Silent Wishes

During your lifetime you meet millions of people: Some become your friends, some become acquaintance, some without any reason hate you, some without any reason envy you, some say cruel words to you without any good reason, some being stranger help you, some you see everyday but are still stranger to you, some are your well-wishers, some are your relatives, some are your colleagues and then there are some people who come into your life for a while and touch your life in such a way that before you turn back to thank them, they vanish into thin air. I know there will be a person in everybody’s life who would come for a while and would change your life significantly. I was living my life as it came to me. My aim of life was to be invisible, to get lost in the crowd. And then he came and made me stand in the limelight. I had not asked for it but he made me do it. First, I trembled to face the limelight but then he came and stood beside me which gave me a strange kind of confidence. I was ...

An Attempt to Save

It is said that “When the sins rise on the face of this Earth, God showers His anger through His ways” And considering this statement true, I believe the stacks of sins are overflowing. Or else what would you tell to the floods in Pakistan or the earthquake in Haiti or the climate change? By way the things are going on, it wouldn’t be far that our earth would be destroyed making it difficult for the human beings to stay on it further anymore. They have already started predicting the year when the earth would be destroyed and we all will be dead. If we don’t do anything now, we would surely die along with our mother earth. God had sent us here to protect and nurture earth but it happened the other way round. Mother earth helped us to meet our basic needs. She gave us the things we needed to survive while we took her for granted. I could feel her tolerance coming to exhaust. She has bear so much that no human being could ever bear. And now she is giving up. It’s high time that we...

My Ideal Day

Gentle warm rays enter through my balcony and caress my face. A sweet smile spreads across my face feeling the warmth of the sun. I am still on my soft comfy circular bed and my eyes are still closed but I was happy to know that the sun itself has come to wake me up. I roll over and before opening my eyes, I stretched myself. I slowly shift the sky blue colored quilt from me. My bed sheet is of cloud white color. It was like I was sleeping on cloud and covering myself with the sky. I woke up and before getting down from bed, I saw this pink squirrel shaped floaters. I slid my feet into the soft furry floaters. I got up and went towards the balcony. The balcony is huge comprising of glass doors and the circumference that has steel rod fencing. The balcony also has a basket swing at one end and a white colored tripod and a white chair at the other end. I went to the balcony fence and hold it with both hands. In front of my eyes, there is a view of lifetime. There is greenery everywhere...

Things I miss from my college days:

1) My third last bench.... (I believed that the first and the last bench was the most dangerous place.) 2) Maths Tutorials.... (It was fun!) 3) The computer labs.... (We used sit there until sum1 doesnt used to throw us out! :p) 4) All teachers....(They were exceptionally friendly and angels by heart) 5) Everyone from my batch... (Right from the first benchers to the last) 6) The Study Tours... (It was more of a picnic and less of a study tour :)) 7) Making cool presentations.... (Best part was sit till late in college and create it) 8) The carefree nature and bindass attitude of all girls... (We didnt use to care to shout and tell "I am going to the loo" :p) 9) All the free lectures... (they were like the cool breeze on a hot day) 10) All the extra lectures... (From those days we learn how to sleep while keeping our eyes open) 11) The lobby where we used to wait for the lift... (It was more difficult to get into the lift than getting into a crowded local train. The best part...

Inspiration

I had written this poem when I was in high school :) When I was left alone to face problems, the stars came up and showed me the way, the trees protected me by giving me its shade, the rain came and washed away my tears, then came the sun and helped me in overcoming my fears, the birds flew high that gave me the inspiration to touch the sky, the rainbow was created that filled my heart with joy, then I realized that I was not alone, but on me were God's blessings shone!

WEIRD RIGHT TURN

I was walking down the street, looking for a gift shop to buy something special for my mom’s birthday. It was a busy street with people moving to and fro. I had already checked out some gift shops but could not find anything special for my mom. I continued searching for other gift shops, with a black leather purse on my shoulder and a cute white dress on me with a silk red ribbon tied around my waist and matching white shoes, when I came across a turn. A right turn. I took the right turn which made my life go upside down. I was flabbergasted with what I saw. I saw a golden brown Pomeranian dog walking on two legs like a human being with blue half sleeves shirt and yellow shorts. He waved at me and greeted me good morning. I couldn’t help but turned around to have a look at him carefully. I pinched myself and it hurt which meant that I wasn’t dreaming. I saw the world around me is more colorful than it used to be. The sky has more blue than usual. The footpath has more orange than usual...

What you really love?

Children are expected to know what they want to become before they reach their 10th standard. In fact, the children who don’t know what they want to become when they grow up are looked down upon (I swear!). To be honest, even I didn’t know what really was out there when I was in school. I really didn’t care what I wanted to become. But when people started asking me “what do you want to become when you grow up?” the word that came out of my mouth was Doctor. I didn’t know there were these 3 words which I could use and that is “I don’t know”. I had to have answer to all the questions asked in school or outside the school. There was no option like “I don’t know”. But as the time went by I realized I myself was paranoid with injections and I had no interest to dissect a frog let alone dissecting a guy. So, I dropped the idea of becoming a doctor. Then the next thought that came into my mind was to be an engineer, a software engineer. And the only logical reasoning I found to that was I ass...

Money Honey!

Have you ever done anything without expecting anything in return? If yes, then I should say that you are blessed! There are not many people who do something without expecting anything in return. Money has become the prime source of making people avoid generosity. There are very few generous people left in this world. If somebody does not pay you money for your work, that work is considered as a waste of time. I am sure whoever has done some work for free for somebody else; they would have experienced a strange kind of satisfaction and happiness. I am not saying that people should stop going on job or stop asking salary for that. Nope, not at all! Believe me, I am not Mother Teresa. Though I wish I could be like her. The heart she had was amazing. People don’t love their family, relatives let alone the strangers. Mother Teresa didn’t just give love to the strangers but accepted them as they were. Anyways, I wouldn’t do my job if they did not give me money. I am just saying that fe...

Truth Behind Lies

Is honesty really the best policy? I don’t think so. And it is certainly not true if the truth is bitter. There are some truths which are better hidden than revealed. There are certain truths which are better kept in mind than saying it aloud. Your life is what you make it. And if you want it to be beautiful and filled with positivity you need to keep out the negativity. Keeping out the negativity does not mean ignoring it. You can’t ignore the dark part of life. Keeping out the negativity means acknowledging the dark part and keeping it inside you. I don’t know why but somehow I think saying the bitter truth aloud makes it look more real. It is not that I am running away, it’s just that I am downplaying it. The dark part is to be dealt with all by myself I don’t think saying it aloud will help me in anyway. Why should I give something to someone that is not theirs? When you reply ‘I am great’ to ‘how are you?’ it makes you look good and makes you somehow feel good even if you are not ...
