Loneliness In Me

As I lie down on the lawns,

I see the moon shining bright

Swiftly I see the clouds stream by

spreading darkness everywhere

I want to curl up in cold,

in a dark room and sleep for 

hours together

As clouds float away in breeze,

next lump of clouds cover the moon

Obstructing the gentle light from 

reflecting on me.

No one can understand the emptiness in me

No one can feel the pain i feel

Loneliness is a feeling

Loneliness is an emotion

Loneliness haunts you all time

I have seen the loneliness 

spreading its arms.

No one can understand the emptiness in me

I feel alone, in midst of crowd

I feel empty, when everyone is around

Negativity fills in my veins

with loss of hope my heart pains

I try to fuel my steps

With Hopes

With hopes that,

the black clouds will soon disappear

and the morning sun will soon appear

Joy or sorrow

Today is different from tomorrow

We live with a glimpse of hope,

either a "new hope" or "no hope"

All my efforts go in vain

when i see the dark clouds again

I feel the loneliness in me 

Again and Again.....

No one can understand the emptiness in me

No one can feel the pain i feel

No one can understand the emptiness in me

Bay Decoration Contest

Have you ever wondered how did the concept of cubicles derive from? Who was the one who first came up with this concept?

The concept of cubicles or cubicle workstations was first introduced in the year 1967 under the name of 'Action Office II'. The design was created by Robert Propst for Herman Miller Research Corporation.

Bay/Cubicle Decoration is a type of creative activity brought up for workaholics, who sit in front of the system continuously for hours together . We spend major part of the day in our Bay, so it can be considered as our second home (Especially for IT people). 
For the first time the whole of our Business Unit was getting together to celebrate the Dussehra. As goes the saying “All work and No play makes Jack a dull boy”, we decided to keep few competitions to bring out the innovativeness and the talent the associates possess. Bay decoration competition was one among them. Its an creative activity and no one needs to be a interior designer to participate in it.

The theme that was decided was “Dussehra” . The theme proclaims the mood and this also creates its own environment around. As soon as we heard “Dussehra”, it created a festive mood in all of us. Me and my teammates came up with a few simple ideas to decorate the cubicles/Bay. It was fun to work in teams. 
We finally decided to decorate the cubicle just like “The way Dussehra is celebrated in Mysore”. The King, Palace, Elephants, Chariot, Possession and the temple on one side and the village life on the other side. Looks like a dream?  It all sounds imaginary when you listen for the first time is it? We too had the same thought before we actually started working! We never thought we would end up decorating so beautifully. We basically selected 3 colors, Red, Golden and Green. 
We kicked off with the preparation of Fort/Palace with thermacol and color papers, the King and soldiers in cardboard. It was an wonderful experience encouraging my teammates and working in a team.

Next day morning on the day of the contest, first we selected the corner 4 cubicles. Before we began the bay decoration we cleaned up the bay thoroughly so that it does not look untidy, All the 4 the systems were hidden under the Dupattas, then we covered one side of the cubicle with grass, houses, pond, field, well and a temple in between. On the other side of the cubicle came up the fort, King, elephants, procession, soldiers, temple and the golu. The entrance of the cubicle was decorated with Banana plantations. 
Finally the walls of cubicle was covered with the posters of godess and stories of “9 days of Navaratri”. To create the festive environment we covered the roof lights with Red and Golden transparent paper . The entire look of the workspace was changed and it gave a personalized touch to the workspace. At the end of the decoration the whole workspace looked so appealing and excellent.

No wonder the judges were impressed with the look of the Bay, The whole environment that was created and the presentation took the judges to a totally different world for around 10 minutes. They were impressed the very way it looked! Moreover, it gave us an opportunity to work in teams and bring out the hidden talents of creativity in us .

I have also attached a few pictures to get the feel of the Bay Decoration.

Enjoy Have a great time.

Nature Speaks

The sun has set behind the waves

Waiting to awaken the  moon

I could see the sky melting its colors

Showing its beauty and powers

I then see the sky turn black

And the darkness spreading its arms across

I now feel the lonliness in me,

And sadness fills across.

As tears flow down my cheeks

It makes me feel more weak

As I hear the nature speak

I dig my face into knees

I try  understanding the nature

which teaches lessons in its own way

I stop for a moment and raise my  head

And lie silently on natures bed

Understand the things that mean so much

laugther freedom and natures clutch

I now slowly open my eyes

And look up into the sky

I see the stars shining bright

In the beautiful sky of night

Nature teaches us lessons which are right

Still wonder,

How we let it out of sight?
