Quieten the mind

Oh, the thoughts!
Not always the rebellious ones
Sometimes sneaking out of the blue
Slowly dragging their way in our minds
Not letting us get rid of them
It was going all good
Things seemed to be happier
A bit brightening
And boom
The chaos strikes
Helter Skelter
Nothing in order
Nothing in control
Even if we switch off the lights
Cover our heads under the pillow
It JUST won’t stop
The thoughts
The demons
Won’t stop shouting
Won’t stop bugging
Won’t stop whispering
They want it their way
They want to leave an impact
They want to stay in our minds
Because they think we’re weak
We can’t control our minds
And they’re correct
We can’t
Not at that moment
When the chaos sparks
But then comes a time
Of the Phoenix
Because we know ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
And we want out
We want it done
We want the peace
We want the calmness
For that, we’ll do anything and everything
And if it means to stand up
Against our fear and our demons
Then so be it
We do it
Maybe not gracefully
We do it just by the edge
But we get it done
We show them the door
We drag them out of their so-called habitat
And then there’s nothing
There’s no rejoice of the victory
No cheers
There’s the pin-drop silence
The void
And then there’s us
Budding as a new person
A new thought
A new life

Taming my own demons

It’s difficult, just like everything else. Or, it’s easy, just like everything else.

Henry Ford rightly said, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t — you’re right.”

With me, it’s the same. And I am sure, with you all, it’s the same too. But my inner heart says that most of us just fail to have a strong will power of DOING IT.  To have a strong will power means to have a strong character. To have a strong character means to have a strong guidance throughout our life(childhood, youth, and next). To have good guidance means to have good people around ourselves everywhere(home, office, friends). So finally, to have good people around ourselves, we ourselves have to be good first. To be a good person, we have to be good at heart.

To become or remain good we have to tame our demons, regularly. It’s similar to an app’s update because new changes and features keep on coming. Or, new bugs like the Ransomware virus ruling the market since 2 days. So, it’s important to evolve and keep on taming our demons to stay good and then only good things will happen.

How to tame our demons? Good that you ask. First, we have to be strong mentally to face them, keeping aside our fear of facing and also the fear of losing. Then, we have to prepare for the face-off. What to do when we actually face our demons? What tricks we can play? Like Mohandas Ranchod Das’ words from the Movie ‘3 idiots’, i.e., ‘Aal izz welll’, we have to keep on reminding ourselves that no matter the outcome, it’s always in our favor or whatever happens, happen for a reason and we just have to try and forget about the outcome.

Taming is not an easy process and a time consuming one too but it definitely gives the expected result if tried regularly and with dedication. Many try to stop smoking or drinking or biting nails(yeah, that’s me!) but we fail the first time. Forget the first time, we fail the 50th time too. I have always failed in the case of biting nails but in the back of my mind, it’s there. I want to get rid of this bad habit and someday I will. When I will be mentally ready and then, I will let you all know about it.

We have to keep on fighting and trying to be better the next day always. That’s the key. One of the other reasons is in the below video. Feel free to have a look.

 

P.S.: Today’s song pick is All my Loving of Paul McCartney. I love this song and this guy and Paul is in Pirates of Carribean 5 movie so it will be interesting. See you soon and how are you all? Miss me? Want me to travel to a place? Want me to gift you a book? Please let me know in the comment section ❤

 

 

AtoZ challenge Day04 (D for D^&%$#*@)

Hello, beautiful souls! Having a great day?

We can always talk positive things endlessly but we have to accept that there is negativity out there. Our goodness has to fight it. Either of them has to be dominant. It is our choice of which will be ruling.

“Smiles here & smiles there” has gone 1 level up from 1st April. I have made a YouTube channel in which I will share inspirational thoughts & other random yet relevant thoughts & also some of my personal experiences. You can subscribe to the channel @ Darshith Badiyani.

In today’s video, we talk on the negativity out there. Too much of positivity is not good for health 😉

Check out the video & you can share your views about it in the comment section.

With this new channel, I hope to spread smiles here & smiles there & smiles THERE too 😀

P.S.: Today’s song pick is Demons of Imagine Dragons. People who inspire me are Dileep Sankhla & Deepika. Both are young, thoughtful, & have it within them to make it big.

Darkest hour cometh

He was confused

Lost his sanity

Lost his judgement

Lost his senses

Lost his happiness

Left his home

Left his family

Left his life behind

And he drove all night

To uncertainty

To sanity

To mental stability

The destination of the drive

Could not be found on any maps

Because it was within him

Somewhere hidden

And in hibernation

It was on him to search

It’s hiding habitat

And discover it

He was alone

With his grief

And his demons

And it was him who could

Find a way to shut them

All down and bid them goodbye

He knew they were toxic

And then the midnight

Became pitch dark darkness

Just before the dawn

The darkest hour cometh

He was not at all drowsy

Because the fear and sadness

Had shaken his world upside down

He knew he can tackle them

When he started the car engine

Now When the dawn was just some

Minutes away

He decided it’s time to

Go back

To the same fucking life

Of insecurities and chaos

And just when he was about to

Reach his home and

Go into the arms of

The source of all his problems

He chose the most

Easy and difficult way out

He drove his car

Into the trunk of the banyan tree

And before bidding goodbye

To his demons

He had to bid goodbye to

The unsatisfying, unhappy

Bitchy world

He was a part of..
