I shall bide

I stare at the blank wall, I see us

I try not, tears run down a gush

Memories haunt me all day and night

Though I try to forget with all my might

Never knew those dreams were just a castle in the air

Now they seem so meaningless and bare

Were those promises an empty words?

Even you the one among this world?

Those smiles and laughs we shared

Were they for a while? An empty charade?

You held my hand & walked with me

Now I turn around, none I can see

You left this heart a hard stone

May be I am a stranger with a face known

For now, I shall walk all alone

But I bide, till He takes me His home!

Live, laugh and love!

I often hear people saying: "Lets wait for a perfect moment" but only a few say "Lets make this moment a perfect one". Why to wait for some occasion or a feast to celebrate? Lets make every day and every moment of this precious life, a grand feast. When we start living a life, admiring things around us and being grateful to Him for what we have rather than regretting for the things we don't, every single day of our life becomes a celebration.

"Learn from the past,
Live in the present
And plan your future" - The success and the happiness mantra to make everyday a celebration.

Happiness lies in the smallest of smallest things. As Buddha said: Questing for happiness itself is the real cause of unhappiness, so I would rather say: "Never quest for happiness,  just live every moment and happiness shall be yours!"

So here are few things which make my everyday a celebration:

Nature:
I am a person who enjoys being with Nature. Be it the early morning chirp of birds, cool whisper of breeze at nights or the petrichor, they just cheer me up! Whenever something freaks me out, I spend a few minutes with nature and it gives me an immense energy!

Family:
My world revolves around my family. My family can make me laugh even when I don't wanna smile. An hour with my family and I am back with a bang! :)

Friends:
Friends- May be a seven letter word, but to me it makes an entire world. Blessed to have such great bunch of friends, I must say! Being with me through all my smiles and tears, thick and thins, laughs and joys, I am so lucky to have you guys! A wee time with my besties, be it  online or offline and that cheers me up no matter in what charade I am!

Hobbies:
I am a person with wide range of interests. Reading, writing poetry watching the old Bollywood, Hollywood Science Fiction, listening to music which zests me up no matter what  and cooking which has been added to this list very recently! So, every single thing turn my every imperfect day into a perfect one!

My ink:
Ink- My first love and a very true friend of mine. I am running out of words, to say how much my ink means to me and how much I love him. Without him, I am no complete. My pains, my insane dreams, my fantasies, my smiles and my joys, he  knows all! I wonder if my ink knows everything more than me!

After all, life is too small to worry about the things. Live, laugh love and keep life simple! :)

So, this is about me. How about you? Grab a pen and a piece of paper and start writing... and I would remind you again, your post will make me smile! :)

A memorable one!

With internals, projects, assignments, presentations and a numerous activities life became often hectic. In addition, I too had a set of personal problems to deal with. In other words, life was another machine running on a fuel called oxygen- nothing more than that! In the midst of these, awaited a surprise for me. A one day class trip to western ghats and Apsarakonda, a famous beach of Uttara Kannada! And of course, I was in as I never miss an opportunity. It had actually been a while I had went out with friends. May be on holidays to get rid of my regular monotony I go out with few of my friends or family but the joy we get in class trips is quite different!

Trips are the one where even a stranger becomes a friend and to me it was no different. I got to know my classmates much better. Singing, dancing,  Antakshari, chatting and posing for random pics- it was a pure fun.

Between the quaint houses I could see through my window pane, were many narrow paths; beside these paths were the green trees swaying in the breeze.

The beauty of the western ghats, the greenery, trees standing sky high, the hills and the mountains and moreover a bunch of classmates- it was no less than heaven.  I always love travelling, be it by bus or trains. The journey of six hours was like few minutes. Enjoying the scenic beauty and friends, I didn't even realize how the time flew by. Friends and nature are the two things which can cheer me up no matter in what trouble I am.  And it is super awesome when they come together. Isn't it?

We played at the beach for quite a long time and then we enjoyed the mesmerizing waterfalls! Walking bare foot on the sands with pals, the sea shore, the cold whisper of the gentle breeze, wind in our hair, chit-chat with friends I enjoyed every bit of it. The waves hitting the shore washed away all my pains too. I took a deep breath, relaxing myself and enjoyed the serene, peaceful moment.  

It was a perfect blend of fun, amusement and moreover something that bought back my energy and enthusiasm! It was a special day as I realized who really care for me.  Sometimes we do not know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory. And finally, this trip has become one of my sweetest memory of my Engineering life!  Thanks to each and every soul who made this trip happen. After all, we do not remember days, we remember moments! :) :)

The ghost in her

A deep dark hole

Carved through her granite soul

Fear of fears binding her, Fie!

An illusion which none can see

None knows what flows through her veins

A smile full of vain

An empty soul howling through darkness

Stands guard over her emptiness

Ghost of unknown fear haunting her flesh

Circles & whirls around, leaving her in mesh

Tries hard to get back her lost life and name

But the daemon is no lame

Her heavy heart always said "Why me?"

Ghost inside her always knocked

Only 'cause she had it hard locked 

And had thrown away the key!

When I look inside you

When I look inside you

There's a joy of pain that burns inside you

So much of untold silent love for me

Every blood full of trust, care which none can see!

Grief, tears, agony is what none can find

A beautiful lively soul I abide

Your heart, a temple of divine I glorify each day

Always a guiding light no matter come what may

An unsaid great story blazing inside

Yet you show the world having a fun ride

Spirit, kindness, care & love sublime

Profound love that grows on sands of time

When I look in you I see;

A mirror, a perfect reflection of inner me!

Mom!

"Your love, so unselfish AND pure;

All the wounds of the soul, it can cure

'Mother' may be a six letter word

But you make my entire world!"

Things that define her:

My inspiration: During my failures, when I was in tears & pains it was my mom who gave me the strength AND courage to overcome my fears. She advised me not to brood about the past & asked me to move on with life. She always says: "Dhayryam Sarvastra Sadhanam", which means you can win the world with courage.

Dynamic person: In few more years, my mom will be a senior citizen. And at this age its not easy for a woman to be dynamic, energetic AND enthusiastic. She is an 18 year old girl, who hops in to learn something new. Be it a new stitch, a new recipe, be it anything, she's always enthusiastic to learn. In fact, she is more lively than me!

My teacher: Yes, indeed. My mom is the first and ever best teacher. She has taught a lot and teaches me every single day how to lead better and a successful life.

My friend: Again, my first best friend since the time I was born in her womb. A very loving person who understands us AND come to a conclusion in her children's point of view.

Her journey from OR to AND:

Do you think the above mentioned words define my mom? Nope! She is a wife, a daughter, a reliable true friend of many, a home-maker, my favorite and best ever cook, a sister, a lover of nature like me AND a many more.
In the last 21 years, not even once I have seen her whining about her daily chores. She's a woman with a wide range of avocations - cooking, singing, reading, crafting, stitching AND the list goes on. She manages to do a lot many things in wee hours.
Not a single person goes unfed from her. Be it anyone- family, friends or a maid. A lovely AND a lively woman, I have ever met in my life.
She is sweet AND feisty! :)
Love you mom, proud of you! :)

Puzzle!

Bits of pieces scattered all over

Trying hard to put them together

Journey, goals and life a battle

To fill those empty places of a big puzzle

Not all time do pieces fit

Never mind, sometimes you have to forget it

Because you can't fit where you don't belong

Else the whole puzzle will go wrong

Every thy problem is a puzzle piece

Hard to set right while some at ease

You use pieces & lose some too

Life both sturdy or sad and blue

Notches, several bonds of life

You have to build sometimes with strife

Stop the quest for the best not in detest

Only to complete the puzzle, a requisite!

After all, life is a pristine & beautiful puzzle

And to fit everything right is a challenge!
