In the search of right path
I stopped listening to my heart
And no wonder!
I felt falling into an endless tunnel
No light in sight
Only dark to fight
Loosing myself in this whirlwind
Frustrated with puzzling grind
Who am I?
Without my heart to comply
Everything drives me mad
What to do ,what not to do?
Neither any thought, nor any wisdom
Could satisfactorily reply.
To Turn down my heart's calling
For some high rated wisdom
And popular following
It's not my way
I tried and tested
Felt delusional and chaotic
So i reverted
To the old times i surrendered
Being myself
Is
Being in sync with my heart
The way it beats
To things it care
To whom it played always a host
And Ignoring every other noise
Has been proved wise
I think that's how I can find my way
Pleasant or painful,
Doesn't matter what it renders
To feel being with myself
The thing that matter the most
It must be For
or
From subject
To which my heart is home.

Reverting Back

Would I stand?
Like a fallen leaf
Unmindfuly
I floated with wind
Wherever it heads & swung
Yet! ironically I wasn’t among the fallen ones
Filled with undeterred strength and intact spirit
Left nothing but trail of regrets
For not standing my ground
And being blown away by incoming gust
Without taking note of its course and direction
Spent the whole ride in this frustration
Desparately!
Awaiting for the wind to get calm
To ground me once again
A chance to make that decision
And here as I am settling down now
With much lesser strength and vigour
Would I blow away with next incoming gust?
To maintain that superficial sense of moving
To keep Floating unmindfully with its swing
Or will I stand my ground?
And wait for the wave
The one!
Heading towards my desired course
I am watching myself
In this new endeavour,,,,

Sunset
A flock of birds 🕊️ 🕊️
Flying high in the sky,
Amber sky in the background
Where Sun 🌞 is about to say Bye 👋🏻,
Watching them from a cliff 🏔️
Sitting over high rising tides ⛵
And I summons my mind
To stay quiet
Just enjoy the moment!
Be here and don't think anything else!!

Haze of life
Through all broken pieces
All I can see
A face in many segments
Getting much closer to the bits and pieces
Lying everywhere
I can see same face in every segment
Through all these segments and faces
Which face is mine
Which surely can be called
Insignia of my life
With time passing
Fading vision through mirrors
It's getting hazy and lazy
With Mind getting dizzy
Thinking more seems so buzzing
Maybe It will even stop trying
And end up all the striving
And settle to remain in hiding

Insanity
In the war of weapons
To compete the world's impression
Spending millions
For fiery collection
Piling up
The Storehouses of destruction.
When it comes to the justice!
Is it being served for all of the human efforts
Being put for centuries for its upliftment
And here spending chunk of dollars
To destroy and destruct the holders
Jeopardizing it's own existence

Dissonance : Good or bad
How many times people feel that their actions represent their thoughts!! I hope if everyone thinks sincerely they will get alarming lower numbers, especially for things which are not usual occurances.
But that’s not food for thought to your mind here, which i want everyone to explore within themselves.
The main point is whenever such dissonance happens, how much tension it creates inside them. Is it Negligible😊 or Manageable 👍🏻 or Alarming which we continue suppress to our unconscious so that it won’t bother us!! 🥵🤫😔
There has been lot of studies on dissonance and the ways people take up to get rid of it.
1)Some people will simply change their attitude towards that thing so that it no more feel against their thoughts,
2) Some might endure trivilisation so that importance of it becomes minimum and thus it’s presence doesn’t bother much and,
3) Some or very few will change their actions to meet their thoughts.
Now one point to be noted here is , whatever we do we want to get rid of this tension due to disparity between our thoughts and actions. And making it more humane, isn’t it a direct attack on our thoughts, attitudes which is demanding a change???
I think absolutely, but it doesn’t mean that changing your behaviour or actions as per your attitude or thoughts is correct option always. So all 3 methods have their own applications in their right context.
1) Sometimes we need to change our thoughts or attitudes . For example people who believe in so much of superstitious or baseless traditions or life style process,, need to opt for a change in their attitude.
2) Sometimes when we need to quit some bad habits we need to change our actions.
3) And we need to go for trivialisation for matters which are just a common day to day hassle.
So is Dissonance good or bad? I think it’s good to have dissonance as it indicates some change is required for normalisation with present scenarios. But taking action to remove it is more important, as if we suppress it then it will loose its very purpose or meaning. And we, from inside will either become inhuman or will get filled with lot of anxiety issues or depression.
What you people think about it?

Dilemma and self!!!
In the aftermath of dopamine shot
Injected when immersed
In following nuisance urges,
It all ended with a dilemma everytime
Is Dopamine the culprit
Or such urges are blameworthy????

1 more year added to the list
When I was in 20's
I felt it would be great in 30s
And now when I suddenly felt I am 37
I understood there is no heaven
It's all what we think
About whatever happens
And how much we are able to accept!!!
-
When it matters, it happens
When it matters
It happens,,
Still frustration soars high
When I think it matters
And its not happening!!

Subjugated
A bird flying high
To sit at the top of the cloud
It has chosen from its nest
On a beautiful sunny day
With that one white patch in between,,
Engrossed in it's enthralling urge
Kept flying higher and higher
Till it's wing started giving up
To lift further
It's subjugated mass
While descending
It saw same cloud from above
Blocking it's sight to ground
But again
Couldn't find a spot to hold on,
Thinking for rest of it's journey
To same spot on ground
It's frustrated mind amazed with questions
When it crossed during ascent !!!
And why it couldn't fulfill its wish!!!
Now sitting on ground
With an Insightful mind
At peace
