Time sailed away, waited for none!

I feel amazed to look back to the time when I was in my pre-primary school. Going to school and being in the classroom was one of the most beautiful experiences, I consider. Frankly speaking, when I first saw computer in my headmaster’s office, I was left with my jaw wide open. I was so much fascinated by it. I would wonder how that electronic creature functions. My curiosity used to kill me inside. But sadly, never got a chance to touch it. Fanciful gadgets always enthralled me.

Now, that time is gone. Time waited for none of us. It just slipped without our notice. For the children of today’s time, nothing is captivating. Right after their birth, they are introduced to all kinds of materialistic device. Space for curiosity has been subdued. Going to school is weary for them. Books contain only facts, fractions and figures. For them, there is nothing to explore. Things don’t fascinate them because materialistic device has made them all well known to world. Time has transformed everything, including people’s perception and their living standards. Let me share something, I was left numb when I saw my three year old nephew activating his father’s laptop and watching cartoon. When I was of his age, frankly telling I did not know whether this type of device exist or not.  Time is so surprising and the change it has brought in is stunning.

I am growing old and hopefully I am becoming more mature. I feel that nothing has changed. I find everything same, such as, my way of wearing kira, my friends, my sisters pampering and calling me with disgusting names. But somewhere within the cage of my ribs, I know things have changed hugely. Unquestionably, excluding biological changes, everything seems the same. But when I turn back and look, everything is different.

My Prized Possession: My Sisters

Please don’t cry,

I love you for what you are.

Don’t be annoyed,

I’ll be left alone without you.

You understand me more than I do.

                                                           Please don’t go away,

                                                           I cannot afford to be disregarded by others.

                                                           Stay by my side always,

                                                           Without you, I’m nothing

                                                          Hold my hand, we’ll toddle together.

How far away I’m from you,

I always find you beside me.

Without your existence,

My world seems to be sedated.

I crave my voyage of life to be walking with you.

                                                             I want to live,

                                                             I want to cry,

                                                             In the tenderness of your arms.

                                                             Be my best friend, be my soul mate.

                                                            I love you more than you’ll ever know.

My Message To The World!

Life, so uncertain and mysterious. Life has made each of us wonder upon our purpose and destiny. As we journey along, in doubt and in hope, the choices we make define who we are. Nothing is permanent. Walking our way through toil and perseverance, at times we gain and we lose the other time. Happiness can be found in the most obvious or the most unexpected things. Our entire life is squandered in accomplishing happiness, forgetting that happiness comes from within.

To be truly happy in life, we must learn to be at ease with what we possess. Don’t expect more. Help the needy ones. Learn to share and be obliging. In doing so, you will get that feeling of contentment. The feeling that will overwhelm you, make you shade tears and smile at the same time. The feelings of happiness that will make the creature inside the cage of your ribs feel blissful.

Life does not go the way we want it to. We may or may not be able to live our lives the way we want. But certainly, we will live our lives the way it is meant to be, i.e. to live together. People, know that we are all together.

Love to capture moments! Found so beautiful!

If you were mine….

The first time I saw you,

I was left gazing at you

Since then, I am waiting

But the right time just sailed.

                                                 

                                                 If you were mine,

                                                 The world would be mine.

                                                 Holding your hand, I would dance

                                                 I would keep you in my heart.

Out of this world you are,

 No one like you ever

How can somebody be so charismatic like you?

 You are an angel from above.

                                                    

                                                    If you were mine,

                                                    I would not be on earth

                                                    I would be flying,

                                                    with a passion so blind.

Wealth as the utmost happiness…but they’re not at least for me

Happiness is the contentment or pleasure one feels. Money and possessions can bring people joy but such happiness is short lived. Real and constant happiness comes from achievements, growth of skills and character, expressing creativity, freedom, peace of mind, kindness and gratitude we show and receive, and by loving and being loved. Different people become happy for different reason.

When a person wins a lottery or gets a raise in salary, she/he may experience happiness. With excess of money, happiness may increase but he/she will soon learn to adjust with the excess of money and may start to feel that the money is inadequate. In turn, the excess of money becomes a burden trying to maintain and secure it.

People associate happiness to the amount of money possessed. But certainly, that is not satisfactory. People get delighted at first from the brand new car that has been bought. But the delight remains only for short term and people get used to them. Human minds are adaptable. The desire to have more gradually increases. People are never all that satisfied with the money they have. Unquestionably, more salary makes people happy but that is immediate. People promptly amend to the new wealth and all it purchase.

It is observable that wealth is such features in one’s life that if its quantity is less, people are likely to suffer. And if it is more, people find it complicated to deal with. Money creates divide between rich and poor. The rich become richer by making use of natural resources and cheating tax. The poor ones remain as it is. More money can make people feel superior while poor ones are made to feel inferior.

Happiness comes from within and not from having luxurious things. It is just self-satisfactory. Happiness brought by money is short lived. Frankly speaking, I find happiness in doing things rather than having fanciful gadgets.
