I've learnt....

That money doesn’t buy a lot of things…But all that it can’t buy is influenced by money.

That being right is more important than being kind… kindness is misinterpreted and misused. But …being right cannot be.

That life is simple but our expectations make it complicated.

That opportunity for one is a choice for the other…we never lose opportunities but we lose the beliefs.

That at the end of the mountain…people are still dissatisfied because they have left their loved ones who couldn't climb.

That today, hard work seldom pays in the absence of smartness… But uphold your values in pursuit of smartness.

That every simple thing we see or experience makes us the person that we are… we keep changing every day.

That life is simple to understand but difficult to define… Things are the same with everyone…just that the definitions differ.

That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to look at the wonderful things around me amongst the difficulties, I face.

That love without time and time without love, will never show how wounds heal … but without them we don’t seem to exist.

That love and respect for a person makes him appear perfect…and absence of either will cease the perfection from him.

That emotions within us never die… what dies is the ability to emote...

That one should speak out his mind … right or wrong… polite or rude… only if the intention is not to harm.

That smile is an inexpensive way to improve your looks when you want to…it gets expensive with your attitude and people may not afford your smile.

That I can control the way I feel…it takes only a thought to let go the worrisome ones...

That an advice on request is consultation… and loved ones don’t deserve a consultant.

That the best classroom is life and the learning it brings with itself.

That greeting smiles fetch you an image of weakness…But treat people with respect and they greet you with smiles.

That as children we were the purest form of god…as we grew up we fight to see who is the purest.

That all a person needs is to be loved … but we take them for granted and look for better things only to realize what you have and others don’t.

That god does not give you anything you ask or don’t ask for… our faith in him and our quest to attain it takes us there...

That no matter how simple life requires you to be... you strive to achieve something which is perishable.

That today, we introspect less and are more futuristic… daily happenings are monotonous…monthly happenings are routine…yearly happiness is planned….. We have stopped taking life in its stride.

That days don’t count when you want to make something happen…

That benchmarks do not define who is better. You need to be different to beat the best.

Aspired Freedom...

Don’t be a wave that breaks on the shore.
Don’t be a cloud that returns no more.
Don’t be the land that is occupied with ease.
Don’t be the sand that flies with the breeze.

Stars don’t shine for a hope..
You are the star..you create the hope.
Diamonds don’t form in a day..
You are the diamond..you create the day.

Don’t be a practice that breaks with knowledge.
Don’t be the darkness it fades with light.
Don’t be a sound that deflects at a distance.
Don’t be a limit which bounds your ambitions.

Strength doesn’t come from a thought..
You are the thought...you create the strength.
Wisdom doesn’t come from a word..
You are the word...you create the wisdom.

Be the knowledge
Be the light
Live your ambition
But live it right!!!

"Both Aspired Freedom and Perception have become very close to my heart. I will never forget these two poems. It was the happiest day of my life when these two have reached its ture destination, where they truly belong to. Because this is the place where i have started thinking....MY SCHOOL"

Perception...

Days were dark..
I saw no ray of light
Days were dark..
I saw no hope in sight.

Days were dark..
Had no reason to smile
Days were dark..
Had no reason to walk an extra mile.

I knew I exist..
With nothing to hear.
I knew I exist..
With no boundaries or fear.

Thoughts changed so did the words..
Words changed so did the world..
World changed so did the view..
View changed so did I.

Now…still

Days are dark..
But I have a new ray of light.
Days are dark..
But I see the road in sight.

Days are dark..
But I have a reason to smile.
Days are dark..
But I feel its just an extra mile.

I found no difference..
I found no grace.
With all I saw…I just say
I found my existence.

Rain...

As a kid I always sensed the logic of science, what happens around us always relates to what happens beyond the sight. At the age when science shouldn't have made sense it did. Today science makes absolute sense and the human mind in me accepts it too…. but with a question. Science has come up with answers as how, when, where and what? But one question it cant comprehensively talk about is…. why?
I was sitting and watching the water pouring down the sky, it had no fear of hitting the hard earth. Every year it carries the burden of hopes of the people whom it doesn't even know. Its not one place that it rains or it is not one place it does not. Why should it carry water from places all over, accumulate it and pour it evenly across the globe? why …. a question that always remained…..
I couldn't stop myself listening to what it was saying.....

I was passing by…
I saw kids who where enjoying the wind…
They had dreams to travel the world.
They had dreams to walk with the wind.
And they had dreams to fly as high.
So I picked them up.

I was passing by…
I heard the voices of few..
They were worried about the roads ahead
They were worried about the changes they read.
But they had dreams to fly as high.
So I picked them up.

I was passing by…
I saw few lost families in the desert..
They were searching for the direction.
They were waiting for the reunion
But they had dreams to fly as high.
So I picked them up.

I was flying high…
I saw few kids below…
They were looking up for the sky..
They were looking up for wind.
But they had dreams to fly as high.
So I dropped them down

I was flying high
I saw few families…
They were waiting for the season.
They were fighting for a reason.
But they had dreams to fly as high
So I dropped them down

I was flying high
I saw people around…
They were busy with problems.
They were busy for solutions..
But they had dreams to fly as high
.....So I dropped them down.

Silence.... :-)

Song was silent….
But the music was pleasant.
Winds were silent…
But the breeze was pleasant.
I was walking along with her..
Roads were silent…
But the night was pleasant.

Words were silent…
But the talk was pleasant.
Expressions were silent…
But the feeling was pleasant.
I was not looking at her..
Eyes were silent …
But the smile was pleasant.

Night was still beautiful with the moon peeping out to see who it was..
We had lot to talk but couldn’t find a word to say..
Water was still colourful with the light reflecting her shadow..
I had lot to talk about and I knew it was a perfect day.


If silence is an expression
……………I WAS EXPRESSING MYSELF.

Silence..... :-(

No sound could ever be so loud
I was shouting but no one could hear.
No word could ever be so clear.
I was talking but no one coud hear.
No action could ever be so simple
I was describing but still….no one could hear.

Small and simple things are seen less
Beauty around but, we still search for the best.
Time in and time out..
Day in and day out..
We keep chasing the unknown.

Actions and languages are heard no more
Smiles around but, we still try to hear the rest
Time in and time out..
Day in and day out..
We keep searching the unknown.

If Silence is a language
I was speaking the unknown..
If Silence is an action
I was performing the unknown..
If silence is an expression
………………….I WAS EXPRESSING MY SELF….UNKNOWN.

Sea..

It was unending...
With no defined origination or destination.
It was unstopable...
With no defined force or power.
It was alone...
With no defined relation or excuberance.

It was calm as a darkness…
But no light could ignore it.
It was moving in a direction.
But no mountain could stop it.
It had no shape, it had no wieght.
It had no color, but… was simple and bright.

I was looking at a sea…
A sea with every part different from the other.
A sea which had the heart to accommodate anyother

A sea with no depth
A sea which had always come and left.

A sea which had no name…
A sea which everyone else call ….“Clouds”.

A Feeling....

It was pleasant all around with cool breeze brushing my face. Water was playing music from the rain drop coming down the sky to splash it. I could smell the earth from the early morning shower. Every branch of the tree was dancing to the music of the wind. Birds were greeting me with an array of beautiful songs which I could listen to all day long.
It was 6 in the morning when I woke up, I felt it was a paradise. There was a naughty smile on my face and everything in view smiled back at me. Sun was peeping out of the clouds and every ray massaged my body making me feel as feather that was about to fly with the slightest of touch. My heart was singing with all the music I could feel. I never felt this way before and have never seen a morning like this. I was thinking, singing, smiling, dancing and I felt nothing could ever stop me from winning.
Everything was so beautiful everything was so clear and everything looked so wonderful. I paused for a moment and said to my self "I am in love. "
