What's Your Sun Sign?

Most people get enticed by the zodiac system in early teenage and some people spend hours poring over the interesting facets in their personalities. Then with the passing years, some people write off the zodiac signs as idiotic ranting, some still follow the updates out of curiosity and others continue to have staunch faith in them.

But really, have you ever looked at the descriptions of the zodiac signs and noted carefully how they make a complete fool out of our teenaged brains? ( No, it is not a problem if you have grown past that phase and still are hooked on to these things.)

Say, for instance you are a Scorpio. If you start to read about yourself, you will find out that you are the most enigmatic and enchanting person that was ever born. You have the power to see through others and you have an unmatched passion for the things/people you love. You will undoubtedly be overjoyed to know that you are unique and perfect.

However, what you do not know is that all the other 11 zodiac signs would also get equally enchanting superlatives describing their personalities. Why would you never find out? Because you are self obsessed (and this trait is true for all 12 signs) and if you are a Libra…you do not care to find out about a Virgo or a Cancer. Unless, you are interested in a person who belongs to that sign. That is ok, because you already love that person and you do not mind knowing that your Piscean boyfriend/girlfriend is the most romantic and dreamy person that mankind could ever get.

You would also see that the zodiac signs usually focus on the positive traits and even when they talk about the negatives they would sugar coat it in a way that you would love to be flawed. For example, who would not loved to know that they are highly misunderstood for their intense and rebellious nature?

I really feel that zodiac signs would not be half as successful if we were not so self obsessed but maybe that’s because my zodiac sign makes me a little skeptical about everything.

So, what’s your zodiac sign?

The Woman

She toiled and toiled and toiled some more,
She gave and gave and gave some more…
Hoping that someday a thank you would come,
Or may be a smile to make her heart warm…
But only disapproval and annoyance came her way,
They threw up their arms and cringed in dismay.

She started again; and toiled even more,
This time she toiled till she went sore.
Hoping that a word of praise would come,
Or may be a gesture to light up the glum…
But more criticism and rebuff came her way,
And that is when her nerves started to fray.
She toiled and toiled and toiled as before,
But this time she knew not to expect any more.

A day came when it was her turn to die,
They came crying to bid her goodbye.
They told her that they felt very sad,
And if there was any last wish that she had.
But there was nothing she could ask for,
That part of her had died long before.
