People come and go,
But ever soon,
One comes along
whom it is difficult to let go of.

A person who changes you for the good,
changes the way you look at the world.
Your preferences, your interests,
your mindset, your personality.

A person who only gives
and does not expect anything in return.
A person who only wants your well-being
and is ready to sacrifice their world for your happiness.

A person who doubles your joys
and subtracts your sorrow.
A person who stays with you all along,
when you are in the need of a support.

A person who knows when you're right and,
when you're wrong and tells you so.
A person who looks over you, watches you
and is your worst critic.

A person, only one such person
is more than enough,
to transform your life to heaven.
And that person, is a true friend, just like you :')

~A Change is Inevitable~

When you wish to bring about a change in the world, you will be faced with a lot of criticism and you will be put down hundreds of times. Sometimes, by people whom you don't even know. There will be times when you see yourself standing alone on the path you chose for yourself. At those times, just remember the fire which initiated the change in you. Believe in yourself and say - 'This fire will spread out and either illuminate the souls in darkness, those who are wishful of change or burn those down, who are too stubborn to accept the change'.

Sometimes in life, you make tough choices. A choice which your mind says is right but your heart doesn't agree. But, you have to look at the bigger picture - you have to weigh the damage it can do to you in case you listen to your heart. And then, by gathering all the strength you have, you take that leap. There will be consequences. For days, you might question your own judgement, but in the end, everything will be alright. Not because it always is, but because there is always something better to look forward to. In the end, things will fall into place.

A wise man once said, ' You may not be a bad person, you may just be going through a rough patch '.

Like morning follows the night, like the coin having two sides, the nature will ensure that there is balance.

You have to believe in it to keep yourself happy. Happiness, a very overrated entity, should be sought from the smallest of things. In this case, from the satisfaction of knowing that you are not influenced by the perception of others. Your decisions are your own, and that you are the creator of your own destiny. Amen.

A WOMAN SHOULD......

be a feminist during her college days,

be career minded and care oriented,

play the game of hide and seek with her suitor,

dare to stay happily unmarried all her life,

love being a woman,

buy flowers for herself,

feel the wind on her face,

go camping, trekking,

be shy, be bold,

trust men occasionally,

give that second chance to everyone,

be a romantic,

get emotionally hyped over nothing and cool down suddenly,

go on a diet, yet, eat chocolates and ice-creams,

get high 'n stay high on life,

love her man and her reflection,

learn to love herself,

kiss herself good night in the mirror,

get wild, tame her tears,

break rules- lead the dances,

drive her man's car,

run his bank account,

manage his business, wear his clothes,

yet know that he's a man and she's the woman,

get flattered,

wear latest fashion and wear fine diamonds,

for no special reason,

lay down principles in her life,

go out for window shopping all alone,

know the way to her man's heart,

but never forget the little girl within! :)

Resistance to Change

Amidst the blue sky,

Amidst the blue sea,

Amidst the green fields and snowy mountains,

There is a strange feeling of serenity,

of silence and of beauty.

When I look upon such places

of natural beauty,

all my tensions, my apprehensions,

my anger, my sorrow

just seem to wither away.

I do not know the kind of feeling it is,

It just can’t be described in words,

That tells me that this isn't

the end of the world.

The feeling that calms me and inspires me

To give in more, and more

Cause all this and much more

will come back to me in form of tremendous joy.

The  beautiful birds flying in the sky

seem to teach me, how important

companionship is, and how important it is

for people to communicate and just be

together for each other.

The islands far far away in the ocean

seem  to tell me,

that your goals look just as far

as you want to see them.

And that the actual distance is much less

than what you thought.

The beautiful green trees,

with flowers in various hues,

teach me that life is a colourful vibrant rainbow

and it is only our view and perception

that makes it dull and gray.

The snowy peaks looking peaceful from down the plains,

but actually, so opposite,

teach me that the perfect man

will always keep a brave face in the worst of times.

And also, that the judgement of someone from outside

can actually prove to be just the opposite.

The green fields teach me how

important it is to grow and nurture.

And that true happiness can be gained

by selflessly providing for others.

And, then I feel that we know so much,

by merely looking at the natural beauty

and by deep introspection

then why,

Why is it so difficult to change?

SADNESS

There is a feeling of emptiness prevailing,

My heart feels so empty, and yet so heavy!

Because my life seems to have lost,

all of its meaning!

There was a time when being sad and gloomy

were things and feelings that I wasn’t even aware of,

because you were always there to hold my hand,

And pull me out of my melancholy!

Those lovely days of careless chatter,

Of laughing together and singing together...

Seems to have all fizzled out,

leaving me – forlorn and heartbroken altogether!!

I don’t have a reason to be happy or to laugh,

Did you not believe when I said,

that you are the only one,

with whom I could be who I really was?

Please, Oh please!

I don’t have the strength to be like this,

Reason for your sadness,

Was the last thing I ever wanted to be!!
