SOMEONE:
'Someone' hidden inside me tells me not
to do this, not to do that. I am fed up. That silent 'Someone' somewhere sitting inside me stops me when I run after
the glittering and blinding beauty. That 'Someone' tells me that it's just a mirage, an illusion. It tells me to turn back
as it's not going to take me to the goal I want to reach....to turn back or I will be lost on my way and will never
be able to come back. But I don't listen. I run after that glitter. I want to grab it , have it all. I run after it
knowing the result, such is the attraction. I want to return but I am totally helpless. I listen to my restless mind. It seems
the only truth and how pleasant is what my mind tells me. This running drains me out, takes away all my energy. I only run
and run . I run aimlessly. And one day when I realize, it's too late. I return but I have lost a part of my life. That 'Someone'
in me is silent. That silence is deafening and I have only tears to shed. I have nothing left with me. That 'Someone'
again whispers and tells me to get up, to wipe off my tears and look forward. He tells me to walk on the clean path and make
the best out of what is left. Oh! I am fed up. That silent 'Someone' deep down is still active, trying to stop me to
run after the past. Oh! Why is it so hard to listen to Him? Oh.....
Every action has an Equal and opposite Reaction
Some genuine thoughts of mine...I don't
know in this flow of thoughts if I am able to organize them properly to make sense... I have been saying and believing
that what has to happen will and nobody can change one's fate. But then I am forced to think... so one who does wrong knowingly,
one who hurts people, one who commits crime for his own selfish reasons, can get away with it if he is not destined to be
punished. But if this is so, then this is not fair. Isn't it the law of nature that Every action has an equal and opposite
reaction ? How much can we depend on fate? How much can we laugh at others, feel proud of our power and boast of some good
combination of stars in our so called destiny? Time is bad or time is good, not does it remain the same always. I am
supreme, no one can touch me, I can hurt, I can do wrong but who has the courage to fight with my power is the feeling in
people who have been enjoying the sunshine for quite a long stretch of time. Everything is accumulating. Those drops of tears
caused by you, those vibrations created by you, those silent painful screams which are not heard
are getting accumulated. Don't be surprised if one day, all of them come together like a big wave and drown you totally and
wash away your mask. Those stars will not be with you then and you will remain alone with your self-created misery. Such
strong can be the vibrations that might reach you one day. Don't forget that, All the smiles that you put on other's
faces go in vain if you are the cause of a single drop of tear.
Prayers
and Hopes
All of us being human beings, live on hopes. The hope that one day my wish will be fulfilled, one day it
will be better than what it is today, one day I will achieve success or one day I will be united with my beloved and
so on... But as days pass by, man starts getting scared...what if my wish is not fulfilled, what if I fail to achieve
what I want so dearly ? And that scared being starts looking for a support. It's very hard for an ordinary human being
to be totally independent, to fight all alone. And the fear of losing or the thought of his wish not getting fulfilled
makes him weak. The confidence in him takes a turn and he starts looking for something or someone whom he can rely on, someone
whom he can tell his wishes, someone who can help him. And that's where he turns to prayers and remedies. We all accept that
there is a Superpower which controls the happenings in the world and we worship that Superpower in the form of a deity/a visible
form as it is easy for the human mind to concentrate on a visible form. The wishes are fulfilled or not, the remedies work
or not but that reliance doesn't go in vain. The prayers give man the extra strength and man is able to cope up with the bad
time. That support keeps the hope alive and man cannot survive without that hope. Prayer makes his will power strong, increases
the concentration and gives him the mental strength to fight. To have the faith that HE is there to take care and HE
can solve my problems is what helps man to live through his tough life.
Fulfil your dreams....
"Pleasant memories are like the fragrance which
remains with us for the whole of our lives. Whether be it the proud moment of receiving an award in school or a special
evening with a friend, we love to remember those beautiful moments. We all love to remember our beautiful past. The
nature of human mind is to think, to think back and live in the past. But have you ever wondered why is there always a
sting hidden in those pleasant memories of the past? Somewhere there is always a pain which pricks us when we remember
the past. Actually, the urge to live the past again is the cause behind that pain. Why do we have that urge to live
the past again when we already have experienced the pleasure, have already once lived it? We all have some dreams. We
should always try our level best to fulfil those dreams, so that when we remember our past we know that we are living
our dream. The present moment is only an extension of our past and then no pain pricks us when we know that we havent lost anything.
Never kill your dreams for the reason which could be overcome or a problem which could be solved. You might console yourself
that you sacrificed your dreams for a cause but that disappointment, that guilt will never stop haunting you for the rest of
your life. Try your level best, but then what has to happen will. One of my friends tells me, "Stars decide our fate but
we have to help those stars to work positively for us'. How true he is. So lets not compromise but try to fulfil our
dreams which we are capable of turning into a reality. Lets live our beautiful life to the fullest and try to carve
it the way we want to. "

LOVE
We all think
we know what love is. It’s not that I claim to know what it means exactly. But what I have known a little about love
is so much for me. I was wandering in the forest of uncertainty, was running after a mirage in search of love, rather in the
fear of losing the love. But how can I lose love when I have it in myself? I am fearless now, I know that love is within me
and now the desperation has gone. I don’t want to reach any goal; I am just flowing with the flow. There is a pain and I am bathing in the pain and it is bliss. When I realized that my love is eternal and
love is to give, without expectations, I understood what love is. I haven’t loved to be loved, I haven’t loved
to get any appreciation or I haven’t loved to cry and yell but I have loved to just love and I am bathing in that wonderful
feeling each moment. Living in this materialistic world, I have this asset which I will have for ever; no one can take it
away from me. I will always treasure my love.
