When there was raging fire,
You poured water ,
Now you wanna set fire to rain,,,,
It’s haunting me miserably now,
I shouldn’t have ignored your voices for even a moment,,,,
Oh heart!!

I used to think
I have matured,
I have much broad mindset,
I have much depth in my thoughts,
I have much more tolerance for world,
I have the unconditional acceptance for all the differences,
I have attained much higher level of understanding,,
But as I am growing I often feel,
I have just begun,
When I read what people experienced,
When I feel their level of understanding,
When I realise their level of maturity,
When I understand depth of their thoughts,
When I hear acceptance in their voices,
I often ask this question to myself,
Was it just my illusion or arrogance ?
Because all I can say is,
I feel just like a naive ,,,,

If rains were not existing,
Nobody would have heard of oceans,
If pain and setback had not been enduring,
No body would have scaled the Everest,,,,
Friendship isn’t a relationship but beyond it,
Friendship isn’t mere a bond but beyond it,
Friendship isn’t mere good acquaintance but beyond it,
Friendship isn’t purpose based but beyond it,
Friendship isn’t mere a match but beyond it,
Friendship isn’t among equals or similars but beyond it,
Friendship doesn’t have boundaries,
But it encompasses , it stretches as much as it takes,
Friendship isn’t mere a commitment but it’s beyond the trade of give and take ,
Friendship is natural, doesn’t form for specific purpose,
But yet it stands taller and stronger by your side when it matters the most,
Friendship is an essence of all relations,
It’s a spiritual bond beyond bloodlines,
Wishing you all having such a bond lifetime with you,,

And when he looked back ,
There was no one who made the noise,,,

With those running black covers,
Tussling with its brighter versions,
Took away the blues from sky,
Started with Hiding the caps of mountains,
Drifting down swifty to engulf whole of ranges,
Soon it will start pouring,
Filling the voids on land and springs,
Rivulets might turn into rivers,
Taking over much of coastal spaces,
Rivers might touch those danger marks,
Frightening fears creating havoc in minds,
I wonder,
How a thing which is paramount for life to thrive,
Can also endanger it at other times,,,

What you project, should be your own stand,
What you accept, should be what you expect with your standards,
What you criticize, should be unacceptable to yourself,
What you speak, should be your own mind,
In our interaction, conversations and actions ,, don’t be multi faceted,
Get recognised with who you are,
That way only world will know your true self,
And by keep changing your faces as per convenience to be regarded as better on those temporary settings,
You will find yourself standing no where, when you thrive to look into mirror to get the answer of who you are,,,

Life follows its own course and navigation,
Stil,l too often we put ourselves at the helm of situation,
Aspiring to be piloting it’s journey,
So often we encounter it’s power of attorney,
Taking over the control and authority,
Turning it into another frustrating story,
Sooner or later it throws the enlightenment,
Telling our position as passengers since it’s advent,
Turning us merely into spectators,
Life itself, is one of the best tutors,

The journey of life in simple rhymes,
Filled with curved lines,
Uphills to make it daunting,
Downhills to make it more challenging,
With no clarity of what’s coming next,
It’s pushing us to another test after test,
In quest of straight line,
Proposing and planning it to our kind,
Even Make it more frustrating,
To face those different occurings,
We plan ,
We propose,
We wish it to follow similar course,
But life has its own way to happen,
It smiles and keep us at loggerheads,
To what we think how it should be,
And to how it happen in reality,
In the end ,
Life is life,
Neither it happens as per our propositions,
Nor it respect our plannings,
So get set and be ready,
To Dance to its tunes,
And sing along its melody,,
