My Symphony...

I always wanted to sing a song

it has been my wish for so long

just couldn't get my voice in place

when everything around is so misplaced.

I needed a fair reason

to devote my life to

needed some mission

and someone as a guide too.

This world is really strange

keeps on going at its own pace

never ever lingers for anyone

even when resources seem so less.

Things just keep on happening

for no apparent reason

that's what people feel

blinded by their own scepticism.

No one seems to care

when things go out of control

untill destiny hits them hard

and scares a part of their soul.

What can I do and

why should I care

when I am just better

and part of a creamy layer.

Everyone has his own way

then why should I change mine

It's just not my duty

no one gave me any sign.

Often people totally forget

as they play a defeated man

sooner or later those who win

are those who think they can.

So it's foolish to wait for the right moment

and for the things that always go wrong

no point in rusting the instruments

but should make moment right by my song.

The swing....

Two small kids who

get along very well

one little boy

and a girl with a pony tail.

The boy was very lazy

who just hated school

to attend, he needed compny

what others would call a fool.

No matter what others say

she was always there

whenever he cried

or wanted his joy to share.

Both were different characters

that would say any human

both with different mindset

yet something was very common.

The school got over

and both took different leap

yet they were there

if anyone ever slip.

The days passed by

and calenders were changed

distances were amplified

yet the bond remained.

The boy was a tough guy

who hardly showed an emotion

The girl was very sensitive

yet a fight was a rare occasion.

They used to play on a swing

that still stand there

he was eagerly waiting

but she wanted to go elsewhere.

This boy is a young man now

and the girl is his sis

who is going to get married

and whom he will surely miss.

MISTAKES- A JOURNEY TOWARDS EVOLUTION

MISTAKES ADD JOY TO LIFE….

Here is a thought that came to me yesterday. I was having a conversation with a friend of mine about a mistake made during a message. Later on I realized that mistakes or imperfection actually add a funny side to life. Imagine what life would be like had everybody been just perfect. Life would have been just a mechanical work. As they say it’s because of sorrow that we can actually enjoy the feeling of joy. Mistakes actually become a funny part off course if taken that way.

 

Now here is a broader perspective to the thought. Definitely am not suggesting that it’s right to make mistakes. It remembers me of that old line, “Mistake is only a mistake if made twice.” So we all know that to err is human. It’s absolutely okay to make a new mistake everyday. If you think about mimics or funny actors, you will realize that they actually make us laugh by mistaken parts about life. We laugh at a joker in the circus because he dresses in an imperfect manner. However it’s not right to make same mistake again and again. Now the question is how should we approach a mistake?

 

Here is what I feel. First we need to remember that nobody is perfect. Science people know that in theories perfect is something that never exists. So it’s really important to see the funny side of a mistake and not be judgmental. I have seen many people who are just waiting for other people to make mistake and then make an issue out of it. Well that’s just a seek mind at work. Attitude is something that we can always choose. So what I mean is if someone commits a mistake see the funny side. Make people laugh. Remember making someone laugh is not an easy thing to do. It’s a skill that anyone can learn with right mental attitude. Also learn from other people’s mistake.

 

That was how we should approach when someone commits a mistake. Now I will put my thoughts on what person who commits mistakes should do. Well first of all don’t read further if you are a person who cares too much about other people’s opinion, how people will react and what they will say and what you should do to please them. My blog is for like minded people, people who run their own race. As when you run your own race you are incredibly open to learn from your mistakes. So who are of this kind they are not worried about public opinion and being socially correct. So what I believe one should do is first of all he should also see the funny side and understand that to err is human. Then to learn and rectify. Ultimately it’s then that we evolve. Again I would like to talk about alchemy on point of evolution. As Paulo Coelho puts it “To become an alchemist, he needs to understand that alchemy is not about turning lead into gold. It’s actually a process of evolution. Evolving along with the things around you. In case of metals gold is the ultimate evolved state.”

 

So stop worrying about the public opinion. Make a new mistake each day. Make people laugh. See the funny side of a mistake. Accept and learn from a mistake and evolve.Yes make sure that we don’t make same mistakes again! Well while writing this article I am making a mistake of delaying my time to study. But life is about priorities and still writing is something that lies very high in my priority queue!

I DON'T LIE.......

You would just go away,
just like that someday.
If I never tell you,
that I love you.

All the dreams I have,
and all the sweet big plans.
They would never come true,
unless it's you.

that kindness of your heart,
and sweetness deep inside.
I like it so much,
that I can not lie....

Everytime I see you,
I feel one thing
this heart of mine sings
just your songs....

All those lonely nights,
all those shining stars
I wonder what they say
to me in the dark....

And I swear to God,
that it's just true
whenever I say,
that I love you.

Far away on the farm,
when I think of you
I wish if I had wings
to come to you.

I say for the last time
believe me when I say
that now I just can't
stay away....

So let's start a journey
together from tonight
and you will realise
that I don't lie.....
that I just don't lie......
I really don't.... lie.....
