Hi friends,

This post is about my venture, thewittyshit.com

Being a creative guy, I failed to succumb to the technical jargons that IIT had to offer to me, and I decided to take the uncommon path - the entrepreneurial path. My start-up is an online-networking-cum-merchandising venture, which will be focussed around one-liners fabricated by the aam-aadmi.

We've openings for young and dynamic people who would be interested in working full-time or part-time with us. If you're interested, read the careers section below.

About us:

www.thewittyshit.com is a networking-cum-merchandising website intended to tap surges of creativity in common people by creating a network of people who are good with words(especially one-liners), providing them a customizable-space to record and host their 'witcraft' and giving them an opportunity to get incentives for the same by merchandising. We believe that quotes are for those who don't have a say for themselves. And if you've the wit, you're equipped, to fabricate your own quotes.

With us, you can get your facebook status messages and tweets recorded, hosted and reach a larger audience with your signature attached to it. We are here to host your quotes in the masses. If your quote gets popular, we would bring out a product featuring your quote and give you royalty from the sales. Just be with us and see how your little creativity can fetch you a lot!

Careers:

At thewittyshit.com, you’ll find people obsessed with the word called ‘communication’. We’re all about communication - communicating through written words, communicating visually through designs and communicating verbally. Not that we do it because we love sharing our thoughts and ideas, but rather because we love to get to know the thoughts and ideas of the other side – your side. We love enthusiastic people, who know how to take fun from the work that they do for us and make work fun for the people around. After all, how boring is this life without an exclamation mark!

Our work focuses on marketing strategies to target youth(especially college students), graphic designing to cater to the gen-x needs, supply chain analytics, web-development and maintenance, product development, plagiarism-check algorithms and inventing smart financial and publicity schemes.

If communication is your passion and you’ve the guts to imagine out-of-the-box communication solutions, you’re born to be a wit-maker! We, being passionate wit-makers ourselves, are the most active users as well as staunch critics of our services and we think we understand what we need and how to get it. Despite being a start-up, we promise a handsome remuneration if you’re ready to show your mettle, plus a lot of enriching work experience for you to carry for your lifetime.

When Silence Speaks

Indeed, it was a lovely day

Thousands of thoughts lay scattered

Only one of them could I choose to say

Choice was tough, all the way

The tougher was the choice -

Whether to say or not to say

By my side, you were there

Silent, as if waiting for me to say,

Your eyes assuring me that you care.

Silence. That's all what I said.

That moment, words seemed immaterial,

Since every page of my soul had been read.

My eyes rested on yours, blankly I stared

Amidst blatant heartbeats,

Bare silence, we shared.

You smiled. You sighed.

With clouds as my companion,

I blinked. And we cried.

With you and me, the clouds wept.

Our silence finally spoke up, and

A silent eternal promise was kept.

P.S. Silence is the language of heart. Words contaminate the purity of feelings. This thought made me compose this poem.

Urge

One day,

An urn of sunlight will shower the ground, soiled with darkness, with its bright seeds of light.

That day,

The shadow of darkness will be buried into the wells of ignorance.

The beaming light will sublimate every corpuscle of iniquity into ether.

The urge of knowledge will paint our hapless minds with the colors of rainbow.

The diligent action will take precedence over the shallow promises.

The destination-less wandering mind will find its savior in the word called 'purpose'.

The wild stallion within us will chase the horizon just to catch a glimpse of that supernatural shine.

That day,

This nescient mind of ours will find the real knowledge...

The listless soul of ours will cross across the dark edge...

Just be ready, all the time;

For the day is near

And it can come any day, anytime

Since, on that one day, my friend!

Everything will be anew, everything will be clear

And every 'thing' will end.

P.S. Inspired from Tagore's 'Where the mind is without fear'.
