All that Remains...

The court ordered the excavation at the sacred/disputed site.
to search for evidences to interpret the past.the specialists were called in.Specialists who would give an opinion as to who had destroyed whose structure first.both the parties dreaded the decision,an end seemed inevitable-precisely what they had struggled hard to avoid-an END.dig they did and soon the shovels struck something else than a stone.they all dug carefully,and whatever it was, was present in huge numbers,they felt it all over the site. and then it dawned upon them as they all shuddered in disbelief..
remains it was...of all men and women who were murdered brutally,killed mercilessly,of all those people who realised the futility,only when it was too late.
bones and skulls strewn all over,of innocent victims,of wily perpetuators,all who went down for this 'cause' sans reason. in mockery, in contempt,they lie as an ominous reminder of our misguided beliefs and priorities.

finding the right _____

co-ordinating(read being present at) everyone's recruitment process without being a participant in that chaos is a privilige i have thoroughly enjoyed.the way we approach our "placements" to me is a mere extension of the choices we make in our lives.and i have found to my own utter dismay, disturbing similarities between finding a job and finding a girl.!!!
most of us keep emphasizing our resolution to wait for the right___ but a little later some of us realise that perhaps some___is better than no____.and of course all___ are almost the same.their offers are almost the same, just a few variations here and there.this desperation creeps in mainly due to the elders(HRs) who before rejecting our advances to their___ convince that we are not good for any ___ in general.most of us however do believe in these half-truths and adopt the the tried and tested strategy of "try and try and try again tommorow"until some ___decides u r good enough.that is to say try your luck from the first___ u come across till the fated ____.but..here's the catch- once some ___ selects u ,u r not permitted to pursue any other ___.(infidelity!!??).though in a lot of "other" places u can have more than one___.we are firm .of course u can have as many ___ unofficially(off-campus) as u can fend for.
theoretically atleast there is a chance of a dream ___ coming in.a dream ___usually tends to be a____,far superior in all respects,and everybody would want this dream___ but if u already have a ___u can contest only when almost everyone along with u has got a ____.therefore u must see to it that others also get a ____,so that later we can have the luxury of 2 ____(but this never happens no matter how well the economy is doing).Till then we stand by our unspoken rule one man one___.
