POEM 9 - ALIEN VISION

2 Aliens visit the earth and talks:

There stands a 2 leg creature with 2 hands and 2 legs,

2 eyes and 2 ears, 1 mouth and 1 nose,

less than us though !

There one rides 2 rounded and 4 rounded animals,

1 big dragon which flies higher and 1 big snake which creeps faster,

less than us though !

There one drinks transparent and colored juices,

There one uses talking insects,listening birds,

less than us though !

There one builds mini mountain on top of another,

There one captures sunlight and uses in the dark,

less than us though !

There one loves each other with care and affection,

There one helps each other with gratitude,

but more than us though !

Let us leave and not invade this planet !!!!!!!!!

POEM 8 - GIFT

Got a first prize for a poor kid in sports competition,
Holding it - he walked to home with fame and pride,
Within seconds, excitement and happiness turned out to be tears,
Scolding - he got from his father without any reason,
Sadness entered the little mind instead of motivation,
Only soul who consoled him was his mother -
who knew the shades of poverty changing the kid's gift of talent !!!

Got a first proposal for a long awaited bride,
Struggle still grabbed her parents to finish of marriage,
Yet to start a bright life with so much dreams,
Shocked was the bride when she heard -
Groom and his family had quit the marriage and left,
Sheltered dowry shredding the bride and her family -
proved to be the bride's gift of marriage !!!

Got a first rank for a student after lot of effort,
Finished all hiring processes and rounds of interviews,
for his first job after lot of preparation,
Expecting fruitful result for a long time,
Struck was the student by disappointment,
When recommendation just ignored his gift of hard work !!!

Got a first address as Trash bin for the orphan children,
Not even a dress for exchange,
Educational institutions seems to them -
as exhibition centres or museums,
Who will be the guide to the future of those pure souls ?
Not even a helping hand for this young society -
dying out there of starvation,
When they will get their birthday GIFT ???

RIDDLES TO REFRESH

We used to play a lot of riddles during school and college life , but we would have forgotten them when we enter busy work life.Just for a rewind, I got some riddles from my old notebook - not sure the answers are available online !

1) I am 5 letter word. I am a talent in you. If you cut the first letter, I am dead.

    If you cut the first 2 letters, I am sick. Who am I ?

2) What 5 letter word would be pronounced the same if its last 4 letters were removed?

3) No visible flesh, nor blood, nor bone, but within time will walk alone. What are they ?

4) Which is the word in English which becomes short by adding a couple of letters to it?

5) Which is the longest word in dictionary -  not the real long word :)

6) I am 5 letter word. If you remove the first letter, I am a country.

    If you remove the first 2 letters, I am opposite of the 5 letter.

OK where are the answers - It will be posted as comments unless some genius has the hurry to answer it first.

YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN

Have you read the book YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN by Dr.Norman Vincent Peale. It really changes one's way of thinking from pessimistic to optimistic and from negative to positive. I really liked most of the bulletin points and quotes mentioned by the author which i thought of listing here.

• Persistence - Never quit attacking a problem
• Master Perception - Know yourself and try to learn your self.
• Be Cool - Believe what you can do - Think it out.
• Relax - Practice peaceful words and thoughts.
• Perseverance - Keep that positive attitude.
• Motivation - Release the fire inside you - The  power inside you - Identify all your talents.
• Self Confidence - Secret of Success.
• Practice creative Anticipation  - The power of positive outcome.
• Powerful Principle - Think first, Judge later.
• Practice word therapy - Serenity, Urbanity, Imperturbability, Equanimity.
• Ease up - Have a sense of Humor

"The more problems you have the more alive you are"

"You can be greater than anything that can happen to you"

"When you are afraid of, do the thing you are afraid of and soon you will loose your fear of it"

"Give life all you have got - thoughts,efforts,imagination,innovations,ideas etc - Life will give back what it has for you"

"Never take life seriously,nobody is going to get alive of it any way"

"Believe that tide always come back"

"Adversity cause some men to break, others to break records" - William Word

"We have forty million reasons for failure, but not a single excuse" - Rudyard Kipling

"The world is moving so fast that the man who says it cant be done is interrupted by someone doing it" - Harry Emerson Fodrick

I would definitely suggest the readers to read this book - Read, think, practice, write down all your innovative ideas, work on it - Finally make miracles happen, make your dreams come true.

That day is not so far and it is never late.

3 TECHNIQUES IMO (IN MY OPINION)

There are 3 techniques to learn swimming - IMO:
You are put into a swimming pool with swim suit and 3 guides,
You are put into a river with a rope tied and 1 guide,
You are thrown into an ocean and a brave guide jumps in to teach you before you die !!!
Which one will you prefer?


There are 3 techniques to learn driving - IMO:
You are allowed to ride a vehicle with 3 guides on a traffic full road,
You are allowed to ride a vehicle with 1 guide on a traffic medium road,
You are left alone with a vehicle on a no-man land with all type of roads !!!
Which one will you prefer?


There are 3 techniques to learn coding or programming- IMO:
You are drill-trained, molded and shaped into a super coder by 3 seniors,
You are spoon-feeded b(i)ytes of language by 1 senior,
You are left alone with the system to code and debug until it crashes !!!
Which one will you prefer?


There are 3 techniques to survive- IMO:
Depend on others until they die,
Depend on others' wealth until it gets over,
Depend on only yourself and no body else !!!
Which one will you prefer?

POEM 7 - PAST & PRESENT

Born was the ancient man in a dark world in the past,
Survival of modern man in current flowing brightful world of present!

Travelling to different locations was only by walk with human foot in the past,
Invention of Wheel varying from bullock cart to bullet train,

Period of time was determined only with natural changes in the past,
Invention of large to small ticking clocks and electronic gadgets and devices
changed the world of present!

Non-Vegetarian food and Vegetarian food in the form of wheat,rice,grains,
and thousands of food varieties are available in the world of present!

Ancient wars occured with arrows and weapons

POEM 6 - COLLEGE FRIEND

Even if its a small task which needs huge effort,
you used to finish it fast and simple - my honest friend!
The jokes you crack not only makes one laugh
but also makes one think,
The actions you perform not only makes one happy
but also makes one surprised !

Will you accept a medal of praise for your helping nature?
Will you receive a bunch of scholarships for your funny talk?
Will you acknowledge a flower chain of victory for your logical thinking?

Having the power of changing problems to solutions,
Having the power of changing failure to success,
Thus giving the first honor to our friendship ....

The confidence in you not only boost up the energy level in you
But also put a magnetic strength around all others surrounding you...
Let lotus bloom in your ideal way for your truthful life ...
Let roses spray perfume through out your endless hard work to sustain our mighty friendship ...

Whenever our college memories reminds you like a lullaby,
Let your first thought be our tremendous bond of friendship !!!!

Friendship Rocks,
Siva

POEM 5 - JUST THINK ABOUT

Whenever you avoid the delicious food which you don't like,
Just think about the poor orphans staying hunger out there for days !!!

Whenever you are engaged with problems, sadness and worries in life,
Just think about the disabled personalities who had faced everything
with will power and confidence !!!

Whenever you are facing continuous failures in life,
Just think about the famous persons who turned their poverty to power and success !!!

Whenever you tease and make fun of others,
Just think about your own infinite mistakes committed knowingly !!!

Whenever ego overcomes you after learning few drops of knowledge,
Just think about the frog surviving in well without knowing vast ocean outside !!!

Whenever you don't accept and impose your crimes on others,
Just think about the deadly consequences of an erroneous impression !!!

Whenever you feel prodigal and doesn't value anything,
Just think about the hard workers who struggle day and night to make a penny !!!

Whenever money, position, status and fame surrounds you,
Just think about the efforts of labor which always make you worth !!!

Whenever you feel greedy even though you are living in castle,
Just think about the born and brought up poor kids from Trash !!!

Whenever you are chased by sorrows and misery,
Just think about the almighty who guides you from inside !!!

Siva
