The YouTube video above is based on my poem ‘ Pleasures of the path ‘ .
I shot this video during my trek to Kuari Pass and I was completely mesmerized by the beauty of the Himalayas in Autumn season. It’s difficult to experience the same by watching this video but i hope my poetry did little magic to evoke the same emotions which I felt during the trek.
Thank you for watching and being a part of my blogging journey so far.
My Dear,
Are you still there ?
Searching for me ,
In the mist of the past,
Or in the smog of future!
Maybe I am not here
In the Now,
Maybe I faded long ago.
Ever changing waves of life.
Search me deeper,
Walk through your breath,
Sail on your emotions,
fight with your memories.
Hold on your tears,
Push that ocean from deep within,
Your love churns through time,
Revealing me in the showers of eternity…

There are times when you really feel that you can’t walk anymore, you want to give up.
But then a voice comes from nature, it pushes you further and it rewards you with it’s charm.
Suddenly your energy comes back and you don’t want to stop anymore…
Yes, if you walk long and if you feel like you are going nowhere then don’t stop, ’cause you are very near to something.
Something, which may not be your goal but it will give you solace, it will give you strength, it will give you contentment.
So keep climbing and never give up.
You are distressed,
You are Anxious,
Do you know why?
‘cause you are Lost !
You are Lost in a Jungle,
An artificial world,
Built by you, standing on lies.
A concrete world i.e. unreal!
There’s a Portal out there,
Portal to Peace and tranquillity.
Wander through and embrace,
The strength and power,
The Sunshine and rain,
The life in the Lap of mother Nature….

You imagine,
To lead a perfect life.
A life full of dreams ,
And no sorrows.
But is this possible?
A life without hiccups,
And no loss ?
Or do you feel,
The wonders of life,
Without falling down?
No, absolutely not.
Your joys, your happiness,
Your ecstasy and every high
Thing feels wonderful ‘cause
You once tasted the bitterness
Of sorrows, of defeats,
Of losses.
Life is an adventure ,
Once you go down,
And then you go up.
Happiness to sorrows,
Sorrows to pain,
Pain to contentment,
And finally
contentment to joy…
Sunsets are always magical. You work hard throughout the day and when it’s time to go back home, you are immersed in the feeling of contentment.
You feel relaxed, automatically feel positive vibes and when you see the sun going down, you feel like you belong to this universe.
You have a part to play and no matter how vast this universe is, your presence and work will create a difference in this world.
A Universe comes to life,
When the sun goes down.
The stars swim with the moon,
And Dream fills them in its pond.
There’s a chaos building up,
That might grab your life.
You have to sail on calmly,
And feel the setting Sun.
Love sails long,
And it’s wave reach the shore.
Let life sail with that wave,
And your purpose shines at Shore…

Happy New Year 2023
Worries pushes you deeper,
In the whirlpool of anxiety,
Forces you to panic,
Until you lose your mind!
Things that has no presence,
It is only feeding your mind,
What’s the point of those worries,
When they may not even arise!
Let these moments come,
Close your eyes and wait,
Let them come to you, inhale
And exhale them without a trace!
When panic hits you,
And you get lost with anxiety,
Remember to slow down and feel
The moment that shines on Now.

Throughout our lives we cling onto something, waiting for that thing to give us happiness, success, or something pleasant in return.
But what we get in return? Nothing, disappointment, sadness. Maybe expectations drive us, it pushes us towards our goals, we try hard to achieve that, but in spite of so many efforts we are left with nothing.
Then comes a point of disappointment, grief, frustration because we are still attached with that goal or expectation . This is where we are harming our selves, losing the essence of our lives, we lose our happiness.
This is where we have to give up on those hopes and seek contentment.
The biggest thing in life is to understand the right time to give up on something. When it’s really needed to find our true purpose, to find true meaning of life.
Persevering , until we get exhausted and finally find contentment in our efforts.
Relationships , goals , success, money all stay here when we finally say goodbye. So why so much fuss for the attachments we live with. Give up on all those things that disturbs our stay here in this life.
Maybe this is a new beginning for that….
There is no meaning of cosmos if there is no life.
In the beginning there was only darkness in the universe and then the first generation of stars were born. They died creating first seeds of life, the elements that created us.
Our Star, Sun belongs to the later generation of stars. It made us , it created an Eden for us in the form of Earth so that we can thrive but look what we are doing now.
We don’t own this world and our greed for power has made us blind. The sacrifice of our Gods (stars) mean nothing to us and gratefulness has lost its worth.
Are we going to create order in this universe or just become another chaos of this already chaotic universe?
Is the meaning of the cosmos, the life which it created through so much of pain, would fade away in vain just like the last blip of a star?
No, this is not the way it should be. It took thousands of years for a complex machine like us to emerge out of oblivion. There is a purpose for humans for whom this universe waited for so long.
We have to realise that purpose, a greater cause to fulfil our role in the great scheme of the universe. Humans have a responsibility, some of us would go wrong , would choose the wrong path but then it would be the responsibility of others to correct them.
We gave birth to love, we created empathy, we know the power of compassion, the ingredients of order in this world. The world needs it right now, the universe expect it from us.
Let us try then….
