"Divin"e Voice

My friend has told me one of his observation which I want to share with you, "Being more ambitious is more dangerous than being not ambitious." Its not that I completely agree with him, but I will remember this for rest of my life.

The Murder of Roger Ackroyed

Spoilers Warning : If you are reading or are intending to read above book, please do not proceed unless you want to know murderer. Till now I have read three of Agatha Christie books. The first was "The Mystery of Blue Train". It was a really great book. I tried my best to guess the Culprit, with no success at all. Then I read "The Mysterious Mister Quin". It was a set of short stories. I was not much impressed by that book. It was more of a supernatural thing than a murder mystery.

I went to the last page (rather the back page) of the book which generally contains a short para from the book. I started reading it, but there wasn't any para from the book.

To be honest I wasn't present for decoration part of it since I had joined a test series for SSC and had to rush to give a test in the evening, but I really wanted to contribute. In fact, it was my idea to give a big Wall-Clock to school, which is hung near the entrance. I am not able to recollect all the events that happened during that day. There was no special dress code for boys but girls were wearing Saris. To make a guess, I think I must have spent most of my time teasing Vishwajeet (as usual) along with Vikram and Viraj. I also remember that all the 10th students had gathered in Vagale Hall in the evening. Since I am not a great

Song that touches my heart.....

Saab kuch seekha hamne na seekhi hoshiyari Sach hai duniyawaalon ki hum hain anaadi Duniya ne kitna samajhaya Kaun hai apna kaun paraaya Phir bhi dil ki chot chupa kar Hamne aapka dil bahalaaya Khud pe mar mitne ki ye zid thi hamari Sach hai duniyawaalon ki hum hain anaadi Asli nakli chehre dekhe Dil pe sau sau pahre dekhe Mere dukhte dil se poochho Kya kya khwaab sunahare dekhe Toota jis taare pe nazar thi hamari Dil ka chaman ujadte dekha Pyaar ka rang utarte dekha Hamne har jeene waale ko Dhan daulat pe marte dekha Dil pe marne waale marenge bhikhari Sach hai duniyawaalon ki hum hain anaadi
