The Widow
The day was bright,
The sky was blue,
Change was in the air,
Of which I had no clue….
I rang the bell,
But no response,
I knocked the door,
Still no response….
I walked to the side,
Peeked through the window,
In search of,
My friend’s widow….
She saw me peeking and said,
The door is open,
I went in to the room,
Strong she was, though all broken….
She gave a faint smile,
As I entered the room,
I said not to worry,
He will come soon….
Everything would change,
Though it is sadness lately,
We are all waiting,
For that cry, daily!
She was on due as,
She had a 9 month old,
Inside her womb and
The baby will be her gold….
“It’s happening” she said,
I ran to arrange,
A wheelchair for the widow,
As it was indeed time for a change….
My Quotes
Here are few quotes written by me over last few years….
1)Things might go wrong around you but the thoughts inside you must stay strong….
2)All happiness are for moments…. it is for those moments we live!
3)happiness is in a room full of darkness and my thoughts are the ropes tied to me…with door of light locked in front of me and keys somewhere in the room of darkness! So hapiness is in the room but not with me, light is just a door away whose keys are in the room ,
still i cant have anything….
i have just put up a scenario ,from here either i can find the key ,open the door of light and get happiness OR be scared of dark and vanish in the dark! just wanted to say everything is in our reach….
4)At a point of time some will be ahead of you and some behind , the thing is to continue as you are. See behind for your success and see ahead to reach your goal !!
5)You achieve what you wanna achieve , dont let anyone stop you.. Have one life , better do what you want than keeping others happy!!
6)As the time moves a year change, bringing changes in our character as we grow, bringing more maturity, more sensibilty etc etc still the childish part inside us remains the same! Showing us to enjoy life , Remainding us to live a life!
Love the life and Live the life………..
7)At certain point of time we all think we are smarter than someone but when we go down the road we feel someone showing us they are smarter than us!!
8)The hardest thing one has to do is to fight one’s own mind !!
Do share your views on any of the quotes…. Thank you ….
THE FAME…
Few years back,
I was someone,
Having a struggle,
With myself and the world
Now he is someone,
In the dark
Trying very hard,
To make a mark
I took risks,
Played life as a game,
Ignored the people,
To reach the fame
He is honest
Like I was,
He had passion
Like I had
Now I have riches
With no one to enjoy and live,
I still have dreams
Which money couldn’t give
Now he has no riches,
But only love to live
Now he has dreams,
Which only money can give
Close ones around
Were after the money,
Life seemed dark
And the weather was sunny
He told the close ones,
How rich he wants to be,
Giving his best,
To reach his goal
I am sad and lonely,
With richness and fame,
Started to walk back,
To play a new game
As he started his walk,
To play the fame game…
Crossing the road…
What I am about to pen down might not be entirely correct…
Let us consider the crossing of a road similar to the life we live, the other side of the road is where we want to be with vehicles being the obstacles that lie in our path to the other side.
Imagine two scenarios
1) Crossing one of the busiest roads
2) Helping an old woman/blind man cross the road
[Let us assume that vehicles are coming from both the directions and there is no subway]
If we take the first scenario, say we just run to other side, it’s sure we will be hit by a vehicle!!! What next? A trip to a hospital or death…So we must see to it that we look in both the directions and make sure that no vehicles (obstacles) are coming towards us, also we must time the move to other side such that we will reach the other side in minimal time (we can see the obstacles coming towards us in life, time everything perfectly so that we will reach our goal at the right time). The obstacle might be a two wheeler or a drunken truck driver, the severity of the hit differs with the impact of the collision and so is the real life scenario, Solve it with full attention. Take action to solve the problems you face today, otherwise it may trouble you in the future.
Time your crossing to perfection to reach the other side, people around you will surely realize you are going to make it to other side. They may follow you so that they can reach the other side too, but if there is another road to cross don’t expect them to help you. In life you are on your own and if someone wants to help you then you can take it, but don’t expect them to help you cross the road just because you had helped them once.
Tackle your obstacles and attain what you want in life. Just because the traffic rate is huge if you stay on one side you will remain where you are. Once you are in this world make sure you leave a small dot of your success in a big sheet called world!!! Cross the road and achieve your goal.
Now let’s talk about the second scenario. I took this scenario just to see how others respond on something while you help someone. One guy will say you are just showing off as there are girls/boys nearby, some will be jealous and may pass a comment on you. On the other hand some will say it was nice of you to help the people in need. In life when one tries to attain success, there will be many who would see you as a rival or would get jealous of you. Some might even try to demean you. The Idea is to do what you want to or achieve what you want to while ignoring these kinds of people. There will be many who would want to be friends with you or appreciate you, acknowledge them but also make sure you don’t get too close with them. Who knows whether they might even be there when you fall? The ones who knew or have been with you for a long time are the only ones you can be sure of; rest, the time will decide.
What I want to say is when you move ahead in life there will be two kinds of people; one who will appreciate you for what you do and another who will find flaws in what you do, remember one thing though- to cross the road no matter what others say or think of you!!!!
Even while we cross a road we must make sure that we cross it as quickly as possible, you cannot take a whole day, can you? Similarly in life the decisions should be made as swiftly as possible and in the safest way possible.
In the beginning I had said no subways. It’s because they are like shortcuts, they may be good or bad. Theft, robbery or maybe an opportunity that you might have never imagined that can take you to heights. The difference is in subway you are sure you will be reaching the other side or maybe not if there is a sudden earthquake or the structure collapses due to bad or corrupt work!! Similarly the robbery could go well or the opportunity can lead to success but who knows where it will take us, it’s possible it will make way for another road to cross! We have seen many who got instant success crumble down the road..Success will always be sweeter to a person who knows what struggle is.
So all I have to say is, every small thing in life we do can become an important part of our life… To cross a road is a small part indeed, but we still can learn a lot from it!!
People, hope you cross the road in safest and quickest way possible…. Good luck
Forgotten Emotion….
I was walking on an unknown mountain,
I could not see the top,
Every step I took was hard,
But nothing could make me stop….
You had given me the pain,
Which I would never forget,
You had shown me the love,
Which I would never regret….
As I moved into the mountain
Found stones on every step I took,
And the trees were so thick,
That, nowhere could I look….
I still could smell the fragrance
That you left around me
I still could feel the thoughts
That you left in me….
Crossed all the hurdles,
Reached the top of the mountain
Exhausted by the journey,
Expected the miracle of rain…
Years passed since we met,
The battle inside was still on,
Years passed since I cried,
But the battle was still on….
The bottom of the mountain was not be seen
Journey ahead was a free fall,
The path taken had been the toughest of all,
Journey ahead was quick and small….
There wasn’t a place I hadn’t looked for you,
Now sitting in this park, alone
Stood up for another search
With the strength I own….
As I took my next step in air
Had one good look at the path behind,
The free fall felt like a joy
A movie at its end with no rewind…
As I stood there for one more go,
Felt a touch of a finger on my back,
Unable to believe it was you
The forgotten happiness was back….
In Her Eyes…
The truth was in her eyes
And his talk was full of lies…..
He told me to go away,
As she was only his
Were my eyes playing tricks?
Or something did I miss…..
Tears fell from my eyes
As I said my final goodbye
Seeing her for one last time
Thinking whether I was ever her guy…..
All I could think as I walked out
Was never would I fall in love again
Tears following my every step
Holding onto all my pain…..
Saw my past as I stepped outside
Remembered her every move and line
Making me realize the truth in her eyes
How did I miss she was indeed mine…..
I went in as he said I do
And you miss, the priest said
Silence followed around the room
No, I don’t from her lips is what I read…..
After all those years together
The love had grown from seed to flower
Never should have doubted her
As she will always be mine forever…..
WAY OF LIFE
Hope is the word we hang on to
When the darkness rise above us
But all we need is the confidence
To bring the ray of light in us……
Failure is what we see everywhere
When things start to go wrong
But all we need is the hard work
To bring the ray of success in us……
Life was never easy and it never will be
The path we lead will have stones
But smartness is to make ourselves
A slipper with the tools around us……
Many may wonder about the thorns
Make use of your hands and legs
If not use the smartness to remove
The roots with the tools around us……
At hard times we may feel
Sadness being all around
It is the happiness we need to search
Which will be hiding in plain sight……
Past is something off our reach
So why worry over it
When present is still around
To work on for a better future ahead……
