I am a stone,
Throw me into the river,
Or crush me into powder,
But I will continue to live.
And serve my purpose
Which is to Give,
Shape to your God
Or to create your Abode
This is my selfless life,
Eternally continue to strive
Equanimity is my suit,
My elixir to continue.

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!
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
Kailash was staring hard on the cricket ball. When the bowler was about to deliver , a sudden thought struck him. It had happened to him in the past , the same scene in which he stepped down the wicket to hit for six and ended up missing the ball which resulted into their loss. This time he changed his tactics and the history, stayed inside the crease , took a huge bat lift and then the swing. Suddenly the picture started fading away and he woke up. He was disappointed once again. He lost the same match yesterday when he stepped down the wicket and it haunted him in his dreams. He lifted the morning newspaper and tried to ignore the city sports but he couldn’t. He saw the picture and smiled , the similar bat swing. The history changed. It was a dream Luck.

A mighty river flowing relentlessly,
Persevering against the belligerent rocks and land,
Dies into the ocean peacefully.

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
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.

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!
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 !

Learning the art
Soul weaves life
Brick by brick.
Shaping the world
Guiding the light
Building the world
Brick by brick.

Contented with glory
Spirit leaves body
Brick by brick.
