Afraid of what not..

We are so very afraid

Afraid of the known

Afraid of the unknown

Afraid of being rejected

Afraid of not meeting the expectations

Afraid of giving it a try

Afraid of keeping it in the heart

Afraid of letting go

Afraid of letting in

Afraid of the stormy night

Afraid of the peaceful dream

Afraid of the closeness

Afraid of the distances

Afraid of being in a limelight

Afraid of being ignored

Afraid of reaching greater heights

Afraid of not giving it a try

Afraid of daily routine

Afraid of the buried past

Afraid of the uncertain future

Afraid of the being a burden

Afraid of speaking up

Afraid of showing true emotions

Afraid of hiding true emotions

Afraid of what to do

Afraid of what not to do

Afraid of anything

Afraid of everything

Afraid of the never ending list

Afraid of life crawling away

Afraid of the people walking away

Afraid of things falling apart

Afraid of the choosing sides

Afraid of not following your heart

Afraid of following your heart & getting nowhere

Afraid of the known

Afraid of the unknown

Afraid of being afraid

Afraid of being unafraid

The more afraid you are

The more courageous you will be

Provided you want to stop being afraid

And become unafraid and free.

Steal you away..

You wake up at 8:30

And hurriedly get ready for office

And reach there by 9

There you do your work

Have a cup of tea in-between

Sometimes even a sandwich

Do social surfing and read online stuff

Talk to your boss about the work at hand

Feel drowsy sometimes and hence talk to some friend

Keep on chatting with them and so comes the lunch time

You have a controlled diet and prefer fruits

Over the artificial food being served

You rely much on water cause you think you’ll put on weight

And then the clock stucks 6

And the taxi arrives for you to go to hostel

Before that you spend the memorable times with your friends

With whom you’re open and share your life and options and decisions

And then you return to hostel and have dinner

And talk to your family whom you love the most

Your sisters and mum and dad and grandma

And then you pen down some of your thoughts

And save it for future reference

And then finally after some here there talk with roomies

Sleep hugs you and takes you to dreamland

---

I want to steal you away

From your daily hectic boring schedule

Not for always but for a week

And take you to a wonderful place

And spend time with you

Talk to you, know you better

Make you smile

Give you flowers

Tease you by calling names

Want you to come back at me for teasing you

Want you to enjoy nature and feel the breath

Want you to stand with your feet on my feet and walk with me like that

Want you to tickle so much that you can’t breathe due to laughter

Want you to cherish the marshmallows and strawberries

Want you to feel love and freedom everywhere around you

Want you to leave behind every trouble and worries at bay

Want you to feel like a Queen and me your butler

Want you to feel the last rays during sunset

Want you to fall asleep with a smile on your lips

Want you to hold my elbow even while sleeping

Want you to be YOU so that we can be WE

And wake up daily with this feeling of completeness

Let’s welcome the Spring!!

I am leading such a dull life

I realized it today

When at 7 pm I read online

That today is SPRING EQUINOX

I became so happy after a tiresome day

The words in itself brought a smile on my face

And the reason behind it is simple

I love Spring and I love Winter

So, Spring Equinox & Winter Solstice are eagerly waited

Now as the Spring has arrived

The birds will start chirping

The flowers will start blossoming

The leaves will start growing

The kids will start holidaying

The elders will start feeling the evening breeze

The farmers will start growing crops

The world will start celebrating

Wow, such a small little unimportant thing for most

Can bring brightness in my life

I am blushing with music filled in my Heart

As the Spring has arrived 🙂

P.S.: My birthdate will also come soon 😀

Sewed with Good Intentions..

You don’t have an ounce of knowledge

How I live my life

How I tackle with situations

How I confront my mistakes

How I accept the unavoidable

How I go an extra mile for some

How I pull out for the undeserving

How I became the one I am today

How I sometimes try to multi-task and succeed

How I just can’t do a small simple thing

How I smile outside with pain inside

How I manage my time to make you feel okay

How I sacrifice things to see you happy

How I smile seeing others at peace

How I feel guilt with others in pain

How I cry in restroom so that no one sees

How I laugh loudly to let others know I am okay

How I stand for things that always fall

How I give up on things that remained forever

How I feel alone with people everywhere around me

How I like being busy always so that no bad thoughts will come to me

How I sleep less hours to make sure I do what’s good for all

How I feel when I am in love with a gal

How I help you bring your feel-good-factor back

How I want to go to sleep when in anger and sadness

How I enjoy so much of that power nap

How I try to wake early for some purpose but fail

I am just a human filled with failures, regrets, success, hope, love, anger, sadness, emotions, guilt, truth, hard work,

But all sewed up with good intentions.

Help me tell my story..

I was there in my balcony,

looking at the vast blue sky,

seeing the birds migrate,

gazing at the slowly setting sun,

reminiscing the good old days.

Those days, when I used to count backwards,

to that day when my grandma would come,

come to visit me from village.

It didn’t matter what did she bring for me,

hand-made pickles, a bag of toys or any other thing.

What mattered was THE STORIES.

I used to love listening to stories,

bedtime stories of ghosts,

noon time stories of king & queen,

stories I read from my books,

stories I visualized myself to feel safe.

The lesson learnt from each story was crucial,

but more crucial was the imagination,

the way in which I visualized myself as the protagonist.

The movement of hands of my grandma while telling the stories,

the lowering of tempo of her voice during suspense,

the big wide eyes to show surprise,

the soothing smile to show happy ending,

was all very important to me.

I used to believe more in that imaginative world.

I used to think that my imaginative world could had given me more pleasure,

because I could not keep those stories inside me anymore.

I needed to tell those to someone, to anyone, but in vain,

because I was only meant to listen them,

as I was born a Dumb!!

Let the colors ECHO..

Monochrome is done with,

Colors are everywhere,

From dark to shades to just-a-hint,

I can’t envision life without it.

As colors helps us in distinguishing,

Even the things without any color defined,

can also be bright and colorful.

Try making someone happy,

Try spreading a smile,

Try giving sympathy,

Try patting someone for good,

Try praising others,

Try helping anyone,

And when you will receive the same treatment,

Think about ECHO,

It always returns to the producer,

After going distance and shouting out loud.

your good deed will have voice then.

This voice will make lives colorful,

not only yours, but also of others.

And when you color others life,

You get blessed,

Blessed for eternity,

Blessed with Peace & Freedom.

P.S.: Have a Happy & Safe Holi

Unique wardrobe!!

We all wear dresses that we like,

In which we look handsome, dashing,

beautiful, cool and which will suits us.

We keep a whole range of dresses in our wardrobe,

and we know we will rock in any of the robes.

Similarly, we humans are like a wardrobe.

We contain so many qualities, good, bad and ugly,

and wearing all these qualities,

we will look so much awesome,

and all these qualities comes at the cost of constant working on it,

Trying to evolve the quality and indirectly evolving yourself.

Wear these qualities and look beautiful,

So that others will like your robe so very much,

that they will themselves start wearing it.

Help others look beautiful and if they need suggestions,

Give them the best, for they’re the ones who recognize your beauty,

They deserve to be recognized also.

You never know, you may lead to the World of Narnia,

with the help of this unique Wardrobe.

Eagerness in people!!

Shall I call them two-faced or multi-faced,

Or shall I call them people with black hearts,

No matter what I call them,

They will eagerly do what they always do,

They will eagerly bitch in my name,

They will eagerly poke their ugly nose,

They will eagerly try to drag me down,

They will eagerly add pressure in my life,

They will eagerly stomp over me,

They will eagerly curb my enthusiasm,

They will eagerly confuse my thoughts,

They will eagerly stab me at back,

They will eagerly spoil my plans,

They will eagerly jinx my work,

They will eagerly pray for my bad,

They will eagerly want me surrendering,

They will eagerly want me to sweat,

They will eagerly wipe the smile off of my face,

They will eagerly hunt me down,

They will eagerly hurt me for pleasure,

And, I will eagerly deny them their eagerness!!

Today’s people are like an iceberg. Only 1/9th of their character is shown which wants to help people during troubles and the rest 8/9th is hidden and eagerly waiting to know our troubles and see us suffer!!

Insomnia of 31st night!!

Insomnia is a disease with which most people suffer. We take credit for it( I for sure do) but many believe in criticizing it and suppressing it and follow “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy & wise.”
I sleep so very less and try to make this less time more less by keeping myself engaged doing some stuff or the other. My hobbies help me achieving this goal.
On 31st night I didn’t sleep the whole night as I was partying with my cousins & friends and had a really awesome start to 2015!! Slept @7am and due to less sleep and varied hours of sleep puked whole day but never felt like taking rest.
I knew within that this was just due to lack of some sleep and it will wither and get better and so it did. Now I am again having fun with friends and enjoying this new year with vacations going on.

Come Monday and it will be again back to daily schedule of ‘morning->office->dinner->me-time->sleep’
Acquainted, but can always cherish an unknown factor of surprise hangout or party once in a while.

How was your start to the 2015? Did you keep any resolutions? I for sure haven’t 😉
We celebrate 31st night because we are happy that we were able to endure the whole of last year no matter what situations we faced.. Or because we want to welcome the coming year with a bang and want this new year to bring good and happy news always.. Or maybe BOTH!!

Happy 2015,
Darshith!!

Diwali is here. Where is Humanism??

A very Happy Cracking Diwali to all.

We Indians have so many festivals to look forward to every year. And then in a blink of an eye a year passes and the same festival has come again.
Diwali, the festival of crackers, fire and rejoice of return of Shri Ram to Ayodhya after 14 years of Exile, is the most celebrated festival in India.

Now what is celebration?? I am not trying to restrict your definition of Celebration here. But I am trying to share my definition of Celebration.
Lighting crackers once in a year is good and Okay. It adds a new way of enjoyment in life. But most importantly, celebrating Diwali in a safe manner is a must. Ensuring that we have fun during the festival and don’t take away the fun of “Others” also. Here the “Others” also include The Earth. We have to see to it that we don’t pollute this beautiful environment much in just this 1 day. We should not only think about ourselves, but also about the next generations and how they can preserve our Earth.

The Existence of Earth = The Existence of Us.

The most important thing is to play it safe. There can be many accidental incidents and fires and damages. So, some precaution can keep us happy for a long time.
Fire crackers and rejoice, cause that’s what Diwali stands for but with those who can’t afford buying them. And also in limited numbers and not the whole night, that it may cause trouble to the ones living in our neighborhood.

Safe Diwali = Happy Diwali.

Warm Wishes,
Darshith 🙂
