Regret in Pain

Wounds may come and go,
Pain is what we feel when we undergo

They heal with time leaving scars,
Scars won’t explain the pain

How many times do we say something that we realize immediately was not the right thing to say?
How many times do we look back on a mistake and think, if only I had not done…?
How many times do we do something that we wish hadn’t done?

You can’t change your past
You can’t change what you had said.
You can’t change what has been done already.

GOD, sing, sing the song
which will bring the dreams of tomorrow,
Of sunshine, not of rain,
Letting go of the memories
Which trap my sorrows inside of me.
You are my only survivor,
Bless me thou with fresh breeze, that will wash away my deeds

Do you call it regret, sorrow, repentance?
Do you think about what might have been?

The only way to get out of it is,
Forget about regret and focus.
Focus on today, and not your past
Focus on what you can do, and not on what you dint do.

The only thing to repent is to sincerely say, ‘I’m sorry’
Don’t live your life regretting yesterday.
Live your life so tomorrow you won’t regret today

Trying to let go of these memories of sorrows
which are trapped inside of me
where I feel alone, no one hears me cry.
I close my eyes and I see my dreams,
Dreams of tomorrow, the way I want things to be.
I want to cry, I want to cry,
Tears from heaven falling from my eyes,
Wash away the pain which keeps control of me.

‘Anything is possible with hard work and dedication’

By Maithili Vaze |Posted 05-Jul-2013

International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme results are out with 78.54% of the over 127,000 students at over 3,600 schools in 145 countries worldwide passing the test.

MiD-DAY spoke to two star students who are amongst the toppers from Jamnabai Narsee School, Vile Parle, securing a score of 42/45.

Nikitha Vanwari said, “I am very happy to get such a score. I had not expected such marks but anything is possible with hard work and dedication. I studied around six hours every day and am planning to do engineering from the US. I have done my 10th from IGCSE and 12th from HSC board.”

Another topper, Mayank Kumar, said, “IB entails continuous study for 2 years. I did not study for a long duration, but still had to keep in touch with the subjects daily. I made sure that I studied for more than 10 hours daily. I joined classes for subjects like Maths and English. I am planning to study in London School of Economics.”

Interestingly, both parents of both students aren’t familiar with the IB board and so they got no help from that front at home.

Talking about Mayank, his father, Rajesh Kumar, said, “I am proud of my son and we will do anything for him. He can do whatever he wants and we are there to motivate him to do it. Mayank surely studied for a lot of hours daily. Sometimes he used to sit till 5 am.”

Residents of Campa Cola go on hunger strike

By Maithili Vaze |Posted 02-May-2013

When residents of Campa Cola visited the Chief Minister yesterday, they were refused help due to the Supreme Court order. Having knocked on all doors, they now feel that only a miracle can save their homes from demolition. As a result, six residents have planned to go on a hunger strike, saying they feel like refugees in a war-like situation. Residents also say the BMC must wait till all their legal options are exhausted.

Usha Samdariya, a resident of Patel Apartment going on a hunger strike, said, “Rather than dying tomorrow, it is better to die by going on a hunger strike, as we have no idea what will happen on Thursday. We seem to be living in an undemocratic world where there is no justice.” Another resident Sunanda Mehta said, “We would rather die in our homes, than die on these footpaths. Why are we being meted out such injustice.”

The Supreme Court has decided to hear the residents’ petition today. Advocates representing them have sent letters to the BMC and the concerned assistant engineer in charge of building proposal, Parel, drawing their attention to the latest developments. The advocates have also requested authorities not to resort to any coercive action against the residents as the petition is to be heard at 2 pm today. Some residents told MiD DAY that if the BMC comes to demolish their homes, they will stand firm and not leave their flats
