A song heard..

Image
And a song heard over and over long ago... In the quaint shadow of a silver sprightly doe... Of the notes strung together in a cord... Sliced and shaped over a quiet sword... Trickling through, onto the sands of time... Swaying you along sans a reason or a rhyme... Eyes closed in a memory deep into the past... Of scars etched on a canvas yearning to last... Every word knowing its way within... Numbing, calming the ever-raging din.. To a world now strange and truly far... But only a song to chase the fading star...

The superhero in you!

           Growing up, each one of us always have had a character to adore. To simple look up to. Some from the real world, but some having a far greater space in our lives. The super heroes. The days when we actually believed

The pursuit - a poem

Image
Rules and expectations of the world, Press hard pushing on the soul dreary curled.. Perform or perish in this race with time, Running in the pursuit of earning a silly dime... Success in reach yet failures abound, Advisors dishing their wares, absurd yet sound... Judgements pronounced at mere a whim, The gradual rise threatening to spill the brim... Not a moment to smile at the image fair, Simplest of tasks, familiar leisure getting rare... Millions of lives breathe and take a leave, Through the maze your own path best to weave... Love plucks a chord on the strings, Never a word about the ache it brings... And yet in all the chaos calling, Lies the silence of the gliding wing... Finding the quiet shout lying in wait, Raise your head, buck up and stride in gait...

On Patience and others

      The title could surely be misleading. It is not specifically on a particular topic. Even as I answer to the often incessantly tempting blink of the LED of a notification. It is a thought in progress. It is a thought on the remarkable pace at which we are moving ahead in life. Connected by this inseparable vestige called the Internet. At the risk of sounding an hypocrite, I wonder at how much has is penetrated our lives. The instagrams, the facebooks and whatsapps becoming so much of an integral part.It is marvelous if one ever wondered how lost we might feel without the WiFi and the data packs.     Subtly yet slowly we are now used to getting instant results. The speed at which we have our wishes, even needs fulfilled is mind boggling. This eventually has reduced the feeling of acknowledging the process. It seems a distant past well childish wonder dominated every event around us. When the smallest of things were a view to behold. Do we ev...

To stay focused - 5 little ways

Image
Every day there are mind boggling events happening around us. Right from major inventions to heinous crimes on the rise. Amidst this hullabaloo of constant out pour how do we manage to stay in a stable state. Here are a few ways which could help..  1.To have a reason worth sticking to: There is always a reason to all of our actions. The driving force which makes our daily clock tick. To have a reason which gives us a boost at times when all seems hazy and the going gets tougher. The reason plays a very important role in keep us on track.

6 reasons to help reduce worrying

Image
In a world of forever increasing pressure. Here's six ways to handle and reduce this ever problematic anxiety. 1. Realize the waste in it:  There is no use of being worried about an event which is in the future and you have absolutely no control over. The wasted moments on thinking about what would happen in the future only come back in the future as moments of regret on having wasted time.

On living it..

Image
          Of recent a recurring thought brushes by in forms. 'The things we didn't do are more regretted than the ones we actually end up doing'. We live without a foot always in the past and one worrying about the future. And in this process forget the importance of the present tense. By far the most important gem we possess. The uncanny worries of the future and the constantly regurgitated events of the past play havoc on the board of our life throwing the pieces in disarray. It is but easy to lose oneself in the thought of how the past was. And yes the sweet events of the past brush past the gentle facade of our memories letting lose the unbidden days gone by. It is a pleasure to remain immersed in the thoughts of things that were. It allows you to be comfortably numb from the realities of the present. The other extremes where we end up is worrying about the future. The constant thoughts of how things will be and what will be the reactions of ...

The Eternal Ephemerality of Moments

Image
 The transient life that flows all around and the moments sprinkled in this montage of time make one wonder about the little joys and the tinges of sorrow tangled in this web. The timeless beauty of moments we let sink in and affect the very foundations of the lives we lead. Every one writing his or her own story flipping through the pages at a pace unknown to the writer. The words marked upon with a permanence unavoidable by the mightiest. The moments that find their niches in this tapestry laid out for one to create, have their own way of touching lives. Some find mentions, some chapters in the book of moments of others. Finding their way to their hearts and some staying beyond the short lived phases and phrases of memories. Time flows by on its own never-changing pace while one treads around collecting snapshots of frozen time. The moments that linger on the edges of the deep abyss of the mind. The moments hidden deep away in the recesses while some lost in the crowd of newer o...
