Help him please !!!

I am writing to you on behalf of the entire student community of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT Kanpur). With deep sorrow, I put forward the bad news about Mr. Anand Narain Pandey being diagnosed with Blood Cancer. Mr. Anand Narain Pandey is a 3rd year PhD student in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. He was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He has been referred to AIIMS, New Delhi and was admitted there on April 21 for further investigations and treatment.

Anand's condition was critical, and the treatment began on April, 24th. As you must know, Cancer treatments are extremely costly and in Anand's case, the estimated cost for full treatment is around INR 2,500,000 (approx USD 60,000). Consequently, it is impossible for his family to shoulder the cost alone. So we, at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, are trying to arrange for funds from all possible sources so that we can pro! vide financial support to Anand's family.

Anand is a very bright student. He is a silver medalist from Banaras Hindu University. He comes from a middle class family and is the eldest of 3 sisters and 2 brothers. His father is a lawyer in local court and is not able to pay the required amount of money for his treatment on his own.

The Ranbaxy report about Mr. Anand's illness is accessible at this link http://www.iitkalumni.org/RecentNews/ranbaxy.pdf and it opens with the password G0120.

Under these circumstances, your support will be highly appreciated and will help save the life of a bright research scholar. The Bank Account Information follows where the transfers can be made.

Winds of Change

India an awe-inspiring nation,
Doesn't ask for any obligation,
Has thousands of years of proud history,
has always been a mystery,
Present is what matters now,
to make everyone again wow,
But the question remains how.
We are not short of talent,
All we have to be is gallant,
Instead of working for petty things,
Strive hard to free your country,
and enable it to spread its progressive wings,
Through our lives all we do is earn wealth,
leading a life full of stealth,
Choose a path that is paved with glory,
After a while you will feel a bit weary,
Because you think you are the only one,
But when you look back,
For others you will brighten the path like sun,
Comparing us with others is a foolish mistake,
We know we are lot better and have lot more passion,
than their faith which they fake,
Its been 50 years , yet freedom is what we seek,
developed on our own, stood on our own feet,
Its time to get back on the winning streak,
We should all join forces for the common goal,
Take an initiative and realize our role,
small difference that we make ..will contribute to a bigger cause,
Your name will find place in the pages of history ,
If you could gather the courage and rose.
The winds of change are flowing,
our confidence is growing,
Its time to rise to the occasion,
and work for our nation...

In need .. Indeed

They say that Friend in need ..
Is friend Indeed ...
But thats the friend one need ..
Who can read his mind ..
as well as he can read ...
is it dependent on his deed..
whether he can savor a friendship free from greed ..
Whom do u call a friend ..
who stays with you till the end ..
or one who always has help to send ..
The one who lends you a helping hand ..
when you are drowning in the puddle of sand ..
The one who laughs at you and with you ..
or who cries for you when you are through ..
is he for you more than you..
but you only found him after you ..
you decide your mates ..
with your intertwined fates
opening the gates ..
which bring happiness and sorrow ..
and in the end what you got is what you borrow..
All the love that they gave..
its for others ..
not for you to save ..
But in this world .. can you expect to find a companion ..
where everyone is selfish .. selfless is none ..
and friend is just a person .. whose company you seek ..
so that in loneliness you dont freak ..
was that the word supposed to mean ..
you would have known ..
if only there was a friend you would have seen ..

I, Me and Myself

I hate to be a superstar ..
They dont know who they are..
You get all the people you want ...
But still loneliness is thr to Haunt ..
All they have is fame..
Life for them is nothing more than a stupid game ..

I dont want to be Business man..
and sell entire humanity ..
for making my life as gud as it can ..
All then money in this world is no gud..
Search for inner peace.. you should.

I dont wanna be a polititian too ..
And make fake promises
that one day I forget to do..
Showing dreams to others is great ..
But its unethical to play with their fate..

All I wanna be is just me..
In long run whatever that may be ...
You have to know urself better .
before attempting to know others rather..
Thats what I m doing now ..
Dont know this search will end how ..

Life for which I crave...

The life for which I crave..
Will be better than being stuck in dark cave...
On the walls I am looking for a hole ..
from which I can see the outside world ..
and the light enlightens my soul ..
I wonder how living in the mountains feel ..
instead of living inside the structures of steel...
smell the flowers, under the vast blue sky..
watch the sun rise and the day go by...
staring at the sky all night ..
forming the images in your mind ..
by arranging the stars shining bright...
U feel like stars are there for a reason..
they tell you a story when
they move around with the season..
A leaf in the river that by itself rows
observing the sparkling water as the river flows..
the wind flowing kissing and hugging your hair ..
spellbound you are, the sight is so rare..
getting wet in the rain..
washes away all your pain..
living on the food being offered by mother earth..
trust me .. This kind of life has its worth...
You lose the value of the gold ..
day by day as you grow old ..
the only thing matters is the memories..
collect them through out your youth..
let go of the tension and worries...

Their Love

It was by chance that they first talked...
It was then he knew ..
that girl will be the one among the few ..
By whom his world will be rocked ..
He was left spell bound and shocked..
her voice gave him the sensation..
like sweetest melodies played in succession..
As flowers wait to blossom for spring ..
He kept waiting for her ring ..
Days passed by like years..
and then came the fall..
That angel came back in to his barren life .
to shower seeds of love and make them ripe..
This time he was not going to let her go ...
They cherished every moment together ..
and time went by smootly as river flow ...
The two lovers used to meet near the lake..
There was only love in their hearts ..
Their feelings were pure .. nothing was fake.
The couple had their first date..
after an endless wait
Both felt a bit uncomfortable at first..
soon they developed mutual trust..
they shared each and everything ..
but relentless time flew with its wing..
soon came the moment of separation ..
they had nothing but aspiration
Watching the sunset
they took this pledge.. to never upset
This thing that they had going..
They didnt know what god had in mind..
their castle of love was crushed ..
by the ruthless blows as the twister wind..
the castle of sand that they built on beach..
the love they had .. now was out of their reach.
they signed a contract with destiny..
which destiny itself had to breach..
the lovers went their separate ways..
like all fairy tales .. this one also had its happy days ..
but sad was the ending ..
the desire for love in their hearts ..
still unfulfilled and pending ..

Alone

Life is not what its used to be like ..
when the sky used to be clear and the sun shone bright...
Now the clouds have covered all hopes..
I have lost control over my brain lobes..
In despair I look back in to my past....
those good times flash before my eyes ...
I drown in the sea of memories ... thats so vast...
I wish the choices that I made could be undone..
Trapped in this cage... I cant move and cant run..
like a bird with no feather.
only dreaming to breakthrough and fly..
I see my dreams shatter
Everytime I try . ..
Is this a nightmare...
wake me if you really care ...
I want this to end...
I want my life to mend..
These clouds of disappointment to ascend...
i want to live my life again ...
Looking at me .. these clouds are crying ...
And tears are falling as rain ..
I dont want them to sob and moan...
I am better off alone ..

Dream on Dream on

Dream is the world that we create...
no matter what says our fate ... .
optimistic is all you have to be ..
because after nights of darkness..
the light of hope will set you free ...
Failures come and go ..
but on your flowers of desire ..
never let parasitic plants grow ..
dreams add colors to life's painting...
at times they may appear like fainting...
Holding on to them matter.
dont let them ever shatter ...
so Dream on and dream on...
You wont even realize when,
everything that you have will be gone ..
but dream are forever ..
and have many obstacles in its path like river..
but when it makes it to the sea ..
thats when you set your imaginations free ...
Then comes a day ..
when at the end of the tunnel ..
you see a ray ..
A ray of hope ...
hanging down from ur dreams a rope ..
that takes you to heaven ..
You then float on cloud no 11 ...

India

This is the time. .
we shouldnt whine..
The moment of pride has come ..
All has been said and done ..
We used to blindly follow ..
Now the clouds have cleared ..
Its time to challenge the hollow..
make way for the sun light ..
which had been long feared...
This no longer is the tail ..
Its our destiny to lead a new trail..
After 200 years of slavery ..
we are afraid no more ..
The world is going to witness .. when this nation comes out of its den and roar.

No love for me

For me no love ..
Says one who lives above ..
I ask What is my fault.
he responds after a halt ..
and says You dont deserve one ..
I accept not being his best son..
But What did i do wrong ..
for being cursed to wait for so long ..
Still end up having a broken heart ..
Which had been repeatedly torn apart..
I have lost my peace ...
my innerself never seem to be at ease...
With something eating me from inside ...
Cant find anyplace to hide...
Those memories always come to haunt me..
I want to breakaway..
to findout how its like to be free ..
Afraid to even look inside my soul..
surrounded by darkness dark as coal..
When last time I checked.
I was not this much wrecked..
unrecoverable Damage has been done ..
I have lost .. and u all have won ...
Why was i chosen to be the one ..

New year

First day of the new year ....
There is a smile that I wear ....
We waive goodbye to 2007 and welcome 2008..
May this year fulfills my dream .and ends my wait ...
After all 2007 was all that great ..
I know I am half way there ....still have to find my destiny lies where ...
I guess I have to wait for my dreams to blossom a little more ....
Until I hear a knock of opportinuity at my door....
You know what 2008.. You have my faith ...

Hell ...

There was a time,
When I used to be nescient,
And thought that love was a crime..
Didnt know what love meant,
And then came an innocent girl ,
WHo opened for me a new world ,
A world full of happiness and joy,
AT first I was a little coy,
But soon this world lusted me in,
Her charm over me soon had a win,
I relinquished my heart at her call,
Like trees shed their leaves in fall,
I gave into the pleasures this world brought,
never knew what I really sought,
In the back of my mind I felt,
As if the dreams I once had,
are all going to melt,
Was born with a burden
Which I always bear,
Have to fulfil my destiny,
and get rid of this fear,
This world and its delight were all too much for me to possess,
SO I waived this angel a goodbye,
leaving myself to my distress.
Till this day I pray,
that I shall be forgiven one day,
Thats not gonna happen,
I have to suffer in hell ,
My place is not in heaven...
