A Moment...!!!

A moment!

What can a moment do?

Can it be so big to change the entire picture??

Can it be so overwhelming to change the way you look at the world??

Can a moment be so powerful?

Can it be a reflection of The Almighty, showing me how negligible

I am to this universe??

Can it take-over the ‘I’ that resides in my mind??

Can a moment take over Me… ???

Looking at the fading reflections of self in the waters of times,

I look back. So still the pool has been all along! The reflections being so clear as if

I am standing in-front of a mirror emulating my self.

A companion, a friend, who shared every thought of mine, not just joys but sorrows too.

Who has always been showering the bounty of it’s shade on me.

The sail on the waters of good times has been so good that the world around will envy me!

It was summer then!

Since last few days the weather has been daunting. My amigo was still holding strong, still generous with its soothing shade over my head.

That morning was precariously stormy, with no signs of respite. Even in those gruesome times my companion assured me support, gave me hope that I can still stand, told me to hold on and not give in.

A fulminant bang broke my trance. It was almost ear deafening sound, a thump on the water. Before I could realize what has happened, I was aghast looking at what I had in-front of me.

My companion who had been with me all along, through the times good and bad, was down in the water. Completely extirpated!

The pool was in state of utter turmoil. The tranquility was all gone! The impact was so hard that it created waves in the waters; waves hitting the shores with almost a bang. The shore in no way was able to grasp what’s happening. It started giving in breaking into pieces, falling down with every bang of wave.

The waters, were no more still, no more clear, with sands making it murky. I could no more see the reflections. The shade no more existed. The companion was no more with me!

The reflections were all gone..!

The beauteous world to which everyone used to envy was no more existent..!

I was standing in the daunting storm with solitude hemming in.

When did all this happen?

When did I loose all my treasured reflections of self in the waters of time?

Myriad questions flooding my mind……

All I can see is but one answer…………

All in ONE MOMENT…..!!!

Its 09-09-09 today, and yes this day deserves a post.
Coming soon....!

With every single tear,
drips out a shade of my pain.

I don't want the careless world to see me,
I just want to walk in the rain...!

I just want to walk in the rain...!!!

Where I Go…?

When you regret what you did.
Even if it’s really hard to say it was bad indeed.
And still you have the guilt within.

On its course, life keeps moving.
Years go by and you keep growing.
But you always feel there's something missing.

Is it you or it’s them? The conflicts remain.
Heart ponders over past again and again.
It finds old green pastures and the barren terrain.

And I say to myself,
Hold On! There's nothing in-vain!
Mistakes in the past are experiences you gain.

Life will always bring some shine after every stain.
Oh my dear! Get over the mind, and follow your heart.
And nothing ever will pain again.

The Truth

Sometimes you assume somebody to be good.

Sometimes you try to be pragmatic.

Sometimes you get lost.

And sometimes you think,

You will be able to get what you want.

But it’s not just sometimes,

That the world is so harsh

to thrash you down the deep abyss…!!

Remember..! Not just sometimes….!!!

View – Counterview

Sometimes silence speaks more than words.

Words kept unsaid tell you much more.

When silence creeps in,

It’s always better to know that,

Those who used to talk need you no more.

And that’s how this silent world operates….!!!

Their silence pierces more than the words of your foe.

Their words can change the beating of your heart.

When silence creeps in,

They just want you to understand, the language of silence.

Lips are still as they want your eyes to speak.

You are always their need and strength.

And that’s how the world of Love operates….!!!

A Different Me...?

A day full of rains! Full of showers !!
Morning filled with innumerable drops. Hovering clouds !
And my day starts ! As usual I am rushing through the morning.
From washroom to the dressing table. From break-fast place to
the bus stop. Nothing seemed to change its course. The time, the
place, the things around me. All there, yet again, yet another day !
And here I am ! Starting yet another day of my life, thinking that
I have become yet another morning old.

Sitting in the bus on my way to the work-place. Looking out of the
window, everything is just rushing around. Everything is moving.
Moving with a cause. Moving with a goal.
Moving with a dream, to become something! To be somewhere !!

A morning seems so fresh. With a renewed or should I say
refurbished look. Forgetting yesterday,
looking forward to the day ahead. Here is yet another morning.
Moving to start the day and the day's things.
And I am on my today's part of the journey, called Life !

It's evening now. I hardly remember a day when I came out of the
work-place and saw the sun still waiting to spend some evening
time playing with the earth. It's always been dark.
It's always been an end of the play without having the sun to witness.

I remember the days, when I used to run, keeping my eyes on
the beautiful red ball in the earth's field, the blue sky.
Used to see the beauty of an evening, feel it. With the zest
bubbling in my blood, I used to run ! I used to play !
I remember. Yes ! I still remember. I used to rejoice.
Rejoice in the beauty of the evening.
Rejoice in the twilight, loosing myself in the colours of life.
In the colours of nature.

But what I thought then ? This is not where I am supposed to be.
This isn't the place. The place where I always wanted to be.
I thought, I was lost. Lost in the silence !

And here I am now. At the same window again,
in the crawling bus. What I see around? People loaded with day's
stresses. Drained by the loads of work.
With all the traffic in the world, hovering around me.
I am moving with an ant's steps.
Back to the place from where I did start.

This is also an evening. Then what has changed?

Where are all the colours gone?
Where is the redness of the mighty sun ?
Where is the golden shade of the twilight ?
Am I on a different planet ?

I am searching. Searching with all my strength.
But I am not able to find. I don't know....

Where is the peace gone ??

Where is the piece gone ???

Escape...!

Break the bond of custom.
From the prison of tradition,
Escape !

Delight not in your weakness.
From this imagined delicacy,
Escape !

From these self conjoured
vows of greatness,
Escape !

It too is bondage.
From love's bondage,
Escape !

Not only the thorn,
The flower too emasculate.

Rise my love !
You have to walk along with me...!!!

I Believe....!!!

Believe in yourself to the depth of your being,
Nourish the talents, your spirit is freeing.

Know in your heart, when the going gets slow,
That your faith in yourself will continue to grow.

Don't forfeit ambition, when others may doubt.
It's your life, to live it throughout.

Learn from your errors. Don't dwell in the past.
Never withdraw from the world that is vast.

Believe in yourself. Find the best, that is YOU !
Let your spirit prevail. Steer the course that is true...!!!
