Collegues?? OR Friends??

You can open your mouth and tell people where they went wrong or what hurt you.

But, you cannot open your mind, pull on that nerve and get hold of that pulse which told you to stop.

You cannot open your heart and tap on that vein which told you to give up on those people who were giving you more doubts than love.

You cannot tell people, not to try to possess the other person because of other's insecurity, and always take a back-seat because if you do, their ego gets hurt.

Where they treat you well only when they need something from you, sideline you when their work is done, where they slyly compete against you, calling you names and putting you down infront of others, and when they openly scream out your little secrets and joys to a room full of people.

It reminds me of the time when I have swallowed the taunts and insults, disguised as jokes.

All I could do was to remove myself from the equation and move away from people that no longer felt mine.

AND, wish them well.🙏🏼💜

🐍Uncoil Yourself ...Slowly🐍

Inch by inch,

Little by little,

Uncoil yourself slowly,

Cut yourself away,

Withdraw yourself,

Go invisible,

And remain unheard,

It was never done in a spat,

It did not happen on the drop of a hat,

They poisoned it slowly,

They poisoned it with their silliness,

Their unfaithfulness, 

Their unbothered overconfidence,

Because they were such super-confident ,

That you will stick by them,

No matter what they do,

You will run wild and mad if you don't find them,

But,

You turned the tables so well,

And, your victory became their downfall,

Remember, While you were angered and hurt,

They merrily noticed it all and giggled,

How comfortably they failed to notice,

That, It took all the love out of you,

To forgive them time and again,

Freedom, Peace, Solitude and Love became your priceless gain,

I only wish that all the others,

Who come close to someone,

Who plays with their feelings,

Find the courage to pull themselves apart

And, notice the games from the start

Do not believe a face for its prettiness,

Do not believe greatness,

People fake it so well,

Believe what they do with it,

Unmask their souls and see them raw,

For that is where their god lives,

I hope you all find the courage,

To choose well between someone who is just playing around,

And , who will be up for you, 

When your world turns upside down.

...

Love and light❤💫

🌊Dive Deeper🌊

 Let's Dive deeper,

Let's look beyond appearances,

Let's learn to read humans,

Beyond their physical appearances,

Beyond their popularity,

Beyond their material achievements,

Let's not be fooled by sweet words,

Real people are never always sweet, 

and 

Sweet talkers are seldom real.

Let's Dive deeper,

Let's look beyond appearances.

Love and light

⏳Times' Up !!⏳

Know when your times' up!

Know when to leave the spot,

Walk with integrity,

Choose self- respect ,

over drama and despair,

Life goes in spirals,

Learn the lessons,

And leave the story,

You turn the tables ,

When you refuse to play ,

With a toxic connection,

Forgive them but never forget,

Do no harm but take no shit,

Your time will come ,

And everything will be a perfect fit,

Walk in solitude, pray with gratitude,

Love yourself while your journey looks blurred,

Only you know what you have endured,

So ,

Dance in grace,

Go back to your space,

Open your arms to the beauty of nature,

Allow your soul to be nutured.

Just Let Go.. and Surrender.

Love and light

2021 - Done right but...

So...the Nature enthusiast that I be.. I was waiting to capture the first sunrise of 2021. My father suggested of us going to Umbarligaon. As two excited photography lovers as we are , we started towards the destination.

Unusual of me, was I had decided to do some photosession , so BIRDING wasn't really on my list. I was simply intending to have some air, sun and wind inside me. We went to the spot whistling with the wind and enjoying the morning sun scribbled with clouds. We clicked some photos and sighted some birds. 

We decided to take our way back to home as we do when we got hungry or tired . We packed up and were ready to leave when our bike started wobbling on the roads. Dad understood that this was something unusual. So, he told a passer by to check the tire. The TIRE had punctured...on a BUSYROAD , AMIDST the jungle on both the sides. As protective as my father is, he told me catch a rickshaw and leave the spot. I simply denied and told him we will go together, NO MATTER WHAT !! 

I told my dad to handover me the camera bag, to which he was hesitant first but agreed later. He dragged the vehicle through the road, while I held the two heavy bags, mine behind and his in front. We dreaded together halfway looking for help but no avail. Gathering the remaining guts in him, he drove alone till the main road. The FRONT tire was working just fine. Now, I was alone carrying myself with the two bags on the first day of the month, looking weird to myself. 

I just had to keep my hopes high. I started walking in glee, took out my camera and started capturing birds sighted on my way. This was the time, I sighted a rarity of our region  ORIENTAL TURTLE DOVE. The bird was sighted for the second time after 2016.

After walking for a while , I was reaching the main road when Dad gave me a call that he found a garage. THANKING all the elements in the NATURE, I took heavy steps and walked towards the main road. Thankfully, the main road wasn't that far. Dad waited at the main road, got the puncture removed and then we left the place.

I just had a monologue with GOD about stopping the adventures in my life and I myself realized that,THIS IS HOW IT WILL ALWAYS BE...TAKE IT OR TAAKE ITT...THERE IS NO ESCAPE, BECAUSE HE (GOD) IS THE BOSS and everything will always be HIS WAY. 

And, For you all reading this, ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST...ALWAYS !!

Amen to HISways...

Hail the ALMIGHTY

Hail the CREATOR💖😇

LOVE AND LIGHT

Find your own ANSWERS ❤💫

 People often tend to question themselves "Why do we always achieve anything , the hard way?" He/she gets it ready whereas I have to hog after it. WHY ?

We often blame it on destiny or fate. I too did the same a lot of times. It took me a lot of pain to realize that it wasn't that. It was because, We must have the FAITH in our hearts that there will be something that would never let anyone of us FALL completely. 

I hope you know that's not HUMPTY DUMPTY sitting on a wall and falling off. I am talking about a totally different kind of FALL , a FALL where you feel ashamed of yourself. 

Something works on a deeper level inside us, stirring our inner strength, building our faith , even during the most disheartening times. May be that's what LOVE is all about.

FAITH in the faceless, ( but my faith has a face) in a power that won't let you FALL.

I got my answers when I faced the circumstances, let them burn me and trouble me. I became open to recieve answers in a way the SUPERPOWER ( You can call it ALMIGHTY, GOD , give it names, faces and charecteristics ) wanted me to learn. 

Honestly, For me "Every BEING that walked the face of Earth is an embodiment of LOVE ".

 Some just know their POWER whereas others keep searching it, try snactching it, copying it or the worst, ie criticizing anothers'. That's total waste of Energy.

Walk in your own POWER, Shine in your own BEAUTY. Find your own ANSWERS. Come back to LOVE again and again.

🌡🐷Guinea pigs🐷🌡

I was born a guinea pig, 

to a guinea pig , 

who was experimented upon,

By my parents, elders and forefathers, 

Who were guinea pigs too.

I was dozed with love,

Pain, punishment and sarcasm,

Difficult to tolerate, 

Impossible to forget.

Later, I was dozed with false and lies

Of guilt and shame,

And Self- pity and blame,

They feeded my ears with stinky lies,

Lies that you are free,

And be whoever you want to be,

I was dozed with responsibilty,

They started checking my tolerance level,

May be it was normal,

So they concluded, I was a sane individual,

Then , they decided they want to ruin my sanctity,

So, they sought out ways and tricks,

To make me question my self worth by their unsuccessful pricks,

But here my friend,

They were unknowingly caught,

I saw the mark of an opperesor,

And, spoke back about the chaos,

I was rewarded with flowery language 

and fake admirations,

And relentlessly played upon with my emotions,

Then , they began a mad rat race !

An invisible , unknown race,

Among the guinea pigs, and made them hog,

Hogged till their minds rattled, 

Their hearts poisioned,

And their sanctities questioned,

But, something greater came to their rescue,

Struck with oneness and love , out of the blue,

They realized it sooner or later,

Whatever happened, whoever did it, 

They all were in it always together.

No one was superior or down the surface,

All the Guinea pigs were running a mad, mad race.

 Born in the laps of a wonderful city

Struggling and surviving its nity-gritty,

We left it when I was three,

And, shifted to a small town,

But , my heart was left there,

I visited it only in my vacations,

To that grandparents home, the sea,

And , the huge fig tree, 

In the city of dreams,

Where it is easy to tread on roads,

And, Difficult to sustain ,

But, won't let you go disdain,

I promise you , it takes a lot,

May be more than a lifetime,

To understand the mystery of this city,

When you give yourselves, 

It pays you back in ounces,

Hold your roots tight,

And , don't give up without a fight,

Be alert and stay safe,

Proceed with caution , and never leave your grace,

There are some angels on the forlorn roads,

And devils in some of the luxury cars,

Mumbai is a mystery to be unfold,

Who speaks to the unheard and listens the untold,

 Ever saw that starry night under the fig tree,

Ever felt that breeze on the sea-shore free,

The splashing of the waves clears all the ill,

Filing your mind with new thrill,

Remember playing  'pakda -pakdi' with the waves,

The sweat of your brow knows no cast,

There is just one rule, "Run Fast !"

Generations of people, have survived in its womb,

 To the deceased and the unhealthy,  Mumbai lends its tomb.

(PS : MUM - BHAI- A mother who welcomes with open arms and brother that defends.)

👩‍🏫A WOMAN was born..👩‍🏫

 One fine day a woman was born,

Who promised herself , she won't be torn,

She won't be needy , 

neither be wished upon,

She would walk the talk of her soul,

And, never fear the foul,

Stay happy and spread cheer,

For the life that she lives, 

And, the air that she breathes is utmost dear.

💟Leisure💟

Being a part of the fast modern world,

Is the toughest challenge to behold,

You must either compete or carve your path,

Or be ready to face the defeat and all the wrath.

We live a materialistic life,

Full of greed and a hell lot of strife,

Every emotion is measured online,

Every word is rated and fine.

This machine in us requires to pause,

And, strive for a more worthy cause,

Give yourself the time,

And lend yourself a day,

To keep your worries at a bay,

Switch off that survival mode ,

Once a while,

Let go off the control, 

And swim against the tide.

Chill with the lilies,

And dance with the waves,

Appreciate the beauty around,

Stay alive and stay awake.

Do the impossible , the unheard at least once,

Since, Life may not give you another chance.

A Beautiful Bend..💗

Life humbles you in so many ways
It shows you things you never want to face,
It throws you to the storm,
And, watches the chase,
Broken , sad and lonely,
Yet, Determined to live with utmost grace,

There came a beautiful bend,
Risk of my life,
For testing my fear,
I dived into it, ready to conquer,
The unknown and the unseen,
A high risk adventure,

It turned out to be a great matter,
For I felt the pain and love together,
Rare is the thing that sparks the soul,
Insanely ecstatic feelings unfold,
I laughed and cried for the passion was more.

But , later I learned it was just the passion,
No feelings , nor love,
I had to accept that it left me, for its another awe,
And , today I am grateful that it did.
For it wasn't The End'but just 'A Beautiful Bend"

Infinity

You fee bad b'coz you had been hurt, cheated or manipulated. But consider yourself like the water from the buckets, that can be impure or pure. But when that water mixes with the vast ocean, it becomes infinite. Then it losses it's impurity too.

You truly need to lose yourself to find a better version of you.
#morningthought

Courage

If you have the courage to love
Have the courage to lose
Have the courage to give up
And Have the courage to see everything fall into place without you. 

The Golden Cage

Golden bars so strong
To keep me safe
To protect from strangers eye

Delicacies served in a golden plate
I walk with golden shoes
On the muddy path

Golden pillows to sleep
On a golden bed
Surrounded by penetrating eyes

Appearing in my dream
Uninvited in my thoughts
I feel like a Golden princess

Who walks with a golden umbrella
In the dazzling dark rain
And there comes a silver light
Which soothes all my pain

Pain

A language that connects...

your innermost self

To You



A thread that connects

You with

The Almighty



A friend who

Exposes

The truth



A guide that takes you to places

So scary where...

 Fear Ends,



Strength Emerges

And Life Truly Begins...

All I want is a LIFE

A life mightier than itself

Life that has fought through tears

Life that has faced many fears

Life which never calculates good or bad

Life which keeps me alive through misery and pain

Life which keeps me sane throughout my struggles

Life that takes me to places unknown

Life that keeps me prompt

Life That helps me BREATHE , SURVIVE AND STAY ALIVE

Rosy Glasses Dicarded

You try to impress by wealth or by health
I can see through your wickedness

You bring flowers or chocolates to impress me
I can feel the selfishness of your motives

You get a bike , set it high, give fake explanations
I can see through your actions

Your sweet words and your adoring messages
Are no more a miracle
I can read between the lines

Your fake pain , Your crocodile tears
Are No more a reason to love

Rosy glasses were discarded
And , I have known
Love isn't Love ... when it is for a reason
Love isn't love for sweet whispering and cozy cushions
Love means being there throughout for the rest of the Life

I have discarded the Rosy Glasses that I carried
I have Known the Life's difficult ways

Rosy curtains have fallen off
I have seen the Naked truth
I neither need sympathy, nor encouragement, neither support
From a mortal anymore

I have found LOVE...

In my parents care

In someone's guidance

I have found love...

In the scolding of and elderly person

In the smile of a child

I have found love...

In the consoling of a friend

In the touch of someone's tears on my heart

I have found love

In the birth , rebirth and fulfilment of my dreams

In the budding aspirations of my heart

I have found love 

In the mother nature's unconditional giving

In the falling of Raindrops on me when I wanted to burst out

I have found love 

Whenever I have found a helping hand from the almighty

Who helped me regain my faith in myself 

It feels lonely...

Lonely in a crowd of people

Lonely in a herd of beautiful faces

Lying on the bed and having no one to comfort

Waking up in the morning and having no one to praise you

It feels lonely...

When you have many to talk to but no one to share with

When you don't know where you fit in

When you don't know your own aims and desires

When you don't know how far you need to go

It feels lonely...

When you don't have someone, you can shower your love on

When the only person you can rely upon does not have time for you

When you think you have wronged someone but fail to understand. How ??

When you still keep on thinking about the things that makes you feel lonely

Our Unsung Protagonists

Clad upon the ignored side of the road,
they made a home of their own,
By gathering metal and tin sheets,
From the great dust dumped around.

They lived, ate, and cleaned the utensils,
All at one single place,
One corner was called bathroom,
Another was called kitchen.

A bucket and mug was kept,
In a corner called bathroom,
A single 'Chulha' was placed,
In a corner called kitchen.

It was their heaven, their only world ,
But,One day their home collapsed,
Those people destroyed their heaven,
Gathered by those diligent hands

Reckless as those people were,
Who destroyed their heaven,
And called it their duty,
To end their little cornered life

The wife almost screamed with terror,
Seeing no home but dust,
The husband got almost mad,
And ran after those people.

Cursing them, Accusing them,
For destroying their only abode,
Collapsed down on the dust,
Blaming their poor destiny.

My heart went out them,
but could not even console them,
I could curse the destroyers,
And, Prayed for them

To my utter wonder,
I saw that home build again,
In the same place,
With the same metal and tin sheets.

My happiness knew no bounds,
Tears of joy rolled down frantically,
They helped me regain trust in my beliefs,
That, Not giving up matters

Many people wither away,
When life puts them down to dust,
But, A real hero emerges,
When he/she decides to face the fight.

They are our real Heroes and Heroines,
They are whom I call,
OUR UNSUNG PROTAGONISTS
They fight with their destinies,
Just to live a little more time,
To survive one more day,
Each time someone breaks their heaven.
