When I leave this world

I want you to set me free

Send me to ashes

And I promise to glow

in your heart forever.

Life is too short to get bored.

We need to accept life as it unfolds

Finding happiness within the boundary and not making much changes is self rewarding at times.

Boredom is a fleeting nature of mind that cannot be accurately explained.

It’s a mental state used by an escapist to avoid self reflection.

It’s a trait of our mind and we get trapped easily disconnecting ourselves from the surrounding.

It’s become a social disease which never existed in the past.People then were busy trying to survive.They spent all their time securing food or shelter and didn’t have anytime to get bored.

People now are overstimulated ,we have too many options for entertainment.Hence we end up feeding boredom rather than discouraging it.

We crave for more time. However, when we have free time, we don’t know what to do with it. Nothing seems exciting enough to deserve our valuable time. We end up doing nothing and get bored.

You are in this state only because you feel you have a lot of time albeit that’s not true.

Dear Papa,

It’s been almost two decades I last saw you, spoke to you, touched your hand, laughed in your presence. I miss the sound of your voice, how you would call me,I miss your words of wisdom and strong loud voice.

Not a day has passed when you don’t cross my mind.All my happy moments I have felt your presence on my graduation,wedding day and the day I became a mother.When I see men of your age or fathers of my friends I have envied it sometimes and always thought how would it be if you were still around.

I feel proud when I still hear people talk fantastic about you.You have left back many good memories for all.

Mummy has become a strong lady,she took care of every small need of ours to her best ability.She has always been an amazing mother but after you left she fitted into your shoes and took everything to her stride.I know she is lonely but she doesn’t let that affect her.I am more proud of her now than ever.She is a true fighter.

Papa please keep shining above us and give us the strength to get better by the day.

Your loving daughter…

After many No’s and How’s

And fighting all odds

They met the very first time

Their eyes met and a smile popped

The long wait was over

Mixed emotions both sides

Wished everything around stopped for a while

The moist eyes spoke a million words

The watch was ticking faster than before

The coffee tasted better than ever

They knew this could be the last time too

There was so much to hear and say

The time was too short but every moment was memorable

Goodbyes are never good

Parting can be full of sorrow

Feels like there is no tomorrow

Though it was only for a while

They parted with a smile

People today are calling their fathers and wishing them Father’s Day.

Papa, I only have you in pictures and memories.

Its been two decades of emptiness and vacuum.

The flow of memories will never close

And I miss you more than anybody knows

My phone never showed Dad calling

I could never tag you on any social page

I keep writing for you on special days

My heart says you are there for me

And that’s the only solace for me

Miss you – Lots of love from this part of the world

The world around is filled with people waiting to judge.

People who nurture and uplift are in small numbers.

Words spoken may be short but the right ones echo endlessly and the wrong ones tear you apart.

Having a bunch of friends is great.

The count of friends\relatives on Facebook and the number of followers on Instagram can be enthralling.

Somehow with the passing time we realise not everyone is a friend.

You find nothing in common with some of these people whom you would have spent your childhood and adolescent period.

If they are always judging you it can have a direct impact on your self-esteem. Belittling and pointing out flaws all the time can make the relationship toxic. Now their ideologies and outlook on life seems completely unrelatable and the only thing left in common is the growing up together memories or the time spent together.

Old friendship\relationship or new, drawing boundaries are important, either stand for yourself or just walk away. A simple test can be by just telling the other person,” Right now I only want to be heard” inspite of saying it, if the person turns incapable you have the answer in front of you.

Life is filled with new chapters and we just need to move on.

Some people become part of anything and everything you do. Consider yourself lucky to have them as they are the ones who make up for every friend you would have lost over a period of time.

Having few friends makes life easy – neither you need to adapt to them nor put yourself in a situation you don’t want to be. This helps in reserving energy to invest only on people who really mattered and cared.

Cutting of relationships is brutal – when you identify a particular relation is getting toxic or having a negative impact on your life, its time to reevaluate. Its healthy to distance yourself but uprooting can become an emotional roller coaster ride. We can always maintain being in touch in social gatherings or common events.

Listen to your inner voice and follow your vibes.

Do not give me free advice

Do not judge me

My life is not yours

My challenges are not yours

You didn’t cry my tears

I may have sounded rude

Do not judge my decision

You do not know the reason

You touched the wrong chord

Your words have hurt me

In the process of judging of me

You have revealed yourself

We can improve on something by making an attempt.
Action is important for perfection to happen.

“I believed I had a perfect life,but every time I met you I felt incomplete.”

Reinventing myself.The self I was and want to be.There cannot be a bigger gift from me to self.

Being stuck can be an awful feeling.Not doing anything about it after realizing is like magnifying the feeling.

It’s just like the clutter lying in the house.You need time to retrospect and eventually keep only the good.Adapt to the change and learn to live with the punches life has to offer.

Most important thing I would say is attaching yourself with the right set of people.Be with people who -lift you up,inspire you,raise the bar of your thinking,resonate with your values…..

I am on the move.Are you??

Goodluck!
