<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scars are beautiful,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">whosoever said so</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">felt none of the heartbreak</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">that comes with each.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm covered,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">prodigal scars aplenty,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">showing them off,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">like battles won so far</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but where's win count</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">when heart lies dilapidated?</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Constant reminder these scars,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">never let you heal</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time fades it over years,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">but in some - pain remains.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prodigal scars return,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Black and blue on my body -</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Your pain passing through me.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Cuts and blood showing -</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yet I manage strong face.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Movement and thought distorted </i>-</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All seems disdained.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scars are beautiful</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">say men who give them</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">'cause how else you justify</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">the pain your woman sustains.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>You thrash and throw </i>- </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You hold me by my throat.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>You push and I bleed -</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You tell me my mistake. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>You yell and cut me</i> -</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You still act a victim.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br clear="none" /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, I did call for these scars</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's all my fault</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've given you space,</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">thought man of a beast.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scars are beautiful</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">wish I could slash one open</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">disfigure your face forever</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then have the courtesy to remain</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">true to your promise</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'll then agree to each word.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes! Scars are beautiful.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Andrei Taganov died. He pulled the trigger at 6.30 in the
morning and I cried at his death.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could see his death coming as he had ensured the safety of
Leo and Kira. The calm of decision landed on his face and a smile so serene
that I fell in love with him again. He was in love and his smile was the
monument of it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However. Deep in my heart an anguish burnt. I could not
understand a simple fact that people who live by the very ideals they believe
in – why do they have to die. Why does the immoral world, without any standards
and dreams get to kill people who matter? A death that is proclaimed as a
heroic act but somewhere it’s a heinous crime in the hands of humanity.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This death was not a sin committed by Andrei by the people
who brought him to his knees. People who take joy in breaking people down to their
very shreds and then move on to break another. Until when should I lay low and
see them kill every one of my kins. My kins in thoughts and soul. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Should I wait for the killers to come to my door some day
with a smile on their face and knife hidden under their shirts? A knife that I will
never see coming. It will be well veiled under the sweet words of concern and
understanding they show. I will break or will I not?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I would like to believe that I am unbreakable. Vulnerable,
but unbreakable. Andrei died because he could not fight for his love and
beliefs. I can. I will be living for my cause, win each of my fights and move
on. I will carry Andrei forward with Kira and Leo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PS: Andrei Taganov is a character from <b>We the Living
by Ayn Rand</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Despite the number of job openings across all sectors,
Indian companies are finding it harder to fill mission-critical positions to
due to severe lack of talent. It is becoming more and more difficult to find a
suitable person to fill in positions in all the sectors starting from
e-commerce, R&D, sales, IT, Outsourcing industries to even the government
bodies like; the </span><span lang="EN-IN">Indian healthcare system and </span><span lang="EN-US">the </span><span lang="EN-IN">Indian diamond
processing industry</span><span lang="EN-US">. The companies are willing to pay boosting
wages, however, the skill shortage has led to a vacuum in the companies.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">India Inc, as a whole,
is experiencing explosive growth but finding the correct manpower is becoming a hurdle in the path of
this growth. The main reasons for talent crunch in India are suggested to be
lack of talent availability and high level of attrition. Companies across the
globe are looking at India as the source of </span><span lang="EN-US">cheap and abundant labour
force creating </span><span lang="EN-IN">unprecedented demand for workers with the
right leadership and technical skills giving them the opportunities to work
abroad. This, in turn,</span><span lang="EN-US"> is affecting our </span><span lang="EN-IN">domestic
growth as the lack of skilled workforce has fuelled an explosion in wages,
especially in tech and outsourcing sectors.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US">Most of the recruiters find it very challenging to
find talent with relevant experience who fit in the rigid job requirement
category. Business standard research for the e-commerce industry says that some
of the </span><span lang="EN-US">top executives are
spending over 40% work hours on recruitment. It is also mentioned that firms
like FutureBazaar have to go through
interviewing over 150 software engineer candidates to hire one that suits the
bill. It is observed that finding man-power with </span><span lang="EN-US">relevant
internet experience is growing to be a major challenge.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-IN">The
Indian Outsourcing industry is facing a grave threat of attrition along with
the shortage of skilled and educated workers. The attrition rate has seen a
phenomenal increase of 55%, of which there is a significant relocating
occurring in the mid and senior management levels. </span><span lang="EN-US">However,
it is also observed that Indian organizations are </span><span lang="EN-IN">adopting a global way of working,
which in turn has made them more competitive and has changed the pattern of
work and skill set required for a certain job role. This has created a serious
gap of knowledge, information and skills amongst the workforce already in place in these industries.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The sixth
annual talent shortage survey by global human resource, consultancy and
staffing firm Manpower Group claimed that 67% of the employers are struggling to
attain the critical-level hiring target. In India, Talent scarcity is
increasing and the reason behind the same is considered to be the lack of skill
set required for a certain leadership role. Across companies, positions for
research and development, sales manager and IT staff are found to be facing
maximum difficulty while recruiting. Whereas, the 5<sup>th</sup> report had
suggested that the industry faced lack of talent in cleaners, domestic staff,
insurance segment, including qualified brokers, technicians, customer service
representatives, customer support and quality controllers.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">It was a dark and stormy night and I had
recently shifted to my new home. The rains and the huge house were making a
perfect eerie set up for me stay all alone. My husband was out of town and I
had to arrange the house before he was to come back. The new house was a
beautiful old villa with multiple rooms furnished with renaissance furniture
and wooden fireplaces. The tainted glass windows gave it the look of perfect English
architecture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">My job was to settle the house and arrange
every piece of furniture before my family arrived, but the rains were making it
very difficult to get things arranged. However, tonight being my first night I
was with my guards on. These villas are always celebrated for being haunted and
I was scared about the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">Suddenly, I heard a swooshing sound that had
me chills running down my spine. I could see the flaps of the windows
stuttering and making eerie noises. I somehow managed to close the window but
the sound was never ceasing. I was scared the ghostly stories flooded my mind
and I could see the child running around the house with her dress making those
swooshing sounds. It was rumoured that a brutal father had cut her playful and
beautiful daughter into pieces and had her buried in the store room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">I was scared through the night and could not
get even a minute of respite from the ghostly house. Somewhere around 4AM, I
suddenly heard giggling noises in the house. I was so scared by now that I
could not muster courage to get up and find what was making the sound.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">The storm calmed with the morning and so did
the giggling sound. I had a bit of respite through the day and it passed with
the repair work in the house. The entire staff was gossiping about the child in
a white frock seen running around the house and giggling. I had a difficult day
to deal with and the night, I knew was going to be all the more difficult.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">Second night in the haunted villa and I was
scared to the core to think of what I might experience today. The night again
started with the storm in its highest spirits. The swooshing sounds had receded
due to the window repairs done during the day, but I was waiting if the
giggling sound was merely a fragment of my imagination or in real. The night
ticked away and the clock struck 4AM, and lo here starts the giggling sound.
The sound was so close and so real that I froze in my bed. Somehow I managed to
spend the night and was waiting for the day break as my husband was to return
today.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">My husband returned late in the evening and I
narrated the entire event to him. He laughed at me and my story, so I told him
about the rumours spread by the workers. He laughed at story and told me
nothing will happen tonight. I was praying that nothing happens and I can sleep
for one night. Due to the rains there was no electricity at home so we went
ahead to sleep early.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">As the night grew, the rains started their
magic, but somehow I could sleep peacefully tonight. The night progressed to
4AM and the giggling started. I woke my husband up and with the help of a
flashlight we started searching the giggling ghost.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;">We followed the sound to the store room
located near my bedroom and found the source of my nightmare for three nights.
It was an old tap that gurgled when water started to come in at 4AM.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small; line-height: 115%;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">We laughed through entire night and got the
giggling ghost repaired the next day.</span><span style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hangover – quite a common word.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangover">Wikipedia </a>defines it as an “experience of various unpleasant physiological and psychological effects following the consumption of ethanol” (Alcohol in common language).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This is a very general meaning of the word, however, the unpleasant physiological and psychological effects can be for various reasons – love, anger, fight, angst, irritation, etc. Have you ever felt a hangover from any of the above? Yes, then you will understand what I am talking about.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Superficially everything seems fairly sorted and even, but the unpleasantness lies somewhere under the skin after a huge fight or something wrong that just happened. I had a fight. With you ask. Let’s just say that I am married and I live with my in-laws so what has happened is really normal for an Indian household. Fights happen and I am not concerned about the fight or what happened during the fight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">What I am concerned about here is the hangover. There are times when the word uttered lose their meaning but it feels like they are hanging over (literally & sometimes figuratively) your head. The aftermath has happened. The tsunami came by, drowned you and somehow you magically survived. However, the survival is not enough. The lingering effects of the verbal tsunami remain. You don’t know how to deal with it. Does it go away eventually? Yes, like every other hangover it does go – but what happens until then.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Everything seems normal and natural but the pangs of pain keep coming. You act happy and smile ear-to-ear. Apologies don’t happen, and even if they do – they are fairly useless. Even when you do the formal apology, it does not really work. Then deep down inside you know you are wrong and yet not completely. In a fight, no one is completely wrong or right. The matters delve much deeper than that. How do we deal with that? Is there an Aspirin out there for such hangovers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The physiological effects can be acted upon and you can work on a fake smile (I have years of practice – and it's magical) but the psychological effects can be really unnerving. I am scared for the first time in my life after a fight. And yes I have been in zillions of fights (both literal and figurative). Despite that, I have never been scared – not for my life but for some seemingly unknown reason. It’s the psychological reasons that hurt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Can the hangover be dealt with? If so, how?</span><span style="font-family: papyrus;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Alok Rodinhood Kejriwal
Facebooked today this “Why does misery of other people make us happy?” and this
is my take on the same question. I fail to answer it but I don’t crave
happiness – it comes naturally (sometimes due to reasons and rest of the times
without them).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Now, isn’t happiness the
natural state of human beings. We are born with a basic understanding of love
and all other form of emotions comes by with experience. So, why it is that
happiness finds it difficult to come by us when we grow up? The momentary joy of
being able to say “<i>I told you so</i>” or “<i>You deserved it</i>” is more fun than actually
helping them face the problem. What has made us degrade from that blissful
state into the sordid one? Why does inflicting pain, directly or indirectly
bring that fleeting feeling of festivity to our heart?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We seek happiness in
material things or a cigarette smoked or a drink had, but we forget the
conversation we had over the drink or that smoke. We just remember that bad
hangover after one too many drinks. We take pleasure in sharing our tales of
sorrow to all, even when we know no one is really interested in listening to
it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">We seek happiness in what
makes others miserable. We enjoy from the fact that someone is unhappy either
because of us or due to something that we didn’t do, which might have helped
that person through. Somehow we have forgotten the natural instinct of loving people
and being in a state of sheer happiness, without being sadist about it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Perhaps we have forgotten that joy is best when
it is shared with people you love and sorrows sort of mellow down in company. Loneliness
never enhances happiness and never allows distress to get out of your life. As a
rule we are bound to be with people, but our current lifestyle has made us impervious
to any feelings of joy and has increased the craving. Maybe that is why we
enjoy scorn, sarcasm and sadism instead of love, happiness and laughter.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am very happy today. No
reason. Or wait there is a reason. I went shopping and bought a designer Saree
that had caught my eye almost a year back and somehow it was not sold. Probably
it is too expensive as per the market norms and was not actually worth the
price or may be it was just waiting there for me. Whichever is true, I got it
and the sense owning it has made me little too cheery. I therefore enjoyed a
movie more than I normally would.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">So, when I sit in that
happy mood on my 15th floor balcony, I get a little philosophical thinking that
now I have started to need reasons to be happy. Since when we started having
the needs of owning material objects to feel the joy that should come naturally
to us. Isn't sadness the thing that comes with reasons. I was happy when got
this house, mind you its still on rent but yes its mine. I was happy when I got
my wedding dress designed. I was happy when I bought a phone (tablet).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I don't have the days or
reasons when I truly was happy without any specific material reason. I remember
the day when my first boss from second job (boss was same and so was the
office) asked me why are you smiling, share it with us and make everyone smile.
I replied that since when people started needing reasons to be happy. He told
me that I am going bonkers if I am smiling or being happy for no reason. And
back then I just smiled at him. But now honestly, I have changed to be like
him, and this is not a change that I wanted to happen to me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I indulged in the race that
I once avoided and now I have become a rat, but who cares if I win or not. I
wish to be happy, the way I was on the day my boss told me I am mad. I wish to
be happy like the day I hugged my niece and she kissed me back. I wish to be
happy to see my father smile when he saw the smartphone I and my sister gifted
him.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They still are reasons but at least they are
intangible assets. I wish there would a day soon where I would be happy without
reasons, until then intangible assets should do.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">Is it due
to the loss of someone we love that we cry or is it that we feel pity on the
hurtful situation? Is it the pain that
hurts or the mere loss? Despite the crisis or the pain, I don’t cry generally.
It’s only when I’m with someone who I love or in front of whom I’m not scared
to bare my heart, I cry. People say crying makes it easier to bear the pain,
but even the deepest sense of loss can’t make me cry till I am with someone who
touches those chords.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">The lost
soul is forever gone - either never to come back or never to get that place
back in my life and heart. So, definitely there is a loss - a vacant space
created in my soul due to your absence, but who do I go and explain. I cry with
you or in front of you because you give me the respite none else does. But do
you fulfill the loss - no you don’t. You seem to enhance the depth of gorge to
an unfathomable extent. I panic. To cry or not to cry is the question now. I am
at loss of the loss and the panic instilled by your presence<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">You will
think I am confused, but I am not. Scared - yes I am, at the loss I already
have and the loss that your presence instills. So, you double the loss and now
I cry for both. You ask me what is it that I cry for and here the words confuse
me – to an extent of creating inability in being coherent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">I cry – I
still am not coherent – I cry – the loss is still unfathomable – I cry – the
pain is still there – I cry – I still am scared.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">The loss
of you, the loss of your current presence and the loss of expressions – still
hurt. I know its fresh but usually numbness never finds me. The pain never
ceases. So, I cry for the loss – forever – but never with you.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: large;">Some
emotions just seem to engulf your entire existence; still they leave you
unfazed with so many mysteries that complete them. I see the swarming questions
and emotions in your eyes. I know they seem to ask a lot more than your mere
words convey. It’s beyond my understanding of your need to utter them. I know
you are scared and so am I. I wish things were a little simpler but have I not
myself, made it so complex. I am scared of your questions and your overtly
conveying eyes. There are times when I feel to simply bask in the love they
ooze but that’s again not mine to ask for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: large;">A life
with you is endearing and a life without you will go on. You ask me whether I
will miss you when you are gone. Don’t you know it for yourself? Is it too much
to ask if I simply want to be happy? With you or without you is not the
question.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: large;">I know I
sound selfish but you are someone I wish to possess my entire life and I know
that it will not happen. I know I will have to let go of you. You have to find
your happiness elsewhere. But your eyes will always haunt me, my entire life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus";"><span style="font-size: large;">I will
never be able to let go of them. You know how I feel about you and I am scared
that everyone else does too.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Thoughts that cross my mind have been told across a
zillion times and the come across as clichés or dialogues. But has anyone
thought that they might be my real feelings. It might just be that I am going
through that block where there is nothing new for to think or write and this
phase will pass. The ray of sunlight will peep through the grey clouds and I
will smile again as if I had never known any sorrows, until then I wait and
search for my smile. It is just a traffic jam not a dead end. Even if, it would
have been a dead end I will find my way off and carve my road. Till then I wait
for the traffic to clear. I don’t wait for anyone to find me happiness or grant
me permission to seek my smile. I know how to find my star. The sole guiding
star of mu soul is hidden behind the clouds and the clouds will go. I just have
to make a strong wind and all the grays will fly off giving way to my soul
star. Till then I wait and work on my way through.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">“Love
Comes in a Package” – A friend of mine used to tell this to me long time back.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">She
elaborated on my questioning glance that when you fall in love with a person,
you accept them with their good, bad and ugly, all features intact. You do not
change them as per your whims but make amends in your lifestyle to suit the relationship
requirements. You should make space for their mood swings and tantrums, and
smilingly ‘move on’ as you know they would do the same for you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">After
so many years, I still remember her words ringing clearly in my ears as I wait
for the one who would accept me with all my <u>goods</u> and <u>bads</u> – the best
of me with the worst of me. If it were true in her case, why would it be too
much to ask in my case?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">However,
life is not same for everyone. I’ve forgotten the feeling of love – the pink
heart shape glasses that come with it. The ability to see beauty in everything
has faded with the keen and alert glare at the world. I don’t let myself
believe in love. I don’t wish to believe either. The belief makes me weak. The
stories of ‘Prince Charmings’ sweeping their beloveds’ off their feet has lost
its charm. The dream of opening the door for my love every evening has lost its
meaning in this constant race for sustainability.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">I’m
no more the delicate and sensitive person I was. Now I try to see trough
everything, even when I’m supposed to let go and let things happen on their own
accord. The world has gotten into me – it has turned me to follow their rotten
ways. It used to see me in a bad light and now when I’ve turned bad, it deems
me fit. An insensitive slave – a part of their meaningless race.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "papyrus"; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-size: large;">I used
to say that I’ll never be a part of this rat-race, but here I’m. A part of me
is still alive that wishes escape and believes in love. Nevertheless, other
part says – go-ahead girl, change. They won’t accept your honesty – so lie. There
is no such thing as love and peace – and that’s how I have come to believe that
reality does not have ‘Prince Charming’ and ‘Happy Endings’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">The first
ray of sun peeps through my window to wake me up. I smile with your smile – It’s
sheer joy and plain happiness that I gain out of it. The strength I derive out
of it is Life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wonder
what my world would be without that smile of yours - A damp dark room with
roaches running all over. -The moldy stench that rots every living thing in
vicinity. The cold shiver creeping in from the cracks in the floor will reach the
core of warmth in me and will kill the flame.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">I never
knew what your smile was worth until today, when my heart ailed to see it gone.
Gone, as I was the reason for your sadness. You smiled when I asked you for it,
but it never had the warmth of the brown that your eyes carry.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">My world
will go vacant without your smile. My strength will fail – m y brightness will
fail – my entire existence will fail. There will just be a scar remaining on my
face in the name of smile. There won’t be any more sunrises to brighten my
mornings. There won’t be any joy in my mischiefs. The sparkle of my eyes will
be lost.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wonder,
where would life be or would it worth be living – A LIFE WITHOUT YOUR SMILE.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">I saw u coming
through the thick traffic from a distance. You are always visible. I never have
the trouble seeing you even at a distance. Not because you are too tall or you
shine in the crowd or anything like that. It’s just because my eyes always seem
to find you, be it far, be it near, be it crowded, be it dark, I will always
see you.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">So, today was no
different. I saw myself through your eyes while getting ready to go out and
meet you and I knew you will see what I did. I smiled but you didn’t. Somehow,
today I felt you were a bit distant, preoccupied, and then you told me that you
had an argument back home. But, I knew that was not the whole reason. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">We spent the entire
evening together and I heard everything that you had to say. I was there with
you, though something was amiss between us. The usual “US” factor that your
friends said was missing. I made sure it was. I made sure you spoke up as you
made me speak my feelings. You t<span style="font-size: large;">a</span>ught me it was easy to talk and with you
words came so effortlessly, so why is it difficult for you?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">I made sure I am not
paying attention to you and I made sure you felt it too. I looked into your
eyes and realized what you were going through but I wanted to hear it. I wished
you would say that you were jealous like you said you were possessive. It is
one feeling I still cherish. I still smile at the mere thought of the fact that
someone is so possessive about me. Did you not see me smile the entire day when
you said that?</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus;">I do not fight with
you to make you feel bad about something. I fight, so that you speak. Say that
you love me with your entire being, as you really do. You said what I wanted to
hear. You finally said, “<b>I’m jealous. I want
your unwavering attention.</b>” And I smiled with my entire being. My entire
angst vanished. I’m not angry anymore.</span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Papyrus; line-height: 115%;">You crawl to reach me and the effort is so much that it really
impresses me. And I start to appreciate your efforts and then you venture
deeper. You try to delve in the deep dark desires and secrets of my heart. Why?<br />
<br />
Are you not satiated with my love?<br />
<br />
Why do u have to understand me to love me. I am no book that you read with
every page you turn. I am no theory that you would assume. I am a human being.
The philosophies of love are many. Why do you try to mix them all to make muck.
Its a filthy saying of lotus in dirt, love does not have to be that. It does
not even have to be roses in thorns. It can be a mere wild flower amongst the
woods. Why do you have to flaunt me as a trophy. Why do have to change me to suit
your demands. Am I not the same person you fell in love with. So why so many
assumptions and alterations?<br />
<br />
Answer me truly and am all yours. You falter once and I am gone. For good and
forever.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">The freshness of dewdrops on the leaves - basking in
the sunshine - spreading their sparkle - scattering the shades of life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">The tranquil in the arms of a dew drop must be bright
to attract the beautiful sun rays and break it down to its essence. The
brightness suddenly takes a beautiful turn and grows mellow. The existence of a
ray breaks down into zillions of figments of colors and still the light smiles.
The amplification of beauty is confusing. I try to understand, why?<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s me yet again, sipping the shades of life through
my eyes. I’m trying to soak in the beauty of this calmness. The overwhelming
calmness tightens its grip on my throat and I strangle. There it starts
creeping again – the pain. As I stand still with no emotions visible on my
face, the pain soon scatters into various frames. The frames show a beautiful me.
A girl with innocence in her eyes and sparkle in her smile.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">It’s the growing reality in me that the whole of me is
encompassed of those various frames to make me. Every bit of pain is every bit
of joy and here I stand in totality to see the dewdrops disappear, as they take
my pain away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Papyrus;"><span style="font-size: large;">And now I realize why the sun rays hug the dew drops.
They try to understand the reality of beauty and in lieu they give us the
shades of life.</span></span></div>
