Things that define ME!

Giving introduction in one or two sentences is the biggest task. When I am asked to define myself I say my name, city, school & the college I have been studying. Though I feel like mentioning more, I don't. It's often difficult to make people understand. Hence, I thank BlogAdda for giving me a chance to let others know who I am & the those things that define 'ME'!

A writer:
Writing has always been my passion and my ink has been my first love, ever since I know. Without my ink, I am never complete. My crazy dreams, my secret fantasies, my joys, my tears, my ails, the ink knows it all.My poems are the deepest reflection of who I am. Poetry is my favorite while articles & stories are a cat's jump! I write about anything & everything. Fantasy, love, life, nature are my favorite genres. My poems have been published in many online magazines & various sites. I feel happy to say that its been a wonderful journey & I would love to write even more. Thoughts, emotions, opinions, feelings are best expressed through an art & the art which I have been blessed with is of course, writing and I must thank Him for that. In my poems, I speak my mind.

An avid reader: 

Along with the passion of writing, there comes reading too. I love to read be it a blog, a novel, a book or a piece of an article or a poem. In short, anything other than text-books! :P A cup of coffee & an interesting novel in my hand, I am carried away into my own world! Again, reading keeps me so alive! :D

A cook:

I surely thank my mom for this. My mom is my first & best ever teacher while  Google and Sanjeev Kapoor are my next! :P Various recipes, may be something for lunch, variety of sweets, morning breakfast, evening snacks, almost everything! I love trying new recipes. I am happy to say with every passing day I am a better cook. My friends & family love the food, I cook! :)

A Student: 

Well formally speaking, I am a student pursuing Engineering in Information Science. But, I feel I am always a student never a master. I have to keep moving forward. Forever, I am a student, a student of life. Other than my academics there are a number of things that interest me. Spending time with divine nature, listening to music, enjoying movies & psychology is my favorite. Thus, I have a wide range of interests. 

A dreamer: 

Yes, you read it right. Yes, I am a girl With a million dreams.  I dream of lot many things & try my best to conquer them. I am that one crazy dreamer you see! Its the only way, to escape from reality. Because sometimes reality is too hard! :P 

Finally, do you think the above things define me? Nope! I am a friend, sister, a daughter, an

admirer of arts, a lover of nature etc. I love to do the whole nine yards, I have mentioned above &

they are the things that define me! :D :)

Memories!

As my feet walked on the green grass

Whisper of the cold breeze caressed my skin

My mind, rattled

Rattled with those scattered memories

I was bent, for they haunted me again

Tears, smiles, joys, laughs

I gazed through them,

Some sweet, some bitter, some plain

Some bought me smiles when in pain

Some laughs, when I wasn't able to smile

No, they weren't worldly, nor secular

I gathered them all & kept it safe

For they were elegant, splendor!

Memories! a sacred place to visit,

Rather than stay

People, friends everything has a change

Memories? Neither fade nor die!

Today's harvest becomes tomorrow's memory,

I thought

A seed or a weed?

My choice, I said to myself

Walking down the lane!

PS: My very first non-rhyming poem! 

Save our Mother Earth!

Dear mankind, long before your birth

Alluring was the beauty of Mother earth

Now you are polluting her, letting her die

She's in grief, in agony, can't you hear her cry?

Desertification, contamination say no to this play

The change needs to start since TODAY

You need to thank her with gratitude

But, Killing your own mother? How can you be so cruel & rude?

Waste, smog, pollution & the smoke

Wake up folk, this is no more a bare joke

Stop trashing wastes, chemicals & non-bio into rivers

Cease killing forests for resorts, stop being more sinners!

Save energy, turn off the lights when no need

Satisfy your needs but not your greed

Try to plant a seed on your every birthday

Its only you who will enjoy fresh air & a happy stay!

Avoid the emission of carbon-di-oxide, CFC

To reduce ozone depletion you see

Say NO to the use of non-degradable plastics

Put on your hands to make earth organic!

Plant more sampling encourage afforestation

Bring an end to Deforestation, contamination

Drive less, use public conveyance & walk more

A kind deed to help beauty of the earth restore!

After all, earth is our only home

Stand up! Save her before she turns into a tombstone

Realize, earth can live without humans

But humans living without earth, is only an illusion!

This post is written for Poetry Jam for the prompt "How to"- and I made a small attempt  to write on "How to save mother Earth!"

I, me, myself!

I am that girl with a million insane dreams

With agony, my heart gives a loud scream

A crazy girl who jumps on nature green & rain

Finds a  great joy in blood & every vein!

One who tries, tries my best to stay strong

Even when every single thing is going wrong

With no care, sometimes I stay over cool

But at times I turn into an emotional fool

Many a times, the one who easily gets hurt

Sometimes, I seek no strength I keep inert

One who finds happiness in every little thing

The sunrise, sunset Oh! what a joy it brings!

One who hates lies, cheat & deceit

Loyalty, love & respect, the only I greet

Never jump on wealth, power or money

Instead love, friends & something that's funny!

One who forgives but never forgets

Yell when angry and then regret

For I know, I am no perfect

But people who love me, they always accept!

No matter what people speak, I love myself

Cos, I am always me, myself!

This post is written for Poetry Jam for the prompt "Identity"

I wish to live where..

I wish to live, by mountains —near the river  

Murmuring lowly, feeling the utmost pleasure

Where I could breathe the scent of cold fresh air

Stretch my arms & dance happily, with no care

Where the sun smiles through canopy

As I lie down on green carpet in harmony

Watch the calm serene waves by my door

Mountains, sea & the legend beauty I adore

Where the evening cold breeze lifts my soul

Water kisses the land, a beautiful shore

Watch the foggy clouds through window pane

I stretch out & feel every drop of rain

At night, watch the moon coming up the sky

Count the shimmering stars as they raise high

Fall asleep under the green dark silhouette of trees

Each day, tweet of the birds would wake me

I wish to dance merrily under moonlight night

Where clouds break forth every stream of light

Dance & listen to genuine music of nature

No other great joy, being with Creator!

I wish one day, I move to such heaven

Away from this worldly world, my pains lessen

Divine beauty of nature always mesmerize me

I wish to live in Her, I wanna flee!

Be yourself!

Why to walk in someone else's shoes

And lead a life of two's of no use?

Why do you hide your best self with a mask?

Only because fools speak behind your back?

Be the best of best who you always wanna be

Not the one who people wanna see!

For every human is perfectly imperfect

Let it be if none accepts your architect

Life is yours it belongs to none but you

Why to walk in a path that doesn't belong to you?

Be comfortable & the best in your own skin

The most beautiful thing that lies within

Why to hide yourself in a closet shelf

Be true to yourself & let the mask expel

One who truely loves you, never see your scars

Instead they love you for what you are!

You own something precious that others don't

Its no better to walk in a crowd when you can alone

Why to fool yourself and walk around

When you are already profound?

Whatever you do, people have something to say

Never care, why do you weigh?

Its your life, be the best each single day

No matter come what may!

Isn't it foolish to follow a nerdy herd

When you can open up your wings as a free bird?

So, sing loud & let your soul sing

Be yourself & let the false face fling!

Why-O-Why?

Why life, why do you play with me

Am I the only target? Why only me?

Without any ups are there only downs?

Only with failures & pains am I crowned?

Life has turned into a sad fairy tale

With pains, I am prisoned in a dark jail

My throat parches, my screams go dry

I push them hard, so none can hear my cry!

I pray, I plead but I hear no voice

My every move is from a bad dice

Bound in a cage of fearful fears

will I break this & make life a cheer?

I am no more a clay, instead a numb stone

Happiness & joy do I ever own?

Every move has become silly, a child's play

Woes & pains never stay at bay?

I wasn't that girl who gave up anything

But now, something says I am nothing!

Though I ask, I pray

For every task, have I become a prey?

Why? Why every step is going so wrong

Is it to such a world I belong??
