The woods are lonely, dark and deep....

5000 or more people.... sitting under one roof..
watching there computer screens... documenting...
coding.... testing....
enjoying the third grade coffee from the coffee machine..
i hate when i feel like one of them....
i hate it when i feel one in the crowd...

pretending to be happy....
pretending to be smart...
pretending to be loyal...
some ugly faces trying to be beautiful...
i dont know how these girls get time to put on a so much makeup...

I wonder what everybody wants in life?

When i graduated i felt proud of myself..
When i joined my company i was very proud....
When i got my first salary... i was on top of the world...
But now i think its all fake.... Its all so stupid..
May be we dont understand the worth of what we have....

But I see people of my age... slogging till night...
meeting deadlines.... Trying to impress their seniors...
Tryin really really hard..
Planning all the moves to impress the manager.

Whats the use of all these if i cannot get home for diwali??
Whats the use if my grandpa has to wait for 6 months to see me??
Whats the use of this if i waste my young days having the worst food in canteen??

Everybody here is alone..
Everybody here is a rat... I am a small rat too..
Everybody wants the biggest piece of cheese..
and Destiny is a huge CAT.... smiling at all the rats..
who are happy to get a tiny cheese piece which the cat drops down.....

Knowingly - Unknowingly we enter this race and run....
run and run and run... run away from our dreams.... run away from love..
run away from peace.... run away from sound sleep....
run away from our loved ones... run away from ourselves...

But there is another side of life....
hinting us to enjoy small moments that we often miss....
first rain... the first day in college... first day in office...
first glance... first phone call... first love..
first touch... first kiss.. first fight...
The first train that takes us away from home....
Away from those waving hands and wet eyes....
eyes that have seen the first step you took with your tiny feet...
and now proudly seeing
The first step you are about to take in this world to say...
"i am right here... to WIN"

But this world teaches you a lot in its own way...
sometimes laughs with you...
sometimes laughs at you...
but we dont stop.... we dont quit...

Because... we all have some promises to keep...
and Miles to go before we sleep....
and.. Miles to go before we sleep.....
