Mind and you

My mind has limited focus capabilities
How do I get stuff done
When you have captivated
All my focus

Eyes and dreams

She was silent
Yet her eyes were spinning
A beautiful story

Her eyes were staring mine
It looked so
Yet her eye's were weaving
Some beautiful dreams

I lay there hoping
To play my role
In manifestation of those dreams
If not atleast I pray God
Not to fiddle with those
Tender beautiful dreams

Petrichor

I was like the mud,
Just lying around scattered,
Until you touched me like the rain,
To turn me into "Petrichor"

P.S. Petrichor is the smell you get when rain touches the ground.

Chasing gals

If you feel chasing gals is difficult try dreams

Flamboyant trip

The lady herself is in trip
Yet she trips this sober with her
Impeccable flamboyance

Nostalgic ride

She takes the drivers seat
Driving me through the lanes of Nostalgia
Only to realize later
That it was just Nostalgia

Intoxication

Intoxication meant smoke and drink to me
But you came in and gave it a whole new        dimension

Social media envy and how to deal with it

"I had this feeling that why is that things are not working for me.I have been putting effort and all but the moment I see my peers showcasing their achievements on social media I get depressed. Not that I don't appreciate their achievement but it makes me wonder why I am nt able to achieve those things which they are flaunting about.Whats the short coming in me and so on"

How many of you have gone through these kind of feelings.Almost everyone at some point or the other isnt it...Those "when it will happen to me" moments when you see someone post about holidays,their new car their new achievement...etc.

And then it so happens that you either self deprecate yourself or find something wrong with their achievement..

So if you relate to any of these steps here are a few things that can make you feel better

Gratitude- Make a list of all the good things that have happened to you .List Everything; that compliment you got for the dress or that moment when you kicked some bad habit..List everything

The other side of those social media posts:The truth is people only post what is best on social media.For every sexy dp there would have been countless bad photos in their mobile .For every achievement posted there would have been countless failures that go unreported.So understand this and chill

Everyone has his own carved path: You always compare saying why did that guy/gal got the opportunity while he/she wasn't so deserving.Why don't I get to know about these opportunities..But the fact is everyone has his/her own carved path.They might have some other opportunities destined for them.So comparing is irrelevant

Keep working and Network:So all you have to do now is sit down and understand what you want and start working.Also be good and Network with others.This will help you achieve your goal faster

Oh 'dream' stop behaving like a teenage gal

You give a glimpse
And disappear
You find a cruel fun
Playing with us

Oh "dream" y u
so notorious

You flirt with us
And make you want more
And when we fall
You resume playing games

Oh 'dream' stop behaving
like a teengae gal

Common now it's time
I have paid my due
You gotcha melt
And hold my hand

Oh 'dream' be a good friend
Now

A world of peace

No grief, no sorrows
No war,no terror,
No hunger,no poverty
No guns,no weapons

I dream of such a world
That glows in peace
I dream of such a world
Thats an epitome of love

Where smiles resides
Where harmony reverbs
Where brotherhood persevers
Where joy prospers

I dream of such a world
That glows in peace
I dream of such a world
Thats an epitome of love

Unrealistic is my dream I know
But there's a hope I carry
Someday we will get thr
Where peace and earth will marry

Split between Passion and Profession

Stressed was he
Blinking his eye

Keying in IFs/ELses
Not knowing why

Working long,for
a damn promotion/onsite
that hardly came by

Just then Life/Love/Passion
Infront of his eyes flashed by

He closed his laptop and headed home
Regretting the years that passed by.

Dont doubt your potential

I wonder if that
Glowing flower
know's it's fragrance

Wonder if the
Spider is aware
of its grit...

I wonder if
The bee knows
The sweetness of
It's honey.

But hey , you are intelligent
But I still wonder
Y you doubt your
Own potential....

Walk in Saree

All this while I believed
That angels hold the beauty copyright
But your elegant walk in the exotic saree
Busted the myth..

Spellbound

She gave a cute smile,
And walked ahead for a while,
With a hypnotic grace she then turned around,
Leaving me expressionless and spellbound

Ishq ka Ehsaas

Meri soch bandhi hai
Tere ishq ke dayyare se

Rahoon is ishq ki mehfil mein sada
Kyunki jeene ki mehak
ati hai isi ehsaas se..

Tu hi manzar,Tu hi Safar

Jo dil me main jhakun
To ehsaas bole
Jo gaur se dekhun
Jazbaat bole

Ki tu hi hai manzar

Baje Tere pyaar ki dhun
Har nas nas mein
Yeh nagma bhi bole
Har lafz mein

Ki tu hi hai safar

A singer who chose music over cigarette..

     Somehow things were not working for this Singer..He was doing everything rite.He was passionate ,hardworking .He didn't miss his daily practice..wrote songs regularly listened to the masters..But he was not able to win . Every time he went on stage his voice didn't support .resulting in an average performance...

    With a head full of thoughts he came out ,for a fag..Watching the smoke coming out of cigarettes he was thinking what went wrong. Cigarette after Cigarette were lit but no solution was found..He thought this wasn't working ;no solution seemed to come out..Amidst too much frustration he threw the cigarette butt ,picked up his guitar and was ready to go....

   Just when  he was about to leave, something struck.;.His mind recalled the words of  his teacher..
"Cigarette and singing don't go hand in hand.You have to choose between singing and smoking"..


Everything seemed clear now..The countless number of cigarettes he smoked ,the no of bad performances unraveled in his mind in a form of recap..He realized the reason for that raspy voice ,breathlessness and hence bad performances...It was that stupid smoke....

   There was one option ..Singing or Smoking. Singing was love for him and smoking a severe addiction.Giving up  anything of the two was bit challenging..But eventually he decided to let go of his addiction..He decided to kick the cigarette butt in its butt..

   It was pretty hard for him ..Everytime he went out or saw someone smoking he was attracted to smoke but the resolve in him resisted..Everytime he went out with friends for a drink he was made fun off for becoming a saint but his resolve kept him grounded.Also the withdrawl symptoms were killing him ..He went through severe headaches ,depression ,sleepless nights..But he tried to resist ,,

  It so happened that one day he lost control and went out and lit a cigarette...One puff inside he felt ashamed ..He thought of the past and the reason he quit it.He cried out of guilt..And then he came back with a stronger resolve...And he never looked back thereafter...

Fast Forward 2 months:
-----------------------------

 He was all set to perform.There was a fear in him as to what will happen ..Slowly the music began...
And he started singing..There was no raspy throat nor there was breathlessness..His voice came out as smooth a silk...He closed his eyes and sang his heart out..when he finished the auditorium roared with a standing ovation..
   
 A small tear rolled from his eye..

A girl ran to him and asked ..How did he get such a beautiful voice....He just smiled and walked away in content....

He finally chose passion and music  over a stupid habit..He chose to make others happy through his music than just making himself happy...He chose music over addiction..He choose a life that had impact on others ...than merely wasting it..
