Networking

 

Networking is a dynamic thing which can take anybody by storm,
And it is proven by the rate at which ‘Whatsapp’ groups are formed;
Where half of the members don’t have the clue,
Why the group was made and why they’re in the loop!
 
Networking doesn’t start during the formal session,
Instead it blossoms among people with common passion.
Whether it’s loitering around EDI Maggiewala,
Or sharing together ‘woh chai ka ek pyala’.
It‘s even catalyzed by sharing a puff,
Along with elements of intoxication termed as ‘stuff’.
 
Synergy based networking is of a different kind,
Generally, sports field is the place where it unwinds.
If one manages to hit a few smashes more,
Or able to put on board a challenging score;
Then he/she is considered to be a person to reckon with,
Then, the link is set and one can even bank on it.
 
Social Networking is the most popular one,
Out of addiction, people use it for fun;
The craziest one has the most happening timeline;
And mostly they end their conversation asking,
“Your place or mine?”
 
The geeky network is developed over taste,
Not in a restaurant but in a library space;
They devour upon books/magazines of all types,
And carry with them a sensible vibe;
“The gyaan” sharing sessions become their uniqueness,
And, they won’t mind whether it’s a corridor or a hostel mess.
 
The alfresco networking is a special category,
And it becomes for many a matter of worry,
“Should I go out with him/her’ appears to be a big question?
The cost-benefit analysis comes handy for finding the solution.
 
The preconceived network is exceptional class,
The study of personality forms the basis for the mass,
The individuals connect only if they’re high on compatibility levels,
Else the routes are separated irrespective of the distances you travelled.
 
The professional networking comes with different features,
Like exchange of cards and positive body gestures;
People meet and greet in engaging manner,
Exercising their learning of ‘communications’ banner;
As soon as the meeting is over, 
one start stomping feet,
and switches from ‘Sanskaari bapuji’ to ‘Yo-yo’ beats.
 
At last,
The networking is actually easy to crack,
Especially in B-school it’s a well-known fact;
But it appear that EDIots have come up with their own style,
and, they can sense 'business' just by the way you smile !!!

What's in the age?

One day,

I was talking to my younger cousin,

Who was busy fighting a virtual person,

and was subsequently thrown out in the last bout,

I asked for my turn, while he was in doubt.

But, he resisted citing an interesting reason,

He said I'm too old to enjoy 'the Play Station'.

I was surprised & irked at the same time.

Thinking, what was the logic behind quoting this line?

Then,the chain of thoughts occupied center stage,

And the question cropped up, 'What's in the age?'

When Mickey Mouse doesn't think of whom should he amuse,

When 'the Famous Five' can solve a criminal case after finding the clues;

When Harry Potter delighted everyone to its praise,

When Mr. Bean entertained without uttering a phrase;

When the newspaper offers everybody to flip through the same page,

Then, tell me folks, What's in the age?

Sometimes, a youngster can become an inspiration for many,

Not just for you, but also for your granny,

It might be because of one's style of making a penny,

But, the age surely doesn't create botheration for any.

When Justin Bieber can set twitter trends on fire,

No matter what Oprah Winfrey desire;

When 'Sanskaari' jokes sets everyone laughing out loud,

And being retweeted by Kim Kardashian leave them feeling proud.

The quirkiness with 140 characters makes a difference,

So, what's the point of seeking age as the reference?

When the season cycle remain same for all,

Some enjoy summers, others like fall,

It's more a matter of mood and nature,

How can age factor justify this feature?

Sometimes, a Lieutenant performs better than a Major,

Though both underwent the same training of becoming a soldier,

It just happen to have occurred in different time frame,

Where both enjoyed equal opportunities of the game;

But, one acted brave & exhibited courage,

That is what differs them, its not the age !

When social issues affects equally,

When the political constraints disturb mentally,

Then, an 'Aam-aadmi' factor consolidates this rage,

And raises the same question, what's in the age?

Even the friendship doesn't ask for the age tag,

And is catalyzed by elements of fun & gags,

If your expression is bound by the psychological cage,

Just ask, What's in the age ?  :)
