Not till forever.....

Not here to live forever, 

May leave before tomorrow comes, 

Life past me has been so great,

I'd have no regrets, 

But if I'm to live a tomorrow,

I know I'd be better,

Stronger,and greater

Then all days before 

I know I'd do good 

For them who love 

For them who hate

Not here to live forever

I may leave, I may leave......

Four walls

I haven't climbed the Everest
have you?
Never got a chance to witness Northern Lights
Amazon rivers still not crossed
Polar bears in north pole
Penguins waiting in south
Seeing blue earth up from moon
Create my tribe and live in wild
List goes on and on
All these things have not done
Instead I wait here
Four walls around me....

Why?

Why cry?
why crawl to your quilt and weep?
isn't sun gonna shine tomorrow?

why hurry?
why rush through the crowds mindlessly?
isn't this all a rat race?

why fight?
why be jealous when he climbs?
are you gonna live forever?

Don' wanna conquer the world

I don' want a palace with golden lines
I don' want a limo driving me to a stage
don' want million men calling ma name

don' want ma name on television screens
don' want statues made for ma name
don' want ladies dying for ma fame

A perfect life I do not seek
for trophies will gather dust in time
n' applause will fade as it flies

there will be a river with sandy shores
I will have a tree with grape n' vines
beside that there be my house
may she be the mistress, best friend and spouse
with deers and rabbits and hippos and ants
with vegan lions and bears and hyenas
mermaids swimming dancing and chilling

may there be some neighbors wise
all are nice and nights all bright
we sing around the fire so high
we sing 'till it fades in sky

life to the fullest or the simplest
or to find the meaning, a beginning
may be the simplest, still unsure..............

Give 'em all, expect none

Dear blog,
Though you consider yourself as a generous helpful person or not, you might have come across situations where it seems like even though you've done and tried your ass off something or to help someone, you ain' quite getting anything. That my friend, might be the worst mistake a wise man would ever make. If you're helping out someone don' help 'em out with something in the back of your head. If you're doing something, always do it from your heart. In a simple day to day act or even in a big land fair donation, don' expect even a simple thank you. They might appreciate it if they're nice enough, that's jus' their business. Jus' don' give a shit of what the others might say, good or bad, if you're doing it from your heart n' if you know that it is right. Bottom line, "Give 'em all, expect none"
Respect.

Not every song lives forever, not every song goes on ma blog :)

Song : Everybody's free to wear sunscreen

Artist : Baz Luhrmann

Genre : Spoken word

Why on ma blog : Listen for yourself and see

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 2007, wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will never understand the power
And the beauty of your youth until they've faded
But trust me, in twenty years
You will look back at photos of yourself

And recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you
And how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine

Don't worry about the future or worry that know that worrying
Is as affective as trying to solve an algebra equation
By chewing bubble gum
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things
That never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday

Do one thing every day that scares you, sing
Don't be reckless with other peoples' hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours, floss
Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself

Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretch
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what to do with your life

The most interesting people
I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to knees, you'll miss them when they're gone

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the "Funky Chicken"
On your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own, dance
Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Brother and sister together will make it through
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out, whenever I can

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they are your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get, the more you need the people
You knew when you were young
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft

Travel, accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old
And when you do, you'll fanaticise that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders

Respect your elders, don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
But you'll never know when either one will run out
Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're forty
It will look eighty-five
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it

Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of
Wishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off
Painting over the ugly parts and recycling for more than it's worth
But trust me on the sunscreen

Brother and sister together will make it through, oh yeah
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know you've been hurting, but I've been waiting to be there for you
And I'll be there just helping you out, whenever I can

Everybody's free, oh yeah, everybody's free, oh yeah, oh, to feel good

Moments

Drifting through the green shadows
I felt perfection
Wanted to hold on
But flew away it did

Moments come
They fade away
Memories last blurred in mind
Uncertain, untracable

Was yesterday all a lie

What will tomorrow be
Questions ransacking
Uncovered, unanswered

May be it was all a lie
May be there is no tomorow
But this moment is truth

It ain' no piece of lie

Clock is ticking
Graying my hair day by day
Still I try to live this moment
cos the next.....

Living under the sky

Is there more to what we see?
May be we are moving in circles
Trying to find the end or start
Still failing day by day
Trying to define perfection itself
We are failing day by day

Up above is the sky
Endless sky 'till stars all fall
We all live under the same sky
Why reach for an endless lie
Why conquer all you reach
cos
We all will live and all will die

Humanity is what I care
Share all you bear to show you care
Tomorrow may not ever come
For then thou shall regret none
Life is not to live to the top
For in a moment you may drop

Wings to fly

He did not own a car
But all day drove his feet
He did not have a degree
But the wisest I've ever seen

He says
We do not need to cry
When moments pass away
I may only be a man
But I know how to smile
Not when one is falling
But to bring him high
Life is what you are given
All will not say aye
They will move away
But you will still see light
Help 'em my child
For tomorrow you may die

He did not have wings to fly
But he was merry as sky

Perfect, not really perfect

Dear blog,
Sometimes you just wonder around waiting for a perfect moment but in truth, just ask yourself whether you've ever had a moment which you can actually call perfect? There is always something wrong or something off the hook in any moment in our life. May be that's jus' something that we have to live with.

Bitter truth : there ain' such a thing called perfection. It's merely a fantasy in our mind which we keep on dreaming about. Nothing perfect in life will come along, as one wise man those days said you jus' gotta "Take the moment and make it perfect".

Peace out.

Life is beautiful

Dear Blog,
Yah, we humans, one moment fighting each other, the next running after one another, then trying to be perfect which actually does not exist and after everything's done trying to help someone till your guts run out. Good or bad when we look at it, it jus' seems like this weird sick play which we're forced to live.

But there comes this moment in life, when you feel lonely and you try to look around and find out that everything around you might not be perfect but there is some unexplainable beauty in 'em. I mean, jus' go outside to the roads n' try to look around with an open third eye. At first it sure seems like some bunch o' people struggling here and there. But is that the only thing you can see in it?
I donno man, i mean when you look deeper, everyone and each of 'em is trying their best. It's jus' beautiful man. That might quite not be the word, but it is.

How do you explain the sunrise or the set? Yah sure, even I din' notice 'em until some while back but there's something beyond the sunrise or the set that they explain scientifically. There lies some kidda beauty.

Final conclusion, jus' don' try to argue life man. I mean, I think that's not how a wise man would do it. You get the life you're given. Jus' try to see the beauty in it. Use your third eye and I'm pretty sure you'll find something that you din' do before.
Peace out.

Dear Future Me

Dear Future Me,
Waddup man? Just talking to you, unless you're dead or something. Gotta say, the things going on right now are pretty awesome. Hope you're doing awesome out there as well. Have got some stuff which I ain't quite sure at the moment. Hope you've gotten though 'em fine.
How's future mom, future dad, future sis and all?
Hope you're being the man of the family now. Those people mean a lot man.
Hope you've gotten to some fixed path other than all these everchanging-neverending changed that I'm going through right now.
and how'd it go with that chick you've always been talking bout? you got up to anything with her?
Hope you haven't gotten screwed any of my travel the world and live free and help people and all those plans over there. Yah, you'd better not. But yeh man, I forgive you if you have, hope it's for the best.
Do you still wonder why we all are here? or have you found out why?
Haven't gotten to smoking or drugs or any shit right? Yeh man, they're sick. That dude from Heroin diaries, eventhough he goes to rehab he gets his life on the rope in the end. And that dude from the school, poor bugger, he thinks he's living wise but ain' gotta clue where he's going on with his life.

So anyways gotta go man. Hope you've got a six pack now. Ye that's the stuff. Keep on rocking bro. Will get to you soon.
Later n'
peace out.
Less awesomer than you,
Me.

Blue

Feel so hungry
nothing to eat
Feeling the thirst
nothing to drink
Had a rough day
no one to talk about

Looking at the horizon
What are we doing here?
How did we get here?
May be the answers are in ocean's whispers

Sun is down
Am i in misery?
Looking for chances
Thinking how to fly with the wind

What if I blackout?
What if the tide runs me over?
Atleast i tried......

You think you're doing fine, but you're just plugged into the wall....

Dear blog,
There comes such moments in life which everything seems to be perfect and where you find that you're just "Livin' it".But then again a moment after that you find that it ain' quite what you've been expecting for.
The thing is,that there ain' quite a thing called you doing fine. I mean, it's just passing the moment man. Sometimes, somehow you gotta think that you're doing fine. Life might not quite be what you've been expecting all the way but you just gotta keep thinking that there's always gonna be a tomorrow no matter what.
It's just bout looking into everything in a third eye. Not too overwhelmed nor too down on everything.

What I'm actually try to say is that there's nothing called a perfect moment or a completely blue moment filled with sorrow. It's just another moment man. just another moment....
Peace out
