Beautiful Poem written by an African Kid

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in sun, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black

And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey
And you calling me colored?????

Dreams do come true !!

Yesterday, we celebrated New Year according to our Hindu Calender. After every New Year day, people make new year resolutions and goals to be achieved in the year that started. I did that every year diligently until past 10 years.. Yesterday, while reading HTBrunch, I came across the article of "The Dream Catcher" wherein actor Sushant Singh Rajput had written 50 dreams he would love to fulfill. It reminded me of a dairy I used to write my dreams in..  So after 10 years, I combed through my cupboard and found my dairy. Went through past dreams, Voila!!

But considering that I am matured now, no harm retrying.. Maybe a different instrument. Writing a book..haha.. What was I thinking back then.. I was very sur...

I was clueless !!! I started with getting a brand new 12.1 MP camera, then writing a rough script… went through many websites in order to learn how to use Sony Vegas n Windows Moviemaker & other softwares .. followed by hunt for Autistic child/person who fits in the script.. Through word of mouth.. my masi’s friend Mrs. Bina Modak volunteered to help me out.. She is a great lady indeed!! ( A epitome of truthfulness, straight forwardness, down to earth & very helpful nature. A lovely mother of a lovely child- Satyajit .. who now is 21yr old autistic adult. ) She volunteered to be a part of my movie featuring herself and her child – Satyu.. A...

Zebra Syndrome !!!!

If as GSites, you are unaware of this syndrome "on tip of the tongue", you must have gone frenzied. Friends... If you really did so, you suffer from one of the symptoms of this esteemed "Zebra Syndrome". So now lets run through all the symptoms before I explain why it's named so...!!! Practically every med student gets it. You notice in your first year that you have every major illness on the face of the planet and as the agglomeration of the subjects increases, so does the intensity & it varies from student to student. So the way, we as students, can fight these irrational thoughts, is combating them with FACTS & with KNOWLEDGE...!!!! By the time, these important shields and weapons are acquired, we are almost nearing the end of med college and must have definitely placed oneself in this genus fullfledgedly.. But the fact goes that you as a GSite have been bestowed upon with this fervent desire, which doesn't let you rest and it can't fi...
