That moment when I sit and wonder, Where am I headed? I struggle to come to a conclusion, I cry and whine at my inability To see the strength in me, All I can see is the pile of defeat The unsuccessful attempts The mismanaged life cycle The surmounting debts. That moment when I sit and contemplate How I should focus on the present And forget the future But, Alas! The future has Caught me in its web Entangled, and without a sign of freeing, I struggle to pull out of the web The intensity with which the web has woven itself around me makes me shudder. That moment when I sit and decide It's time to call it the end of the road No, there hasn't been a speck of Light at the end of this dark road I tried, I struggled, I fought, I caught But I failed, Failed quite miserably. I fear, I fear the society, I fear the people I love, I fear my own self, I guess it is THAT MOMENT When I should quit...

All things haywire Not a single outcome Striving and selecting Choosing from the good or the bad. Life is following a rugged path Treading carefully Where to go Following a step at a time She reaches her destination Destination defined... Like what you read here?

At the threshold of something ominous holding on to the naive dig deep down you'll find the true meaning of life... It isn't your life  that is at the crossroad It is your mind   that refuses to de-clutter thoughts that have formed a cobweb of dreams... Dreams that remain  unfulfilled.. Dreams that remain in the nook of heart.. Dreams that remain like cracks in the glass ready to break into pieces never to be found again... No they aren't lost They are just scattered here and there, everywhere, Dreams that remain omnipresent yet so far... As you dig deep down searching for your dreams clearing away the cobwebs You are at crossroads yet again with neither here nor there to go... Like what you read here?

A long day is coming to an end, Consumed by the chores I look for the missing element, Facades of black, grey and white hound the four corners, I look for an escape from the madness around. As I step out to soak in the fresh air, I absorb the lush green leaves of the Banyan, try to construe the Cuckoo's calling, I look for the missing element, Facades of concrete, honking cars hound the surroundings, I look for an escape from the hullabaloo. Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Oh! It was a dream, I look for the missing element, A toothless smile appears I could see it from the corner of my eyes A smile that eased the pain within, A smile that erased the facades of dream, A smile that turned me a new leaf.

Source Pitter Patter! Pitter Patter!  Rain plays a rhythmic sound.. I soak in the fragrance of wet earth.. A drop on my cheeks, comes trickling down to my lips.. A drop on the leaves of that plant.. comes trickling down to my palms.. As I try holding on to the droplets, They merge with the lines on my palm.. Playing " Catch me if you can"  I struggle to close the palms, to not let the droplets fall.. Caught in the web of struggle, I fumble, I tumble, but in vain, One last effort in 'catching' the droplet I make use of a tiny tumbler, This time the droplet gives way and trickles from the tip of my fingers to the bottom of the tumbler.. That droplet taught me a lesson divine, Light is there at the end of every tunnel, Dark clouds always part their way for the rising sun, Setting sun always makes way for the milky moon, The twinkling stars shine on a dark and sultry night, Failure paves the way for pinnacle of succ...

Source I have the power in me, in my mind, in my body, in my soul... Power to look within, to feel happiness, to forgo hatred... I have the power in me, to make this world a better abode to be in... To turn the tide against the mighty mean world... To shift the balance towards an innocuous world... I have the power in me, to think exceptional... To change the sight, smell and sound in and around... My thoughts are my words, my being.. They are my clout, an addition to my firm self.. I strive to perceive, only the best... Abandoning the adverse, absorbing the rest... I look towards the lightening and thunder in the sky... The raindrops pierce through the dark sky... Bringing a sense of joy and new found energy... My thoughts hang in that moment... Forgoing all things said and done... I realize the power was always in me... The need was to soak in with the power in me...

 There are 'people' everywhere around  Some generous, Some miserly Some extrovert, Some introvert,  But they are everywhere around,  from where you stand. Then, there are people who do good, They will do anything to make you smile, They will fetch you brownies from your favorite patisserie, They will send you flowers from far across, They will shower you with gifts that you love, They will be by your side through thick and thin, They will be on their toes to help you win. Then, there are people who would 'act' to do good, Donning the hat of being most effervescent, They will make you feel that you are better than the rest, Behind your back,  They will hatch every conspiracy at their best, They will laugh with you at others, Behind your back,  They will make your life worse than others, Cheery, Smiling, Cracking jokes, Going out for smoke, They would do it all, like you are partners in crime,  Behind you...
