As Kids..

Me and Bro' as kids

Grew up not knowing hunger
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next meal ?

Grew up with education from big institutions
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next term fee ?

Grew up wearing new froks and suits
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do for the next set of uniform ?

Grew up with no fun and frolic missed
But still
There was a question
What would we have to do to pass the next day ?

All these questions never even bothered to raise in mine or my bro's mind
But
SHE had to sit and brood over these all the while

Being widowed at thirty four
Is no big thing? if u think

With no education behind her name
With no bank savings number noted on her diary
With no moral support from any direction
With no insurance claims coming by post
With two kids, sitting there happy about bunking the annual exams
On the sudden demise of my dad.

Fourteen years has passed by.. We

Grew up not knowing any burden
But
SHE toiled hard and did it all by her own.
HATS OFF TO YOU MOM!!

The Needs..

Food, Clothing & Shelter
- This doesnt suffice my needs of life.

When divested of pride
When deprived of self-esteem
Is when I need some Faith.

When depleted of energy
When devoid of determination
Is when I need some Care.

When drained of confidence
When destitute of hope
Is when I need some Solace.

Faith, Care & Solace
- Redefined needs for life
[Atleast for mine.]

Love and be loved

What do you think is the problem with any relation ???!!!

I am more puzzled than you could...

Not because I dont know the reason, its just that I am finding it hard to pick the right one and blame it on the other.. Might be this could itself be the reason behind the problem, where one wants to keep thier hand always clean n pure and make the other guilty..
Lack of mutual obligation, in short.

I really dont know what my likes and dislikes are.. What suits me and what doesn't suit me.. Always having the third eye to judge and choose, doesn't help when it is only you on the ground to play the game of life..
Absence of self-realization, in short..

Mom is the epitome of goodness to me.. But when I forget to see her with the eyes of a child, I have this gut feeling that she never knows the outside world, she is never aware of the seasonal trends, and so I judge her to be dumb.. Is that the case?? Never.. Needless to mention the dignity of motherhood, but just because she is not in sync with the so called next-gen and not in pace with the moving trend, she cannot be cornered..
Learn to repect, in short.

How many of us realize the value of a sibling.. Brothers are not just there to help solve your mathematics problems.. Sisters are not just there to suggest your looks and dressings.. There are things much more than that.. From them you learn the virtue of caring, the virtue the giving, the virtue of sharing and at times the virtue of fighting for your share too :)
Bond with pure love, in short.

Affection needn't come only with blood relations.. Its a mysterious chemistry that you share with your friends, you are ready to lose for thier success, sacrifice for thier joy, spend your time with them not bothering any benefit out of it.. It simply makes you feel alive when they are around you.. Androgens and estrogens can be misplaced in this century, and genes doesn't or shouldn't have to prevent you from sharing that true relationship.. A closed mind is a good thing to lose.
Learn to share an unbiased friendship, in short.

We all often forget that the other person too has something called sixth sense (thanks to Night Shyamalan for atleast reminding the word to me..) and impose our thoughts on them.. Would the world still make any difference to us, if we want everyone to be as we are... Then where would the craftmanship of nature go???
Limit your freedom to ur partner's nasal tip, in short.

Respect the individuality and love the uniqueness. Each one is different from the other and got to be so.. Love and be loved.

Until then ??

Eyes are wrong
unless it has an insight vision..
Until then call it blind.

Ears are wrong
unless it can listen to silence..
Until then call it deaf.

Words are wrong
unless it can soothe a soul...
Until then call it dumb.

Actions are wrong
unless it can actuate a torrent..
Until then call it writhe.

Thoughts are wrong
unless it is out of true vision..
Until then call it inane.

Instincts are wrong
unless it can go beyond interpretations..
Until then call it hunch.

Feelings are wrong
unless it has the scent of love..
Until then call it intentional.

Pinch It

Feeling the pinch of
Loneliness...
Amidst the crowd of thousands ?? !!!!
Then
Pinch urself and see the
Liveliness
amongst the crowd of thousands...
