Slaves of the System

When we are born

We are taught the power of

Truth, intelligence and substance

But what happens when we grow

Nothing but become slaves of the system

We idealise Mahatma’s life

And by following his belief of

Becoming a change you want to see

And trying to apply that change to the beaten path

But then what happens when we try

Nothing but become slaves of the system

We thrive for a successful life

And try every path to get it nigh

Plans to turn the tables of our future

But often land up struggling for recognition

But then what happens when we strive

Nothing but become slaves of the system

We are young with ignited minds

Not the slaves of systems to abide by

Help us in developing systems

And not following the forbidden ones

Propel us with your experience

So that we can develop a better future for our generations.

From field experience to academic ambience, people interaction and exploring new ideas have been my area of interest and has proved to be stepping stone towards my achievements. Creativity is my core skill, be that vision to see the world or to work towards something aesthetically, creativity exists in everything. I am an academician by profession and the creativity is my passion. Academician: Shifting from advertising field to teaching advertising wasn't in my dreams but I must say it is one of the most challenging and coolest profession altogether.
