Success secret

There ain't any recipe to success and nor there is any destined path to success, but yet the best part is that success is an achievable journey. There is no destination called success because you just can't stop once you are successful, you got to keep going, my friend.

I remember days when I lose faith and I do nothing except cribbing, but you know sometimes in this process we unnecessaily drain down the energy that we can actually channelise at a focal point and turn it into a milestone. I have faced defeats, days when my desires didn't let me sleep, nights when my eyes used to be wide awake because of the dreams that I still see.  It is not easy to tackle your desires and wants, when you see something or a position that you wish to attain, it is not easy to divert yourself from that point. Let me also tell you that if you successfully divert yourself at that point of time, the dream that was just a seed dies inside you. 

The secret of success in my view is to not stop at all. You can pace slow, fast, but you shouldn't stop. 

"The stars are shining are in my sight,

all fine and things are right.

I peep in me to gather strength 

it is as much as the darkness of tonight.

You know when you lose hopes and belief upon yourself, that is the exact time when you need yourself the most. Life on track is like a rollercoaster ride, you cannot predict things and that makes it adventurous, however, all that you can do is keeping the engine on. I am no guru to tell people what should they do, but all stories that I have ever heard, seen, felt and read come to a centre. That centre is success whose radius is the persistence. 

Persistence is probably the most underrated word, but the truth is, nothing absolutely nothing is achieved without persisting efforts. Maybe today is not your day, maybe tomorrow it won't be either but, someday it is going to be your day. You are going to live the moment that you had been longing for but, you won't be able to experience it if you leave digging for gold so soon. Don't drop your axe, the treasure is going to crawl at your feet. 

"Dry out of thirst

or drown in work,

do whatever you can but

keep up the burn."

You got to keep burning with each moment that passes on, there has to be a struggle. A struggle that emphasises more on your abilities and goals than your pains and thorns. This flame is going to show you the right path that you are going to walk upon. Slow down the flame to keep you warm or let it burn you burn you till the core, don't let this flame die because this flame is the line of your life. 

Our chapter

I see what you don't,
I see us together, but you don't,
But I think it was my fault,
I read what you don't say at all.

I wish I knew how,
long am I going to be with you.
For, I wouldn't have weaved my dreams,
wouldn't have waited till moonlight fell asleep.

I loved your tales,
your stories that had me involved,
but unaware of the next turn,
I allowed myself to get drawn.

You were that book for me,

which I would read for an entire night.
Letting your words cuddle with my soul,
turning to the pages that I love.

Now I am still left with
an incomplete chapter of our,
longing for you to rewrite
and make us fall at least apart.

Because it is better to end,
than leaving the story halfway.
maybe you were never mine,
Or maybe this isn't our day.

MAKE A WISH

"Make a wish may be miracle is bored tonight." -- Annonymous 

I recently found myself pondering over a thought, this thought was - what makes us keep going ahead. I have seen people putting undeniable efforts in achieving what they want to, I have read about people who achieved what they wanted to after putting in their blood and sweat together. Yet again, the question lingers, what makes them keep going? 

I have found myself wishing zillions of times, sometimes I wish about travelling all the way to Mohanjodaro, often I wish about saving enough to buy a new phone. The wishes that I make, in some way or the other effect my actions and directions. So, aren't these wishes keeping us going ahead? Have you ever found yourself in an awe of something to such an extent that you eventually began to save to buy it? I have found myself doing this every second day! 

I believe that each wish that we make becomes a fuel to our living. These small or larger goals allow us to find direction and pace of our movement. A person who don't wish is not only dull and dry but also lacks a major element of journey and that is - DIRECTION.

I have often found people asking me how much do I shop, one thing after another you are constantly in need and want of something. Though I choose not to answer more than a smile but my instincts tell me that - It's okay to make a wish and to put efforts in fulfilling that, because when I decide to buy something that I love I am actually working on fulfilling my desire with my efforts which is gradually providing me an aim. A small wish provides an aim for shorter while, whereas a bigger wish constitutes a longer prevailing aim.

Wishes keep us burning,
wishes keep us on move.
Wishes make us grow,
wishes took us to the moon.

For those who do not wish, you got to start wishing. If you feel what are you going to get back well then, the answer is nothing but - Happiness of realising the goal.

You got to make a wish if you wish to keep your life going. If you do not wish, you won't put efforts and if you won't put efforts you cannot make your life move. 

Irreplaceable

In the midst of my eyeryday chores,
I came across an emptiness,
an emptiness caused by you
and suprisingly, filled only by you.

When the breeze strokes at my hair,
as if its you, untying the knots in them.
I get drawn towards an escape,
an escape where both of us prevail.

I can say a zillion words ever known,
million words that are ever heard by me,
but your name is where I struggle,
and my tongue falters reluctantly.

No matter how many sun rays dance in front of me,
I find my peace in the moonlight which consolidates,
our world, our era, our time and our virtues.
I find peace in that moonlight of solitary.

For, you have given me enough to break,
to make, to melt and repair as well.
The sound of your soft whispers,
are entangled perpetually in my breathes.

I wish I could slow down the time,
and turn back for one last time.
Towards the direction where you are standing,
willing to move ahead till eternity.

But alas! I can neither wait, nor I could return,
I could neither hold on, nor I can let it go.
All am left with is an emptiness that is never ending,
and here I am sensing your presence in every other being.

The hollowness in VOGUE

Ever since Vogue has produced and uploaded their newly launched video featuring DEEPIKA PADUKONE, the Facebook walls are tinted with the link and appreciation. She is being praised on every social networking site and that's the new tend! This video highlights the fact that women are supposed to choose the way they want to spend their lives and that is exactly what the name of this video suggests - MY CHOICE.

Click here to view the video 

Being a supporter of feminism, I highly brace the point that this video is attempting to make and there are no two ways about it. However, just when I tried to flip the coin I encountered how biased this video is. Now let me clear that I am not an orthodox India neither I am an anti-feminist. Surely, may be feminism for me is different from what feminism is for you but that is not the point here. The matter that I am attempting to highlight is simple - are we going to accept the same "my choice" thing if a male puts forth for himself or for an entire male community? he video further says that - "I will decide whether to have sex before marriage, after marriage, outside marriage, or have no sex at all" - while I hear these words, it strikes that a person having sex outside his or her marriage is termed as the one who cheats. So again , I raise the question, are we going to accept the same thing if a male does to his female partner? Now when you say "women empowerment" - are we talking about empowering women and making them equals or are we talking about making a world full of - ME AND MY CHOICE?. Are we comfortable if someone does "ME AND MY CHOICE" to us? Are we promoting empowerment so that a woman can stand equal or are we promoting empowerment so that a woman can go miles and miles ahead absolutely crushing the male counterpart?

I totally agree that a woman has her rights on her body, her clothes, her thoughts, her opinions, her paths, the way she wants to look, the way she wants to behave. But on the similar note, if we are seeking for equality then what kind of equality is this where our male counterparts aren't allowed to have the same set of "MY CHOICE' theory. I agree, that no woman in no country should be forced to do a particular thing, act or have a particular belief but at the same time, are'nt we all women are focusing on just one thing and that is - To make world full of OUR CHOICE. What about your partners? your family? Definitely nobody should dominate us in no era of the entire universe but then, aren't we dominating them with our choices??? 

I found the video greatly done especially the poetry and graphics however, I also found that the video was not asking for equality but a world full of ME, MY AND MINE. We are promoting a society where coexistence of male and female is peaceful and equal or we wish to promote a society which is the other way round and favourable only to women?

P.S. ---- The views are extremely personal and have no intention of hurting anyone or changing anyone's belief. You are free to believe wha you want after all it is a democratic country.

I DON'T REALLY KNOW!

I don't know if we were made to meet,
or it was just a prank of destiny!

I don't know if this was to believe,
like a falling star wish, indeed!

I don'r know if its a matter of days,
or a journey of many miles.
I don't know if its gonna stay forever
or for a shorter while!

I don't know how our path just crossed.
Where and why do we came across..

I don't know if this is right or wrong,
i don't know if the belief is really strong!

but, all i know is that we were meant,
we were meant to meet and to see.
to seek what we can't see and feel what is
still to believe!

to see world with each other's eye,
to solve those x and y!

we were meant to meet,
to provide relieve..
to the wandering soul of yours..
and the burning one that belongs to me! 

LOVE - as simple as that

"I love you" - the most common and equally complicated words ever existed in human history! but, is it really as complicated as we feel it is?

i believe, LOVE is just to love but, things add to it when jealousy, expectations, loneliness and all other feelings get blend with love. To love someone is simpler than it seems because,  you don't need to expect them to love you back. when you fall for someone, you fall for their personality, their nature, their looks and everything else and this was never mandatory to get the love back just because you are deeply in love with her/him.

Love will never hurt you if you only try to give, what hurts is the fact that you get to feel lonely ones the person sweeps away. If the memories of love makes you smile and the love that grew by showering it on that "someone" makes you feel contented... then probably you have achieved the truest form of love!  

In reality, i perceive love to be open ended, and a personal choice. I shouldn't expect the same love back, why? because i am too busy in giving love. in current scenerio, love turns out to a a relationship and then changes into marriage but, if i solely look at love in its most purest and truest form - its is something like this --

"i love you, for what your are
and the things that you want to be.
i love you, because you make me happy
and yes i feel deeply!

i love you because i choose to
not because you had promised me the same,
i would cross limits in expressing my love
it hardly matters if you feel the same."

LOVE - means something that keeps you high always and you will go to any extent to chase it but, if you try to blend it with every other feeling, it will be a mess. Love the one whose world you feel like lighting up and your world will get lit up automatically.
