i did 'NOTHING'

When do we know that our time is wasted? If this is asked from many of us then, a common answer will be inclusive of similar words. These words would undoubtedly head to a word 'Nothing'. Yes we have known this fact. We slay our time when we do 'nothing'.

Today I did NOTHING. I had to prepare for my exams. My mind was generating pulses of tension. I was a bit tensed. But I watched a movie that was to be watched from a long-long time. I was there watching that movie(in that moment). But some one in my

mind was constantly echoing with loud distracting words: “Aren’t you wasting your time?"

I tried to nudge the thought out of mind. I tried harder and harder. But the thought persisted. I ate my favorite food, had a bike ride, strayed in streets. I just did 'Nothing'.

At last I sat quiet in my room, closed my eyes and various thought tried to capture my mind. I maintained calm. As sometimes things get worst and there is no law which can help you in redemption. This time I wanted to do nothing. If I had been a nerd, I could have stopped doing my 'nothing'.

Inside my heart I knew that the one who made laws and who said that doing nothing was a time-wastage was someone who himself wasted it. I believe that I am master of my fate and I can choose to do anything with my time. I don't want to follow the rules made by that one person who said by himself and we follow it. I revere his efforts but I want to lay down my own laws to live this life.

Tomorrow morning I will wake up with a bit of guilt. As this nothing would cost me a bit of heartache. Still I will get up and will start doing something. My lesson of NOTHING is earned.

Happy Birthday to Myself

My hazel eyes...

I remember that time,

when freezing air blushed my face,

with its care and love,

making me feel that it cared,

for my wet hazel eyes,

the eyes which looked for way ahead,

but reflected drops of hopelessness,

closing those eyes,

I heard a loud voice,

which imparted me with deep courage,

to collect those pieces of shattered dreams,

and walk ahead in search of a new way...

I seldom believed myself,

but voice kept affirming me of my infinite wealth,

I kept on the search,

paved my path unknowingly,

with sweat at my brows,

and fate at my back...

days passed turning into years,

one fine morning I found myself,

near a spectacular view by my passage,

on my way people told me not to hope for any views,

as I committed mistakes,

which never left me alone,

with a single moment of self assurance,

but now, sitting besides flowing water,

looking at top of ice capped mountain,

I see my destination,

I see where my life is,

Place where my heart resides…

again some tears roll out of my eyes,

for the wisdom and courage rendered by the voice,

cool wind come again with a scent of joy,

touches and kiss my hazel eyes...
