There was a time when my Mornings were fine,

Evenings were bright and Nights did shine.

Someone kept inquiring about my wine and dine,

Someone was so concerned whether or not I am fine..??

From frequent chit chats to long talking hours,

where splendid things we discussed,

& small disagreements we had.

Ample of background music , 

but it could never distract.

Be it the horns of the cars,

or the policeman at the traffic signals.

Be it the enormous call waiting's,

or some nearby friend's yelling.

Be it  some kid's laughter or cry,

or some friends naughty winks or wry.

Everything was so much in flow...

Nothing...Never so Dry.

Equations have changed, things seem clumsy,

Everything has turned upside down, tupsy turvy.

No Chit Chat...No more sound...!!!

Silence is what is all around...!!!

Barring your words that echo and haunt my mind,

Barring your memories that play with continuous rewind.

No more horns or signals,

No more callings or yelling's,

No more winks or cries,

No more Hello or Hie's...!!

All  I heard was the Unsaid 'GoodBye'.

Nobody to take care of and to take care.

Nobody who could let me share.

Nobody who pours out his sorrows on my ears.

Nobody to listen to what I am saying.

Nobody to seek my well being.

Nobody to fight with or fight for.

Am I thinking too deep & being overly mature..??

or is it normal because this is how I find my cure..??

Unspoken Words...Unsaid things...Unexpressed Feelings.

But, some understood Emotions...!!!

This is how Silence works.

It really speaks louder than words.

Just understand what Silence spreads, 

For that "Silence Must Be Heard   "

"Maa - A child's everything"

MAA, a self explanatory word that includes the world in it...yes I use the word "MAA" and not Mother even while using english as the mode to communicate because the feelings and emotions the word Maa arouses in me, Mother doesn't though it means the same. Nevertheless, this is not a Maa vs Mother kinda thing, it is just to write something about the one who is so divine and pure, as no one else can be, about the one who replaces God on Earth. She is the visible God. Respect Her. Value Her. Treasure Her.

She is the one who carries a baby in her womb for nine long months, goes through a hell lot of pain happily in order to let the civilizations flourish, so that life could exist. For the entire world, even for the child himself/herself, the age is counted from his/her birthday but for a Mother he/she is always nine months older than his/her age. For her, our existence comes into being a lot earlier. She has lived every moment of that period. From then on, her child becomes her priority.

She is the only one who feeds a child even when she is rewarded with a kick on her bosom. She is the one who does all our daily chores better than we ourselves can do, even though we sometimes reward her with harsh words, bitter tone and anger. Dare to do such similar acts with any damn person, how so ever close, you will only get hatred and hurt in return. On the contrary a Mother gives us all the happiness possible in this world, even her own share for that matter. She has to put in a lot of effort, hard work and concern for her child's upbringing, good education, better health, proper hygiene, the tastiest food, best toys, the most beautiful dress, and everything else her child demands, needs, wants and desires.

She sacrifices the biggest part of her dreams, desires and happiness for the very small small wishes of her children. She lets forego even the things or dreams which she would have cherished or longed for when she was a girl, or a young lady without expecting anything in return. How can she have such a big heart? A heart for which the smallest wish of her child is more important than the biggest of her dreams. Such sacrifice, immeasurable in any terms or units is highly ignored and taken for-granted. Even then she doesn't regret or stop making such sacrifices rather continues to do so and makes even bigger ones, if required. HATS OFF to 'Her'.

Her love knows no bounds. Her concern has no limits. Her unmatched care, the endless support she extends are our real strengths if one understands from that perspective. But ironically, we don't and even if we do, we take it to be our right, which indeed is a blessing, for which we should be thankful, accept it with folded hands, touch her feet and say a "word of Thanks" instead what we do is put on her all our tensions, frustration and irritation.And, honestly, it will bring a smile to every mother and nothing can be more beautiful than that. No feeling is more wonderful than to see your mother smiling because of you. It not only gives her all happiness but also gives you the Strength...strength to fight against all the evils, stand against all odds, stand against and fight all the competition and emerge as a winner.  Just think for a moment, don't we expect that our efforts should be noticed and acknowledged. Yes, of course we do. Then a Mother also rightfully deserves it. Think Over..!!!

She makes us what we are. She know us inside out, from likes to dislikes, whether it be food, clothes, gifts, everything. She makes our lives so very comfortable. We can only concentrate on  our core aspects whether studies or job because she is the one who takes care of all the other things. Be it cooking food, washing clothes getting them ironed and back to their place, polishing shoes. She does all  our work from every small bit to the biggest part. She plays a lot many roles in our lives-

•  Teacher - She is the first teacher to every child. From the basic ABC to the biggest lessons of Life, she teaches us. She is the one who makes us familiar with the worldly people, formalities, customs, rituals and rites. She teaches us how to eat, sleep, walk, talk and for that matter any sort of behavioural attributes.
• She's is perfect mentor, philosopher and guide. The only person on Earth who will always show you the right path without any selfish motives. So selfless is her Love towards us.
• She's a best friend, in whom the biggest of secrets can confide. One can share the deepest secrets with her being sure of no leak. She will crack jokes to make you smile. She forgot all her troubles and problems to make you smile in the early years of your life. So, isn't it our duty now to put a smile on her face permanently. We say "A friend in need is a friend indeed." No one can better come up to this proverb, other than a Mother. The youth of today can do anything for a friend but will not even think this way for a mother. But truly, in truest of the sense, a mother is a child's best friend for all seasons and the best reasons.

 Though every letter and word written above truly describes her and I also admit that her nature and personality is beyond this or probably she is that one person for whom I fall short of words to describe, but still I feel lucky to being able to try my hand at that...and for this also a million ton thanks to her again.  

After a general description of a Mother (as done above), would like to share some bits and parts of the kind of bond I share with my Maa. She is the architect of my life, my strength, my deepest source of inspiration, my storehouse of knowledge, the confidence I own, my reason in everything I do and even for that matter I do not do, the one on whom I always rely and depend, the best of my friends who lends me a patient ear and listens to everything I have to utter, how ever sensible or nonsense it might be. People say heaven lies in mother's feet or laps. I don't want to claim or comment on the truthfulness or applicability of this statement, all I want to say is that there cannot be a place more safe, secure, peaceful and heavenly than her lap. Once I put my head on her lap, I am out of this world..somewhere where there is no reason to worry, no tension and all stress relieved. She brings Smile when I have tears in my eyes, she provides me with clear vision when I have some obfuscated notion, she provides me with all the courage, spark and positivity when I am losing my strength or I am afraid or my thoughts turn to be that of a pessimist. She pulls me up every time I fall and gets me going. Albeit I depend on her to a great extent, but she is the one who has taught me to be independent and self - reliant. She lives and leads a life for the sake of others and that is what she has taught us. In her words, "Everyone lives for his own self but if you truly want to live life in its truest sense Live for others. The real happiness lies not in receiving but in giving...all the amount of love, care and concern one can give without expecting anything in return" She is a lady of her words and lives by this.She is someone who completes me and justifies my existence.                              



If Life is Jig Saw Puzzle, she is the best riddle solver..           

If Life is Problem, she has all the possible solutions...

If Life is a Vicissitude, she provides Stability...

If Life brings curses, she is a Blessing...

If Life is displays Bad Fortune, she is a Boon...

If Life is restless, she brings Peace...

She gave me life and she is my Life. She made me what I am today and she is the reason I live. 'Thanks' is a word too small even to acknowledge what all I owe you, repaying all that is just next to impossible. All I can do is to make you proud and happy by whatever things and acts I do. But still this 'Thank You, Maa' is just to express my a gratitude for everything you do, you have done and you will  continue to do. This is just a token of love and Tribute to you. Love You Maa....!!!

Love needs no reasons to celebrate

Replying to the wishes and scraps of Valentine's Day ever since morning, a question intrigued in my mind viz. "Does love need reasons to celebrate..??" Certainly not, but yes ofcourse today is one such day when one can express one's feelings or exhibit love. But then every day is a Valentine Day for the people truly, madly, badly and deeply in love. Isn't it...??? The answer is affirmative, atleast for me, though my present relationship status does not confirm it...lolzzz and probably i am not an appropriate person to have said that mainly coz i do not have any experiences of being in love but i think i know how it feels to be in love.   

When you truly love someone you are everything you can be, you do everything you possibly can (by hook or by crook) without expecting anything in return. It might sound a bit like the love in bollywood movies, more so coz such kind of love is rarely found in today's times. It's easy to love a thousand persons but it's difficult to love a person in thousand ways, accepting them as they are. No Demands and No complaints.

Having said that and coming back to the reason I am here for, for me Love is itself a reason to celebrate so how can it need any reason or any occasion to celebrate.With all due respect to Saint Valentine,  in whose memoir we all celebrate this great day of love and devotion, his ideologies and all the love birds for whom this day is no less than any festival and is longed for, I just have to say that shouldn't love be celebrated every day and rejoiced every night. And, if this be done we' ll have a better place to live in. And, by celebrations in no way I mean to give each other costly gifts, go for romantic outings or amorous dates, or candle light dinner at some five or seven star or any other thing which only the love birds can think of, etc..etc. My sense of celebration is to take care of each other the way none other can, not even your partner himself/herself, have a best understanding of all the differences, be concerned, not just lend but devote and invest your time for the other person [coz its said time is the best thing you can gift to someone coz its a part of your life you give to that person and nobody can take it back ( Hamesha and Forever types)], be each other's strength and support, be the best of friends, give him/her all the rights on you and own all the rights on him/her, Elate Togetherness, Celebrate Inseparableness, create fun filled memories so that when one fine day we look back, we are able to say, yes, we not just been together but we have Stayed and Lived Together.  Love is something that provides us with all the strength in the universe to stand against any odds and makes you too weak to face that one person whom you love. Love is a feeling that has no bounds.Love is what makes our life a joyous ride and our living worthwhile. So, in view of these and to draw to close, I would again emphasize that love doesn't need any reasons to celebrate. Love is a feeling that words can never fully describe, it is how much one can feel it. The feel of this feeling in itself is a 'Celebration'.

"NEVER OR FOREVER"

LOVE - what is it...?? 

• Is it a thought, a feeling of being cared, loved, valued and our reciprocation of the same...??
• Is it being concerned about a person more than your own self...Concern, i mean from waking up to sleep, from breakfast to dinner, from minor headaches to major heartaches..??
• Is it the desire to know the person, in and out, from his/her choices to ignorances, from his/her likes to dislikes, from his/her small wishes to the biggest of his/her dreams...??
• Is that one prayer you make for his/her well being...?? Is that one wish you have to fulfill all his/her wishes..??
• Is it that change that comes in you as a response to his/her thoughts or opinion about you..?? Is it that you are ready to accept all the pain from him/her..?? 
• Is it the "feelings" that keep you waiting to talk to or chat with him/her..that keeps you awake the whole night after a tiring day that you had and before a hectic day you are going to have, you dont feel the need to take rest..having a talk does that fot you..it relaxes you, eases you, takes away your stress..Is it such a wonderful Feeling..???
• Is it that when you are talking time flies away..and when you wait the clock's hand are struck as if they have stopped moving..?? 
• Is it that the entire world's convincing fails in front of him/her...and his/her just saying is enough for you to listen to follow his/her orders, which though is just said and not even forced..??
• Is it those sacrifices you make even for the smallest bit of his/her happiness..??
• Is it those adjustments and compromises you do with one another..for each other's sake...??
• Is it a feeling that your dreams seem a miniature to you in front of his/hers..??
• Is it that your priority list starts starting from his/her name..??
• Is it that you want to live each and every moment together...and share the talks of times not spent with each other..??

FEELINGS - Are they Developed and Destroyed..???

a) How do they develop..?? Can someone artificially create it or develop it in you or its your own self who does that..?? Is it just because someone makes you feel important and you fall for them..or gradually you start liking one for no reason...or for that matter do we get so habitual or addicted (Mujhe to teri Lat lag gyi kinds) to a person that we think we cannot live without him/her..!! 

b) How are they destroyed...?? Is it just because that special someone who once made you feel important now ignores you..?? Or is it that some newer people come into our life and become so important that you knowingly or unknowingly start ignoring the old ones, the ones you once treasured and valued and lived for..?? 

Can FEELINGS really be developed and destroyed..or it comes out naturally...that initially you like talking to someone, you fall for him/her and gradually you get bored and realize he/she is not your kinds/types. Is it that immature a thing to be felt or made to feel..?? Is it so easy to make someone feel that you are his/her everything...and all of a sudden they don't even exist for you..?? 

For all these unanswered questions I have just one thing to say, in my opinion "EITHER IT NEVER WAS OR IT WILL ALWAYS BE".........."NEVER" OR "FOREVER".

A feel of my feelings: Heart vs Mind

A feel of my feelings: Heart vs Mind: "OBFUSCATION - Heart vs Mind"                                         Confusion between my mind and heart, ...

Heart vs Mind

"OBFUSCATION - Heart vs Mind"

                                       

Confusion between my mind and heart,

The battle long ago which start.

Whom to listen is the delimma I face..?

Both want to win this stupid race..

Whosoever wins...I will loose...

Loose to none but my own views..

Mind favours what is right..

All that my heart takes light...

When my mind says something's wrong,

My heart pushes me Go ON...!!

Finally I chose a path....

Din't know but it did break my heart.

Everything same but nothing left,

Many differences came up and crept.

Is it..the time that flew away...???

Or something else that came our way..??

Again confused between mind and heart..
Why God gave two..when only one could act..?? 

Finally mind overtook my heart,

It hurts, because the feelings never depart.

It kills me hard inside..

when i think about what I had to decide.

Nothing can I do now..no go back from here,

All I can do is to shed all my tear.

This is the only way my pain can flow.

Without you my life becomes hollow.

Was happy when we were together,

No worries...nothing to bother...

Loved the way we used to talk..chitter chatter,

Your arms were the coziest place that gave me shelter.

When all I had lost..needed it the most..

Don't have those arms, patient ear, and lovely care,

Left alone...no feel...none to share...

                                              

But yes, one good thing it taught,

Resolved the battle that daily I'd faught.

I found an answer to my own question,

Not to the heart..but to mind we should listen.

I don't say that it's always right...

but surely helps in difficult times.

Mind's practical...so it adjusts..

Difficult to rebuilt when the heart fails.

Be sure about your heart..don't let all hack,

Coz when they leave it suffers a lasting crack.

So, its better to let your heart be a fool...

And for better...Let your Mind Rule...!!!
Or say, if you follow your Heart...
Bring your Mind behind that...!!!
So that they work together in sync,
And never allow this battle to come into being..!!!
