Others and us

Sometimes it feels like
We know others better
Than we know ourselves
And it feels true
And it is true too
In today’s world
We’re bombarded with so much information
We try to apply it all
Our knowledge about others
And we feel pride
That we know and sometimes
We judge others too
Not realizing
That if we would apply the same
On to ourselves
We would have become a more better person
A more understanding person
And this would lead us to more happiness
Because we would know how and what to tune in ourselves
To link to the channel of happiness
Now that we know more about others
We decide frequently
To try to find someone new
To know
To understand
And hence we keep on hoping from person to person
What would be ideal is?
Knowing thyself
Believing in us
And trying to talk
Trying to communicate
And express
And live a life of abundance

Smile of maturity..

Anger
Pain
Irritation
Jealousy
We all agree is bad, right?
Still, we as humans
Fall prey to it
And it’s okay
But, what we have to ensure is
We gotta overcome
Those shaky moments
Make them our past
As soon as possible
And it takes time
Sincere effort
Not to fall for it again
While on the path of recovery
It’s just like an injury
It takes just a moment
To be injured
Or fall prey to
The negative things of life
But then it takes
Time for healing
The path of recovery is long
But traversing on the path
We learn patience
Composure
Tolerance
Suffering
And it makes our character
Not falling prey for any is the best
But, if ever you fall also
Make sure you rise
Like a phoenix from ashes
Make sure you come out
With flying colors
Make sure you become a beautiful colorful butterfly
When you leave your cocoon
Make sure you have
THAT SMILE OF MATURTIY ON YOUR LIPS…

The Dark Side Of Love..

Unconditional love?

Nah, it doesn’t fascinate me.

Well, having said that, everybody seems to be using this word these days, but seldom does anyone follow it. For me, love is something which happens with your growth in maturity – as an individual and within the soul as well. It’s not about smiling, giggling, but it’s about caring and facing the difficulties – at the back end of it. Every day you get up and do your routine work, nothing really special to remember. Nothing really matters. What matters is the image that comes before you close your sleepy eyes. The image that is inside you all day – which tends to flash every now and then. And you don’t have the sense to realise the destination where you actually end up landing without any control whatsoever. That is the effect of that image – anywhere, everywhere. This image is nothing but your love. Without her, you tend to hate everything and everyone. At work, she gets into your work, your reports, your records. At leisure, she is never out of your mind. The songs you love, kill you with her thoughts. All you want is to consume her love, her earthly body, her mind, her soul and even her spirit. You wanna own her completely. You can’t stand the sight of her talking to anyone else. You can’t stand the sight of her ignoring you. This is not unconditional love. This form of love is unique and destructive in nature. But it is by far purest too – as you don’t really give a damn to anyone else. For you, love and the object of love is the same and the only one, nothing else. This kind of love is destructive in nature ’cause it can harm your relationship with others and you turn villain in the eyes of worldly people – but you’re the hero of your own story. But what happens when your loved one gets to know about all these, about the real you? She will be over the moon, overwhelmed with joy which has no bounds. A woman wants nothing but loyalty. And this loyalty drives her crazy.

Unconditional love?

Nah, it’s not for me, not for her, not for us.

About the author: It’s not me. One of my cousins have written this post. He asked me not to reveal him & also mentioned that THIS IS A WORK OF FICTION 😛 I seriously doubt this 😉 But, he has been a support for me always and appreciates and guides me while writing. Hope you liked it and you can also express yourself in the comments section 😀

Others matters..

Pray.

Kneel down.

Not because others do.

Not because others say.

But because we believe.

We believe in Him.

If not Him, then on a higher power.

On something bigger than humans.

On some miraculously magical energy.

Trust it.

Pray for it’s increased strength

Because we derive our strength from it.

Pray for it’s increased energy

Because we derive our energy from it.

Pray with a bigger heart.

Pray not only for ourselves

But also for others.

Because we are included in others.

He will not search for us

While showering His blessings.

He will sprinkle it on us.

On all of us.

The more we pray for all.

The more He sprinkles.

The more we get.

The more you get.

The more I get.

Don’t be selfish.

Or else you will be

Standing with an umbrella

Thinking the sprinkle as dust

Or a mild hail storm

And get naught.

While others around you

Will be celebrating.

So think of others also.

Not before yourself.

But think about them.

Others matters.

May be not to you.

But to Him.

To higher energy.

And you will be blessed accordingly.

I wonder what you wonder..

I wonder

What you wonder

When you are traveling

Back home

Looking out of the window

Thinking what not

About life and relations

And forgivesness and God

I want you to tell me all

What you feel

What you think

What you want

What you need

I want to sit

By your side

And travel

To your destination

I want to be

By your side

And share your journey

I don’t want to talk

While we are traveling

Just sit by your side

And letting you

Do what you want to do

Not interrupting

Your train of thoughts

Your gaze at the beauty of nature

The presence of peace

Reflecting on your cheeks

Just want to gaze at you

And just when you realize

I have been staring

Long enough

And you turn your head to me

I will look

At my phone

And act as if

I don’t know

Who the hell

Is sitting by my side

And play games

And I know you will

Turn away asap

Because you hate people

Playing games in phones

And then again

I will do what I like doing

Staring at you

When you are busy

Staring outside window

Zillion little pieces..

That frown

That slap

That pinch

That belt

That stick

That kick

That shouts

That hair pulling

That beatings

That behavior

That all had less

Impact on me

Thinking that

They are my parents

They have the rights

To torture me here & there

All was bearable

Until That fucking moment

When they said

Wish you were never born

And I was

Drained of all the hope

Of all the strength

Of that little amount of happiness

As if the carpet was pulled

From under my feet

I was broken into

Zillion little pieces

All scattered everywhere

I myself didn’t know

How to fix own self

So started living in the moment

Living the next 24 hours at a time

Not think much

Rather not think at all

Started all alone then

Now have some friends

With the same past as me

But I know we all got

Bigger better roads ahead

Because we got one another’s back

No matter the hard times..

Season of displeasure..

All good?

Great  !!

Because Good is good

All as expected

As thought

As visualized

Is awesome

But..

The opposite comes

It always comes

Sometimes

With full force

With all its prowess

All its arsenal

With our doom

As its dream

To crush us to pieces

To bury us miles underneath

To make us feel awful

About others & ourselves

To make us helpless

To make us shrink in confidence

To be termed as a failure

If not failure then a coward

These times are the times

Lived in the darkness of nights

In the dark corners of our hearts

Confusion wins over sanity

Fear wins over rationality

Sadness wins over happiness

You see everything happening

All at the same time

Like a rainfall of terrors

Downpour of displeasure

Pouring of unpleasant days

And you can just

Wait for the rain to slow down

Into a drizzle & eventually stop

Let the season of displeasure

Wither away

You stand good & straight

With firm will power

To walk again

Towards the better days

May be on the muddy road

But in the right direction

May be with less & unknown crowd

But with those who are not afraid

To journey towards their destination

Just like you

And when you reach there

You will find

The main pleasure lies in that

Season of displeasure..

Chasing all our life..

The chase is on

Was or is it ever off??

Before birth the chase starts

And it don’t end

Till after our death also

But the sad part is

Object of chase varies

And we think

That we always

Require to go after

The next object of chase

To make our life better

Greedy Us?!!

Or the society has become that

I love to believe the latter

Chase after good education

Chase after good life partner

Chase after good living

Chase after good livelihood

When do you think

We should draw a line??

Or think too much of chasing

Time to sit down

And enjoy the things

Gathered from the previous chases

But we seldom do

Craving for better

Craving for more & more

Does this crave does any benefit??

To us or our dear ones

I guess it does

Or else why to go till such lengths

But I hope I will get some answers

With passing age

& some wisdom

& on the path of evolution

Till then HAPPY CHASING BUDDIES 🙂

What I see….

What do you think

I see when you find me looking at the mirror?

Grieving soul?

Broken heart?

Pain in eyes?

Forced dimples on cheek?

Frowned brows?

Shrugged shoulders?

Failed composure?

Drenched life?

No !!

That’s not the reality

Because

I see

Smiling soul

Happy heart

Cheerful eyes

Attractive dimples

Lively brows

Capable shoulders

Confident composure

Blissful life

How can I stay sad and weak and in pain

When I know these are temporary and of no gain

Half the battle is won in mind

Before facing the battlefield wind

All I want to see is an evolved me

Today, tomorrow and that’s what I see..
