There’s a bridge across
An ocean full of miseries.
The bridge in the mist
To a paradise beyond !
I tread through that bridge
Through the darkness and haze.
Limped through the thorns
Breaking time and space !
And then I felt….
The caressing blooms
Healing bruises of my feet !
As I dwindle to that glory
Shimmering in the eternal now !

Fluttering Freedom
Glowing in Diversity,
Persevere through time!
Suppressed, knocked Voices
Thriving through obscurity,
In land of freedom!
Inherent Imperfections are true to humankind but the ability to be not enslaved by it is the true meaning of freedom.

Happy Independence Day…
I am neither a body nor It’s part. I am knowledge, creation, reason and eternal.
I am everything, yet I am nothing! I am present in each and every atom of this universe and beyond.
I am time, I am life and death. I reflect in your noble deeds and I exist in every noble thought.
Behold me by beholding your true self!
The pledge or promise that benefits the whole society must have its value.
When a man’s promise or his decision harms entire humankind, it becomes must to break that promise.
This is a peculiarity of human nature—
When a swing reaches one end, it gets pulled towards the opposite direction and begins to move towards it.
Similarly, an intelligent human being begins to have contrary thoughts the moment a task gets completed.
This very quality is both his weakness and strength. This very quality keeps a man away from sins and atrocities.
However this very quality keeps him away from achieving success!
Spider web of Dilemmas
Brooding in an uncertain mind.
Bottomless swamp of confusion,
Struggling to accumulate meaning!
It’s difficult to know my existence,
It’s difficult to generate courage.
My confusions are bigger than me
Or I am bigger than my problems?
Somehow I,
Echo through the darkness,
Stretching myself through the web,
Pulling beyond to beat my crises,
As I hum the melody of my inner voice!

Amidst shattered dreams
And puddle of tears,
Monsoon from heavens
Rains on Hopelessness!
Sorrows of the soil
Churns from deep within,
Pushing to rise above grief,
Embrace purple pleasures
And live once more!

When there is nothing left in the world worth seeing then the man looks towards God!
The making of time cannot be avoided. Only our sense of understanding it can change.
So quickly Year 2020 brought August to us that we hardly prepared ourselves to welcome it. Infact, nobody seems to care about it’s coming. The ravages 2020 brought to us is far from over.
Since we are running slow with all the fears engulfing us amid Covid 19 pandemic, we are hardly noticing the ticking of clock. But the time will not stop even if we cease to exist.
People are fed up now and the virus is peaking. They want to enjoy the freedom though time and again they are jolted by the fear of the virus which brings their sense back.
A certain incident happened which brought a rare smile on many faces. I was outside a grocery store and the keeper was struggling to persuade the crowd to maintain social distancing, they made a herd like bees.
They were relentless and stupidly ignoring the virus looming around them. I took it on myself to teach them a lesson. I marched towards the most belligerent one who was arguing at the top of his voice. I told him to calm down and follow social distancing as it is for everyone’s safety.
But then he confronted me and asked, “Excuse me gentleman, who are you to teach me wisdom? “
I chuckled and observed many faces attacking me with their looks though the shopkeeper looked at me with hope, the hope of saving him from that chaos.
I replied, “I am no one but a victim “.
Everyone got confused, they became curious and I prepared myself to give them a final blow.
I finally revealed, “I have just returned from 14 days of quarantine”.
The words echoed like fire through kerosene. As soon as I said it the most belligerent one jumped few feet backwards and the others followed too. The entire crowd was shell shocked.
They were suddenly haunted by the virus. I became their virus though I was lying. My weapon was fear which brought their senses back.
It brought smiles on the face of the shopkeeper and many onlookers. And everyone came back to their civilised best and followed social distancing .
I guess that’s the purpose of fear. It really makes us feel alive. It injects a sudden thrill which we need from time to time in order to comprehend life in its purest form.
That’s the true message of this pandemic, slow down, amend your ways and feel the precious life which we ignore very often.
Do you see what I see,
When I see through the lens,
The lens that magnifies
The goodness amidst chaos?
Do you feel what I feel
When I am Cleansed
With the potion of kindness,
Ignoring bruises of toxic thoughts?
Yes, I am transformed,
Hammered with feathery blows
The touch of Gratitude
Which reveals the treasures I have!

I am grateful to all the people who gave so much to me in spite of my ignorance. I am grateful to all the things nature has given to me in spite of my apathy.
Though I will never be satisfied and desire for more because it is my weakness to be seduced by worldly things. And for that, forgive me. I am just a mere soul trying to outshine the dark!

Scattered in darkness,
Drops Persevere in unknown,
Shines for spreading bliss.
Shimmering hardships,
Slipping on an existence,
Transcends Ecstasy.

When you get so engrossed in something which can either be a job in hand or the thing which you love to do most, you lose track of time.
Or in other words you don’t feel the passing of time and you hardly care about it’s existence when you are lost in your current job. You exist in the ‘Now’.
This is living in the present when you don’t worry about the future and don’t regret over your past. This is how a life should be lived.
A happy man is too satisfied with the present to dwell too much on the future – Albert Einstein
