I feel cheated, disgruntled and extremely angry!

There  is one important issue which thoroughly and seriously needs to be addressed right here right now. Never ever I thought that somebody from my own blogosphere will end up plagiarizing . For me, my blogroll is sacred as it has the links of few good blogs which I really love to read. And above all, the awards which I gave away to the fellow bloggers was purely based on the creativity, talent and the zeal for blogging . But right now I feel betrayed and extremely sorry for Kiran Manral because one such blogger from my blogroll dare to commit the sin of plagiarizing and taking away the credit of the creativity of another blogger. On a previous note, I too was victimized by plagiarism ( my post “A meeting with plagiarism)and so I share the same feelings and sympathy with Kiran. I have deleted the blogger’s link from my blogroll and I am officially stripping the blogger of the honor of “The budding blogger award” .

For me my principles matter the most in life and if today I wouldn’t have done this I think I would have cheated on my values and the entire blogosphere

Till then chao!!!!!!

A prison of thoughts

It gave me a shudder in my neck when I woke up last night,

petite it was as if ready to take a flight,                      

I gave a glance to it, oh! what a beauty it was,

Alas ! don’t take away my snitch, it shouted with aplomb,

I passed forth a dark knight, blissfully carrying it in a crimson pouch,

who knew what it prophesied when I saw it again sitting on a couch,

the snitch prophesied  the sky will turn black when you touch my knee,

I bent to touch its knees, when it passed me the key,

open me up , you are my master , you are my dream,

the key unlocked it , whizzing through the room perfectly like cream,

you gave me freedom, you gave me pride, keep the snitch with you,

as a token of  my joy, for you are my master , you are my sky,

I am  nothing but a thought who escaped the prison with a sly.
