Time, money, & people

Time waits for none

A while back I was in school

And right now I am having a job

Away from family

Away from my childhood friends

Alone in a new city

Don’t know whom to trust

All strong and brave during the whole day

And all silent and scared during the night

Sometimes taking help of tears to sleep

Sometimes not sleeping at all

Not because of internet

But because of my worries about being away from dear ones

And trying to earn some money

But money is not all

It can’t buy me happiness

It’s all about the time

Once gone, it NEVER comes back

And hence I want it to spend wisely

And not waste it anymore

Get to know more good people

And in this process, I will have to let go of some too

Those who don’t serve my purpose anymore

Those who were important back then

But not anymore

And I am grateful to each and every one of them

You gave your best when you were there

And I hope I reciprocated it well too

Now, its time to know and explore new things

So, good luck to you and to me too ❤

P.S.: FIFA WC has started since yesterday in Russia. So, it is going to be a busy next month 😀 And I have stopped biting my nails so that’s one of the best things in my life recently and even UEFA Champions League final couldn’t get my old habit back so I am proud of it 😀 How are you, people? Which team are you supporting in this FIFA WC?

The voice of Time & Happiness

Have you ever seen me? Have you ever touched me? Have you ever heard my voice? Do you ever imagine how do I look? No?  Well, but I exist. Everywhere. The harsh truth is: No one really believes in me. I have seen the very first formation of life as bacteria and algae to stars and galaxies. I remember everything about everyone.  Their past, present and future. The thing is that I can’t speak on my own, unless I really want to. I am bound to the one Superpower, about whom I wouldn’t speak anything.

It has been just a few years for me. Let’s say from the early stone age to modern day world. I have seen people evolve, technology evolve. But they haven’t really evolved from within. They have actually become darker with regards to their thoughts and nature. They are scared of the society. The social class. The society they made themselves. They can have what they want, at times, but they don’t stretch their hands to hold it because of social awareness. They do what they don’t want. And they do nothing for what they actually want. Reasons may be many. It’s true for most of the situations.

Well, that’s just one aspect of life. Now, something about one thing which everyone might agree. Every action has consequences. Every word, spoken or written, has consequences. Even someone’s silence does have massive consequences. No action has consequences, too. Dig a little deep into your minds and take a little leap of faith. For there is nothing wrong with taking an action which could result in something you dream. Something you desire.

Now, let me tell you a little story about ocean tides: Once the tides yelled at me that they are tired of their routine exercises on and off the shores. That was the only time I saw them come to me. They didn’t come after that day. Reason?  I said, “All right. You are asking me for something against your nature.  So you want to stay at the same place like waiting for someone? Right?  Fine. You can take rest. But sooner than later you will not be fine. You will stink. Shout for help. But no one would hear you then. And if that happens, don’t you come to me again.”  Hence, it goes this way, “Time and tide wait for none.”

Can you relate this to human nature? What am I trying to tell? There is always going to be ups and downs in life like tides. That is the very part of everyone’s life. No one is truly happy or truly sad here. If you think a king is happy, you are wrong. There’s a proverb:  “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.”

If you think that a poor family is sad, well, not always. Their happiness is when the Mother sees her little children have their meals after a day of work. The Father earns for  the happiness of the kids. So there is little  happiness there, isn’t it? True happiness is something which I have seen elude many, many over the ages.  If you can’t relate to  this, you got to get under the skin of people to truly understand why and how they are what they are. And then you’d find the true meaning of happiness.

Now, wrapping off  this little text for your convenience. The future: Everyone cares and is scared of what future holds for them, right? Well, it’s good to plan for the future. But do not let it ruin your present. For I have seen a lot of time people waste in their lives waiting, waiting and waiting for the “right time”. That makes me wonder when I was wrong?  Right?

P.S.: Isn’t this post classic? I am not trying to praise my work. This was not written by me. This was written by my cousin, the one who wrote THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE & THE COLOUR OF WATER. He is a blessing to me and helps me in my shortcomings. Hope he writes more and shares with all of us. Today’s song pick is Layla of Eric Clapton 🙂

Realization

What?

That is impossible. I don’t accept it. It is illogical.

How can I grow when time has stopped? I mean think, all the clocks in this world have stopped ticking & it is the same since I DON’T KNOW because time has stopped. Stopped DEAD! I am thinking and it implies that the second hand should do “its thing” of ticking faster than the other two hands. But it ain’t. And as it isn’t ticking, the other two are stagnant.

This is causing a fucking headache. Why is it happening? Is it just in my head? I am feeling dizzy. Short of breath. Oh! I think, I know the reason for all these things. I am dying and that’s why everything has stopped. Oh now I know, this is the time when I have to reminisce all of the good, the bad & the ugly moments of my life. No! Only the good. Who cares about the bad & the ugly? 

This is just a moment but it feels like it is made of years and decades & centuries from within. I am dying but with the good memories running as a slideshow in my head, I want to live. I have never wanted to stay more alive. Something’s kicking from inside asking me to stop all this & get out of this thing. I hate this feeling of being dead. Time being dead. When time stops dead, I am dead. We are all dead.

I have never experienced real death like this before but I have come very close to this feeling. You ask when?

It was when I failed in my Graduation final year. I realized that I have to study one more year and I was no way more knowledgeable than I was the year before. I wasted my whole year. From that day, I made a promise to myself that I won’t waste even a single day. There is so much to learn out there, only if we are open to see it and learn from it. And irrespective of whether we are alive or dead or forgotten, things will be moving because we will be wanting to learn. The day we stop to learn is the DOOMSDAY for us. We may take some time to realize it but let’s just hope that we realize it before it’s too late.

I woke up at the rising tone of my phone’s alarm and all sweaty. I was panting as if I just had been racing against Usain Bolt. Reality struck me, I was late for my final year exam of Graduation and was hoping against hope while traveling to college that WAS MY REALIZATION A BIT LATE?

P.S.: Don’t just sit back and relax. Go, learn but remember to visit again 😀 Happy weekend and today’s pick is Hotel california of Eagles 🙂

Contradicting thoughts

Sometimes
No, many times
I face a dilemma
That how can
I sway sides
And still not
Curse myself
For the instability
There are days
When I consider
Myself good
And a sane guy
And then the switch
Is pressed
The tables are turned
The tides rise high above
The horizon seems to move more farther
Stability just becomes a hollow word
Hell lose free
I become a devil
Devil for me
Devil for most
And I start thinking all bad
And somehow I get through it too
Just like everything else
And then the contradiction phase
Starts and I think
Why this happens?
Is it just me?
It sure isn’t just me
But it can be only me too
If it’s only me
Then I gotta find a solution to this
Or give up
But if it’s with others too
Then I gotta make sure
That I let everybody know this
And in return
Get some inputs
But most don’t care
About what’s happening with me
Because of the same reason
That I don’t care
What’s happening with them
So the no.of inputs decrease
But no matter the inputs
Come or not
Deep within I know
The present is perfect
Good or bad is an illusion
And living the present
In the best possible way
Is the best possible thing
I can do to keep
These contradicting nature at bay

P.S.: Weekend is here but it’s 3:30 am here & no particular song is coming to me. Feel free to share any of your present favorites here 😉 Goodnight!

Gone are the days..

Gone are the days of drinking from the same glass
Gone are the days of whole night of love making
Gone are the days of staring at each other among the crowd
Gone are the days of stealing kisses in parties
Gone are the days of sending intimate mails when apart
Gone are the days of your arms around me
Gone are the days of your beautiful lips on mine
Gone are the days of fighting and patching up
Gone are the days of smiles shared and tears cared
Gone are the days of me tucking your hair behind your ear
Gone are the days of you kissing my weird nose and making it blush
Gone are the days of me apologizing for my silly mistakes
Gone are the days of exchanging sorries and hugging each other
Gone are the days we used to love
Gone are the days of the beautiful time spent together

 
 

Memories are all we have
They will also start to dwindle
After some months and some years
You won’t remember me in your mind
But, I can just hope
That deep in your heart
You will never forget me
How I amde you feel
How I could make the butterflies flutter
Everytime we talked and
Everytime we met
How I cared for you
Al these are my hopes
Reality, on the other hand,
Can be different
For better or worse
And I should and
I will accept that
But, I never
Regreted any single day
Or any single moment
I spent with you
Now, we just gotta move on
And, hope that our hearts
Will be connected to each other
By the thinnest of thread
of Love and never be apart

I WAS GIVEN THE TOPIC: “MISCHIEF”

Timer counting down

Is it indicating it will end?

Or it will start again?

Latter is good

Because if time ends

What will live?

Where will all my thoughts & past be?

Time willbe forgotten

Just like all the other things which ends

And if we forget time

There will be no present

Only past

All the good times, past

All the Bad times, past

All the past times, past

Where will we br?

Will be age?

Oh I am deviating from the topic

And to say its 3 minutes gone

And I didn’t think of MISCHIEF

OH now I understand

Time is mischievious

It has already started playing with me

Not making me concentrate on

The given topic at hand

And trying to seek my attention

Just like an attention seeker girlfriend

But it don’nt know

That the attention seeker gf

Doesn’t always get all the attention

Just in the beginning

Then its all tata buh bbye

See, she is in the past 😀

And the concentration again comes

Back to the topic at hand

At this is how mischievious Time is

Because we believe we live in the present

But TIme makes sure

That we always think

That we always lived in the past.!!

Time- 6:50

Words- 205

Now your topic: “UNDERESTIMATE”

I hope you enjoy completing this challenge, as I did. Good day!

It all came down on me at once..

It was raining when I left office

Had a stressed day

Was in an arguement with my senior

But then apologised and patched things up

But still, I shouldn’t had yelled at him

There I was in the bus

All wet from the rain

Sudden rainfall and you’re heavy

Thankfully got seat in the bus

And that too window was not being closed

And that was the last available empty seat

Rested my ass and exhaled

Closing my eyes and reminiscing the happenings of today

I have to control my tongue

Anger was correct I know that

And it was more irritation and frustration

And so and so

Went down the memory lane looking at the rain outside

How I have reached here, drenched and frustrated

And there it was, everything right in front of me

All the good days, bad days, ugly days

And time just flew away all in a flash

One blink of an eye and I was deserted

As if I was left behind, far behind

And all others, everyone have gone forward at lightning speed

It not only made me sad and devastated but also happy for all

As atleast they are doing good with their lives

I was left staring at my own reflection on the window glass

Which was dirty, misty and that blurred reflection said it all

Just then a drop of tear fell from my eye

And in the window reflection, I saw it’s course down my cheek to edge of the lip to the chin

And pretended(mostly to myself) that something entered my eye

Due to this windy raining evening

And when I saw if someone caught me shedding that one tear

I saw that no on was there for me or atleast looking at me

All were occupied with their own troubles or the temporary phase of happiness

And then I reached my stop

Gathered my bag, excused myself till the exit

And was down again in the rain and all drenched.

Ain’t got!!

Poor ain’t got money,

Rich ain’t got peace,

Terrorists ain’t got humanity,

Politicians ain’t got votes,

Teachers ain’t got time,

Students ain’t got opportunities,

Haters ain’t got love,

Lovers ain’t got faith,

Parents ain’t got responsibilities,

Kids ain’t got patience,

Managers ain’t got resources,

Resources ain’t got skills,

Comedians ain’t got fame,

Actors ain’t got privacy,

Laborers ain’t got future,

Lawyers ain’t got witnesses,

Detectives ain’t got proof,

Customers ain’t got bargain,

Producers ain’t got profit,

But, they all got one thing same,

All crave for some thing or the other in their own ways.

Poverty gnaws all.

P.S.: This was a topic asked by another close friend. Title was ‘Poverty’. Hope I did justice.

Time- Silent Reminder!!

Time is important, we all know, but how?

Do you have time in life? I, for sure, have none!!
Whenever someone asks me about doing anything, the ever-ready answer that’s always there on my lips is “I don’t have time.”.. Then depending on the priority of the tasks, I, of course, change my answer which means I have time 😀

But, seriously, I wonder whether I have time or not?? And then I come to the point that, yes I do. Of course I do.
We all are blessed with exact 24 hours time in a day. The way in which we utilize these common 24 hours daily, defines us.

The difference between a successful man and an unsuccessful man, is how each use their 24 hours.
So, my dear friend, time is very important, so please don’t take it lightly or waste it by doing the things which don’t hold much value in life.
Invest time in the things which are REALLY important to you, and “Time will gift you the feeling of happiness & peace in the long run.”

Time, is just like a silent reminder, which doesn’t has to shout to tell its importance in our lives.

A man is what he does and not what he says he’ll do. Don’t leave things for tomorrow, because tomorrow never comes.

Respect Time,
Darshith.
