A girl next door

An angel whispers her ears when she was in a deep dream, 

as if she has been a special child of God.

She has that Innocent smile, crazy dreams, sparkling eyes and power to rule the world.

Some people said, she is just a girl next door, 

few said she is queen, 

But the one whom she was waiting for was just in her dreams. 

She was fascinated yet she was subtle, 

She was hilarious yet she has simplicity, 

She had a dream yet it was incomplete. 

While she waits for her life to transform, 

She has that fire to stop any storm.

She always treated life like a goody bag and 

In return life gave her bunch of laughter's without any price tags.

She was like a kid playing in the sun and loving her life as it comes,

She used to sing like a Rockstar with guitar in her hands, 

Wishing to face the world that’s grooving in her concert band.

All her prayers were answered like a blink of an eye as if she has been blessed to brighten each life.

Sorrow was not a word meant for this girl,

Rather to her life was more than a sparkle.

May be this girl is somewhere in You,

Hoping to simply express her happiness to pursue.

A walk to Remember

I was walking down the lane, 

Hardly knowing what's so extreme. 

I was astonished to look people around, 

Who were busy in something or the other in Cape town. 

Some were smiling like a crescent moon 

And some were just sad like a bridge in afternoon. 

Cute kids were playing in the ground, 

Giggling and bubbling as if a fairy go round. 

Just after few steps more, 

A river flowing deep in tone, 

It made me stop for a while and asked me how much emotions I compile, 

I was speechless as if someone tongue-tied, 

Like wishing to overflow all the pain I had inside. 

No one could see the sadness I had, 

But nature was keeping me going glad. 

Life is just the same as the lane I was walking, sometimes steep and sometimes broadly talking.

Hopes

When darkness clench you tight and sorrows by your side,

Never give up your hopes.

When fancy lights seem bold and tears roll from eyes to deep inside your soul,

Never give up your hopes.

When world shuts all the door and dear ones treats abhor,

Never give up your hopes.

When relations deprive its sweetness and your heart carve for that completeness,

Never give up your hopes.

When lot of doubts keeps you stimulating and decisions come so fading,

Never give up your hopes.

When true friend is what you desire but the one that you have has backfired,

Never give up your hopes.

When world seem not a place to live and misery around, you can’t forgive,

Never give up your hopes.

When challenges are impossible but you are trying as far as possible,

Never give up your hopes.

When your luck is not in favor and your hard work is the only savor,

Never give up your hopes.

When dreams are shattered completely and grievance can’t be avoided briefly,

Never give up your hopes.

When smile is all you needed and don’t know how to proceed it,

Never Ever give up your hopes.

Solitary Girl

On a boulevard of dreams, 
There was a stream to redeem a smile on her face.

She was clad with a pain that can't be seen without looking deep inside her vein.

Where is the smile she always had like a bright sunshine? 
Maybe it's time or tide that snatches her life without any fine deadline.

Life is so cruel on her, she never thought this ever before, 
But now as she gazes in her life she is left with nothing else the trouble she bore. 
Countless time the desires of her heart have kept her to move on in bad times, 
But today her heart is weeping to reclaim the sound of those eternal chimes.
She was lonely and sad since she has lost her everything,
 And when she looks back, 
She smiles and forgets her sorrows that cling.
 There was a time she had a family of her own, 
But today it's just those memories she has all alone.
She was shattered in the dark gloom of life,
Yet the silence was consoling her quite.  
Life can be rude sometimes, 
But living it with a ray of hope can clear all grime.
She has a hope to meet her happiness again,
And that is when she gets a smile therein.

Judging others

 

When we meet anyone, new friends or colleague, acquaintance or stranger, relatives or known loved ones , the first thing everyone do is to judge them. I don't know with what authority or right, but i have seen people having this atrocious habit of judging others. A person's perspective is of his own and not of the world, but ever since everyone believe he can set standards and judge anything or anyone he keep on setting an image in his mind that he believe is a reality even if the reality is far beyond what that person can expect it to be. A rose have thorns yet it is the most beautiful flower but no one have the authority to say it doesn't look beautiful because judging a rose by its thorns would be foolishness. Exactly same thing goes with people, you cannot expect each one to be perfect, in my terms perfection is an incomplete word. 

Every person is unique, not only by his face but also by his thoughts, when it comes to judging someone, you should not only see a person appearance but also his mindset or either just don't have a habit of judging anyone. I've seen people who judge others with a mindset of differentiating them into religion, caste, creed, race, color or any other illogical term.  

If a man judge a girl by her character then he should also judge himself with the same standards. If a girl is outspoken she should not be tagged to be a characterless woman, she might be confident enough to be a business tycoon. An unmarried pregnant women is tagged as a slut, but maybe the truth is she was being raped by a voracious man. 

A guy who doesn't speak much, might not be a less confident person but a deep thinker. An ordinary looking man might not be good in looks but good in every other thing he does. 

A book cannot be judged by its cover is an old adage but its so true. A smiling face might not show the sadness it holds inside. A strict teacher might be gracious in donations, an angry man might be a loving dad. A person having billions of dollars might not be the happiest person on this earth. 

Your judgement shows something about you, not about the person whom you are judging.  Bible says ¹“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. ² For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Mathew 7:1-2

Sometimes sudden decisions cannot judge the reality of a tear falling from an eye.

Twisted Trance

Sudden thoughts in my mind snatches my sleep like a mouse snatching a piece of cheese, 2A.M in the morning and its drizzling outside my window, a deep blue sky drenched in the romance of twilight. I am clueless why I wake up in the middle of the night. Maybe to witness the night, suddenly I decide to get out in the balcony to touch those simple yet divine raindrops. I gave myself a deep breath and said to myself lets find my happiness in these raindrops and I started collecting them in my palm, suddenly I realized that the drops of happiness in my hands are overflowing, it was dropping out of my hand and i couldn't stop them from falling. I smiled and visualize my life is blessed with so many happiness that carrying them in my tiny palm is beyond my expectations. One thing more I realized that the showers of blessings were not only for me, it was for each and every surface on this earth. Its just that I was the only one standing out and realizing my blessings on that drench night. Suddenly the thunders of cloud quiver me and my beautiful thoughts came to an end. The rain started heavily and I came inside to continue my sleep. I don't know why that night was sleepless and mysterious, sometimes you are tired and really need a good sleep but you can't, thoughts comes in front of your tiring sleep and you can't help it. Some how I managed to retrieve my sound sleep holding all my thoughts. 


Always acknowledge the bright sunshine that comes your way coz gloom might not show you the picture of your precious life.

Helping Hand

'Help' is a very common word originated from German word helfen, means to assist someone in efforts. Its a word provided to prove that you care as a human, Help is lot more then a foundation of a good soul of human being. In trouble you need someone to share his hand so that you can get out of the situation, Life is full of difficulties, ups and downs, twist and turns, but a small help makes it worth coming out of those undesirable situations. From childhood we've always been taught to help our friends, siblings or anyone and thats when you start realizing the happiness to help. Whether you know that person whom you are helping or not, you always feel a good soul working inside you when you give a helping hand. Helping someone unconditionally could bring smile on faces but when the help turns out to be selfish it just end up in ungenerous soul. Helping someone is not that easy i must say, because while helping someone, a person has to think of the other person with all his heart without thinking of himself and yes believe me its tough for a selfish soul. I am sure everybody needs help at some point of time in life, but sometimes the situations are exceptional, where you have to decide whom to help, yourself or the other person. And thats when your real values comes out. Situations can place you in a dilemma and you simply don't have any idea what to do. You should simply listen to your soul and help. Ronald Reagan said We can't help everyone but everyone can help someone. So next time when you think you can help, just do it. 

Help in anyway will make a contribution to kindness.

I want to share a story here, A young kid was sitting on a bench on a hot sunny day with his guitar, he was humming a song he heard from his grandfather, people who were passing by were listening to him. On the other side of the bench there was a person sitting on his bench and was reading a book. He was not very happy with the kid's music as he was getting distracted in his reading. At once the person asked that kid to stop playing and he stopped. While reading, the person was laughing out loud as the book was funny. Suddenly the kid asked, what are you reading ? And the person replied its a funny book. Can you give me? The kid said. What? The book I am reading? The person said. 

I meant the Eyes. Give them once you have used them. I can't read as I am blind. The kid said.

This instance shook that person unto his soul and he decided to help at least one person each day. He also donated his eyes so that he can help someone to see.
This Story brings out a lot about how situations can bring you into a fix where you cannot decide what to do? The kid decided to help that person by not playing his music and the person who was unaware about the situation of the kid decided to change his attitude in life. He helped others later and also himself by changing his attitude.

Help is not favor, its a responsibility every human should perceive. Never back off to help because you never know the next time who would back off for your help.

Soul Curry

This is my 5th blog, the fifth month and feels like what should I write to begin my thoughts, obviously there are loads of them but to express them in words is a lot more tougher, since I've promised myself to express in words every month so here it goes,

Before I begin, I want to ask each one of you who is reading this, What is the most important thing you ever want? what are your priorities in life? I hope you must be thinking lot of things, still might be missing one of the most important thing you've always desired, I am not going to tell you what is that important thing is but what am going to tell you is prioritize your life, Priorities change with time like in childhood the only thing I want was a toy, but as I grew I changed my priorities from those toys to something else or may be someone else. Sometimes what I don't prioritize is myself, may be because somewhere inside my tomboy self is a women, now the question is from where in this world we get this behavior of caring for other then us. I have always seen my mother to think of everyone at home except herself. She take care of me, my dad, also of the home and the office. But what she doesn't care for, is herself, maybe because she loves us more then herself. So that means we prioritize things according to our inclinations or the one we love the most? We prioritize things according to things we love. Some people love money and some love pride, some love themselves and some love fights. The worst thing about human is that, having brains they forget their heart and having a heart they forget to use their brains, like when a man uses his brain he forget that his heart is also telling something to his soul and when a heart helps to teach something to the soul, brain stops working. Sometimes our priorities overcome the voice of our heart and we think everything is just as it has to, but in-spite of everything that we've done is not as perfect as it could be, maybe because the voice we ignored was lot more important to fulfill it. Sounds peculiar but its more then just a truth. Everyone is so busy these days in life that even if your heart says you are missing your highest priority, you avoid listening to your heart not because you want to, its just the situation that makes you deaf to listen to voice of your heart. The point to discuss this, is not that why we don't listen to the voice, the point is can we do something about changing this situation, yes we can, but certainly its a tough job to listen to your heart because life has no peace left to listen. If you really need to prioritize yourself in somebodies life then you have to prioritize that person regardless of any of the situation. If you want to be the best man in someone's life you have to prove that you are the best man else life will teach you the importance of that person after certain time and thats when you regret not listening to the heart.
If you really want happiness in your life listen to your heart, it will never ditch you, because brain might works with facts but your heart works with your beliefs. Life and happiness always comes in small packages, don't try to take them in large ones else you might neglect the small ones.

The Quarter-Life crisis

Each one of us at some point of time in life, struggle to realize the meaning of our existence and thats when we face the quarter life crisis, a phase in life where life takes a turning edge leaving adolescence without accepting the fact that we are growing old. It feels like everything is changing without any plans, without any preparations. It seems like it happened yesterday when bunking lectures to watch movies, canteen treats, the stalls for a cup of tea outside the college, friends birthday parties to be celebrated whole month long, studying hard for the exams to get a perfect score and those strikes that helped to survive those exams, sitting in the class texting about how hot the teacher is, hostel shouting when the result used to come out, long lines in the morning to take a bath and if getting late then always reaching college in the second lecture and  to be thrown out of the class and many other sweet memories which can never come back, all we are left with is a smile on your face. Quarter life crisis is when you stop into the crowd and realize what exactly you want from life, you start feeling insecure about future and yourself at the same time and start realizing that people are selfish now and maybe those friends who were close to you are not in contact with you anymore, what we don't realize is that they are realizing the same thing.

You look at your job. It is not even close to what you thought you'd be doing or maybe you are looking for one and realizing that you are going to start at the bottom and are scared. Observing others makes you more perplexed, you start competing with the world and realize that life has changed upside down. Things has changed spontaneously and people too but what you don't realize is you too have changed yourself in the journey.

At this point of time you start crashing yourself in smoking and drinks to come out of the imbalance but don't realize that your family is still with you in any situation. You get your heart broken with a long relation and wonder how someone you loved could do such damage to you or you lay in bed and wonder why you can't meet anyone decent enough to get to know better. You love someone but maybe love someone else too and cannot figure out why you are doing this because you are not a bad person. One night stands and random hook ups start to look cheap and getting wasted and acting like an idiot starts to look pathetic. Strong emotions suddenly look temporary and feelings look void. Life seems dull and worthless. You worry about loans, money and future that has never came in life yet, you realize life is still missing with the life you always wanted. 

But what you may not realize that everyone who reads this is relating it. But let me tell you what you should realize for sure, we are in our best of times and in worst too, never let your dreams to crash and never let yourself to crash in those dreams.

Sorrow of this hidden world

When I grip my pen to write about this world, I constantly look around and figure out what exactly it is made up off, is it people who are exceptional from one another in various countries or captivating nature like a green grass having due-drops of morning, a sea which can show its glory when required or a waterfall flowing deep inside the chest of the earth to ponder some freshness or a flower which knows how to catch a breath of his beholder who sinks in the fragrance of its inception or may be some thoughts in my mind comes from watching the sky above which shows their ain't no limit to the depth of desires. A small world with lot of wonderful creations simply impeccable without any flaw to express the creator to be praised. A cloud floating in the sky like a cotton ball to teach that troubles in lives are just like those clouds who passes away with wind, troubles comes to make us understand the importance of life. Holding a flake of snow makes me wonder, out of all the three forms of water which is the most beautiful one and I get just one answer each one, each one of them are so distinct on its own, a vineyard so content in all colors to look like an admirable formation, two birds sitting together without any caste or religion, fishes in a pond carelessly swimming in the water to symbolize life, a butterfly having a very short life comes to this world to cherish its beauty, flocks of ducks floating with there quack quack sounds, autumn leaves rich in yellow and orange colors to bring us a  bright new start, first rain of the season to kiss the earth with the freshness of high spirit, I get less words to describe the beauty of nature that is so pure and content in itself.
When I was a child my dad used to take me to gardens to see the beauty of nature and  I used to look around and ask my dad where did those trees and flowers came from, and he used to tell me one day god decided to gift you something and he gave you everything so that you can admire them and preserve them, It was a strange answer though but I guess it was so right. When sun shines everyday with brightness to brighten each life, nobody cares to thank this wonderful creation. Even winds on this earth touches each one of us to give us a feel of togetherness, but man has always been disastrous and selfish. A river flows without conditions without any obstructions but man entangle himself into the world of envy where feeling of love is nowhere. Sorrow of this hidden world is just that he gives everything to mankind unconditionally but on the other edge the admiration it requires never comes out in form of peace and harmony rather its turning out to be devastation. 
Nature is the treasure with lot of jewels for us, preserve it, enrich it, conserve it so that the treasure remains with us forever.

Live it with a Smile

Presence of special people around, I struggle hard to realize life and its twisted tales. If Life is to believe on yourself then Life is also to live for others. The people around us are unique, special, priceless and sometimes unpredictable, But what is important is how you treat them. When I look into the mirror, I realize that a smile on my face looks good on me but a frown on my face makes me look arrogant. The same way I try responding to people around me. But as the time goes and when we have family and friends we always take them for granted like we always bring a frown on our face for their silly mistakes. I would not like if someone treats me like this then how come we don't realize this. Precious are those people in our life who don't complain for our frowns and attitude. But bringing a smile to their faces is difficult. In our busy life we forget those magical words that nursery class taught us like sorry, thank you or welcome. Expressing our love for them is the most difficult task in a busy life. A piece of a smile can help or a big hug can be magical even if things are complicated, a surprise can surely bring them close to you and watching them smile is the most beautiful expression of Life. As we grow up we think that all these things are kiddish but the truth is, a person is most happy in his life when he was a kid, playing without any constrict, laughing all with your heart, being happy without any reason and to love everyone around, thats when you really have your whole set of life. Growing up is a phase of life but having a heart of a child is important and difficult as well. Realize the importance of life and live it well because every step Life is for some one you live for and some one you never wanna loose. Next time just don't Smile, bring Smile to their faces and fill each moment of your life with a juvenile heart because when we are sick those who love us pray for us, when we are in trouble they sort our problems in no time, when we feel like crying they offer there shoulders to comfort us, when we need to talk they silently listen to us and when we are happy they are happy in our happiness. Relations in life are so priceless that only a fool can take them for granted. Never grow up if growing up is making you static, Coz life is too short to waste it in your lousy mood swings. Have a smile to make everyone else smile, have a heart to accept blessings from a stranger. Live life without conditions without expectations and without frowns. Simply smile and enjoy life with your loved ones. 

Smile is the most powerful tool God has ever made to conquer hearts, soul and Life. 

Live life with a Beautiful Smile.

Some Pages of Life

Some pages of life in a deep thought comes right onto your mind when you think of the people you met, coincidence or a plan by god, you meet some very important people, sometimes you just let them go and sometimes you place them deep inside your heart, but whatever it is, the journey of those people have certain meanings, some teaches you how to face failures, some teaches you how to accept failures, some just make you happy, some comes to show how beautiful life can be and some people comes to be your life. In all, we meet millions of people in life, but their are just few who steps into your heart and become the most important page of your life, I wonder everyone who comes has an important link to meet the other person or the special one. Who rules the path to that special person is still a mystery for me, nobody knows from where the life threads are arranged in such a manner that it automatically reaches its destiny, Destiny, that's all you can say to such coincidence, when things goes out of your hand we think life is doing injustice to us but one should always believe on those mystical coincidence which are followed by, we never know what our future holds or what is in-stored for us but I've always believed that what goes around comes around. We always reaps the fruit we sow. I do not believe in rebirth or past life, life is just one and it is as important as you are one of the links to the chain of life, your motive of life is what leads you to the end. And that end brings you to the person you really wanted to meet, even if its a long endless journey. Things are sometimes simple, sometimes strange, sometimes skeptical but whatever it is just follow your heart and believe on God. 
Such a heart which has a soul to love can never leads to a wrong person, even if it leads, God puts life into a reverse gear and bring it back to its order. Sometimes we believe things are not the way we want them but the truth is, things are always the way planned and perceived in its own style, to make us understand the importance of life, people and God. Worries in life are like night that comes with a darkness, with a belief of bringing a glorious dawn, even if things are not right, have trust on yourself. Gradually things will always comes to its track with a lesson for you to learn for life.
So one should never underestimate himself and God at the same time neither loose hopes, because we just have one life, beautiful, exceptional, full of surprises, gracious and valuable.
