When someone takes an unusual path,
He has to face many unaccustomed odds,
Though he has to feel the people's wrath,
And that also to bear the negative nods.
Life is always a twofold untraveled road,
Which everyone has to erode,
All have to decipher it's secret code,
Turn their switches to a work mode.
The path that is uncommon,
Is usually less people have travelled,
Though the interests may vary in common,
Ultimately, the life's mysteries lies unravelled.

Recruitment- jobs are the major issues of attraction of one's attention. This has always been the thought drawing term in the society. Nowadays, the competition has grown so tough and sturdy that one has to give his 100%, in order to attain one. The fight for a decent job is an inevitable one in the metro cities as well . With the entry of more and more multinational companies, there has been relaxation to some extent.
Vicky was an average middle class youth. he completed his academics from a reputed college of the city. He was born and brought up in the city itself, hence was more or less sophisticated in his approach. After obtaining a college degree, just like other friends, he started looking for a decent job. He had applied for various govt. jobs, but since the results took longer to be released, the waiting period was long enough.
In the meantime, like his friends he tried to try his luck at multinational company jobs. He didn't really wanted to work in a private environment, but out of social pressure he had to appear for interviews. Many of his friends were already working in the these companies and drawing good salaries, eventually. When he met them, they kind of punned on Vicky, because he was unemployed.
Hence out of the social discrimination between the employed and the unemployed, he had to appear in the interviews. Once, while the time he was sitting for the interview, for a manger's job he met witha surprise. There were so many youngster's who came along for the interview, all highly educated. Some were MBA and some were technically qualified. Vicky was a post graduate in humanities and not very technically educated. He was getting nervous as the crowd there was letting him feel offbeat.
He however, was noticing one shortcoming in the traits of those youngsters and that was that they all used slang a lot and were lacking in manners. He contemplated within himself, that if the interviewer would be a gentleman, he would honestly consider Vicky's application for the job. On this note he kept awaiting his turn. After a consistent wait for an hour or so, the peon called up his name. He went inside confidently, though in a well mannered style.
The interviewer asked him to take a seat he thanked and bid adulation. There were two people in the room, one (as he introduced himself) was the Human resources manager and the other one was a psychologist. Vicky was asked a few questions relating to his education and hobbies. The most tricky was that what would he do if, he didn't get this job? Vicky answered it quite comfortably and diplomatically. He said that since he didn't leave any stone unturned and has nearly answered all the questions correctly, he din't imagine that he will not get the job. However, if it happens, he would not lose hope and will try for the job again after the 'cool off' period of 6 months. he praised the brand and the company.
Then there was a question based on psychological test and that was, what made people different from each other. He answered it cleverly and said that it was the behavior which distinguished people. Hence we should 'just behave' This reply clicked and was given an offer letter with handsome salary.
In our lives, we find different kinds of personalities, some pleasant and some very disgusting, hence we should just keep the checks on our behavior and everything else will fall into place.

A more common word to shed obligation,
An usual way to say that you are grateful,
To come out of an indebted situation,
That u are offering credit plateful.
Thank you is more often used,
To show that you are filled with gratitude,
To show that you are obligingly enthused,
You reflect your manners while are enthused.
Thank you is an immortal word without an end,
It can be said for anything and everything,
On this expression you can always depend,
Always used with the situations upswing !

There was a frog, who lived with his family in a small pond. That pond was out in the suburbs of the city. Hence less number of people were seen around. The frog lived in his own majesty as the competition at that place was fairly less. Every other frog who lived in that pond obeyed him, not due to respect, but out of fear. Fear of his rude behavior, fear of his large family, fear of his bullying behavior, but none uttered a single word. He lived like a king, the king of his small kingdom.
He trotted in the morning and during the day time, and during evening ate tasty food. He was very keen on hunting, hunting on insects and ants. He excelled in his art of catching a prey easily, which no one else had. That was also another reason, other's obeyed him. Moreover he was fond of eating, hence it showed on his body. Frogs called him Monty and he appeared like Humpty Dumpty. Well, he had wife and child- to take care of which he never did. His family was also hurt by his apathetic behaviour.
Days passed by and now it was about 2-3 decades since he stayed at the pond. One day he saw a very masculine frog who was well built came along to meet one of his relatives at the pond. The frogs around were praising him a lot, which Monty didn't like at all. He went closer and inquired about his wellbeing as a formal gesture and thought to malign him publicly. This intention was motivated by the reason that he (Monty), thought himself -a hero.
For his foul intention he thought of going on a wrestling match with that frog to let him down. He challenged him openly for the match. After much ado, the masculine frog agreed to Monty. The next morning Monty was was very hopeful for his win and rejoiced as he had won many indigenous wrestling competition around that pond.
That morning all the frogs of the pond were out and gathered to see the match. The match started, initially Monty seem to on top, but later on he was enervated and badly defeated by the masculine frog.Monty felt very bad at this and walked straight to his home. He thought that he lost his reputation and the image was tarnished.
After two days when he heard that the masculine frog is leaving for the town. He went to him and asked that how he defeated Monty. Then the masculine frog revealed his identity, that he was a professional, international wrestler. That he had won nearly 99% of the matches fought.
While leaving he threw a punchline at Monty in front of everyone. "Till a pond's frog hasn't seen the sea, he thinks that it is the largest reservoir on earth".
This punchline also has a great relevance for most of us.

The farmer sows the seeds, but not at once reaps,
He waits and waits, for the season to arrive,
For the long wait, he gets the heaps,
Tired from the wait, he does not connive.
When a student appears in the exams,
He doesn't get the result upfront,
He gets it only after facing many traffic jams,
To get the result, he doesn't show any stunt.
Every action bears fruit in due course of time,
Nothing happens defying it's time,
Even sound isn't produced, without striking a chime,
After the wait is over, the outcome is either, sugar or lime !

We are brought to a dead end sometimes, where there is no choice,
Not even to express our views, and even not to raise our voice,
This is the nature's containment on wrong human deeds,
To such a level that even, breathing is seized.
Is it the Nature's deed or an evil's malafide intention,
The question is this, which needs interpretation,
The living falling like inanimate, looks too sad,
To those who passed away, I have respect to add.
There is no choice before us than to sit back and pray,
For those who became the death's hay,
How helpless have we grown, that can't extend a helping hand,
What can be done, going closer is banned !
