Be kind

Image
Yes, there is no right and wrong, It's all about perspectives, But there is a conscience That tells you when something is not right; About someone, sometimes a situation, Also it does tell about the goodness too, Definite that we don't know What really resides inside a broad smile And the warm hugs… But there are obvious, Don't unsee them. Kindness doesn't change with Gender, title or status. The kind ones are always kind  No matter where and what they are. If you find them not to be Don't give the concession Of any of their circumstances. Kindness breaks all barriers And stays clear and vivid. Look for kindness, Rest just follows.

Santa is coming...

Reindeers flying down from North pole, Santa holding rein, Magical night... Presents bundled up… Visiting us, to give us What we wished for, And sometimes beyond that, Be ready to receive the gifts, You earned it dear… You are worth the best. Clean up your chimneys, No, not home's, But of your hearts… Let it be clear of soot and dust of past, Keep your hearts ready, It's time to leave the baggage- And walk swiftly unburdened! Go back and be that old child, Keep your logics out, And await Santa! Be excited to open the gift box, The coloured wrappers, Glittering satins, Have that awe smile, Yes you deserve this gift, Joy, Peace and your secret wish… Smile again, today is beautiful, So is tomorrow, And the days to come...

And when you can't express What you feel, Just falling silent, And despair fill… Unable to vocalise the 'feel', It feels terrible as your heart is full- Clutters of monologues That can't be verbalised, And you drown deep down, Just trying to understand what it really is, You ask yourself: 'What's the matter!' You know it's not this final trigger you just had, But an accumulated burden That you are carrying deep within! Trying to understand why, Why you can't say it out, When you otherwise have verbal diarrhea, Standing up and speaking for, And much more… But what happens when it's emotional And you just can't say what and why! Silence is what people see, But in reality, it is a silent pandemonium Orchestrated within, all jingling, thumping, clanking and trumpeting… You may see vacant eyes- But it's flowing within relentlessly, Trying to comprehend what and why! May be an arm around, Just saying: 'it's all fine- You wil...

Random page in the diary

When I look back, I see a teenager who was naive, full of enthusiasm and energy. But those were days of turmoil. That teen could face all those without complaining, without whining, without doubts. I see that teenager had blind faith, maybe the faith that mother carries even today. But those days, mother had a shaken faith, which probably got fixed by then solid faith of the teen! She found it as a test to pass and she was determined to pass in calmness and not asking 'why me?'. It was agony, but made sweet in faith. It was tears in the midst of an ecstatic smile. And I remember a 10 year old, who was carefree, who was aware of the disaster that fell on the family. Still she could be happy in the moment. She was happy for no reason, when the elders were going through the quick transformation from young to old manifested by greying hairs! And now that girl is here transforming into the greying adult, who has confronted her faith a multitude of times. The blessings on...
