I step down from the vehicle
My feet say they can’t do it anymore
Then the baggage remind me of tasks to be performed
And I put on the persona and walk through the door
I walk through the throngs of people
Each with a destination in mind
Me, the sole wanderer of my destiny
Move on within the constraints of time
I gaze through the gates of understanding
Trying to figure out the meaning in each eye
When my sight lands on the mirror
And I am struck by the vagueness inside
I sit amidst loved ones
Listening to the hustle bustle of everday lives
Within a whimper chokes me
Memories and worries playing with my mind
I switch on the idiot box
Flipping the buttons of its mouse
When pictures of disaster shake my soul
And I am filled with horror and futility of it all
More such events occur around
Anger,Frustration and I wonder the presence of that divine
When a little child smiles at me
And I realize yet there’s beauty in the rhythms of life
There’s something about the sound of silence
There’s immense pleasure in an artist’s work
Within these confines lies the art of living
Tuning the strings and strumming the chords!!

Leave nothing Unsaid..
Every now and then we come across people in life….people who make a difference, who teach us that life is not necessarily about doing things for rather its about living for others, doing things that could bring a smile on a depressed face. People who make us realize that love is not about giving or receiving, its not about expecting things and the path is not always easy, there are obstacles to be crossed with patience and positive thinking.
People who bring a ray of hope from somewhere within a terrible storm, People from whom we learn that its too easy to shout and fret about your problems but your strength lies in accepting the challenge without losing the glitter in your eyes and then, winning over it….
Take time to let such people know how grateful you are for their kindness, how much you care and how deeply you appreciate the beauty they have bestowed in their world by just being dere…..
Remember, the most b’ful gift God gave His children was the ability to speak so that they can share their thoughts with each other, express the power of words!!!
Sometimes, we remain standing with our fists closed without realizing that the sands of time are slowly and steadily slipping away and when we actually bother to open our eyes, the slightest grain too has fallen of….
Like they say,
“If you know you are gonna die in the next five minutes and you have just one phone call to make, whom w’d you call and what w’d you say and what are you waiting for?????????”
The better part of life is spent saying,"its too early and then its too late"!!!
Its only once in a lifetime that you come across someone who becomes a damn significant part of your existence…someone who teaches that there’s joy in life’s little things too and happiness is nothing but a state of mind independent of other beings, someone who makes you realise the beauty of our own dreams, somebody who cherishes and cares and makes u feel like holding on to forever but when the moment comes over you are ready to let go because the memories are so incredible that they become the everlasting fragrance of the pages of your memoirs!
That person in my life once told me, "its not about letting go, but not holding on".
(And you know I have never been able to reply that much as I needed to, I could never afford the luxury to...)
Its a bittersweet symphony that is life...
Amidst these conflicting thoughts, the fact remains that when the time comes to say goodbye (if ever it does)..nothing should be left unsaid. Leave no space for regrets. Embrace the beautiful as much as you can b'coz those are the moments which are really remembered, everything else is washed away like the footprints in the sands...
