A Choice

A choice is to be made
far from the loved
the voices in the head
asks to stay and be there

a friend is in need
and he does get lonely
reasons be a lot more
a single enough only

Love is in us
and not in us apart
what sustains the world
than love in thy heart?

hold the hand now
not just let it go
regrets are out there
and always does it grow.

Time does not wait,
nor does it rewind
leave it to the fate
or be one of your kind.

Quiet

This is about the morning incident. I had to go to a place to meet one of my colleagues from a company where we worked together for some time. I thought I can't do that without breakfast. I mean, I had only slept for 2 and a half hours. I needed some energy.

Fantasy

I have always heard people talk about fantasies, but everytime I felt like I had none. I have seen people writing fiction, it does require quite a bit of imagination. But I love writing about things that are. But fantasies do keep us alive. Something fake but helps us survive the reality.

I suddenly realised today the fantasies that I have had. The ones that keep me alive with the hope that someday I would live those moments in reality.

I imagine at times driving a car or being in a car with family, on a high way but surrounded by trees, it is drizzling or the sky is cloudy. It's a non scary route, we are not scared of any mishaps. We are long way from home and not in a rush to reach somewhere. Not scared that it might get dark and that it might get difficult to drive in night. Knowing all that, we just breathe fresh, pure air. The eyes can see green all around. We stop and get out of the car with a flask of hot tea. We pour it in paper cups and smile and take a long breath as we sip our tea.

There is another image that appears in my mind when I chase cars around my head. This one I can really feel like I am living it. I see vast area, dark green grass all around, the ground is not level but the grass feels so natural and premium. It's a dark blue grayish sky. With clouds. It's evening. I see myself lying down on the grass. I see no one around to the far distance. There is no worry or terror of anything. I just close my eyes as it drizzles. I feel no pain. There is nothing in mind. It makes me smile every single time. It is said that we keep on wishing for something or the other thing, one level accomplished, want to achieve another. I just want to live this one. I believe I would not want anything else, then.

Hero Memories

At times, we do want to look back on our lives and remember the moments that have been precious to us. Unlike the movie endings, it's rare to have such moments that would make us heroes. If only we had not always been concerned about the very next moment of taking a decision, maybe we would have taken some drastic decisions in our lives. But as of now, how many memories do we really have that would make us feel like a hero?

Little Goals

I like to walk to the office from home daily. This walk gives me time to think. While I really like to live a slow life and avoid all the speed that the traffic and noise bring in, the thoughts always revolve around in my head. This reminds me that I had left 'The heartfulness way' in the middle, I gotta read it.

The office is not really far from my home. After I get out of the house, I only have to take a couple of turns and then it's a straight main road to work. I like to walk on the footpath on the right side. The road has a separator. There are small milestones on the way, the police station, the stall where a person sells Mausambi juice, the Nilgiris store, and the right turn just before a small park that leads to a peaceful path surrounded by trees and on the other side of it, are small nice houses.

Irrational Wisdom

When we are little, we learn how to learn things. We start learning once we understand how things are logically connected. Of course, for that, we do need to first understand how logic works. Many of us do get to spend a lot of time alone, just thinking about things, logically connecting them in some way or the other, experiment and then verify. We can then finally draw conclusions about something being right or wrong just by being rational, with logic. The best part is, it's not even an absolute thing. We could have our own logic to draw different conclusions for the same data. I also did the same, when I finally thought I could understand things, I became a rational person and created own set of rules for myself.

Blissful Awakening

Where am I?...I wake up after a long time. I don't know this place but it seems familiar for some reason. I see no one around me but lots of huge trees, leaves, rough pathways, animals and birds that don't seem to be scared of me. They look curious though, feels like they have not seen someone like me before. A cool breeze is blowing due to which trees sway, they don't seem to have complaints of any kind. I can hear the sound of a river flowing nearby. The sound is so full of tranquil. After a long time, I am feeling light, like I have never been tired, sad and lost my entire life. Is this bliss? Am I alive? I must be because I have never felt so alive in a while. I realize that I have a smile on my face.

Strangely, there is no fear in me. I get up and I look around, I am in a pursuit of something. There.., it seems so familiar. I have seen something like this before. Even if I had a language that I could speak, I wouldn't be able to explain the beauty that I find in its eyes and that serene smile. But there is no language that we know of, no words that we know to speak. Still, somehow, we are talking. There is no noise though that we can make. I ask her the place where I am and what all this is. And now I know, with a blink of her eyes. It tells me, this is my blissful awakening.

Hormones

We have always been talking about the good and the bad. The state of mind, the happiness that we look for and the contingencies that we try to avoid. The stability and satisfaction are what we have been thriving for, for a long time now. Of course, we are in pursuit of contentment. It has been continuing for long and yet we fail to define what it is that we are looking for. What am I looking for?
