As this journey nears to its end
I just feel an urge to reflect
Years passed since its advent
Impressions of experiences
Overwhelm me now and then
A gaze so often
Take me back strongly to gone times
Sailing through ebbs and flows
Recurrent high tides
Somehow spiked adrenaline so high
After effects or transformation
Somehow it grew into a habit
Well it might be closing down
But that's how a new journey begins
And till the time life is on
Life shouldn't stop spinning,,,

Those unknown dimensions
In this intoxication of setting myself free
I am lost somehwere in an unknown domension
Being here
Its calm all around, everywhere
And it becomes chaotic
As i turn myself to investigate
Where i am!!!
What a state to be in!!!

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,,,,

Nature’s imbalance: Takes a toll to balance
Suddenly ocean held by clouds
Weighted too heavy to hold
And it lighten itself
Shedding with heavy downpour
A simple move by nature
To perfect its balance
Proved much devastating
For life under its effect
-
Submergence
Playing trickster
Up and down
Clouds above
Drenched pavements
Yet ready for another down burst
Sitting alone
With Plugged in buds
A black coffee mug
Still simmering
Evaporating its musk
All of this
With some old time tunes
Amid Floating attention
From Highlights
To forecasts
And momentary stay
In present overcast
Yet kind of Submergence
-
Craving high or low
In those craving moments
Overtly, yet invisible mind stalking
Imagination become so fluent and appealing
Overwhelms every prick of conscious dealings
And then as we touch the zenith of aspirations
With it's fulfillment in extravagant imagination
Sudden onset of a phase of free fall begins
And imagination starts dimming
With yearnings too fading
Instill a temporary relief from such cravings
Till next time
When It will again take over
Attention of every neuron
Of desirous wandering brain,,,,

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

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?

Introspection – The powerful Habit
Introspection: I call it powerful not only because of its offerings of knowledge about self, but it takes real strength and wisdom to introspect oneself. Most of us are indulged in understanding world , knowing people and then making own perceptions about world and people. But important point to understand here is, what is the basis of that perception we are making up, on what parameters we say something as right or wrong, ugly or beautiful!!! That’s the real question! The answer of which, we should be looking for. What if our own perceptions have unthoughtful basis which we have just adopted as they are generally practiced,, what if we have never tried to even know what we really think about our practiced ways!
Just think!!! Isn’t it a sign of weakness where we don’t try to understand ourselves? OR if we know that our thinking is little different from usual practices , so we chose to ignore it to avoid any criticism for us, OR if we know we are doing something wrong but as nobody noticed it or its not considered wrong usually so we just ignore that inner calling.
Well whether we think our thinking is best or worst without even knowing it, i feel we can be better at appreciating the world if we know, what is the basis our perception !!!
I feel introspection takes courage and then to act upon it take even more of it,,,
What you guys think??

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!!!
What lies beneath our thoughts!
