When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low but the debts are high, And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit... Rest if you must, but don't you quit!
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one of us sometimes learns, And many failures turn about When we might have won had we stuck it out. Don't give up though the pace seems slow... You may succeed with another blow.
Often the struggler has given up When he might have captured the victor’s cup; And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out... And you can never tell how close you are It may be near when it seems so far. So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
-- "Don't Quit" by Edgar A. Guest.
Thanks for an introduction to this gem! I hadnt ever heard of Edgar Guest..this is beautiful!
I love words. I am obsessed with all form of visual arts. I can look at star charts for hours and I own a tiny telescope. Loving these can't get you anywhere, can it? Neither will it make you a good son/daughter.
I am also a postgraduate from a premier Institute with hons and a gold medal, so I had a good thing going on career wise. And in my native, it was pure gold.
Then CSE happened. I wrote mains in my first attempt. Then, a cycle of sadness and despair.
Couple of year fast forward, CSE is a thing of past for me. I teach engineering grads in a premier Institute. I give myself solace saying that this is my chance to work for flaws in technical education in country, and I love all my kids there, but I can't stop thinking about LBSNAA and life thereafter.
I have age and attempt both for CSE, I don't if it's a good thing or bad... But you know, enough about myself, I would like to say something to all of you out there, everyone like khatoon.
This is coming straight from heart. You are all no less than a warrior. I respect you, and I want you to win, assuming what attracts you towards services is not grey. I want you to get in, it feels like I know you, reading your posts over years and years, and I want you to do what I could never achieve.
A big hug.
Aapke liye--
Kaante: self doubt Bahaar: the victory of having overcome the worst that could have been thrown your way.
One doesn't love the stars or music or anything of beauty to get anywhere. One just does. You're the best everything- daughter/son/etc/etc precisely because you're a good human being. Thank you for the hug. Lord knows i needed it
If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it
These lines had been my whatsapp status for ages, for a brief period when they removed the feature I had uninstalled the app I'm a different kind of crazy!

Thanks for the song, khatoon. And the kind words. Hugs are magical, but they are getting rarer by day. Atleast people I know think they are childish and mushy.
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.
P.S.: Invictus means "unconquerable" in Latin.
Dr you married or single ?
Single. I'm curious as to what prompted this question though.
How are you, Doc? And just in good humor, a memory, once you were taking suggestions on how to be a good catch here, am I right? :P I think versatile didn't see those.
