Play Life

Life plays some mysterious games
And then convincingly destiny is blamed.

Love demands trust; the most expensive gift one can thrust

"Friends forever", one shouts out loud;
When friends betray; we cry foul!

Life is a game; with its rules and a ground.
Create your space; and play your shots around.

To each his own; and everyone's true.
And when one has to win; the other has to lose
Follow the rules and be within the ground.

There are emotions; cause your heart still beats
Emotions are false; they might just retreat.

You make your destiny and play games with life!
Plan your moves...you'll be alright!

Energized

When you move around carrying Tupperware door to door at an age when it’s time for you to enjoy your vacations.

When you give tuition while your peers are enjoying their night out at a disc

When you fund your own education while you teach software at a computer institute

When you are less dependent on your parents and make your living by working in the nights

When you are a crowd-puller and striving to build leaders

When you have lost your youth & friends to be a mentor to quite a few aspiring fighters

When with your experience and love, care to build lives;

When you have built a life on your own, you will like the sun keep shining and emitting energy;

There would be a section that will crib about the heat and many others who would see just rays of positivity.

Nevertheless, keep shining, glowing and emitting energy. Unlike the sun, you have the option of shining on those who need your warmth.

Inspire

Here I am, this is me..
There's no where on earth I'd be!

Hurdles & obstacles, truth & dare
There's more to life than living in despair.

I am strong, I know for sure;
I have a heart that's so pure

There's a tomorrow, a better sunshine
A basket of pleasures that's just gonna be mine

I live for it to make it click;
Smile back at the world..and say " I did it"

Urban Sarcasm

I am not sure of what's happening in ones life.
All I know is that ain't right

The world ain't safe and love ain't straight.
There's one in the hand and the other in the bush.

The looks are for the young, the old getting younger for the young.

There ain't nothing fast...ain't nothing faster than the tongue.

The mind doesn't mind, the heart is tired; can't help, but be fine.

There is freedom, there is trust
And then there is despair & doubt.

There are laws; in & out
There are rules which one flout.

Togetherness is the "in thing"
Purity is vanishing

Thoughts obscure? Repeat again,
its now enlightening

I still remember

I remember the day, I looked into your eyes.

U smiled, and turned and a lil shy

I remember the day, we walked on the sands

With our hands clasped and eyes on the sky

I remember the day, I missed to call

U yelled and then cried..where was I after all.

And then there  came a time, we couldn’t live without one another

And there were evenings that never went without seeing one another

And the world belonged to us,

With people around  just frozen

We cared for no one but each another

And none was a bother

I remember, I remember, I remember every bit

Then the evil eye, raised its head high

And the arguments & fights and the dislike took over

People now came back to life,

Their presence now bothered us

And we started living lesser without one another

And then we have our own lives; and we look into others’ eyes

But the heart still beats for one another

Just wish, we were together

I still remember the day, I looked into your eyes.

U smiled, and turned and a lil shy.

 I still..............remember

Spiritual Connect

 

In a world, where humans have left no stone unturned in tapping every technological possibility that betters communication and have the rights & licenses for every available spectrum; we have miserably failed in connecting to our own selves.

We have lost several opportunities to know one-self and connect to the people we love. I have always believed, "Introspection, could just help you experience Serendipity; in this jet age make some time to know yourself, you never know you may stumble upon some interesting facts."

The power of the human brain is so immense; it can capture the aura & presence of the force, individual, god that you would like to communicate with, without moving, right in your drawing room. All that it needs is the belief, the love & the heart to associate with your inspiration, strength or love. It has the power to invoke or cultivate a feeling or internal state, such as compassion, or attending to a specific focal point.

The undisputed science of meditation becomes a habit, once you start practicing it. It is a journey that helps you connect. It connects you with you. It’s the most enlightening experience that catapults your process of thinking. No journey or yatras or pilgrimages would possibly give you the experience that meditation gives.

Meditation is a journey that you begin with yourself and connect to so many. Embrace all the people on the way, feel their warmth & pain, make them smile & absorb their pain. It’s truly magical!

Help yourself find solutions to your worries, meditate to cry and feel light, to smile and feel blessed and to feel the warmth of the people who love & care for you.

Pilgrimages are just a medium to assist you reach your goal. The goal called Inner peace, which is available right within us; we just are not awakening that part of us. Begin the journey of feeling light & healthy; self-analysis, introspection & meditation

Wake up! Lest you writhe in pain and it’s just about time you leave.
