Invictus by William Ernest Henley

At the age of 12, Henley fell victim to tuberculosis of the bone. A few years later, the disease progressed to his foot, and physicians announced that the only way to save his life was to amputate directly below the knee. It was amputated when he was 25. In 1875, he wrote the "Invictus" poem from a hospital bed. Despite his disability, he survived with one foot intact and led an active life until his death at the age of 53.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

long time!!

was just browsing some profiles of my friends and came across a blog nicely written and MAINTAINED.well i am oblivious about my blog falling in the first category but i sure know that it does not fall in the second.well there are reasons for that as well. i like to write but typing is bit of a hectic thing.

if there is any alien following my super dormant blog i would like to tell them/him/it/her/gygyi about myself.i am a confused impatient person.lately i quit my job thinking i will prepare for UPSC but from past 2 months i am following something steve jobs tells in his speech at stanford."you got to find what you love"..to be frank i like to be vella ,play football ,be with frenz,and sorts.but i do not see these qualities getting me anywhere..sometimes i think i should leave everything and be the real life protagonist of the indian version of the movie "into the wild".i do not know ???? why i am blogging right now.i have taken my lunch and there is another two hours before my frenz show up for football.oh!! yah from football i remember liverpool has lost again.:(.ever since i have stated to support liverpool it has started to loose .i hope it has nothing to do with me>

i have purchased some GS books for my preparation but all are still anew.coaching will start in june but till that time i do not know what to do???

if there is some coaching i can focus.well i think so..by the way is there any guy looking for an impatient friend to prepare for upsc??well nobody answered i will take it as a no.lol!!

i doubt how everybody is so clear about their goals and why not even one body is as confused abt life as i am.

MY TAKE ON UPSC.

"i do not fear journey the less but destination the more" .

MOVIES

movies have watched a couple of them .i would recommend social network for sure if you have not watched it as yet.the first ten minutes of the movie is freaking awesome.i am listening to it as i am writing this blog ..the first ten minutes of conversation....

due date is good .black swan i have watched because i liked portman in the star wars.but this portman was a different women .did not enjoy the movie as much as SN but yeah the acting is good.but who goes to a movie to admire the acting except for the critics.we go there to have some fun??do't wE?

i am tired already mr alien.thank you for bearing with me..

may all the souls in japan be at peace.!!!!

long time!!

hmmmm...hell ya!

thank god i am not a broiler......:-by some hen

if i were a chicken ,one of the following two things was possible

1.if i were a broiler(chickens farmed for meat) .it is possible that i would not be able to take a single step my entire.... short life, spending it in a stenched cage.i would be given the food that is cheap,that would help me survive the abysmal conditions of the cage with antibiotics in it , make me bulkier and ,ironically at the end ,after 7-8 months when i reach the slaughter size,i would be killed and would taste awesome to them ..the humans.

2.if fortunately i am an egg-laying hen .then ,unfortunately every single day one of my progeny would be chemically killed ,by injecting some chemical in the egg that i lay. and the day my productivity starts to decline(after 1 year which is 1/12 of my natural life ) i would meet the fate of a broiler.but i would be happy thinking maybe "thank god i am not a broiler for many simple reasons".

............luckily i am a human and can do my bit for the chickens by limiting the intake .i am asking every one not to turn vegetarian(if you are it's awesome if you could i bow to you!!) but,at least, limit your intake.don't be an extreme non vegetarian.

to get a first hand feel of their lives visit the place surrounding jama masjid or any poultry farm.

thank you god for the gift!!!

who ,jumps in a river to save you ,when he does not even know how to swim(and then drags you underwater to the shore)?,
takes a fight with six people(read "assholes") because they have already instigated the fight with you (and shares their landed kicks and punches with you?),
calls you every year, exactly before 12 am ,to wish you on your birthday and asks "i am the first right?",
fights with you the most on the triflest of things? ,
who sits beside you , when you are suffering from tuberculosis and reasons "waa,i have a strong immunity" later being scolded by the doc for spending time with you.....

a friend does.and not just any friend but your best friend!!.
thank you jiggi for being my friend for life!
may god bless you!
