Trail of existence

Looking at the window with the droplets of rain. Droplets move down consuming smaller ones to reach the bottom, leaving its trail of existence. We are like a droplet, we don't know where we are going and where we'll reach; collecting all the smaller droplets of knowledge and experiences. But, our trail of existence will always remain.

Nothingness- The need of the hour

Technology made me impatient. I'm always scrolling, I'm always checking my phone. In a fast-paced life, when people are trying to compete with one another, 'doing nothing' can be a really good thing. There is no time for us to do NOTHING. When there is, we are too impatient to lay low. Checking our phones every 2 mins, playing a game or two. Sitting idle with nothingness is extinct now. Extinction, like its counterpart, came fast. I didn't know what hit me, it was fast and exciting, but now it's just a habit which keeps on repeating every few minutes.  

Suffering own demons

            I have many demons inside me which makes me what I am (along with the angels). I thought I had control over my demons but this irresistible force comes to me when I am weak. Demons feed on our weaknesses and make us weaker. Waiting to be released, angels lying in a closed beaker. Demons have taken control over them now. Will there ever be a revelation? Complete annihilation of demons. Or will I be destroyed in this annihilation? The question no one can answer. All I can do is suffer my own demons and find a way to fight them. The struggle is long and hard but one who walks on the broken glasses can understand the true softness of sand. In reality, glass is created by the fire between the sands. Truth is always in front of us but we choose to look behind.

Mind vs Matter

Attachment good or bad? A question that has been troubling many religions. We all had experiences of attachment in our life. But mine is weird though, can't make sense of it. A little while back I was in a place away from everyone I knew, miles from my comfort. I hated every moment of it, every hour, use to count my days backward to when I 'll leave this place and get back with my daily schedule and with all my life's comfort and privileges.  But some part of me wanted to miss that place, didn't want to leave. The final day of exile as I would say; I was back communicating with strangers, thinking that the days are over and I'm done with this. The fact is, that I have completed my 12 days of staying away from my comfort,  but when I am leaving which I wanted to from day one, I am getting this homesick feeling that I'm going to miss this place. All the time I had there, with myself, just me and my mind, and no one else existed. I was lonely but calm. I wasn't comfortable but I was at peace. The mind was seeking peace which I got there; peace of almost nothingness. 

In his entire life span, a man can want many things - money, car, lavish home, and power but in the end, it's the peace of mind that they seek. Peace cannot be bought by money, found by power, or by helping needy. It can be attained by knowing the mind, body, nature, and time. Knowing self is always the first step and the last step. But from the day we are born we try to figure out the world and its aspects. Finding self is like finding god. God needs to be found and respected. So find yourself and respect it. The peace will be found or peace will find you.

Here I am back with all my family, friends, and acquaintances talking, trying to figure out my career and my future. But my present is worried, restless, once again needs to feel my mind. The mind who has been confusing me all my life. There is an answer in this confusion which I haven't figured out yet. But soon will, till then it's just an unanswered mind trying to communicate with me in all sorts of language which I don't understand yet.

Heal the world

                    It is always you against the world but in the end, the world always wins. We can stand against each other but when we stand against the world, we fall. When God created this world, he loved it more than his children. Whoever of his children stood against this world, fell and was deprived of his endless love. Who are we to stand against his creation, when his loved and obedient immortals failed? We can be with the world and bring in changes rather than being against it. We improve this world more by being with it than fighting against it.

Non-Living Person

              Calling a lift like its a real person. As if, it's going to answer you-' Yes! You called.' We personify so many things in life. Do we want it to be- people we meet daily? We develop a relationship with these non-living things. But what about our true relationship? Are they so privileged? We are busy developing relations with non-living products and brands that we forget the true essence of life. What makes us human? Our family, civilization, communication, and intelligence, this makes us human. But are we humans or are we dancers? Dancing to the tune of machines and technology; Are we evolving? We are isolating from humanity and trying to find harmony with our money.

Thoughts

1. "If life gives you one reason to cry it will give you 101 reasons to be happy."
2. "Is the end, where I begin."
3. "The question you need to ask yourself is - do you need money or life? The money will be there in both cases, but the risk is involved in the latter."
4. "I show only to hide."
5. "Self-righteous people are always wrong about themselves."
6. "Day never ends it starts fresh. So, we can start fresh every day no matter how good or bad the previous day was!"
7. "I am not a rebel by choice."
8. "I am soft-spoken but my words are loud."
9. "Its when your life is back on track you start caring about yourself."
10. "Battles are always fought well, but whoever wins is always remembered."
11. "Don't watch yourself while crying. You'll pity yourself. Don't ever pity yourself!"
12. "When we experience sadness and struggle, we associate it with the place."
13. "Do we need to die or be seriously sick to do good deeds? Does near-death experience make us a better person?"
14. "Don't take a conversation as an argument, start taking an argument as a conversation."
15. "When a person is alone he remembers everybody."
16. "Teenagers are species who aren't sure of what they'll do but affirmative about who they'll do."
17. "Truth is always in front but we choose to look behind."

Seasons of life

      At the moment my life is a symphony composed of three distinct phases: 'a lot of people', 'a few people', and 'almost no one'. Each of them lasts about four months of the year. Like the four season in a year.

      A lot of people- when I'm in touch with my colleagues, people I know and people I don't want to know. We talk about work, we talk about movies, we talk about politics, etc. But all we do is talk.

     A few people- when my friends are around. We hang out, we party, we recollect school days or college days and laugh out loud. We laugh at our stupid mistakes of past like it was just another thing that happened(which was a big deal back then). But time waits for no man or woman.

     Almost no one- when I'm alone not even I'm with myself. I have got friends but I need a solution. I'm lonely in my head, the heart brings courage through its veins hence we survive these stormy rains.

This is war

Fighting for power

Fighting for resources

Fighting for rights

This is war 

This is war

Battles can be won but the war always persists

Persistence can be resisted

But fight prevails instead

Given the situation

People living in a circle

Words thrown ahead

Hits you from behind

Like rage has its own mind

The whole world is made of glass

Once cracked it does not last

We call it the crack of doom

People need to stand up for peace

Cooling out the racist heat

Race against the evil 

Not with each other

Belonging to a colour or group doesn't really matter

Unseeing eyes

      In our entire life do we look at ourselves? We generally don't have time for that! Do we even look in the mirror to see closely the color of our eyes and feel what they are trying to tell us? We take a bath, dress up and comb our hair in front of the mirror but do we even look at ourselves? We are generally busy looking at others, what they're up to, and what they have been doing. But what about the horseshoe shoe-shaped letter "U"? We have omitted that letter from our alphabet since we were slapped by life.
     We are stuck in the traffic on the highway where we try to overtake others and try to reach the destination before them. But have you asked yourself what after that? There is a popular saying that the journey makes the destination worthwhile. But if we don't enjoy the journey, how can we be so sure that this destination is for us? Will we be happy to reach this destination? We can't swim in the air but who is stopping you from doing that? Doing that at least we can learn some acrobatics never performed or you may even learn to fly. Similarly, we can't fly in water but in an attempt to fly we can learn to swim. So the journey is what makes the destination worth even though you didn't expect the found result.

Fear

      Why do we try to intimidate everyone? Are we afraid of them or do we have some sort of threat from them? We do not have any threat from anyone morally other than ourselves. We are our biggest threat.

The art of photography

      Why do we see so many people trying their hand in photography? They say they want to see the world. I ask you, do you need a camera to see the world? Or do you want to show others what you really see? Clicking pictures uploading on Facebook, Twitter, blogs, and Flickr; getting likes, comments, and shares. A perfect wanna-be we all have become. Can nature's true beauty be captured in photographs or its just a dead weight in your album? I'll click my picture with a DSLR on my face that will make me a photographer. I'll just wander around with my camera on the streets, national parks, and mountain ranges trying to find my candid moments but do we actually see the beauty and cherish it? All we do is stick our copyright on it and share it with others wanting to be photographers. Do we smile while we experience the beautiful moment or we just waste it digging for our camera and clicking it?
      I'm not a critic, I'm just thinking.

Real dreams

      Have you ever felt this in your dreams that you are trying to run away from something but you are not able generate enough speed? You try to run faster but you just stall ahead. You feel its real until you wake up and realize that you can run fast.
     You forget this dream as another bad dream but have you ever spent a few minutes thinking about that dream. It's then you realize that you have been stalling in your real life.

Branding Life

    Life is a brand with many campaigns, some are successful some ain't. Successful campaigns are always cherished and spoken about. But do we learn from the unsuccessful campaigns, the most important of all? Don't we learn from our mistakes anymore? What about the present? Sometimes we get answers in our questions but we are too afraid of being unsuccessful again. In that fear, we stop living and become a well-calculated robot. We construct our lives on our successful campaigns.
    We need to stop branding our lives and start living. We sometimes say let's give our lives new meaning. Have we ever stopped for a moment and thought that does our present one have any? If we haven't then, what is the guarantee that the new one will have some? All we need to do is stop reading someone else's dictionary and start writing ours.

Godly hope

Success takes a vision,
what do you see?
Seeing is believing,
do you believe in me?

Been following someone else's vision,
trying to explore my own horizon.
Manway leads to a hopeless end.
God's way leads to an endless hope.
Trying to see god in what I do.
Hope crashes in me through the endless blue.

God is what you believe in
I believe in myself does that make me god?
I m not a god, not the best human.
but what I do is what I believe in
Give me faith, give me a new religion
Paces from godly war for region.

Making

Experience enriches life.
               Life enriches you.
You enrich people.
In your head, you live alone,
         Your heart is one that brings people along.
Open your heart let people in,
          Cramping for room
                 A famous little life is in the making!

Not Again

Choking up on words
The mind cannot be heard
Been screaming loud inside
Don't have no place to hide

Grab some stage
Snatch your freedom
Shout out to the world
Shout your mind out
Clear your head when in doubt

Growling in despair
And hope for me is beyond repair
Was locked up in my skull for 20 odd years
Revolution started burning in the 5-year-old
Was always tired of being told

Technically Speaking

In the quest for making life better
thinking technically, my head jitter
I have lived this life for six years now
With grave intend and glare
I survived majestically somehow

From working on a job to flirting with a bob
Falling in a relationship, getting knocked out
Technically speaking, life ain't technical no more
Roughly romancing, beaches & movies, roaming in the mall
Lunching & dining, pocket money did take the fall
Few thousand texts, few more cups of cappuccino, they want it all
Beg borrow steal the new mantra
because you always want something more

Writing your hand out, getting pals to write
Packs of cigarettes, bottles of liquor
What you wrote will be litter
With all that smoke and intoxication submission is done
Victor's remorse: The song has been sung

Studying daily won't catch the light
Watching closely with weaker sight
All so for three hours of adrenaline rush
Avoiding the massacre pass you must

Four years of salvation, life starved to death
Finding a job in thousands nest
With no technical knowledge & null practical application
A boy is lost in this country's education

Suit Yourself

               When you come to life, you are just a little person who is learning to drive the fleshy new suit. The first thing you actually learn is to see. You look at the friendly, amazed, and happy faces around, though knowing nothing that's happening. Crawling around your crib you stand tall. Tumbling your walk with your arms spread open; you accept everything that's given.

                Your bodysuit grows with the time, and time teaches you to run, but not sure of the direction. Running like crazy you reach your destination but not sure whether you were supposed to be here. By the time you realize your bodysuit gets old and starts deteriorating. You give up on running and start escalating to your future. In your life, few bodysuits come and go, leaving you with memories. Some bring change and some to blame. But its the journey that makes it lively and living as it is. There is a destination to every journey but without the journey, there won't be any destination, they will be just places. Similarly, without life, we will only be bodysuits.

Fly Away

I don't want to touch the sky
But for once I definitely would like to fly
Launch me off the ground
Spreading my wings out open
With limitless bound
Cruising through the wind
I'm not coming down

No matter how lovely is the nest
but birds still fly away
Taking the first flight up the skyway
Drifting through the winds round and round
Flying over the endless seas
can see no ground
Disconnected from worldly problems
Connected with myself
I want to glide on without any help
Dipping into life
Grabbing my dreams
Following my heart, tough it seems
People trying to speak sense in you
Changing your mind by forcing their views
Yet another fallen angel crashes to earth
Or shall I say another one bites the Dirt?
