A poem that I wrote, but I don't remember why

Although, I am not very good at poetry, but this poem is appreciated by everyone, they bring different meanings to this poem, and I love to hear so many different interpretations. I would appreciate it if you gave your own interpretation.
This is a metaphor overload, so don't complain if I can't tell you the exact meaning, sadly even I have forgot why I wrote this


Looking Deep Into the Mirror

Does anybody remember the fucking laughter?






  


There's a pain that I feel, when I look into the sea, and the screaming of waves that keep crashing.
 All the time they feel the pain, but they come back again,and they never look back at the wide sea.

On a tree in my yard, there's a songbird from past, it reminds me how much I have lost it.
And I hate my 2 eyes, they keep telling me lies, but I know sometimes lying is forgiving.

In my street there is a girl, who wants to wear the pearl, but you know waves can never kiss the sea-bed
There'll be shine in the gold, if the sun gets too cold, and the sunshine will get us to living.

She is strong cos there's an oak, that will get her through smoke, but what happens when it sheds its own leaves.
Then the songbird does fly, when she looks at the sky, and her conscience will try not to give in.

There's only one side of wall and the wings would one day fall, then the waters will give up all dreaming. 
The rose will surely bite, if her thorns stay alive, and the red wine will live upto reason.

There are voices I hear, birds are dying in my dreams, and my knees are too weak to help them.
When you hum by her tune and you look at the moon, you will find soon that this isn't the real thing.
*******************************************

My friends tell me that it is apparently derived from 'Stairway to Heaven', because of that fucking songbird, and a similar rhyme scheme, but let me assure you, I seriously don't know what this poem is about, and what Stairway is about. Most probably, this was about me wanting to do different things other than study, or me not wanting to take the blame for pissing everyone off. If you think I am faking it, then visit this link.

8 photographs that inspired me to pick up the camera and how I took them

Iphones and Lumia 920 with their amazing cameras have got everyone try their hand in photography, and after some lucky shots they call themselves PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!. And we all know they are not, but after cursing them we take out our own camera and start clicking. I am like that, I think I stand somewhere as a good amateur photographer, and I can be an awesome artist if I practice harder and harder. Here are those photographs that led me into believing that I do have a potential. My photography style mainly consists of symbolism, with expressions and sometimes satire. Landscape photography, where I show some unseen places with different angles are also my subject. But right now I am trying to develop a technique for Vintage photography, because there are not many vintage photographers out there, I hope this technique will make me Unique, but that is when I develop the technique, so critique me as harsh as you can and do make me feel good.

1. First attempt at Satirical Metaphors

I just got the idea and set out with a white table, a wireless mouse, extra melted cheese and a torch. about 15 shots with different angles and torch effects helped me attain this. I wanted to give it a police search type effect so I put the torch just above the crime location, as if the mouse is stealing cheese.

Busted

2. First DOF play with darkness in background.

Diwali, the luminescence festival of India, comes once in a year, and what's better than taking out your camera and capture 'once in a year' moments? I experimented a lot and, I found that if focused at the nearest light source(very close) and a second light source a little away, with lowest ISO you can just eliminate anything in background. Actually there were a whole bunch of cracker addicted kids jumping in the background and I eliminated them, by chance.

Coherent?

3. First attempt at Symbolism.

So, one day My Uncle gave me a piece of paper and a pencil. And asked me to draw 'Relationships'. Okay So, he is very much involved in arts and stuffs and probably wanted me to be too. So I took out my camera, unchained this locket, and took a very simple and unintelligent photo. But this was appreciated by my Uncle, because he thinks that it represents how broken bonds are actually linked at the other side. Unusual philosophy, I didn't understand, but this surely motivated me to add symbolism to my catalog.
Apparent Broken Bonds

4. Application of Refractive Index

I finally got an opportunity to apply Ray optics in real life. So this thing is basically a RO water purifier, like like this thing over here. I found bubbles at the bottom and then some torch based play to get a sparkling angle, and got this. Although I admit, the background is a little dull.

5. Landscape photography

I actually don't appreciate Landscape Photography, because I believe, capturing what is already beautiful, is not a form of art. But there are some exceptions, many photographers Inspired me to take landscape shots a different way. This is the peak of Tiger Hill-Darjeeling, but I was looking for a spot where no tourists came, and I got this photo. I'll try Landscape sometime again.
Rest in Peace

6. Motion Photography and Editing

Take off
This picture is the result of about 6 shots, and I was glad to see the result. I was about 13 years old when I took this photo so, this was an achievement for me at that time, but the real gold came out when I edited this photo, although i don't like editing too much but here I lowered down saturation and some contrast too. I actually prefer the edited version. Also, this was a VGA Camera.
Take off b/w

7. Low ISO for B&W

I actually never knew that Low ISO for b/w photography is good, but I was really happy when I discovered that. Although I now know that it is a very common knowledge, but discovering it by myself, was an awesome idea. Combined with symbolism, this photo conveyed the idea of generation gap metaphorically, this photo shows two animals of same species, one who has got all the energy and other who has lost it all and is watching. I love grains, and noise.
Your time is up, my time is now.

8. WTF photography

Future?
I was not really sure what to submit as my entry in school photography competition, I asked my friend about many photos, so finally I lost all hope and submitted this photo with the caption 'Future'. Guess what, I was the runner-up. People can be fooled so easily.

I really hope one day I would become a professional photographer. You can tell me how awful I am.

5 things you won't ever achieve in your life

I am pretty much sure, no celebrity reads my blog. Actually no one reads my blog, but since I have been told by Robert Downey Jr. to do 'whatever the fuck' I want to do, I'll try my best to keep this blog going on.
So I have just given my Chemistry exam and now I have got no clue what to blog about. The exam was quite easy, but that made me look into the future I am heading towards. I though about every awesome thing that I am not going to achieve but I want it badly. Here are things you wont get in your life, no matter how hard you try, and congratulations if you do.

1. Play Guitar solos like Jimmy Page in front of thousands, or hundreds, or maybe even a dozen.

I'll try Guitar and Mudsharks!
Now you would start calling me Captain Obvious, but there are many aspiring guitarists (including myself) who want to be that famous and achieve that level of talent and guitar shredding power. The Best you can do is: Put your earphones on > Stand in front of Mirror > Stairway to heaven > And air guitar it by showing amazingly insane expressions.
So you play a Violin? Cool Jimmy doesn't

I have met many awesome guitar players, I meet one everyday(myself). And all those guitarists maybe able to play like Jimmy(If they sell their soul to devil), but they cannot invent something as awesome as that.
Because you know that you cannot invent a whole new style of playing guitar, you will not achieve this dream all of your life and if you can, I beg, please release your album. Please.

2. Own a Villa in Monaco

So That is Captain Obvious again. We all have visited Monaco in Madagascar 3, and some of the gamers have jumped through its roofs, but imagine, when you open your window, you see a beautiful scenery like this:
How good would it be to celebrate a dinner everynight this way.

But let me tell you, if you wish to live here, you see.... 52,353(USD)/sq. m.....so close your eyes and dream. A villa in Monaco. Open your eyes and back to work.

3. Get a job at Google X Labs

I thought a lot about this one, where it actually is located? Used GOOGLE to search for it but even Google has got no clue where its sibling is situated. As an aspiring engineer, I want to work in a firm where my innovative skills are tested and exploited. But If they make stuffs like I have been told, I am pretty much sure I wont ever get there. My theory on visualization of Google x labs goes something like this:        
     
If they don't make chemical X over there, I am not interested.
Forget whatever I said in last caption
                           
What is a Blonde doing in a Lab?
This would be interesting

4. Write a powerful, culture changing blog like Huffington Post

Large amount of storage space is compensated and wasted for the millions of blogs being written, inactive or deleted on internet. All of them want their ideas and views to spread around the world. They want to get famous, I want to do that too. But blogging is defined in two eras, before huffington post and after huffington post. This blog had everything that revolutionized what we see today on internet. But simply put, another powerful blog is not going to come, no one got time for that, nobody pays attention to others material. So sadly, just keep on writing, no one is going to offer you $100 million for your blog.

5. Solve a Rubik's cube

This one is easy for many asians(under 8) and extra easy for asians(under 88). But if some of you non asians think you can do it, well here is something for you:


Z-Rox : Titties you mean?
solving a pentamix? Oh you mean watching porn
3D sudoku or Katy Perry's Tits that is the question

IC life


So, my power changed back sometime ago and I stayed with my previous glasses for a long time. Today, I got my new glasses, and suddenly this world became beautiful. A lot beautiful. Everything makes sense now. Everything. My mom used to tell me that there is dust on my notebook. I finally saw the dust today and wiped it off. My room is not as clean as I previously thought it to be, there are crumpled papers and different ideas lying around here and there. Papers on which I wrote my dreams, planned out how I want my life to be, I see them now. They were stuck somewhere under my table. I thought they were lost, well now, I am cleaning my room. Then, I went ahead to see the outer world, and I was amazed to see different textures of leaves, trees have their inner beauty which I never saw earlier, but what I saw today was something different. Next to that tree, which might have been 90 years old or so, stood a man, very old man who was gazing at the tree. No, he wasn’t that old, but on his face were signs that told me he had a miserable life, and wanted to improve it. He feels that he is old, no he is not. There is still time to change the road he is on. Still…..

Then it dawned upon me. I picked up the dust layered book of physics. Wiped off the dust and started reading it, my mom thinks that I am preparing for physics exam…..No.


I opened the chapter where they told about chips and circuits. My teacher at my coaching institute told me that in a chip all the components have their own role, they have their own responsibility, and they keep the chip functioning till the current is drawn out of it. Its a very simple thing, but maybe I am looking too deep into it. I see this whole world as a big Integrated Chip. All the people are different elements that keep this big chip going on, forever and ever. No component of the chip is useless, every part has its own responsibility to carry out the work efficiently and smoothly. To maintain the balance, some people divert their current to others for sometime, but they surely will get it back and have their own time. I love my new glasses, they told me that this chip is beautiful.
