THE SCHOOL OF LIFE part 1

In life, we meet many people. we come across new faces each day. some stay as friends, some just pass by, some stay forever and the most special kind of people are those who touch our lives and imprint themselves in our souls forever. the school of life teaches new lessons everyday. and the people are the tutors. through their actions and behaviors they teach many things. but the most important thing is our ability to learn and see things. two people may learn very different things when put in the same circumstance.unlike the schools we went to, in life we learn what we observe. the skill of mugging up doesn't come handy here.


what we become in life is the result of what we absorb. every person, whether its our well wisher or our friend or our parents or it might as simple as the beggar we see teach us something. the people who hurt us also  teach us important lesson, perhaps the most important lessons are taught by them. they serve as 'blessing in disguise'. 


in this post i would like to share my views on "making a bond". when we meet someone, the first thing we notice about them is their looks. many a times we predict people's personality on their looks without even knowing them. some people guess it right, some [like me] are poor judge of face. here i would like to tell you about the various kinds of people. 
first are those who have a charming face and an aura that invariably attracts others and we try to create a bond with them. then comes the kind of people who have a very monotonous look on their faces as if they are not interested in what is going around them, most of the times we reply by an equally dull look. another kind of people are the ones who have a grave look on their faces which clearly says "i am out of your league". this sort of look is mostly found in overconfident people. attitude is their thing. some who think equally prepare for an attitude clash, some simply avoid them and some show indifference. a further kind of people are those who look cunning and you can clearly distinguish a "devilish smile"[you can see they will always be up to some mischief] on their face [most girls fall for such guys and vice versa ].one more kind are those who have a frown expression on their face as if nothing is up to their like[read standard]. they are the "sad stories" as no matter how much you do, they will always complain. there are many other types of people but these are the types that come to my mind now. i wont be surprised if you were connecting each type i mentioned with a face you know.
               unfortunately nobody gets all the good cards in life. we have to deal with each kind of people whether we like it or not. those who are friendly are the easiest to get along with. the others are just dealt because we have to or because we need them[might not be personally]. making friends is a positive thing in life. if we are lucky, we get friends who will do anything for us[i am lucky in this case]. our friends love us as we are and remain with us through thick and thin. some people become more than friends. they touch our life in a different way and become special for us. they remain forever, no matter what we do, they stay in our hearts. its not necessary that the said person should be a lover. he/she can be a friend, sibling, one-sided lover, ex-husband/wife, anyone...
if you still think that you are alone then there are two possibilities; either you are too weak a person who cannot create a bond with others[ i would suggest you start making friends] or you are blind enough that you cant see the bonds around you[ you need to have a closer look then]. 
    the mandatory requirement for making a bond is to trust. i wont say that your trust will always stay intact, no, it will be broken numerous times, but once you find a person who will never break your trust, the quest becomes worth it.

FABLE OF A FANTASIST

I am a hoper, i am a dreamer.
i picture illusions of everyone being happier,
like a pauper i always want more..
more happiness, more laughter ; the greedy human nature.

Gained a smile wherever i went,
wiping tears is what i aim,
spreading smiles till i last,
for i have known a gloomy past.

once i thought i can fight destiny,
to win back that was mine,
now i know the naked truth,
i can never change fates's design.

i am weak, i am a loner,
lost many crusades
but i gave up never, because
still i aspire to be a winner.

i have known pain,
seen the ruthless face of life,
but when i think of miseries of world,
my woes seem inane,

Life is never just to anyone
but giving up was never an option,
i chose the path of an optimist
and always stay hopeful in life's twists
This is The Fable Of A Fantasist

MY CHARACTERIZATION OF LOVE

LOVE- a word of just 4 letters and numerous meanings. almost everyone has some point of view on love. most people connect it with a guy or a girl. but is that what love is confined to? what about the feelings we have for our parents and friends?
                                a special boy or girl plays a significant role in life, that is also love but love is not bounded by lovers only. recently one of my friends attempted suicide. when i heard of it, my first question, rather assertion was "its a girl. right?" and then tears filled his eyes. just because somebody didn't understand his feelings, he thought of ending his life. this made me think, if we can love some guy or girl to such an extend, whom we have known for such a small amount of time, why cant we love our family and friends to that very extent? we can die for someone we have known for a year, but we cant live for our family which took numerous pains and made sacrifices to raise us?
                               there was a time when people understood their responsibilities and faced their challenges in life, but we, the younger generation, we want everything fast.... fast life, fast money, fast internet and fast love,  if we don't get what we want, either we protest or we seek the easy way out : suicide. it is time that we think practically and behave sensibly and about people who live for us. when one person dies [read commits suicide] many people linked to him/her die too [though not literally]. all we need to do is broaden our views on love. the only two people who will love us no matter what we become are PARENTS. no one will love you as unconditionally as them. for every person who doesn't understand your feelings, there are ten people who love you just the way you are. live for the people who love you and life will be worth living for.
the most important fact we must remember is that for every person in this world, there is a special person, sometimes we are too occupied in searching for him/her that we cannot identify that he/she was beside us all the time. all our wishes don't come true but if we think sensibly, we will realize that the decision taken by the Almighty is always for the best of us.
my brother always says "when one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we stare at the closed door so much that we don't notice the door that was open for us"
we have one life, we shouldn't waste it in regret and pain. live each moment, smile often, when tears roll down, let them flow... and never lose hope. something better will always happen. you just have to have a little faith.

ALONE

Alone i stood, alone i fought,
the nights were dark and the days were hot,
tears in my eyes, blood on my heart,
remembering the person,
who tore my heart apart.

Alone i smiled, alone i cried,
but the tears in my eyes had already died,
remembering the man, who had lied,
and for whom everything i had tried.

Alone i sat, alone i thought,
that the battle was lost,
the sword seemed heavy, my heart was heavier,
i left cursing myself for my foolish behavior.

Alone i kneeled, alone i prayed,
but sadly kept on, feelings depraved,
lucky for those who never face this,
as i know how crippling and painful it is.

Alone i sat, alone i thought,
why God gave some glee and others drought?
the numerous mysteries, understood by none,
still my heart forces me to carry on and on....

Alone i am born, alone i shall die,
when no one will be there to remember me,
at last i leave my thoughts on sands of time,
for others to learn and live life on line.

Alone we are and alone we will be,
struggling in this world, till our last breath leave,
still whenever you have any doubt, just close you eyes and let your heart seek out,

Alone is lonely, alone is a must,
for us human beings, who live life just
for the sake of living, beyond despair
is the only reason to live, though sweet, but rare.

Alone i finish this, alone shall be me,
might be for the time being,
but a ray of hope, appears as strong as a rope,
which will keep two souls, bound together, unbroke......
