He is certainly a work of art.

With secrets buried inside his heart.

Of a childhood nobody ever wants.

His hostile friends taunting him

And things of past haunting him

Goes hand in hand.

What feels safer to him than just disappearing

While, fighting battles fearfully, all alone

He holds the power of beguiling people,

With that rather sweet smile of his.

A thousand times over he chooses not to speak.

He is not weak, weeks after weeks he stands still Just another introvert he is.

*If deception was an art, he is the artist*

A Little More?

What is it about winter that keeps piercing my heart?

Is it just the fleeting moment of joy, which is hard to forget?

The cold gusty wind now reminds my partially converted cold heart

Of all the hurt I had to go through, and how I was the only one to regret.

Now that things are quite pleasant

And I don’t think of you often

I find two lovers peacefully holding hands, sitting underneath a wood.

Motionlessly, stood I trying not to interrupt the intensity of their captivating moment.

I have been told infatuation it was

“You just liked him a little more, that’s it”

A little more? Sure?

Sigh

Dhundhla jaayein jo manzilein Ek pal ko tu nazar jhuka Jhuk jaye sar jahan wahi Milta hain rab ka rasta Teri kismat tu badal de Rakh himmat bus chal de Tera saathi, mere kadmon ke hain nishan

It’s okay to have blurred, unclear destination at times. It’s absolutely fine and natural. Success is not the only thing that we receive every time. I might sound too bolloywood-ish, but it is what it is. There are stages in life we commit mistakes, knowingly/ unknowingly, but that’s not the end of everything, try working on things and getting out of the problem than being all hopeless and cursing your fate for past deeds. I do very strongly believe everything happens for a reason, you might not find it positive all the time but eventually you will get to know, exactly why you had to go through things you did not want to.

Hold on, breathe in and out, for a while, lower you head, The Almighty got your back.

You are the one who holds the power to change your destiny, be courageous enough, and work harder than ever, God will look after the rest.

Whenever giving up crosses your mind, spell these lines in your mind “ Rakh himmat bus chal de, tere saathi, mere kadmon ke hain Nishan” God isn’t tangible, you might not get to see him but you can feel him clearing paths for you. Things cannot be good/ bad all the time. Gradually it will all settle.

Khud pe daal tu nazar, Haalaton se haar kar Kahaan chala re Haath ki lakeer ko, Modta marodta, Hai hausla re Toh khud tere khwabon ke rang mein Tu apne jahan ko bhi rang de Ke chalta hoon main tere sang mein Ho shaam bhi toh kya Jab hoga andhera Tab paayega dar mera Uss dar pe phir hogi teri subah Tu na jaane aas pass hai khuda

Do you still find yourself helpless? Everyone’s fate is twisted, so is yours. I know how it feels to work hard and then fail terribly. But I would like to quote Sundarlal Drivedi here.

“Nanhi chinti jab dana lekar chalti hai, chadhti deewaron par, sau baar fisalti hai, manka vishwas ragon me sahas bharta hai, chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna na akharta hai | aakhir uski mehnat bekar nahi hoti, koshish karne walo ki kabhi haar nahi hoti |’’

Add colors to your own canvas, the color of your dreams, achievements, failures.

The compilation of our flaws and perfection makes us what we are.

Ft: Changes

I seldom think

Yesterday it was when I first went to school, and did not have the slightest hint of how I would survive 4 long hours without my mother. Within a blink of an eye, everything around me changed, so did I. Time flew at the speed of light in a vacuum. Next week I will be leaving to start an entirely different journey, the journey of building myself. Mixed emotions are flowing through my veins. A part of me is quite excited to get out of this place and start afresh. And the other part of me carries a heavy heart of bitter sweet moments. I have had to change many schools since childhood, in the course of action I almost lost touch with some of my closest people, partings are not what I fear, too shallow right? I do. Having lost so many people and bonds, I am kinda prone to it, it hurts but I know how to deal with it. From crying over minor fights with friends in childhood to acting like I don’t give a damn we all grew up.

Lately I have been going through the #dealingwithchanges phase of my life.
