Something about life

So after failing royally at much talked about hundred days challenges, I decided that things that shallow are not for me. Call that sour grapes, for that is what it is. I decided to come up with something original. Few things which I had improvised and adapted had given me much pleasure and positivity that I decided to keep getting "inspired" and taking credit for it. For example, the idea of making someone happy in my version was, to pay an honest compliment to someone who is not expecting it. Now that of course had certain conditions attached with it. The compliment need not be a ground breaking one, "nice dress", "I like your hair colour" would suffice. But it should be meant and sound genuine. It worked! Now I don't know if people have cracked interviews or have saved lives just because I paid them a compliment in the morning, but it worked in my favour a lot many times. For example, the Janitor on Sydney airport who took all the trouble to f...

I will chose my own battles, and you may chose your own.   Just don't be disappointed   if they are not the same. Some people change, for the good.   And some of us don't complain. We try to make it right, And we do not explain. If we think its not going to Be right for a while, Silently we move away And walk alone a mile. If we turn back and see you, Making an effort to connect We will welcome you once again All wrongs, we will forget But if you will let us go, There are many turns on the way We will wish you good luck,   And will keep walking away! So let it be the way it is, Some stories just don't last. I am sure you will get many friends The world is way too vast! And I am happy in my own world, The way I want it to be. I don't want to be saturated like you, I just want to be free! As they say, to each Its just their own And it is going to be A battle never won!

Now all is said and done, I am left with a blue scarf As that was one piece of cloth, they did not have to tear apart From the lady with a camera to my milk man Everybody asks me how I feel repeatedly What do I say to their questions? When words have failed me completely I want to tell them that I celebrated Like any other mother, when she was born I loved her when she held my finger first And I love her even now when I mourn She was a chirpy child like any other With her pigtails and eyes so bright And she smiled every time She got her maths sums right We had many sleepless nights When she was a child How we wanted her to grow up then To get rid of an adventure so wild How were we to know, that For rest of our lives we would never sleep she was our proud and honor, but her memory has  left a scar so deep I don’t know what they saw in her Or what she did which was so wrong To see her in the group of girls returning ...

Since the time we got hitched It will a year quite soon Its amazing how everything has changed But in our minds, it always has been june! From “that’s-ma-guy” to “meet-ma-hubby” The journey has had its ups and downs I wish I had kept my temper in check, But we have had more smiles, lesser frowns! I discovered the clown in me, You found out you could be a child We thought we got to know life And we thought we were lost in wild! Marriage is made up of two people, And laughter acts as the glue Why am I coming up with such shitty rhyming Seriously, I have no clue! But I am sure you know what I mean Even when you cannot read mind! I am blessed to have you around And you are lucky as I am one of a kind! Since it’s humiliating, and difficult To go on when you have writer’s block All I would say, I loved this year With you, everyday round the clock!

Today , for once, I am complete And younger than I would ever be again Today I am breathing happily And I am free from any pain Yes, I did make some mistakes But this morning I woke up and I am alive, Proof enough that I have been forgiven So I would rejoice and revive What I thought to be an end, Is just a new beginning, it turns out So today I will laugh out loud And at the top of my lungs, shout I will free the songs trapped in my head And out of the cage, they will fly I will hold their wings and they will Carry me to the blue bright sky There I will catch some clouds and In my pockets, I will stuff them If they get little ruffled, My dreams will again fluff them And you make sure birds are chirping When I put my feet back on land I have collected all the stars to make you smile,  And I will put them on your hand And you will give me shells you collected On the blue green sea shore They will sing to us the sec...

No, I won’t answer the phones today! I am not in a mood, let’s just say! If you knock the door, I won’t be found You won’t hear, in my house, a sound! I will be watching crazy dance of happy snowflakes, Of a grown up woman, a lost child they make! Sitting on a window, I am a little girl again, Oblivious to smiles, heart breaks or pain! All I want is to soak in all I see, hear and find No glimpses of future, no memories rewind! No failures of past, no worries of tomorrows No fits of giggles, no shadowing sorrows I just want to stick my tongue out, To taste the snow, to scream and shout To make this world a place worth living, Ohh for once, I am done complaining and jiving!
