The after-math

While on the phone with a friend of mine before the Maths exam, I was telling him that I was more worried about the Chemistry exam that would follow Maths.

In reply, the friend, sounding as if indicating that he was worried, too, said, "Yeah, the after-math..."

Polonius' Advice

,


"Look thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged courage. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but, being in,
Bear ‘t that th’ opposèd may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear, but few thy voice.
Take each man’s censure, but reserve thy judgment.
But not expressed in fancy (rich, not gaudy),
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man."


- Excerpt from Hamlet, The Prince of Denmark (William Shakespeare).

Something that I found rather instructive and intriguing. Tell me what you thought of it.

The better half?



Winston Churchill once declared with conviction: "Half the members of the Parliament are fools".
When asked to immediately apologise, which he did, he added: "Half the members of the Parliament are not fools".

Parting of the Ways

Heavy hearted, heads rest on the other's shoulder,
Fiery and ruddy are the eyes, blinded by many a tear.
The fire may burn out soon, but passions will smoulder,
And forever will remain in melting hearts memories so dear.

Reminiscences flood in, seeing anything from the Earth to the skies,
Swelling hearts and brimming tears indicate the Parting of the Ways;
Embittered souls curse unforgiving, unceasing Time that flies.
Will these young hearts ever re-live their memorable days?

Admiring the friend's strength, while his little weaknesses we've borne,
Giving warmth in despair, tickling ribs when tense, together we've grown,
In caring, comforting and compassionate acts, our fraternity we've shown,
Reassuring the heart that despite the Parting, we'd 'never walk alone'.
Though during the Parting of the Ways, the bereft heart grieves,
Strong is our Bond and shall not crumble like withered leaves.
