IT IS ALL RIGHT!!!

My dear one!!
I like to see you working hard
Trying to be strong and tough
But I would like to add....
Even if you lose a battle
Never lose your heart!
We love you for who you are
Not for what you want to be...
Life may seem like an insufficient stuff
But dear...just love is enough!!
There is no need to know all
Sometimes it is OK to trip and fall
There is no need to be perfect
You have every right to make mistakes!!!

I was so naive, a few years ago
Trying to be perfect everywhere
Trying to balance every aspect of my life
Trying to achieve all my goals
Trying to be faultless and flawless
And always trying....trying...trying!!

Then one day, as I was on my way for morning walk
I clashed with a young man
And was about to fall...
In my hustle and annoyance....i murmured, "can't you see?"
He said plainly, "No.....can you see?"
I said bewildered, "Yes"
He said, "WOW.....you can SEE!!"
Wow ....you can see...these words kept echoing in my mind
Wow...I can see!!
I stood there a long time....after he was gone
As if I was in a trance....
I never thought WOW about my ability to see the world
I never cared about the gifts of life...I have
I HAVE ...a lot...I must say.....lots!
I never thought about what I had
I always concentrated on what I wanted to have!
Not any more...............!!!!!!!!!!
I am human and so I feel stressed
But deep inside..I know I am blessed!
There is peace in my soul because
I know my life has that WOW factor
And I know I am truly consecrated
And there is no need to know all
Sometimes it is OK to trip and fall!

So, just celebrate Life and its Gifts!
Celebrate the stumble.....not just the lifts!!

I CAN NEVER THANK YOU ENOUGH !!!!

I can never thank you enough For gracing my life with your presence Even though it was awfully brief...... It is just enough to Keep me alive and love my life! I can never thank you enough For giving me the privilege to gaze into your eyes I am still intoxicated by its magic From that instant, nothing in life seems tragic! I was completely besotted by your aura And smitten by your charisma. I love to breathe in this exquisite air Because it is the same atmosphere that you share! I can never thank you enough For giving me the memories Those are indebted by your divine presence I have framed them on my heart's wall And nothing dares to cross it all. So, my heart remains uninhabited Only your memoirs widespread I love to live that way Because I know no other way! I am mesmerized by the moon coz it seems to be Lightened up by your reflection I am fond of the nature Coz it carries your favourite colour I just adore the wonderful clouds Coz some of the lucky ones will fall down As raindr...

Coffee...........

Image
As I am sipping on a hot cup of coffee,trying to relax and enjoy its aroma, a strange thought dominates my senses. The thought of my friend’s Ex who gifted this tall bottle of coffee to her. She is not much of a coffee drinker , so she gave it to me and I accepted it willingly. I never thought this bottle carried more flavor than just that of coffee beans. The memories just keep splashing on me with every sip I take and there is no way to escape. I must admit that I did not even try to brush those memories away. In fact, I relished its taste and odor more because of the fact that every drop was pregnant with sweet remembrances. The thought from one ex moves towards all the other exes in me and my close friends’ lives, Its because I have a microscopic view of only these lives; so I can’t blame myself for intertwining our lives in my thoughts every now and then.  Anyway, strangely, as bitter as the break-ups might have been in those days, its absolutely a sweet memory now. We al...

Fathers Are Wonderful People

Whenever I look closely, I find that almost all the problems in our relationships are offspring of misunderstandings. And we feel loved only when we are understood. Whenever we feel sad, we say, “no one understands me”. Understanding is that important. But Today My thoughts are drifting towards the most misunderstood species on earth.  The Fathers. Yes, the fathers are wonderful people but we never really get to understand them. We know that they love us and we love them but they are not our favourite like mothers. Why? One of the reasons is that fathers’ job is invisible. Like they go to work somewhere but we never see what they go through there to survive. We see our mothers clean, cook, concerned and troubled and so they become our hero. It is said that there is double pleasure in loving than in being loved and in that way our mothers have all the pleasure. They love their family, house, and everything in between. It shows in their nature. While our fathers live in ...
