Heads up! You are falling free. Heads down, you are advancing ahead! It is all in the perception of the free space.

Unconditional Love and care
You cant feel low when I am there.
No matter what comes to you,
May be a call from the supreme above,
I shall not leave you dear.
I shall come in the way only to defend you.
You may be vexed up and take your eyes off.
No matter how hard you try.
I shall not let you slip into bad times.
I always strive to make your every dream come true.
You may stamp me hard but I am happy if you progress to your dreams redefined.
But if I seem bad,
Understand there is no better choice.

Explaining my Work.
The wavy structures at the bottom indicate an ocean. I know the ocean is blue but here I want to illustrate that knowledge is like an ocean. There are different fields to explore (like astronomy, medicine, home sciences, arts ……) yet each of them is an ocean no less. I symbolize this by different colors.
No matter how much we try to learn, its just a drop that is known and an ocean unknown. I indicate the drop above the ocean. Don’t worry the drop is magnified to an egg size. I used black as the drop’s thick outline indicating ignorance. Ignorance is due to lack of knowledge. In that ignorance when a question sparks up, and you start to ponder, that is when you try to find the answer. The pondering is shown in the face made of question marks. Each question can be divided into smaller questions too (subtopics of a concept) is what is indicated by using so many question marks to form a face. When you start thinking, your try to throw light to look for an answers. If you don’t find your answer one way you may try it in a different way. This is indicated by the kindaa light sources on the outer side of the drop. Multiple light sources indicate lateral thinking. From different viewpoints, you may find different answers that lie vast spread. Indicating that there can be more than one way to explain anything and still each is valid in its own way. So a situation can have multiple solutions. If you have a solution doesn’t mean another cant be better than you. They may come up with another solution that is equally good or better too.
The more you try to question and find answers, the more you throw light to know the answers, you become an achiever and may reach heights that the world appreciates you. This is indicated by the medal, certificate (not much visible in the picture though) and the crown.
Beauty!!
Frustration is the force you see.
Height is my dream that was once in my reach too.
But now you stand firm at the height of my dream and watch
My heart continuously fall from that height now …..
Volume is the abundance of pain in me.
I roar my cry too.
People throng to see and leave.Some feast their eyes.
For some it touches their heart.
For some it scares.
But everyone can keep distance and still see.
No one can dare come close or stop the roar and cry.
No matter you see or not, calmness is never there.
Alone or in your presence, the cry and roar is the same.
Situations make a difference to my cry but not stop just as
Harsh seasons add jitter and glitter, make a difference but not stop.
Nothing normal can stop, Niagara the great!
In climates safe, from a distance safe.
Come to see the cry, once in a while.
The cry shall see you there. You can feast.
For its something it cant do, and you can do to show it how it is.
Leave it not like a monarch beast.
For No one can stop, Niagara the great!
Tough!!!
Ripped my respect.
Fainting is my faith.
Sunshine is faint somewhere light years away.
Smile separated from me.
Cry creeping into every centimeter of me.
Sold to situations are my sentiments.
My graduation grades haste to fade.
They don’t help me fetch food anymore.
My career carelessly cornered.
Are my prayers piercing back to me?
All I see is shoulders that shrug and not a shoulder to cry on.
You left blanks that are like ever hungry beasts and I have no explanations to feed and fill them.
You left venom and are not even ready to even spell the antidote if not give.
You left me not a single soul to hold on.
You hat my fate with hate. In the shade of hate I am now.
You murdered members close to me.
You made my mundane activities become distant dreams.
I crave for words I understand, as I see swords.
I wish SWords can be split up as Somany Words.
But no, that’s not right.

Like, when you say “may be I am not right one.… Deserve something better”
Self confidence is when you think
You can do it.
Like, when you say “I am the one to be”.
Over confidence is when you think
No one can do it better than me.
Like, when you say “who else can do it better?”
Do you still think you fall under one of them and not all?
Here is an example.
When it comes to your life partner.
You may think they deserve someone better than you when they are disappointed with you and know its your mistake. “Lack of confidence in yourself”
You may think you are the right one of them and can do anything for them. “self confident”
You may think who else can they think of? Other than you. “Over confidence”.
They pinch. But are facts!

Where is the hope?
The light is not willing to come in.
Is your game paused? Is silence what you choose?
Is it a pause or a halt?
Is the rain making no difference to you,
As your eyes are already raining heavily?
The waves are rushing too fast,
Though the rivers are exhausted.
Friendship turned bitter and is working like the worst curse.
It’s not a dream. But reality of life.

.... worse depression ....
Like the shadow that follows me everywhere.
Why cant I atleast know the reason behind all this.
The unexpressed silent fears are like thunder bolts.
Each of my breath is like a tsunami that I wish not to have.
I see nothing but darkness all around.
All the directions, paths I can take are converging to zero.
You were with me when I walked over fires.
The bond turned into ashes setting me ablaze but still not kill.
The worries I have will never subside now.
I continue to live, lacking trust and sensing threat
I don’t know if I can at least believe,
In my breath and the earth I walk on to be what I see them to be.
The missing bits of the past are haunting me.
Like the shadow that follows me everywhere.
Why? when? Where? What? Are all the unanswered questions …
They drag my existence to the death.
Fear in me is fueled by each of my thoughts and nightmares.
I don’t know if I can at least believe,
In my breath and the earth I walk on to be what I see them to be.
The missing bits of the past are haunting me.
Like the shadow that follows me everywhere.

Crazy Colors of World!
I agree! The world is a colorful place.
It is a fun place to be in. it is crazy too.
Once you start living you get addicted to it.
Walk alone in this world.
Restrict your dreams just for yourself.
You will have your share of land and sky.
I fly in the sky of this world.
And agree the world is blue than the sky we see.
We crazy guys looked for all the treasures the world has.
But we can take only so much as we can give back.
Don’t wear a golden mask on your attitude.
The world already looks a beautiful place to be in.
Two hearts get together to see the most beautiful dreams of love.
When the heavens decide the destiny, why is it that you worry?
When you have the person who wants you
You find the world to be at your feet.
Keep away from the color of love.
To feel it is great.
Just don’t measure how much of it you get on your plate.
For it is nothing more than a fest of four days.
And then you agree the world is a crazy unsolved riddle.
I have seen all the colors of the world.
I agree! The world is a colorful!
I agree! The world is a crazy!
I agree! The world is blue than the sky we see!
I agree! The world seems fun to all.
I agree! The world seems beautiful to all.
I agree! The world is just for you.
I agree! The world is a crazy unsolved riddle.

The sprit of winning!
If you flag the winning confidence, who can ever stop you?
When your heart beats with courage and rhythms with confidence,
Drop all the fears you have and step ahead.
You don’t need the wish lamp of Aladdin.
All you need is your dedication and determination.
You can see the goal right in front of you.
The desire to win in you shall touch the clouds.
Play the Game! Don’t just stand and see.
You have to win in the game of life. Play it!
If you wish to play, life becomes a game you win.
If not, each and every day seems a burden you live.
Know in advance the depth you are about to dive into.
Swimming for long in deep waters is not easy.
Be clever to mend your ways as you walk along.
If you are tactful, riding a tiger can also become a routine for you.
If you are bold and brave, even a battle field looks a playground.
Victory shall bow to you and walk along with you.
You don’t need the wonder lamp of Aladdin.
All you need is your dedication and determination.
Play the Game! Don’t just stand and see.
You have to win in the game of life. Play it!
Be friendly to win love.
The most head strong people shall also like to join you.
Be stubborn when you fight against the bad.
Even a mighty warrior is fater all a human like us.
The journey to success always starts from a normal man.
Successful people are not dropped from heavens above onto earth.
The to-be big-shots are among us now.
Once they shine, they stand a role model for others.
Play the Game! Don’t just stand and see.
You have to win in the game of life. Play it!
If you wish to play, life becomes a game you win.
If not, each and every day seems a burden you live.
Collapse!
I never told you this.
No one would know this ever.
Can my heart take it all for a lifetime?
I don’t find the shores I am looking for.
It’s collapsing the ways I live.
Is it just the ashes of the burnt past that I own?
The time is smiling bitter at me as my heart sinks.
The truth is like my shadow.
I never told you this.
No one would know this ever.
Can my heart take it all for a lifetime?
The silence cant tell out what I wish.
You cant read the language my eyes speak.
Though you are in my thoughts always,
I can never meet you even if you move right in front of my eyes.
I know the blunder that is happening
But you don’t question it.
My faith in you has made my dreams rain till dead.
Enjoy the pain,
Enjoy the work,
Enjoy the struggle,
Enjoy the silence,
Enjoy the party,
Enjoy every minute to make your life a celebration.

Stay tuned to know the rest as I still need to figure out a way of getting the hero and heroine together. As of now concentrating on sketchig the character of "Amy" the heroine of my story.
Please comment and suggest as you read to make it a better story.

Emotions are Ancient!!
Everyone since then have been experiencing it.
This is realized only when you are aggressive and frustrated.
The stem on which this flower is to bloom has long before been written in its destiny.
It is also written long before in destiny, who gets whose love at which moment.
The time we make relations, we feel love is in our beauty and brains.
Smiles play a magic that turns heads and make us feel things are under control.
For the Young and energetic,
Dreams seem heavens reachable.
And tickle them with the feel of achievement in near future.
Cloud may rain as drops to take the form of a sprouting green.
Some tunes may touch a heart that comes as a song.
Wish I could stop the time to give some to my dreams
The incredible time that I wish to be in, where my dreams seem true.
The day the destiny drives in a direction different from your dreams,
The flood of feelings, wash the sand beneath your feet.
Your thoughts are just a life jacket that you may use.
Your body reflexes react to time and soon you see,
You are safe and sound in a location your destiny lands.
Such happenings are called experiences where
Emotions are as ancient as the sky.
Everyone since then have been experiencing it.
This is realized only when you are aggressive and frustrated.

Walking to Success
Is it a trick my heart is playing on me?
I feel so footloose and energetic.
I feel like being mischievous.
I don’t know the direction I am heading.
Is there someone singing for me?
Did the birds say there is someone waiting for me there?
Are the treasures walking in search of me?
No matter where you are, no matter where you hide,
I shall make my way to you “SUCCESS”.
Monday, October 11, 2010
What are you to me?
I don’t know what you are to me.
You were in every minute of my life.
I don’t know what happened or what is happening.
My breath is going fast as my eyes dampen.
It was just friendship I knew and there was nothing else.
But why do I feel a pain and why does my heart ache now.
How didn’t I ever know, how did I ever miss to know that this is love
That you and me missed to realize.
My day used to start with a conversation with you.
It continued to end with a conversation with you.
My dreams and thoughts were all lost in our conversations.
Was it in you and your thoughts that I lived?
What do I have to do without you?
... Desire and Deserve ...
Though the forests don’t go to the spring.
Each tide that rises, fails to reach the sky,
But don’t the clouds melt to reach the tides below?
Is the moonlight just for the privileged?
Doesn’t it shine the same in forests too?
Isn’t the pleasant breeze same for everyone?
Isn’t the sunshine the same for everyone?
Aren’t the fresh sounds in the nature every morning for everyone to refresh?
Is this not enough to spread the message that nothing can actually be owned by only one?
When the feel of sharing seizes, the world shall be nothing.
This is the fact of evolution though the direction is unpredictable.
Is there any emotional tune that is not felt in life?
Doesn’t the heartbeat also fall into a rhythm?
For any art or any deed, life is a platform.
Anything that doesn’t help others is of no use.
If the singing birds die, does the music halt?
Don’t we feel a new song in the flowing waters?
Good and Bad
There will be some who seems to be yours
And make the world go around for you.
But when they no longer are so,
You feel its your best and worst dream.
At such situations, how can one smile happily or hold on their tears?
How can one think everything is gonna be ok.
There are times when you feel there is no fun or meaning in living.
There are also time when each day is a huddle
With every moment being a punishment.
At such situations, how can one smile happily or hold on their tears?
How can one think everything is gonna be ok.
Just think for a minute dear, how much we all love you,
We all would cry if we see tears in your eyes.
We don’t know to sing but still sing for you to ease.
My dear, at times, understand the world is filled with darkness
But dawn soon follows.
There will be some who seems to be yours
And make the world go around for you.
But when they no longer are so,
You feel its your best and worst dream.
Try to keep laughing to make us happy or at least a smile for us to feel good.
If you are happy, we feel the world is filled with happiness.
The Sun comes up and distributes life.
Listen to what the breeze is telling you.
You realize or not there will be blossoms blooming
All fresh giving us more reasons to smile.
There will be some who seems to be yours
And make your world go around for you.
But when they no longer are so,
You feel its your best and worst dream.
Try to keep laughing to make us happy or at least a smile for us to feel good.

Just For you ...
I live for you, swallowing all my tears.
But in my heart, the lamps of love are still glowing just for you.
Just for you.
I shall live for you, swallowing all my tears.
I shall live for you, zipping my lips.
Just for you my love, just for you.
Life is presenting me the memories of the past days
I am surrounded with the past now
Though I stay silent, I get so many comments that prick.
What did I wish for? What did I get?
What did I do?
But in my heart, the lamps of love are still glowing just for you.
Just for you.
What do I tell? How this world is piercing me…
It is an order now that I live without you.
Innocent are those who say I can live without you.
But in my heart, the lamps of love are still glowing just for you.
Just for you.
I live for you, zipping my lips.
I live for you, swallowing all my tears.
Just for you. Just for you. Just for you.

Who mean to whom?
Where love only ends in pain.
All relations are deceptive.
Its all in an aggressive game of living.
My heart is still burning like a volcano as it hardens to be a stone.
I am trapped in a whirlpool of shattered feelings.
When my life is filled with tears, where is the scope for me to feel bad?
When tears fill my life, where do I stand?
Who mean to whom in this world?
Where love ends only in grief.
All relations are deceptive.
Its all in an aggressive game of living.
I was nurturing a few gently relations, nesting them in my heart.
My heart broke destroying them all.
I am left only with debris of memories to weep on.
Having a heart that can feel is not a boon.
Having relations close to heart is a curse.
I am angry with myself.
My anger is like the fire burning in the direction of wind.
I can’t reach the shores of my dreams.
I don’t deserve to be in any relationships.
Who mean to whom in this world?
When Love is only ends in pain.
All relations are deceptive.
Its all in an aggressive game of living.
I sing my own lullabies that hardly sooth me….
How long do I run to fetch water from an oasis?
Who shall help me like an umbrella in the hot sun and rain?
Loving is a crime that made my life a burden to myself.
The separation distances will never change now.
I give up myself!
Why am I waiting in the dark for light?
When I don’t have a language to express my sorrow.
Who mean to whom in this world?
Where love is only ends in pain.
All relations are deceptive.
Its all in an aggressive game of living.
My heart continues to burn like a volcano hardening to be a stone.
I am trapped in a whirlpool of shattered feelings.
When my life is filled with tears, where is the scope for me to feel bad?When tears fill my life, where do I stand?

"Race"
Stop not your race after 2 laps.
You will be called a quitter.
You may reset and run a race later.
But, not sure when you would quit again.
May be after 2 - 4 laps or till the finish.
Seeing quitters race is not interesting but,
It’s worthy to see the struggle of those trying to finish the race without quitting.
In the race of life, where there is no winning, completing the race without quitting is important.
Sometimes, being a proud looser is more satisfying than being a nag quitter.
RACE - Ramp up And Continue till the End.

Emotional breach
Stronger than cyanide, shall this be.
Like a monster shall fast spread, it shall try to cover you up.
Your Faith shall flare up.
Trust will evaporate from your crust.
The flowing time will pain you like sprit on a wound.
Guilt shall try to gulp you into time.
Guidance turns Gruesome.
Helping hands seem like hunters weapons.
There is not a place for you to hide but you are getting burnt slowly.
The venom in the crater has already sunk deep into the layers contaminating and destroying if forever.
Fencing the crater may help you sustain, for healing it is impossible.
Act quickly to fence.
For the age old saying, “Good fences make good neighbors”
You can only make the emotional crater a neighbor.
Apology and realization form the foundation on which forgiving stands a fence.
The only fence that shall stand.
Divert your ways away from the crater
Though you can always stand and watch it cutting in and in with no signs of healing.
The crowd around shall also love to watch the craters.
Once you make a good fence, time shall preach, how to live with the emotional wreck.

Is Bargain a human Trait?
No matter what it costs you, they shall do only 20% of what you ask; when it makes no difference to them.
When it is a mutual concern they do 80% of what you say.
When it is an obligation they do 100% what you say.
But when they need, they expect 110% leading to anger and frustration.
Each of us have been in in all the above onetime or the other. Yet, we are so indifferent and keep struggling in the same cycle.

Facts often overlooked in relationships
After seeing some of the couples depressed when there is nothing to be depressed about in joint families, I decided to write this post. I am not yet married but these thoughts have helped some of my friends understand life better and so I write. This will be a boring post though….
Past was easy and you were smart to manage.
Present is a monster out of your control and you are exhausted.
Future seems something you can gulp.
What should parents understand?
They should understand that there is a new person in their child’s life who also needs attention now. They should allow their son or daughter to give the other person some importance and shall not demand the same attention as before marriage. Especially in Indian marriages, when the girl goes to the guys house, everyone in the house needs to adapt. The guy cant spend the whole day as before chatting with his mom in the kitchen, watching TV with his dad and his routine with his family killing his 24 hours a day. Now there is another soul in the house who used to spend time the same way but now is in a new place. If everyone in the house continues to be as they were previously, the girl will be left nowhere and would start to think negative.
Parents should not find fault with their children and shall try not to point out how they change after marriage. They shall not see the girl as something that is reducing the time they spend with their son but try to treat her like their own daughter. The guy shall be uncomfortable to stay away from chatting to his mom in the kitchen to chat with his wife for a while. His parents shall help him balance this instead of saying “you are not finding time after marriage”. Let the new girl not feel insecure and try to stick to her husband always and grow anti in-law feelings.
The girls parents need to understand that the guy has very limited occasions to show himself to them and so should not jump to conclusion about him. In the very few occasions, he is very nervous and overwhelmed by the attention given. Understand there should not be a bad day when the girl shouts at him saying “what have you done for my family when I serve your family so much? I shall not do …..”. Let your son-in-law help you as the girl sees and let her feel, given an opportunity or need of the situation, my guy shall help my parents.
What should the guy understand?
There is a new soul next to him now. She also had good time with her family just like him. She has not been a house maker till date and so cant do things the perfect way from day one. She is not a robot to simply work and she needs time to adapt to this life. Deep inside her heart she misses her family and at times the kid in her feels you are responsible for getting her away. Though she overlooks this as she cannot admit it, it will show up in different ways. For example, when you say something your mom said, she may say “so what, I want you to do like this” this is the match stick that can burn the whole match. Instead of reacting back, think of ways to make her feel how special she is and how good she is and have the patience to explain her. When she has left her family to be with you, you can forgo a cricket match or a party to ease her. Later on you shall see this works magic in the ways she loves you. She will develop that unconditional love for you that will make her forgive you any number of times for anything. This will make her do the best for you and your family. Do remember to compliment her sometimes and then tell her how she can better to it.
Try to help your in-laws when needed, remember to check what they need often and not wait till the time they plead you for help. If you overlook this the girl may have a grudge on you and feel why she should do anything for your family when her family is left behind.
What should the girl understand?
The girl is out at a new location to adapt to a new lifestyle. There will be no one to compare her with her past and has a new canvas to work on. On the other hand, the guy is still in his old place, he would try to avoid people making fun of him saying “you have changed a lot after marriage”, thought this is unavoidable, each guy tries to fight this. He wants to portray to be the same and move on in his life the same way. He may not admit to this but it can show up in different ways. He may still be spending quality and quantity time with his parents and is again scared of hurting you. Since childhood he knows girls/ women are sensitive. His mom is on a watch suddenly with insecurity of loosing his son to you. He senses everyone looking at him through glasses but no one says anything. He is confused how to handle the situation and can ask none. He may not give you much time but may try to give you quality time. Don’t just concentrate on him, get moving with your in-laws. Overlook them looking at you through glasses. Admit the small mistakes you do like forgetting to add salt to the curry or so. Tell how your mom or siblings would have reacted to you in such a situation. This shall make them think of their family and their early married days relaxing the whole situation and giving more to talk on. Try to talk to the guy’s people on general things like recipes, daily chores, shopping and compliment them. Try to keep a low profile. Don’t show how busy you are with your career or how complex roles you play at your office. Get close to your mother in-law and she shall work the magic for you. Keep smiling and you can ask for tips to manage things instead of telling them you are too tired and cannot do all this. When his family is at ease and stops looking at you through glasses, the guy is relieved and is all yours. This makes a happy family. Try to tell him his mom is just like your mom. This may not do anything then but when your mom needs help, he shall do.
Understand your guy is not with your parents to see what they need. Try to help him to help your family and so you can avoid building grudge against him and his family for you do so much for them and they do nothing. He is not inhuman but doesn’t have n number of opportunities like you to score gud with in-laws.
How important are parents in a marriage?
Parents can always forgive and overlook our shortcomings. No one else is this world can do this. Even we cant always overlook and forgive our parents and may get angry with them. So we need to take care of them. They cut down on their interests to bring us up. We may have to adjust to help them ease when they are aged.
Other bitter fact that nobody bothers to think, when destiny plays in separating you from your life partner, the world would show sympathy for a short time like a skit but not help. Relatives may try to stand away fearing you may ask them for help if needed. But your parents stand by you to support you.

Happy
I’m happy not coz something has happened but
Coz nothing so wrong has happened.
I’m happy not coz I have done everything great but
Coz I have done something worth.
I’m happy not coz I have no troubles but
Coz I had nice time too.
I’m lucky not coz I find everything good but
Coz I did find something good sometime atleast.
I’m blessed not coz I have all good people around me but
Coz I have some good people with me as my near n dear.
Its You!!
When I am in, it’s a treasure I enjoy
Once I’m out n look back at the same, it’s a unknown forest.
Its just as long as u remain in the vicinity that u find it
Once you are gone, you have lost!
Its jus as long as you are with the people that u find your relation fine
Once you are away, you find them a mystery.
There will be no one for you to really look back and feel they are there
For when you look back, you find them something different n new
This is a hard fact of life that I realize.
Be it any relationship …… jus enjoy as long as u see it.
Once you close your eyes and turn back to see it, you may not find it.
Say a magic ……. but this is practical
No matter to what extent u trust but this is what happens finally!
Reasons may be varied and many but still this is the final.
Learn to live alone and don ever look back at someone or for someone.
If you tend to think back for someone jus cry in silence
But dont disturb the other person. This is difficult but you should do.
Don ever have the thought of sharing things with your near n dear
For soon u would realize they are raen n raed
When people can live themselves why don u?
Why do u have the thought of sharing your joy n sorrowIts all your tea. Drink it or do anything but don let others see it or even smell it.
I wrote this post with a heavy heart but no harm intended. I dont know if anyone at anytime feel the same. But its the aggressive side of me that is trying to push the blame on to you and shrug off. Please excuse me for this. I shall put up positive posts as a compensation if you are hurt. But these are my feelings sometimes!
Something Beyond Words ....
The wind whispers and I hardly hear.
The birds talk but I hardly understand.
Water flows but I hardly can follow.
I fail to feel the trees and plants for they hardly mean to reveal.
I can understand, follow, hear and feel people…
But the ones I want to listen to, hide from me.
They dont let me know anything though I can understand everything if explained with patience.
This tree stands hard enough to protect me……
Thought its all hollow itself, cant help it feel better
cant feel better myself……
Though the tree has shown me what it is …….
I’m unable to help.
There are some relations like this tree.
I’m helpless, can’t make them feel better though I want to.
Hope I dont hurt them more…..
Can just pray for them.
YOU … ME
If I dont respond to what you say,
You say I IGNORE you.
But I say I am DISTURBED.
If you are not responding to me,
You say why cant you UNDERSTAND?
I say why are you NOT COMFORTABLE with me.
If I involve myself in your activities with suggestions,
You say DO NOT POKE YOUR NOSE.
I say I CARE FOR YOU.
If I don’t give you any suggestions,
You say I am not BOTHERED about you.
I say I respect your LIBERTY dear.
If I question your silence,
You say I cant READ you still.
I say I don’t want to be MISTAKEN with you.
If I stay silent,
You say I am HIDING things from you.
I say I want you to READ these fine lines.
You say FIGURE it out if you care dear,
Else LEAVE IT.
I say NO cant give it up dear.
If I am angry,
You say SPEAKOUT if you are angry lets sort it,
Else I cant HELP you.
I say cant you FIGURE it out.
You say I have CHANGED.
I say cant you SEE what made me change.
If you change yourself to get better with me,
I say “you are MUCH BETTER dear”
You say “You gave me NO OTHER OPTION”
If I feel low and speak to you,
You say “I am ALWAYS THERE for you”.
I say “I know you LOVE me”.
If you feel low and speak to me,
I say “feel like doing ANYTHING for you”.
You say “I know you LOVE me”.

Mysterious “3”
We live in a 3 dimensional world.
Earth is the 3rd planet.
Eclipses are formed with 3 heavenly bodies
3 modes of transport (water, land and air)
All the matter around us can be classified into 3 states (solids, liquid and gas). The others are a hybrid.
We have 3 primary colors (red, blue, green)
As per hindu mythology, we have tri-murthy (brahma, Vishnu, maheshwara)
Most mythology talks about 3 (divine, human and evil)
Most of the times we talk about the top 3. (not top 2, not top 4 but top 3)
Scientifically, mythologically, psychologically, 3 has a great role to play.
Today I realize there are 3 in me that I depend on to project myself.
1) My brain that takes theory, theorems, values, history and works strictly on real time information available to arrive at conclusions.
2) My heart that sees beyond things and concludes based on no theory or real time information. I still wonder where does it get these conclusions from but it is a strong competitor to my brain.
3) Finally the virtual me who has the supreme power to choose what to go with. I can go with what my brain dictates or I can listen to what my heart says.
I feel I am always sandwiched tight between my brain and heart. I feel I am standing in-between my brain and heart who hardly agree with each other and are equally good at making conclusions.
The best lawyers that I have seen till date are my brain and my heart that are continuously at work and keep contradicting each other. They are the best competitors too. And the foolish me there, between them.
When I decide to go with my what my brain dictates as it comes to conclusions the logical way, and that decision proves to be wrong practically, my brain escapes saying “the real time data available then concluded this”, my heart laughs at me and says “you should have listened to me”.
When I decide to go with my what my heart suggests, I don’t find a logical way to explain why I support this, and that decision proves to be wrong practically, my brain shouts at me saying “why do you trust baseless conclusions? You should have listened to what I dictate”, my heart laughs at me and says “did I give you any explanation why I said so? Now y should I explain this?”
I can never master the art to choosing right between my brain and heart. And feel.
My Brain and heart never leave me alone.
They are always there no matter where.
They don’t need my attention but still function.
There is no way I can stop them from functioning.
“Peace” to me is only when my brain and heart are in sync on a decision.
“Hell” is when I practically fail when one of them was 100% correct.
“Dilemma” is when I am still thinking what to go with. Brain or heart.
“Victory” is when they both work hand in hand and practically be successful.
Does everyone feel the same?
Or is it just me who feels so?

Cloudy after a drought
Its being cloudy after a hot drought
not cool but just cloudy.
all dead, one seed left with breath,
half burried. No water to germinate.
No heat to kill. No breeze to soothe. But
the seed senses the heat of a volcano.
wht can the seed do?
It just looks at the passing clouds n
thinks of days it hd seen the island lively…
Battling with circumstances it waits
to see if it rains n hopes to
find the island lively again.
But it really doesnt know if it would rain or
the volcano errupt first …
If it rains would tht seed find atleast one friend ?
or would it just grow without enthu…
..facts..
not just a thorn but a rose touch can prick you.
When you are guilty or depressed
not just unpleasent things but
pleasent things can also hurt you.
confused
am I a sailor in a boat who can explore that land?
should I stand still wht ever happens arnd? or
can I resolve n set things right?
should I remain a tree in troubles n grow tough? or
can I be a bird n avoid troubles?
probably I hv too many options n so unable to choose.

This is what I want to be for you
When you have sun with you, you may not see me.
When you have moon with you, you may just notice me.
But when you have none with you ....
and look up, you shall see me.
you shall see Im always there for u.
what is it you see?
Your heart may break, but your smile is seen.
Your silence may be overseen, but your absence is pointed out.
You may be neglected, but your presence matters.
what is needed to live is:-
Your stress replaced by a smile.
Your emotions covered by a lotion of humour.
Supression of your depression.
An episode
In a witch’s play, she dirties a rose and laughs over it. The rose understands the witch is bad.
The rose waits to see itself clean again. The breeze could see this. The breeze loved the rose as it gave the breeze its fragrance and the rose loved the breeze as it made the rose swing and dance. The breeze thought that it could grow a little tough to push the clouds to shower on the rose. The breeze becomes wind to push the clouds but this removed one of the rose petals. The rose learned to be happy without that petal seeing the breeze struggle to push the clouds to shower on it. The rose loved the breeze/wind and did not bother about 1 petal that it lost. The breeze tells the rose “I love you dear. I shall always be with you.” The rose is happy and feels the same for the breeze.
The plant also knew the pleasant breeze became wind only for the rose ……………
Who is the culprit in this episode directed by nature?
Nature as usual, does not utter a word yet makes you understand.
Do you wonder how?
Wait to see the same episode in which you play the rose and the breeze can be ………….
The witch can be anything. And you will know it is bad and you would leave it there.
But breeze is what you shake hands with and you would love it …………………………
Reality
But the tides of fear can sink you into the ocean of tears.
Yet you stay alive.
If you are floating on surface, the rain of joy can enthrall you
The sun shall look a cool dude
If you are at a depth that you can see and feel the rain of joy.
The sun looks like he is searching for you,
You can still enjoy your way
But if you are at a depth out of reach of sun
Where rain has no definition and pressure is the only predator
Smile left behind miles away.
You shall be kept so long there that you can no longer enjoy anything.
Then soon the torture of regret fills you.
Emotionally you die.
Then remember you shall soon reach the surface of the ocean
Coz the dead float but you are not dead physically.
The sun would burn you. The joy rains would pierce you
So this time you your self try to run back deeper and deeper but,
the predator has already hogged.
You can not reach the deep; you can not dare to float
You need a helping hand of some one above
Who can suck the torture and regret in you to make you normal
But no one wants to dirty their hands. Even if they,
You are again susceptible to be a prey of the monster in the deep.
Or atleast you need a stronger hand which can push you back to the monster and make you a slave there.
But if you have none, no worries,
The strongest “Time” shall help you be totally dead
Or stamp on you hard enough that you live a fossil.
Escape Vs Express
The most disliked “like”
Or
The most liked “dislike”.
Because, like and dislike are two sides of single coin.
You can never express why you like
Or why you dislike.
Because here you just are seeing one side of the coin.
If you still try to express, that is escapism.
To understand:
You can express why you dislike watching movies. (Like …. I don’t like the whole lotaa crowd at a place standing for tickets and ending up in a dark room for 3 hrs….. Still they are some who like) so you are aware and accept your dislike is something that can be liked by someone. Hence you are expressing the disliked like.
You can express why you like teaching. (Like…. I like to face curious faces and share my knowledge…. Still they are some who dislike this.) So you are aware and accept your like is something that can be disliked by someone. Hence you are expressing the liked dislike.
Can you express why you like pink or why you dislike yellow? You may still try to.
Could you tell why your mom loves you though people may dislike. No because you can not accept the others dislike
Knowledge
Only a seeker can see.
Something experience may preach.
Something a person waiting can’t reach.
Something prayers alone can not fetch.
Something nobody can snatch.
Something always out of reach.
Something infinite.
Something with no discipline.
Something with no restriction.
Something with no race.
Something that can be defined by something any thing and everything.
This is nothing other than knowledge.
Good or Bad?
Nobody is related to anybody.
So there is no need for one to cut off to make the other happy.
Friends would be always clear.
Nobody so close that you need to read between lines to decode.
You need not go out of your way for any favor.
You would not expect anyone to read between your lines.
Because, you know nobody is so close to you.
All you have is friends, friends and friends.
There would be no infections like affection, love, responsibility…….
Everybody sailing in the only “friend”ship.
You would be your only responsibility.
Miss the Misunderstanding
Misunderstanding missing from the World.
When a caterpillar becomes a beautiful butterfly, the flowers appreciate it.
Though the butterfly doesn’t ask for.
There is nothing anybody would forget or neglect.
Everybody stays busy in making each other feel comfortable.
No tricks. No learning after being hit.
Everything is friendly....
Isn't this pleasant?
