Promise to Love

May thy care
Forever Grow
May the new age
Declare eternal love

The age of teens
Freedom to love
Its our time
Make it last

I thank
Thee God
For sending this
angel down below

I promise thee
To treat her
The best
I know how

To you
I promise
All that I am
All that I will be

Hackathon

    A Sunday well spent. We, IIITA Firefox Club along with Tech Society, IIITA organized a Hackathon at Indian Institute of Information Technology, Allahabad. The participation was huge for a first time event,with more than 30 teams registered from our college alone. It needed both our blood and sweat to get permission, plan it out and tell people about it.
    There were two general themes presented to the participants, one was Social Welfare and the other was college related help. The ideas were quite exemplary to say the least. The best part was quite surely the brainstorming session. With ideas flowing to and fro, it made me realize the fact that the junior we are college, the more imaginative all of us tend to be. This is a sad fact but rather hard to change because of various reasons that have been discussed for a long time and are well known.
    There were quite nice ideas, some were like integrating the medical system, then there were quite some on the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Then some focused on helping the blind. Those are just the ones I know about and helped a little out in. Some actually showed quite a promise as a product that can lead to a good entrepreneurial start-up. As I was mostly focused on helping others out, I just made a small plugin that just counts down to a date. While the idea was to count down to the nearest available blood donation camp date in your locality, I didn't have the requisite time to make it, as most was spent in organization of the event. Possibly, will make it someday soon. For now it's just a timer. You can see it on Blood donation.

There were even two robots build up, one was a search and rescue bot while other was a blind help bot.
     All the code as usual in a Hackathon is owned by the participants for use at their discretion, so you may or may not see some of them. The jury is still out on the Hackathon.

The Woman Who Loves

This is something I just came up one day thinking.



She sits there beaming
Like she has no care in the world
But her eyes betray
the love and trust she holds

She trusts you
With what she never had before
She trusts you her heart
Do never a wrong by her

She is the spark
That lights up
The darkest recesses
Of your ebony heart

Give way to your heart
Leave your fears in the wake
Open your heart
And give her all she wants

Count thyself lucky
To know the love of a woman
Far more than you could ever
Have hoped to receive

Because when cometh the day
That you are at your lowest
She would be the one
Standing by you still

The one who will
acknowledge you
understand what you feel
and love you all the same

The one who completes
your single pod of a pea
Don't be vapid enough
to let her leave

That's the woman
who will stay
till eternal life
is still
