech of Chetan Bhagat at Symbiosis..

Life is one of those races in nursery school where you have to run with marble in a spoon kept in your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same with life, where health and relationships are the marble.Your striving is only worth it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously. Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It's ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, take leave from work, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.

"Don't be serious, be sincere." !

Very  few have  summed up   philosophy so  nicely ,  so crisply. IIT+IIM are a  different breed indeed !!!!

oNcE...

she was laughing, laughing loud... Her eyes were overwhelming with joy and tears. I saw shyness, anxiety, infatuation and what not; Everything unfolds in those vermouth eyes... I feel my phrenicus nerves were agglomerating... Felt to give the best kiss I had ever given her... Felt to romance her beautiful fingers… Everything looked auspicious to me. Felt Cupid - The Roman God of love, a counterpart of Greek Eros blessed me...

But I didn't do any of these... I just want to be part of her along with the shadows of the dusk, raised my right hand towards the beauty-spot rightly placed beneath her beautifully carved nose...

Her hands came in a close second before I was about to feel her. 

She said with smiles,

"No... later, Not now, only then... only then...!"

I smiled. "Yes, she is right. Not now..., only then" I said myself.

The storm in me died away...We end the day and walked alongside... We didn’t knew, ‘time’ was also alongside!

Years passed... And she is somebody’s now. Destiny once again brought us together…

She asked: “Why didn’t you touch me then?” 

I looked at her...Sighs!

She continued “I was waiting breathtakingly, astonishingly for that moment. Don't you heard the call from my heart? I wished to rush to your arms to feel the man in you; I wished everything from you at that instant, which I would have cherished even now! You gave me amorous glance, which took me to a place of complete bliss and delight and peace - a Shangri-la.” She was unstoppable.

I know she is desperate! Poignancy of a girl who can’t stand the ‘test of time…!’
