Left, Right and Straight!!!

Take a left…Take a right..no no just go straight!! We come across such situations almost every time we travel. It sounds so funny that I relate everything to anything at times or I just love to see it that way.

At school, we had this weird exercise of matching the left section to the right by drawing an arrow or a line. If the book said all that you marked were correct, you get the full marks or else your teacher looks down upon you as a piece of crap who could not even match simple things. Wait…what about your friends? Ha I remember I always had a good fortune of being around with the ones who did well in their exams and soon after we got our marks they had a grin on their face…”you are so stupid man…this is just this way…its so simple”.

My teacher was right, my books were right and my friends were right too. But I had this question, why was I wrong in matching those small things? Or was I really wrong? A bat matches to a boy playing with it, the same bat matches to a ball with which it is being played, the same freaking bat matches a playground in which it is being used and the same god damn bat matches another boy who has interchanged it from the first!!! I was wrong because the book said so, my teacher and friends were right because again the book said so. Few steps relate to everything we do and how we presume it...We were taught that a line was the border, beyond which there is something bad and unknown. All those who crossed those lines were bad and all who did not are good people like us???

But who really defined it that way? No disrespect to them but when I look from their point of view I feel they must have seen the consequences themselves and were trying to help others by telling them that it was difficult to travel on a path which 95% of people dint and it was tough. But again the interpretation comes down to an individual who likes what he is doing. I guess we change our course to get away from something difficult or see ourselves happy or at times see the ones we love happy!!!

Take a left

What do you see? Grave yard!!!

Lets try it again…

Take a right

Lets try it again

Take a left
Take a left
Go straight

How is it now? I am on the wrong way!!!

"I am so confused…
You confused me
I don’t have aims
You molded it with your directions"

Somewhere, somehow…few paths are lost in finding the right direction or allowing your directions to be shown by others. You commit mistakes we come back and we try to start a new journey. You know what is right and what is left in you. You are the best judge of your heart, mind and your situation. If you are right then you are right because you have your reasons. If you are wrong then you know it better than anyone else. May be judging the path by consequences will not fetch you your life!!!

My Life...What the hell are rules??

I wanna jump up and down

I wanna run round and round

I wanna raise singing loud

I wanna drop dancing down

Views will not be defined

Fun will not be confined

Freedom will have a meaning

I will have a new feeling

I wanna fly high and high

I wanna fall feeling light

I wanna swim breathing slow

I wanna play cheating right

Raising Sun will be loved

Sleeping Moon will be adored

Mornings will be realized more

Chirping birds will be heard

I wanna fight for a toy

I wanna sleep like a kid

I wanna lie for a chocolate

I wanna stay with my pets

Sky will be beautiful

Stars can be counted

Rains will be enjoyed

Time will be sensed

I wanna pray for no reason

I wanna feel every season

I wanna sit without a thought

I wanna live forgetting all the rules!!!!

Endless...

“Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost…happies the endings” agree to agree or agree to disagree; we might have our own reasons and views to look at it. We would like to see everything end in a happy way..lets not call it human, even aliens might have these feelings like ”lets kill humans and take control of the earth”..happies the endings for them.

“Pursuit of happiness” one of my favorite movies…so true, you can only pursue certain things because they are endless and you will never be able to reach the end of it. Have you ever weighed the pros and cons of you being happy? I never did until I started writing this. Does it matter? May or may not be…depends on each of our perspectives.

One of my professors at college said…”every advantage has a disadvantage related to it”. We are fine when advantage is at our end…disadvantage gets transferred to some other shoulder right!!! I guess happiness also has advantage and disadvantage..when we get happy, knowingly or unknowingly someone else gets sad for the same reason. You win a race...who is bothered who lost it. One action gives endless results, we end up with one of it.

Is that relativity? You can’t keep thinking about it because if you do…. you will never move on…

Stupidity is endless

Being stupid may not

Silence is endless

Being silent may not

Believing is endless

Our limitations may not

Assumptions are endless

Assuming the facts may not

Few actions are chosen

Few steps are owned

Few results are lost

Few reactions are bound

Dreams are endless

Reality may not

Ambitions are endless

Aiming it may not

Love is endless

Life.. may not

Freedom is endless

Owning that space may not!!!

Take a chance....

Too many things go on in your mind. Too many brain cells working at the same time I guess. At times, confusion dominates you. You don’t know what to do...something stops you from doing things which you really want to or may be the other way around. May be, you do what you always wanted to or you don’t do certain things no matter how important they can get.

We always cover it up by lot of justifications to ourselves and to an extent involving others.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction…Newton’s third law. He must have written that from experience and not only from his experiments.

No matter how, what, where, when and why we take decisions…few steps always fall short. An extra step which we could have taken but did not... ends up as a...regret!!!

Few can be forgotten, few can be left alone...few can be chosen to walk along.

Few can be ignored, few can be stored and very few can be repaired!!!

I have walked over it
I have left it alone
I know my heart
I have no regrets

I chose to stay away
I couldn't dare to throw it away
I know my heart
I have no regrets

I feel no pain
I think no more
I know my heart
I have no regrets

I convinced myself
I cheated my thoughts
I know my heart
I have no regrets

I reasoned my lies
I ignored my eyes
I know my heart
I have no regrets

It started to grow
It waited no more
I know my heart
I din’t want to have regrets

I knew what I had to do
I now… loved it too
I now … know my heart
I now…have no regrets

Busy lives do get busy when you keep it the way they are.Bitter regrets get really bitter when you choose to ignore. Can regrets be repaired? May be Yes...to an extent. You may not be able to get the time back but you can always "Take a chance" to get back a lost smile.

Void thoughts....

It happens so often...you sit quietly in a space that belongs only to you and think about... nothing.

Peace is a measure...where no sound seems to be good enough to catch your attention and no one seems to bother you more than ever...

Random thoughts come and go. Nothing specific strikes you or keeps you occupied. At times we don’t even remember what we were thinking about after we break the silence. Time passes by with thought after a thought; they just flow from one to the other…at times related to each other and many a time unconnected….

I hear a song of the wave
Moving up and moving down
I hear the water splash a stone
Moving fast and slowing down

I hear the winds blowing in
Raging up and raging down
I hear the trees dance to a tone
Raging sad and dancing along

I hear the birds flocking together
Flying up and flying down
I hear them sing for their mother
Flying hard and crying alone

I hear the rain tripling down
Tumbling hard and tumbling down
I hear them sing out of joy
Tumbling loud to a place...they belong

I hear my thoughts running around
Growing up and going light
I hear them say not to bother
its just a passing thought and not here to bind!!!

Different ...Yet so Similar

One of the bold posts of this season..Why bold? I never generalised few aspects of life but generalising LIFE itself is a bold move..Yes I do agree that there are differences from one person to the other but I guess only the thought process differs.

I always thought everyone had the same set of good or not so good things happening in their life. May be...Time, Frequency, Priority and Extent of such things differ from one to the other. I found putting this in words was equally tough. I rather write a book than a small post but I figured out a way to still express it as simple and brief manner as I can.

Why can someone not define Life or Love and how difficult was it? Guess there were lot of definitions but no one thing was agreed upon, as all of them were so true yet so different at diversified moments of each our beautiful lives.

I realise it is not about defining it but it is all about understanding it... which each one us do... but in our own ways!!!

Cycled Life?

You!!!...You??

Changing own sides....

If being right is wrong than being wrong at times is so truly right. People and their ideologies, guess everything for them is weighed in their attitude of right or wrong rather than a discussion of agreement or disagreement.

Mom used to wake me up when it was time for school…so wrong!
Mom woke me up on my birthday for the same reason…so right!

Same person looks at the Same things differently at different situations.

Do we change daily? As everyone thinks they do with their so called experiences? Or do we just adapt to the situations which suits us the best, which were unfair earlier? Oops is that selfishness or just….Human?????

Wrong is right
Right is wrong
Everything seems one
Am I confused?

I am so complicated
Nothing seems true
Right is wrong
Wrong is right

I love you or is it you too?
You are good or so it seems to
Wrong is right
Right…is it wrong?

You are the one
May be not the only one!
Oops it is wrong… Right?
Or is the right…wrong?

That was the best
May be I can check out the rest
Wrong is wrong
Will it be right?

Found something better…
Naa…just another something
Right...they are wrong
May be one is right

What a dream!!!
Or am I dreaming a lot?
Which one is right?
And which is not wrong?

Wrong is wrong or right is wrong
When do we know where they belong
Right is right or wrong is right
It’s all in the mind and how we sight

Right is wrong and right is right
Are they one or were they ever none?
Wrong is right and wrong is wrong
Guess, this is how we loved it for long.

For SALE...SOLD!!!

Ever wondered how we get sold every moment of our lives?

We sell ourselves... in need of emotions.. happiness... fun.. love... hatred...fame...

"I will do this...I should get happiness out of it"
"I did this...I deserve the fame"
"If I do this..will i get love?"
"If i did this..will i get emotions i need?"
"You got to sell your skill...to get the job"

We do a lot of things in need of something in exchange..though not conscious...we still sell ourselves. Wonder why people talk about conscience and regret when it comes to money!!! It sounds funny...
