Young Soul

Even heroes die

Dear mom,

I failed

May be for the right reasons but

I failed

I thought I could move great mountains

Fly beyond the horizon

I thought the time was right

Not yet mom

Not yet

Got more to learn

But the memory will remain

Today, tomorrow and forever

I shall not regret, no I shall not

But I tried mom, I did

Though some say it is stupidity

I tried

Sorry that I hurt you mom

Sorry

An apology cannot replace tears

But it is all I have

Love,

Son.

Burry me in a barren land

Dear mom,

Oh I’m scared

Thousand heads passing me

Without a hello or goodbye

I am all alone in the sea

Not knowing what to do

Now I feel real life

Life as it is

Still I have not given it up

Still I have some faith with me

But I am scared mom

Love,

Son.

Through the misty clouds

Dear mom,

I’m sorry

I did not listen to you

I could not believe your words

But I’m not a fool

Today I may be nothing

But I believe I know something

Now I’m leaving

Where you rubbed my hair

Where I called home

But I did not betray you

I did not lie to you

I did not let you down

Try to remember

The moment I first said Amma

And the moment I said goodbye today

Now I’m going through

The misty clouds of sky

Recalling, reminiscing

I will try

I will fight

I will rise

I might stray

I might cry

I might fail

But what matter the most is

What you’ve learned on the way

Just give me one chance

To prove you what I am

To try for the impossible

Love,

Son.

              They always do

Loner's life offers a lot

               But I'm not a coward

Brave from the heart

               A lion with a smile

Many rivers to cross

               Sure not where to start"

There's a world I see.....

Dear blog,
There's a world I see. All the people running. All the people fighting. All the people crying.
I do not understand why.
There's a world I see. All the people laughing. All the people loving. All the people caring.
I do not understand why.

Where are they running? Why are they fighting? Why are they crying?
I question why.
Why are they laughing? Why are they loving? Why are they caring?
I question why.

I have to run. I have to fight. I have to cry.
They tell me why.
I have to laugh. I have to love. I have to care.
They tell me why.

Problem unsolved. Life unfound. Meaning unknown.
A deer after the mirage, an unseen tomorrow tied in to the mind.

Learn to be calm and you will always be happy...........

Dear Blog,

Today, I was kidda doing some things that I do not usually do. And when I was recollecting back at the end of the day, I realized what has been wrong. And that main thing is “Calmness”.

I’d like to define calmness as the key to everything. As long as you’re calm, your mind and your body is always ready for anything. Always try to practice calmness in your life and there will be actually a day that you will be always smiling. Smiling outwardly and inwardly. If this is well practiced, there would not be a day known as “Miserable day/Fed up day/Screwed up day or F***ed up day”.

Always remember that getting calmness interrupted is like getting the equilibrium or the balance of your brain out of the line. Then your thinking procedure would not be normal anymore. For then, even you wouldn’t know your actions until it comes back to normal.

So my dear friend, always remember,

“Learn to be calm and you will always be happy”

Cheers :)

We shall overcome

Dear Blog,

Problems, who doesn’t have them? But how many of the people just let their problems to dominate their lives and live doing nothing?

What made me actually write this was some talk given by my mom. She told the story of her life and at the same time I too recollected the things that I’ve done in life.

It might be true that you are very poor and do not have anything to achieve those dreams that you are dreaming of. As I said before, what most of the people do is just let their problems dominate their lives and say goodbyes to those sweet dreams. What I feel is that, you can almost achieve anything in this life as long as you don’t give up.

Previously I used to think that as I’m not in very much of a “Lucky” family with all the riches and with a background of some “Narrow thinking” people, I wouldn’t be able to go to those dreams that I wish day and night for. But , then somehow I realized that there is absolutely nothing in the world that could be considered as “Impossible”. So, hopefully, I’m in the process of “Overcoming”.

Just sing daily and urge to yourself,

“We shall overcome”

We shall overcome

We shall overcome

We shall overcome…………”

Cheers :)

Change, Change, Change

When you are down, Change.

When all the hopes are gone, Change.

When all the blames are on you, Change.

When life seems upside down, Change.

Change. Change. Change.

The world keeps on turning, the wheel keeps on moving,

The seed keeps on growing, once an infant became an Einstein,

Dearly beloved,

Day today, is only a fact,

Tomorrow will knock before the light turns off,

Is it the “Success” that you are seeking?

Then,

Change.

Forget your demented past,

Forget the failures before,

Burry all the heart breaking love stories in the sands of time,

Once killed a man? Give life to a thousand more.

Dream. Dream. Dream. Always dream.

Work. Work. Work. For them to come true.

Fail. Fail. Fail. To broaden your horizons.

Try. Try. Try. For one day you will fly.

Impossible is nothing. What you can do is anything.

Now I know this secret of life.

With “Change” I will find life.

With “Change” I will know death.

With “Change” I will change destiny.

With “Change” I will create history.

Two worlds, one family

Dear Blog,

This is just some freaky thought that came into my mind, well…yet, seems to be very true to me.

Just think about your life for a moment, your memories, your actions and your dreams, past, present and future, all moving forward along with time. Somehow, everyone seems to be moving on with the life they are given.

As the approach to this let us consider a life of a football player.

• Really good at the grounds
• Totally outgoing
• Dating all the sorts of “chicks”
• “Dude….what the hell is gravity?”
• Etc. etc.

So, likewise, such a life moves forward. He lives on in his world.

Then a life of a “Nerd”

• Getting all straight A’s
• Einstein and Newton are his lifesavers
• Parties are of no use as he cannot apply any Newtonian physics there
• Etc. etc.

I just brought out two contrasting characters that we meet in our everyday life. The football player lives in his world and the nerd lives on in his world. One can criticize on them and there lives giving out pros and cons, but according to what I’ve learned so far in life, the both of their lives are just beautiful. Likewise, we all are living the lives that we have got and every and each one of them is beautiful if we are seeing the beauty in it in the proper way.

My sister, she is very much interested in cats and other animals. She mostly spends her time with those creatures. She often says that she wants to feed and keep all the cats in the whole world.

As you see, we all are living in our own worlds of mind while all being on a single planet. But all being connected to each other in one way or another. Probably that’s exactly why I titled this “Two worlds, one family”.

At the same time, someone might ask why I just tried to bring out a fact that merely exists. As now we know that all the people are living in their own worlds and as we know that every and each life is beautiful and gifted, why not start thinking of taking away jealousy and anger over other’s lives? Why not start helping some other person who is drowning in his own world?

Cheers :)
