Your pillow feels warm from your breath. You have been holding on to it so tightly to prevent tears from rolling out. Your hands tensely clasped around the pillow against ur face and your eyes shut tight, you know you cant cry. Life is more difficult than this moment. If you fail now, how cud u face up to whats in store for you?

It is just a matter of a few more breaths. This would be just another moment u wud add to the millions of instances thru which u survived in the past. And you clench ur fists silently controlling how you breathe, slowly inhaling and conciously exhaling... You say to yourself... "Just a lil longer and the feeling will pass. Just a vee little longer." You stare at the clock in a dreamy daze counting imaginary seconds until finally you can feel a sense of mellow overcome you. Your mind feels in control again and you are not choking over your tears anymore.

And you smile to yourself... proclaiming readiness for yet another battle of living life.... alone, away from home.

Last Weekend we (a group of 8) had been to Lake George and near by water bodies. Uploaded the photographs to the usual My Yahoo Photos. Made a compilation of a few good photos here.

I cannot teach you anything
What you learn, you learn on your own
But I can walk two steps ahead of you
And make sure you are safe alone

I will not listen to your complaints
or lend a shoulder for you to cry
But I can reason and debate self pity
and hope you'll understand why

I'll let you jump, if you wanna jump
and I'll pick you up, if you have a fall
But not before u taste the pain
or learn yourself how to stand again

I'll let you bruise, cut, and bleed
and watch you tend to all your wounds
I'll make you wish I was'nt around
Until some day you'll learn to stand ground

I dare not teach you anything
you better learn things on your own
For some day I wont be there
But I'll know that you are safe alone
