Ugliness of I – I & alone I

My vision my dream, after all it’s all about me,

When you are helpless, when you are sad, when you are in distress why do you change from me to WE!

Is it all about I, me, Us in Life,

But isn’t it the supreme cause of Universal Strife!!

Try and come out of the cocoon of I,

Nature will evolve in front of you & You will love the unravelling of WHY!!!

Hatred, self-catering interests and selfishness will always come back to its Origin,

How long can You exist & survive at the margin with that Moral Sin!!!

Siddhartha Rastogi

Siddhartha was born to a learned middle class educated family in Semi Urban India. His father was an extremely honest man who because of his honesty had to pay the price in corporate world. Mother is a determined woman who ensured that children are being well taken care off. After a few years of birth, doctors called Siddhartha, a slow child having flat foot. He would fall more than he could walk. Determined mother ensured all therapies for her son to come out strong to fight the world. Siddhartha joined swimming when he was in 6th standard. Seeing other children of his class, he jumped in 10 feet deep pool and learnt swimming on his own, the very same day.

From that day there was no looking back. He topped his city in 12th and went to score highest in his B school exams. During his profession as banker, he became youngest branch manager of a MNC bank managing their biggest wealth branch in the country. There he found love of his life and got married. His love of his life emerged in the form of his daughter who completely changed him for good.
