Mind vs Heart

Mind follow rules
Heart forgive those
Who break them

Mind does calculations
Heart accept
Miscalculations

Mind is always cautious
Heart becomes
Obnoxious

Mind is often scientific
Heart follows
Philosophy

Confusing is their
Disagreement
You become invincible
When you agree with both

We

We are the
Puppets of unknown Divine
Our strings are attached
To space and time

Our existence is
Just a blink of moment
Just a tiny component
Of the infinite cosmos

Our lives are
Like a beautiful sunshine
In the chaotic
And dark universe

We are born
In a pandemonium
Of stars and planets
One dies and the other is born.

Struggle


It’s difficult
To handle the
Load of expectations

It’s tiring
To push yourself
Harder through the crowd

It’s frustrating
To fail again and again
Throughout your endeavours


It’s painful
To finally give up
With your efforts go in vain

It’s extremely hard
To accept the life
The way it is

Because Life is a struggle
And to struggle
Is Life.

Death


It is a wish
Of an ailing body
Felicity is nothing
But renouncing everybody
But its misery is
Missing somebody
But the pain
Is beyond its capacity

It is a dilemma
Of that ailing soul
You loose in both
Whether you die or live more
But to live
Is to shed your tears
And your heart knows
Nothing but fears

To die with peace
Is the desire
Of that being
Mourning is just
A moment that will squeeze
So it decided
To say good bye
The memories stays
But the body
Bids final good bye

(in the memory of my mother)

Failures


The agony of failures, the misery of a failed man is extremely hard to comprehend. After many failures, he gains nothing but pessimism and frustration. It is very difficult to get out of that jail and start fresh.


You try to lift yourself up again. You try to be optimistic about your failures and you can only do that by constantly looking for ways or things to inspire yourself. You try to persuade yourself that this time you will get.


If you fail again, then what?


It is quite human that after years of failures you loose hope, you loose energy or motivation to start again. You think that you have fallen into the deepest pit. That is the hardest place to get out of.


But you have to live and for that you must try to stand up, again. You will be hit hard with those punches life throws at you but you have to survive. You have to try to motivate yourself.


But how to motivate yourself?


Maybe, failures are nothing but a state of mind. It could be a tiny ripple in the mighty ocean. You should try to live your life by doing things you love most, your hobby (or create a hobby). Sometimes you loose your way and forget about the things you love most. It is time to get back to that. The secret of happiness is something to do.


Write, sing, play guitar or do whatever you love to do. I bet, you will find solace in That. When it comes to me, writing soothes me, music heals me.


Life is a long journey. Let’s complete this journey together by making connections. This is the right path towards happiness and contentment.


Stay happy, readers!

Mountain

At the top of Kanyal hills, Manali

O mighty mountain
You are so cold
But your icy breeze
Blessed by life and soul

O misty mountain
You are so static
But your aura
Is so emphatic

Stand tall like a mountain
Against the fierce gale
Persevere like a mountain
Against belligerent snow and rain

What is Patriotism?

Patriotism is the devotion
Of the soldier in the front
Patriotism is the integrity
Of the citizens upfront.

Patriotism seeps through
An honest hardworking man
Patriotism is the respect
For every human

Patriotism is the devotion
Towards your people and nation
Patriotism unites generation
It is the fight against discrimination

A beautiful day in the woods

Drenched in the dirt
Of corrupted society
Suffocated in the smoke
Of polluted city
I longed nothing but
To get out of my anxiety

Far away in the mountains

I walked with the river
Swam with the icy breeze
Felt my life, my sunrise
With the sun shining
Through the misty pines
And snowy peaks.

Book Review – An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

A very fast paced, emotional, gripping and thought provoking story written by Hank Green, brother of John Green. Probably that was the reason I bought this book but I ended up becoming a fan.

This book is so densely crafted like there is a whole new city inside a dream. There are puzzles to solve in that city which are at various locations, one of them is under the tile of a restaurant and it is very important to solve those puzzles because the whole world is dependent on that. You will be compelled to get sucked inside the imagination of the writer plus there is a twist in the end. Maybe a sequel is coming.

Fame comes with a lot of responsibility, it has the power to mould humanity. Protagonist, April May constantly fights with her inner turmoil and fears to create a meaning in this world by giving purpose to herself and humanity. Her struggles, her journey is so deeply written that you will fall in love with her in the end. This work of fiction is perfectly mixed with strong emotions and you will come across some enlightening quotes as well. On of them is-

We are each individuals, but the far greater thing is what we are together, and if that isn’t protected or cherished, we are headed to a bad place.

It is a perfect work of fiction which is equally touching. Overall a remarkable debut by this author!

Paradise Song

In the world of Hatredness, Full of agony and restlessness
Sing me a song of Paradise

In this world of Cruelty
Where faith is not humanity
Sing me a song of Paradise

Where humanity creeps
In the valley of corrupt powers
Sing me a song of paradise

That song of love
That love Bathed in sacrifice
Sing me that song of Paradise !

Sing
