Oh No! Not again

'Well begun is half done'
How True, Its never well done
I started well,
Firm on my feet
Surfing with ease
I thought, A gud ending in prospect
A moment of indecision Cost me dear.
Oh No! I had done that before
It was my core
Now its no more
Mind said 'No', but Heart superceded
There went everything awry
It peeled my confidence
Throwing me out of my sense
Putting me in defense
And Finally sealed my end.

Then came the post mortem
And the blame game
No one talks about success
When you fail badly
Even trivia is deadly
Heard some utter
'Conditions were inclement'
''You were unlucky"
'You should have been more tough'
Can somebody just stop them?
Added up the frustration
Defeat is agonising
My heart is still paining
How i could have avoided?
And finally 'Why me'?
Oh No! Not again

Came home with a dull face,
With no one to embrace
Mouthed few filthy sounds
Got Tired and lied on the ground
Dont know when i slept
Waking up i said
"Its just another defeat"
'Bitter ones are yet to come''
"You are born like that''
Learn from mistakes''
I dont know whether it makes me wise
But, atleast helps in giving advice :)

Talking about Men's Rooms

Yesterday, I was reading an article (a serious one though) regarding this and how it affects the people outside. Today, I got an interesting mail.

I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"
I'm not the type to start a conversation in the men's restroom but I don't know what got into me, so I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"

And the other guy says: "So what are you up to?"
What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell him, "No........I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the guy say nervously...
"Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!!!"

It reminded me of that beautiful ad that ends with “One Black Coffee Please” ;) Its quite irritating, but we have to live with it. We cant eliminate it, but we have to try our level best to keep it at a low voice in a private place.
