Just holding on. Aren't we?

What do you do .. When the darkness is home and light is out of sight ? When you feel lost .. Do you sit and stare at the sky like me ? Hoping the stars would guide you home Take you to the simplicity of childhood And bring back the happy person  That you used to be Do you smile at yourself .. When you pretend to be strong and happy .. Or do you surrender yourself to the moment .. When you fail to conquer all the heaviness of your mind .. I hope you still feel brave  For trying every day  little by little  Do you end up helping someone .. In a search of finding help for yourself ? You see, you are not alone  Doesn't it sound familiar .. When you hear your heart in someone's story ? There is something fulfilling about sharing stories Isn't it quite exciting to see your memories getting alive ..  When someone sees exactly the same thing you've experienced? Do you feel stupid sometimes .. When you said something you shouldn't have or  felt something you s...

Musings by the Shore

Image
I fell asleep while reading a book This world of dream is so beautiful How can something be formless yet forms your deepest desires in front of your eyes Who has named this thing as 'dream'? I think about this as I drive alone on that beautiful road I am familiar with every stone lying on that path It's the way I return home everyday When I pass through that road I never feel alone I share my thoughts with every particle of dust on that road Every bird of that street, every tree standing tall, are my dearest friends We ponder about all the mysteries together Sometimes I give a high five to those leaves when we make fun of the road's shape Yeah just some weird people stuff! That day while driving back to home I was lost in thoughts as usual  But in the midst of normalcy I found something utmost unusual Something very unusual about the road Breaking the bubble of an endless chatter of mind I drove faster Have I always been this ignorant that I'd never noticed that the...

The Perpetual Flow of Learning

       Each day brings us the opportunity to learn something new. The learning perimeter is never limited to work or study, it's much profound and specious. We learn from every little thing around us once we are open to learn and grow. Our learning is usually propelled by our curiosity and motivation. But often we don't feel motivated to even start something new and that's completely normal. We don't like to spend time on our important subjects most of the time. But there is something we do like. Call it hobby or passion or anything, there is something that makes us happy. But if your mind is wondering what do you like then then trust me there are a lots of fun things that you have not explored yet.            The time you feel bored will ultimately lead you to find your interest. How? Just sit and let yourself wonder, stick to that one question originated in your brain, google it! We are blessed to live in a world where access to e...

Overcoming Self Doubts

Image
          As humans we all have been blessed with potential, creativity and imagination. But like a little poisonous plant in a beautiful garden we have also been blessed with creepers like self doubt and fear that do not let us bloom the fullest. Everyone is born with some unique talent and potential but the fear of failure and rejection keeps us away from achieving our goals. The truth is we don't even need to work as hard we have been told to get success, it is the audacity to ask for opportunity that caves the path for our dream most of the time.            We all have self doubts and fear, in fact it is a part of us and it is foolish to look for ways to get rid of them in an instant. But with understanding and analyzing our fear we can improve our way of managing our self doubt efficiently. A little change in attitude can make the so called "obstacle of growth" work in our own favor. Now the question is how do we achi...

Self Discovery

    A common question comes to our mind at one point or another. The question is "Who we really are?" and none of us is satisfied with the answer most of the time. We oscillate somewhere between our past memories and our hope.       This is a quest exclusively made for every individual. This is personal and distinct for every single one. At the end we all are going to be left with our own experience and imagination. So this one thing is completely our true possession. Our quest and our adventure you name it anything. I believe self discovery is a life long process, till our last breath we have the opportunity to question ourselves and explore a different side of us, a different passion, a different wish and maybe a different self. Sometimes this self discovery is driven by pain or some unfortunate incident. This is the way of universe to push us in the direction of unraveling a certain aspect of ourselves by questioning our purpose. Maybe during the time we...

Amidst a Crisis

       One day you wake up and everything that had been bothering you seems insignificant. Be it any kind of problem, those days that you thought were difficult are replaced by a splash of realization that it doesn't matter. All you want is your loved ones to be happy and in good health. This is the most precious thing one can ask for at this moment. I feel blessed and horrified at the same time. My heart is with those people who lost the most valuable thing in their lives. I can't even imagine where the world is heading with all these going on.       Clearly we as a nation have failed our responsibilities as a result we are in such a worse condition. Our government has failed in managing and distributing proper health care to everyone. The mismatch between the demand and supply makes the oxygen crisis more severe and painful. But the question is how come we not predict this before and did not prepare for the worst? Well, in that case our governme...

Let a Thought Sparkle

Image
     One thought ! Do we ever realize how powerful a thought can be? yes a single thought has the power that allow us to float across the limitless universe and dive deep in the tiniest particle until it finds an end sign. One can truly spend a life time thinking about this mystery of the world but never find any conclusion. Needless to say, so many minds are born and died in this planet just thinking about the vastness and wonder of this creation . Also there are countless  minds that are so tangled in their imagination and thoughts that they have never got the opportunity to connect with the superior subject. I don't possess any knowledge to address the impossible question if it is really possible to understand the mystery? no matter how far the humanity advances in technology or science, it will never be enough to unravel the unknown completely and understand the matter fully. and my conscience says, this hope of achieving something and figuring out something mak...

Spiral of my mind

The spiral of my mind  Taking me to different places at different speed  A moment I find myself lost in the innocence of January.. The next moment I seek a word of kindness in the scorching summer of June Past and future, I can't visualise any coruscant thread between them  Both appear unchangeable in front of my eyes  Embracing the solitude I try to understand what it has to say to me  The quest makes me visit places far away from reality  Sometimes it feels like home, sometimes it makes me walk through the most uncomfortable path of life My eyes fall on that still but never stopping object It has been 3 in the afternoon  Then a voice in my mind gently telling me to comeback Comeback to the simplicity where I used to be  The slipping time reminds me to be grateful for the moment I have  The calm ambience enlightening the surrounding I see a ray of hope in every lifeless thing lying in front of me  Sometimes I wonder if there was no such...

Listen to the Wild Woman

The two words wild and woman are inseparable. There has always been a wild soul growing within us since our birth. It is the pulse which makes a woman dive deep into the wilderness and aim to achieve what she was convinced she can’t. The wild archetype of a woman does not let herself get lost, rather it embodies her power which she can’t live without. The wild woman is a visionary and a listener. She bleeds tears and walks on the ocean fighting the storm.  She lives in the world but she is not a part of it, her evidence of existence is unknown to maximum but her presence is luculent just like her inner force. She lives within us. Each one of us stands as the splendid and convincing proof of the wild woman present in us. It constantly keeps pushing us to the darkness because it is not afraid to investigate what lies there. It makes our mind question everything and seeks meaning to everything happening around us. It encourages us to break away the old patterns and assures us to sta...

This is to embolden you!

I know you! Maybe you’re so different from me or maybe you’re so like me. You may not find my jokes funny and you may not completely agree with every word I utter. Your mind might line up with me or it might deviate in strange manner but I share some pages with the infinity library of your mind. I have lived a part of you. I know you have always felt different about yourself. Some days you sleep on your bed reliving every small detail of the beautiful day you had spent, and some days the uncountable questions in your mind make you feel restless. I know you have always searched for the life you have envisioned as a child. I know these days of transitions have not been easy for you, I understand life has introduced some disquieting and confusing situations to you. But I am proud of the way you have dealt with those confusions and  denial. I know you don’t get the point the society has taught you, you don’t want to limit yourself in the boundaries defined by the society. You seek inde...

What Makes Us Human

We humans are so  strange in so many ways. Doesn't this disparity in the way we respond to certain things make us who we are?! Well we all have been told and taught something when we were children, and with time we have developed a matured brain to analyze and understand the right and wrong of anything. But a part of our life is our childhood .. we always carry this little child with us no matter how old we grow ..we can never outlive that part .  Adulting doesn't mean to kill the child inside you rather it is the art of putting your own awareness before doing anything. Then why do we greet a girl with an eye of judgement when we see that girl being herself? why a man's strength becomes skeptical when he lets his tear say all those words his lips can't utter? Sometimes the child in our heart takes charge of the adult present in us .It is as beautiful as watching an innocent kid wanting something and adorably manipulating his parents to get him what he wants and I am in ...
