Bewildered was I,where to go not known...
N the sun's scorching rays hurt me more than ever
but then the path I was shown..
The path that I could have found Never..
While the rest deterred the pathway to the ultimate aim...
I learned to keep hope when the day was dark...
n yes I rejected name and fame..
For he said thats not the way to embark...
Temptations , delusions and all the grandeur...
What could have been what would have been had I not ceased..
Fleeting were they no not at all secure..
And they would have left me besieged...
The path wasn't easy, the choice even tougher..
but quitting was not the domain i would choose...
I knew one day the sorrows it will buffer..
lest No No I won't loose..
What followed was perhaps inevitable...
I fell down, I suffered and help i need...
then a help came, a help that was credible..
and the wounds it slowly healed..
The journey continued, with more zeal and zest..
seeking new paths I went faster than before..
and I closed in, closed in to the end of my quest..
falls and impediments I would take no more..
The more I knew the better it got..
and the target I could see clear..
and I alone was good enough I thought..
as I closed in to the target, I was took over by fear..
No not alone I could go all the way..
No not alone I could conquer my inner nation..
I was weak too easy to sway..
I needed and I got my true Inspiration...

The A Levels Fiasco...
Class of 2012: Three people from my class, and approximately 10 in all,dropped out from IBA because they coudn't get the required grades, as demanded by the IBA in their A levels exams.
Class of 2013: Approximately 63 people dropped out from IBA due to their A levels grades.
The reason for this huge increase in no: of dropouts is IBA's new, and tougher, criterion on A levels and intermediate grades. Last year they demanded BCC minimum in A levels, and a 60% intermediate score, this year, they have upped the ante to BBC minimum A levels grades and an intermediate score of 65 %. This increase in minimum grades may be a part of the toughening filteration process of students, ( a part of the IBA strategic direction).
Whatever the case is, it has left 63 people completely distraught. Few days ago, I asked a freshy about his A levels result, he said he's out of IBA, and he was most concerned about facing his family and friends, whom he had given celebration parties for getting into IBA.
We certainly cannot feel, or even sense, the agony and pain these dropouts are suffering from, and it is very easy to lose hope, but that should be something they must avoid, to move on...
Our best wishes and prayers are with you all.....
Cornering Individuals
Election campaigning is at its peak with candidates and their teams mustering as much support as possible, in the midst of all this some dirty tactics are also being used by supporters of one of the parties. Today I was at campus, after a long while, and I observed people talking politics everywhere, (perhaps it made sense because 50 % of the students did not need to be there on the first place), but the most disturbing part was the lack of respect for the opponent and the lack of a level playing field.
I saw people mocking their competitors' supporters as people who are bewildered, who don't have the sense of what's right, or even as fools. This trend has been quite prevalent from the second semester, and has put an unnecessary fear in the minds of supporters of a party that is apparantely "WEAK" .
There is still a long time before we could decide the winner, the strong or the weak, but sadly, campaigning today, seemed to be focused on cornering individuals rather than proving own credentials.
There ought to be some difference between diabolic locali politics, and politics in one of the most prestigious institutes of the country, but then again, perhaps some people involved in politics of this institute are both Local & Diabolic politicans....
