Dream Girl

Sometimes you are a morning pearly drizzle
And sometimes a dark and witty way of thistle

You remind me of splashing waves and a blissful path
and also about a rain crashing the night all apart.

You make me think of a moving breeze and a huge waterfall
And a stormy sky full of messy thunderstorm

You are just like a night blooming Jasmine
That rambles wildly in the wood

Like a carpet of grass in early spring
That tickles and kneads the bare foot

Your very simple nature makes me seek you
My heart always kneels and prays to perceive you

To me your presence is like a different world
While your absence leaves me completely swirled

You just rightly fill up beneath my eyes-lash
You are indeed an all new definition of romance

Burden of a Runner-Up

Is winning always that important, ideal answer would be no, it isn't, failure is considered to be a step towards learning, but then how many failures actually think in this way. We have become habituated to accept the consoling of others who decorate us with the title of a Runner-Up, and last thing anyone would want is to be a runner up. Why?
Its a tough job to suppress the feeling that one has when he is just a step from finishing line and someone else crosses it before him and the final whistle is blown. What he lost becomes more important than what he gained. Losing 1st place is far more devastating then enjoyment of achieving 2nd. He suddenly becomes a focus of criticism among the people, a man with greatest defeat. When anyone races, he becomes a representative of whole community, and the same community thrashes him when he fails to surpass their expectation of winning. Soon he happens to be a matter of comparison. Comparison with the winner and how better the winner was then him. Everyone points out the his darker side and he becomes an illustration of failure and then again his story of defeat is publicized. Runner up means just behind the 1st place, but only the same situation makes all the difference. Its actually very complicated to overcome the burden of being a runner up.
