'The night is darkest before dawn'....
There are times in everyones lives where there is darkness and there is light. just when it seems that problem would never end, we see that small ray of light. a ray of hope that its going to get brighter. Life is that way.
I woke up one morning to stare at the darkness. The darkness looked right into me. Tightening its grip around me with each second passing by. I stood there looking at the sky. Helpless. Waiting for the dawn. A ray of light. My hope. It finally looked like it was coming. I could see a faint light far away at the horizon. My fear slowly started sinking. I was trying to fight back at the darkness with all my might. But soon, the faint light was covered. I soon realised that it was an eclipse. My ray of hope was covered. Very soon, I sank back into the horridly chilly darkness. It started consuming me from within like a worm in an apple. I am sinking. Without a life jacket. It all feels like i am falling into a bottomless pit. But still. I wait. I wait for the Sun to move away from the moon. I wait for my light to rescue me. To prove that my hope was strong.
Life is ups and downs. You do enjoy the light. But you do realise that soon, there will be darkness again. In this fight between darkness and light, there is no winner. There is only fear and hope. Its just how you take it.

The Walls Are Closing In
Why do we like the world the way it was 10 years ago??? Isnt it the same world??? Have we grown up and started noticing things differently??? Then do the 'already grown ups' dont see a change??? Or has the world really changed??? Humans have gone so advanced with technology and what not that they can send rockets to outer space..... Technology lets you see and talk to a person who lives on the other side of the world....
We have surrendered ourselves to methods that take lesser efforts..... Does that make us lazy or does that make us effective???? Are we using the resources from the earth or are we destroying it???
Every day, hundreds of thousands of animals are killed by humans because we want them as fabrics so that we look fashionable; as decorative items to make our house looks better........ But we call them maneaters when a hungry Tiger kills a man to feed its children...... How many Snakes are being killed for entering people's houses???? What we forget is how many anthills and burrows do we demolish to construct a lavish house for ourselves???? Shouldnt in that case, humans be killed everyday by every kind of species in this world......
We cut trees so that we can build a house, to construct roads, to construct entertainment zones for us..... But do they ever complain???? Who gave us the right to kill all these species??? We pluck out unwanted plants from our garden calling it a weed.... But arent we the actual weeds spoiling the nature on Earth????
We humans feel so proud that we are the most advanced, intelligent, capable and supreme being on the face of this world.... But arent we the ones destroying it??? Was man supposed to advance in technology??? Was he supposed to build things like this. Would the world be safe if man lived like the way he did in stone age? We always think that we are moving forward.... But aren't we walking straight into the end???
We humans dont trust each other anymore.... We divided ourselves through countries, religions, cast and color... But arent we all the same???
We all think the world has become unfair...... We think that people are trying to con us all the time.... The world seems like its becoming a worse place to live in... We wish for the world to be like what it was 10 years ago.... But arent we the world??? Havent we imposed this disaster on ourselves? Everyday, we think that the world is getting smaller through reach of technology to every corner of the world. But the actual truth is that the world is like a big room and because of man.............

The things I have lost
"I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess."
-Martin Luther.
I stay awake deep through the night, thinking.... Why do we fear losing? Why do we feel sad and humiliated at losing. Why do we celebrate winning? Seldom do we realize that the other person has to lose for you to win. Are we so selfish that we take joy in other person losing? We do not want to lose. But we want others to lose!
The things I have lost are countless. But there is one thing in everyone's life that they dont want to lose. For some, it might be a person. For some, a materialistic thing! For some, passion. For some, faith.
No one has a right to steal that one thing from any other individual! The pain when someone takes away that one thing from you is uncurable. The pain that is involved in losing that one thing leaves a mark on you for the rest of your life. Losing that one thing makes you start hating yourself. It lets you wonder if you could go back and change the course of the event. Keeps you wondering- would you still be able to retain that one thing?
I hve been robbed of that one thing in my life. In the course of getting it back, I have come to an arms distance from it. But still, I cannot reach it. I would love to push myself forward and grab it. But it keeps moving back. I wonder if destiny doesnt want it to come to me. Or is it not the right time to grab it? I rest my faith in the almighty's hands and pray to him to keep it safe. To keep it from harm's way. I also pray to him that he let me take it. But only if that is his wish and only when time comes. Untill then, I am bound to the pain that dwells in me. That pricks me and reminds me. All the things I have lost!!!

Adrenaline Rush!!!
Hey guys! Here is a life experience that i wanna share with you guys.
Do you have a thirst for action all the time? Does your heart beg you to pump some excitement into it? Are you an Adrenaline junkie? If yes is the answer, then check out 'DIRT MANIA'. Dirt Mania is Bangalore's or should i say Bengaluru's first off-road sport adventure park that hosts a series of ATV's and Nitro RC cars.
ATV(All Terrain Vehicles) are one hell of a machines designed to make your heart skip a beat with its enormous power and riding one on the amazingly crafted track at Dirt Mania is just the thing that satisfies your freak quotient. You can choose from a range of quad bikes ranging from 100cc auto transmission to 350cc Honda quads or even the 650cc Yamaha Quad bikes.
Prices range from Rs.200 to Rs. 600 for 2 laps depending on what you want to ride.
The prices may seem a little expensive but believe me, it was worth every penny to quench your passion for motor sport.
Whats more??? The Nitro RC car looked like a joke to me until i saw what it could do! The little monster has an 8cc engine that rips apart the dirt track at a whooping 70 kmph. You have to see it to believe it.
Last but not the least, Dirt Mania team has an always welcoming attitude and are really very patient to teach you how to use the quad bikes. Not only that, they also make sure your safety is their first priority.
All in all, Dirt mania is the perfect outing for all sorts of people and of all ages.

Let Go...
Hey guys!!! Im back with my second post. Like i said.... I have come up with a random craziness..... Its a song(more like a poem) that i have written. Hope you like it......
Its called "Let Go..."
-------------XXXXXXXX--------------------
I am walkin down the road,
the wind in my face so cold.
Got a voice inside my head,
that said 'The night seems so dead'.
I wake up every night,
just thinkin about the fight.
After all the time we spent,
is this how it is to end?
With tears rollin down,
wishing i could just drown.
I keep walkin in the rain,
Tryin to let go of the pain. (x2)
I just wanna ask you how,
you could deny our true love.
have you lost all the faith?
or you just wanna hate?
I cant, Understand this thing,
nor forget anything.
Im just walking in the rain.
just to let go all the pain.
ooh.......... hoo hoo.....
im walkin in the rain....
ooh.... hoo hoo.....
gotta just, let go all the pain......... (x2)
-----------XXXXXX--------------
Thanks again for reading this post. Pls do leave your comments......

me, myself and I
Hey!!!!
My name is Shirish Raghu although i like callin myself Freeek!!!!! Thats a nickname i got during my 11th. Anyways. I am graduate in business management. Working for an ad agency called Temple Advertising. Its all been 'so far, so good'..... And i just hope it stays this way. Well. I dont deny that i have my own set of problems. Who doesn't?
Im pretty much a sport enthusiast and i have played my share of football though i couldnt make it big. My ultimate dream was to play for Manchester United(or atleast at Old Trafford). That jus seems like ages ago now, though i still follow Manchester United season after season. A lot of people around me dont like Manchester United or have been shifting their loyalty to the clubs that top each year. But i will always be a Red Devil. I had played cricket for a while. Played Basketball for a while and then finally switched to the 1st love of my life..... Football(Soccer)... Well... I used to practice football regularly and sincerely. I used to be dedicated to my team(club). But due to some political issues within the club, I had to quit. And then, i was too much in love with my club to move on to another..... Yes. I am an emotional fool.
Anyways, life seems to be heading somewhere now and seems more settle. I can tel for myself(and ppl around me have told me) that i have matured and become more understanding about things than how i was back in college. I guess thats a gradual process in everyone's life. I think im on the path from being a boy, turning into a man. Well, I might not have a good salary, I might not have the right lifestyles and i might not be successful at whatever i do. But I have a good job(that im happy with), I have loving, supportive and understanding parents, I have a 'best buddy' in my brothers form, I have cheerful friends & family and mostly I have a LIFE!!! It might not seem to be perfect to you guys. But for me, I couldnt have wished for a better life.
There have been ppl in my past who are not with me anymore... But i can never forget them.... and some.... i can never forgive....... i dont wanna take names here(tryin to be politically correct).... ;-)
And i thank those who are still with me, wishing for my best and being with me throughout.
Life has always been an up and down for me.... But i jus wanna tel you guys.....
"Life is a game of football. You have to tackle your difficulties, dribble your faith & efforts towards the target and shoot to achieve your goal!!!"
