Changing homes..

We may choose otherwise but it never stops. Life goes on. To keep up with the challenges, we need to change as well. Change is a paradox in itself. Survival needs change, so does living and there is a difference. A stark difference that most of us assume ourselves to know but don’t live by it. There are times when our own beliefs haunt us, they ask questions that reveal our ignorance. One of the finest things once legendary Steve jobs said was about Connecting the Dots, the real essence of the phrase said that when we are faced with hardships, our life demands change and we must not fear it. We should change for the better and for the right things in life. The harder part is we know nothing of the chances that these changes shall give us a better life but we have to take the leap of faith and believe that things shall turn out good. And always know that we can never connect the dots looking forward, we can only do it looking backwards.

When we imagine ourselves a few years earlier, while being kids, the things we used to say or do makes us laugh now. And we think, how we have changed in life and for the better. We know that the present moment shall feel the same when we think of it years later because we will be changes then and for the better, of course.

There are a few things that one is proud of himself, few decisions, few moments, and few actions that we are all proud of ourselves. One of the thing I am proud of myself is the steps I have taken to be what I am from what I was. Sure, I am not the richest person in the world neither I have contributed great things to make the world a better place but what I know is that I am a better person than I yesterday was. And great things are always accomplished with small little changes.

I was an emotional dumb, holding on to things that didn’t matter and stressing over things that didn’t exist in the real world, it all happened in the mind. I don’t remember the time when I was positive in my thoughts and was always afraid of petty things. Shy of almost anything that involves people and as numb as one can be when alone. I don’t had any reasons though, but I didn’t feel any reason to be happy either.

I had lived 15 years in my life and had changed three homes. Changing homes doesn’t only means changing the place where you reside, it changes your values, your emotions, the feelings that you associate your home with. The memories that you have, the experiences you have lived. The people you have been with. Changing a home, changes your life.

For me, when we shifted to our new home 4 years back, it was a shift not of the location where I lived but of the person I was. It changed my life forever since, because of the little changes that it brought along. The friends that I had, the environment I lived in and the impact that it had was a paradigm shift.

As I started with, life goes on. We need to move with it to enjoy it. To live at the same place will always hold a special importance. But when we decide to move places, see different things, roam around and discover new places, in the age of internet, it has become a lot easier now to do so, by means of Housing. They have chosen the most complex thing in our life and made it as simple as it can get.

Watch this and you’ll know how.

Because, they want to “Help The World Live Better” and it only happens with unprecedented dedication.

Live a life.

We can do whatever we want. This is the biggest truth of life. We have all the ability in this world to do whatever we desire. But we have a single life, we will make a single mark, on the world and on the people living in it. Why not take the opportunity and win it. Why not seek what we really want rather than wasting it. It all depends on what you want, your wants will make you happy when fulfilled, and it will give meaning to your life. Just living for the sake of it isn’t what we are born for. What we have to do is choose what will give us happiness and work to seek it. We will fail many times over choosing the right purpose because we don’t know ourselves well, sometimes we will choose the right thing but will still fail because of some unlearned lessons. Ask a wise person, who is your greatest teacher and failure he shall claim. Everyone has a different story to write and will face their own story’s twists. And a story without some thrills is a boring one, so enjoy your twists they may be the most fascinating part of your life. Our mistakes are like a wise person, if we learn from them we prosper, if we ignore them we fall in the same trap again. It is the way how life works, just like a game. You don’t go to the next level unless you clear the current one. Lastly, it rests all in your own hands, make it or break it; love it or shove it; live it or leave it; create a life so wonderful people celebrate you for decades after you perish. Live a life, or it ruins the purpose.

Insanity

Happiness was you from the sun to night,

The eyes went numb without your sight.

Forget the faults, forget the stars,

My heart still aches by the wounded scars.

The way you smiled and made me to,

I can explain but to a very few.

I still believe in the words you spoke,

Which merrily came and my heart soaked.

In an open field I will always wait,

 Where you would running come and change my fate.

Together, our love will surpass our vanity,

And then will I prove my sheer insanity.

Jai Hind!

Sixty-eight years of independence and we have made a country that we love to live, that we have made it worth our existence and are extremely proud of it. Patriotism is not only a feeling but also the actions we take, the thoughts we think and the kindness we show towards our people and the nation as a whole. It is too easy to stand for the anthem and bribe while you are way home, much easier to curse the system than to change our own selves. It is not even good to brag about one’s sentiments for the nation and force people to do the same. It is what should come from within and the willingness to be a part that brings change, no matter how small it is. It is the most clichéd thing to say and which is thought to be non-relevant and much ignored but a nation as a whole cannot change until each one residing within changes. We all live at different places, belong to different religions, have different duties and commitments to fulfil but let us cohere our deeds which helps our country to succeed as well. It beats every emotion when our nation is proudly talked about and we represent it, fills our heart with pride and gives a sensation that is second to none. May our country be what all of us dream it to be and may we work for it. Jai Hind!

Love

The farther they are, the closer they seem.

The harder they are the softer they seem.

In a world full of contradictions,

It exists as a soothing addiction.

For some it’s a worship, for others it’s an art.

For some it’s the mind, for others it’s the heart.

Before it was sweet, and after turns bitter.

It’s not the feeling, but people that litter.

All that is glitter is not all gold,

How can you despise, things older than the old?

Like the chaos of a war, like the peace of a dove.

Is there a other word or do we call it love?

Brevity and rhyme..

You never can tell what a thought will do

In bringing you hate or love

For thoughts are things, and their airy wings

Are swifter than carrier doves.

They follow the law of the universe

Each thing creates its kind,

And they speed over the track to bring you back

Whatever went out of your mind.

She - And you seek heaven?

The wind had already warned but people looked surprised to the rains, some rejoiced with the weather and some looked for cover. I was in between the bliss of weather and the beauty of God, she was right in front of me. Maybe my aimless stare wouldn't go unnoticed, but I am unbothered about the world when I see her. My dislike for rains didn’t matter either, for how can I miss a guise of her. Today is when I believed that monsoon is romantic, romance I am clueless about but love, rain complements. Like being able to watch her so close is a blessing, it rained is a luck. She stood there in black, completely drenched. Her hands busy between being entangled, folded and sometimes wiping the water off her face. I wish I could be near her, where one of her friend stood. I was motionless but managed to breathe in between. The heavy sound of drops falling striking the ground, the thunder to which she little feared and the blurry vision didn’t had the mettle to distract me off her. I could feel her lips shivering, the chill of her body and the warmth within. Her hair that embraced her beautiful little face, the subtle fingers that got to hold each other and sometimes caress her face, they would be beaming with pleasure right now, for they belong to her. Her drenched clothes that hugged her would be feeling so protective right now, for they contain her. But I stand in obscurity and gaze at her with a heart as warm as the breath she takes, I look to what is not mine but someday shall be. I saw my love drenched in rain – And you seek heaven?
