Mumbai Blasts

These are the trying times, times when life makes no sense to some while becomes all the more precious to the others..

Bereavement has no religion, no nationality and no borders. Pain speaks only one language.. I know words become useless to those who mourn, but i just wish peace and courage to all those who have suffered a loss..Even though life today seems bleak and tough to carry on, it will hold you all...

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

I am not there.

I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.

I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awake in the morning's hush,

I am the soft uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.

I am the soft star that shines at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there.

I did not die...

(have peace)

LIVE !

Navigating my way through life, evolving, discovering and rediscovering things I usually breathe content but for those brief spells of melancholy which tend to engulf my whole being…just like anybody else. I don’t want to sound cavalier by saying that I m okay with my solitude though I live it thoroughly, because I am not a frivolous person and don’t take on something of such significance lightly…
But, hopefully there is good in every situation. Sounds simplistic, but I still have the good things that have always been in my whole life…my family.
I have had an eventful life so far…have loved and lost…but I like to think that I was the chosen one to bear what all I bore; developing the traits I never knew I possessed. Having experienced the pinnacles of joy and also dungeons of despair I have emerged into quite a different person. Not everything works out the way we might hope and I am not the first person to fall... My family, music, books but most of all my work has gotten me through hard times. If things are not good, then we go to work and then its all encompassing. ..
A friend told me once that broken hearts are fallen angels. So, just like happy people spread their smile where ever they go, people who have grieved, have known the pain of loss tend to be empathetic and it’s a hopeful sign on our spiritual journey. We need to remember that every other soul whom we meet has suffered or is suffering in some way or the other. That way, we can try to be compassionate and reason out why they behave the way they happen to do. All grieves are personal…why would mine be any greater or lesser than somebody else’s. People hurt, people heal, people move on and people live…
It may be not be in our power to control our destiny but, I firmly believe that our thought processes have the power to shape it... Aren’t we, what our thoughts make us to be? Everybody has got to find the solution all on his/her own...and for that I am afraid there are no shortcuts; you have to live your life. On this journey called life, as I explore the true inner self of my being, the more I pursue... the more I achieve. And I must say I enjoy the game…as long as future holds hope!

to my twin soul

I've crossed world of terrains

watched ever changing clouds

savoured the sight of myriad colors of rainbow,

felt the strength of mountains passing by,

been through intriguing presence of vital winds,

tasted flippant spices of creator's recipes,

yet I am hungry for something

I've never realized.

Is that you?

If not, why do i miss you so much?

When its dark...

it may be the clouds, shrouding the crescent of the moon

unable to pour out the lumin

When I smile...

it may not be happiness...just the inverse

for, like the shrouds enveloping the moon

my smile shrouds my wounds

a shield- i hold so dear, for should it slip perchance...

my tumultous grief shall be washed ashore

to be stared curiously by all,

and bring derisive joy in some.

In this world of lies, deceit has always worked wonders

may be I am still learning...

to survive

So, as you go chasing your share of skies

I'll don my charade of glittering smiles,

and will try to befriend the piece of Earth beneath my feet.

They say Time heals

and I wander in space...waiting for time to find me

They say memories fade, life goes on

They must be right

may be I am still learning ...

still achieving

still pursuing

may be i am still learning...

till I am breathing...

see, I am breathing...

till a better memory comes along

See the tears on my face I've cried every day
I've lived without you and held you only in my mind
See these hands how they shake... how long will it take
Before I leave you in the past where you belong...
One day I might forget but right now I'm not that strong
So I'll hold on till a better memory comes along...
If someone could really touch me the way you used to do
If he could find one single feeling that didn't start with me and you
Maybe then I might forget but right now I'm not that strong
So I'll hold on till a better mem'ry comes along...
I'm holding on till a better mem'ry comes along...

As I've Matured...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they panic and give in...

I've learned that one good turn gets most of the blankets...

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people are just jack asses...

I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed...

I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to others - they are more screwed up than you think...

I've learned that depression is merely anger without enthusiasm...

I've learned that it is not what you wear, it is how you wear...

I've learned that you can keep vomiting long after you think you're finished...

I've learned to not sweat the petty things, and not pet the sweaty things...

I've learned age is a very high price to pay for maturity...

I 've learned that I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy it...

I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, unless we are celebrities...

I've learned that artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity...

I've learned that 99% of the time when something isn't working in your life, it may be your mind...

I've learned that there is a fine line between genius and insanity...

I've learned that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon and all the less important ones just never go away...

still learning...
