When do you give up?

Five minutes before first word of this new post, I was in my bed with my eyes closed and some soaring pain in my heart. Tears were not on cards this day(I suppose) and I remembered one of my mother's advice: 'Do not ever give up, when you wish for something badly...you might fall, your courage might touch grounds, but always remember that you have it in you to get fetch that dream of yours...'

Now, sitting here and not feeling healthy enough to do anything, I wish I could weep my eyes down and could get some sleep. But I guess, I need to live with this feeling, I have to burn in the test of these times.....wait

Wait....

A tear just fell down......I thing I will be able to fall half asleep...and in half wakefulness...be ready my DREAM...I will be coming again...

because I do not know 'How to GIVE UP!'

The new LIFE!

'My longings'

Steps are light weighted,

like I know that flowers of dust will get hurt,

and my longing is so much,

that I wish I could keep up pace,

with moving hands of running hours,

I take out some time,

to think of what is in my heart,

and some questions answers themselves,

as I live through them,

bit by bit, hour by hour...

Is it me who dreams to be somebody?

Or is it me looking through window of hope?

wishing all day and night long,

that the ONE who gives,

would give me my part,

Is it my heart that beats to love,

or is it my patience that is tested against my wishes,

I shall not come to know,

until the right time strikes the chord with HIS heart,

only to coincide with my prayers,

Whatever happens, it is just 

a matter of these times,

as these days will be some memories,

and my longings will pin them to my life,

and I hope, one day,

when patience will no longer be needed,

I would kiss love to my dreams,

I would hold hand of my new life,

under the bright sun,

I would still run, with 
light weighted steps,

to keep pace, to stay along 
and young with her,

with my new life...

When words are not enough!

"Hands, your shoulder and my eyes"

When I close my eyes,

some dark takes away all my strides,

when I open them,

I see more dark outside,

I fill my eyes,

with pain of being this way,

and when I pour the same,

then, some tears roll down,

washing away all my strife,

So, half my way down

 to deep slumber,

you come close to me,

and fall asleep with my

 head on your shoulder,

holding my hand tight,

as my words might not 

explicate my longings,

but my hand would tell 

you stories of my heart,

and when sleep falls in

 loving arms of night,

your touch would work wonders,

taking away all my strides and the strife,

filling the eyes with some love,

making me tranquilized...

An example for all of us!

Mr. Om Prakash, a business man who took off from his work and distributed water to protesters in front of Tihar Jail, is a man who represents a true citizen with spirit to bring about a change. When he was asked, "Why are you doing this water distribution at the cost of your business?" He had a smile on his face and answered in an indirect and interrogative way, "What kind of loss are you talking about?"

His smile was contagious, his spirit of serving the protesters and his will to sacrifice as well as do his bit for our nation added to my intentions of doing my bit?

So, are you doing your BIT? What are you doing?

(BTW, It was good having the Black Band around my wrist all day=>Last post on the blog)

I would love to know about your part. If you have never thought about it. Then, NOW is the time!

An IDEA, the IDEA!

Some days are beautiful, some are rainy, some are sunny, but some are tainted with black. The black is not a color, it is the black of hearts which either stay scared or averse beauty and purity of a heart.

Such is a feeling which is there with me today, when a noble idea is arrested. As, I am not with anybody, but I am with the idea of making our country better and more organised. 


I do not have much to say, but would surely like to share with you some lines of a song from Linkin Park(which goes with today's happening!)

Put to rest, What you thought of me
Well, I clean this slate
With the hands, Of uncertainty
So let mercy come, And Wash away

What I've Done
I'll face myself
Tto cross what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

For what I've done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I'm forgiving what I've done

I'll face myself
To cross out what I've become
Erase myself
And let go of what I've done

What I've Done
What I've Done
Forgetting what I've done

Today, I contributed my part with a fast. Tomorrow, I would wear a black band on my right arm. Are you with the idea of better India(I repeat, I am not with anyone. I am trying to be with the idea and you must have listened to a TV commercial, "An Idea can change your life! Now, we have a chance to implement it.")

Happy Independence Day!

"When I woke up after my wrongdoings,

I was half buried,

when I tried to save myself,

I never believed I could

 touch the sky...so high!"

Yesterday, I was discussing India and politics with a friend of mine. He is elder to me and does not belong to our generation(21 years-the fanatic young). We had a nice discussion about all points including Anna Hazare's stand for Lokepal(Some can read it Jokepal :))


When we were enervated and our minds were looking for some more points(as it happens in almost all the discussions), I popped up with an absurd thought and asked him, "Shall we go to Delhi?" He looked at me with his eyes looking straight in mine and I could notice that his gaze was razor sharp, "What for?" I looked away and said with a smile on my face, "To join Anna Hazare!"


After that point, our discussion ran into some other arena. He started generation-difference talks and we ended up on a conclusion from his side,"Look, we have our families to feed, other duties to be done. You go to a college and I work. Besides, you are young and free. So, these absurd thoughts visit you! And you talk about joining the movement. Politics is dirty game boy, discussion is good but stay away!"


I could not present my thought as I thought to feed him with my conclusion after some time. But after he left, I pondered over his final words and my mind put forth some challenging questions like: Should we be so selfish to live or lives carefree? Joining a movement or campaign against injustice is being careless towards your duties? The generation gap and the fanatic young behavior is what we lack or is it what we should shed down? Is it bad to have these absurd thoughts visiting you, even at age of 60?


My mind settled to its own conclusion,"Whatever be his conclusion, I would do whatever I can, maybe we all should get over that 'responsibility-home-politics-fanatic' rhetoric and muster the courage to think young. I think this is what we lack(We all Indians lack!)


So, I have decided to be with Anna Hazare. I cannot stand to his side, but I will keep fast on 16th with him in this city. After-all city doesn't matter, what matters is being united and strong!


If anyone is willing to join me then, do comment and contact me! We can do something to support the right and make our motherland feel the pride!


Jai hind Jai bharat!

Song of the week (5)

Lyrics

Yeah, Oh

I stare at your face

Into your eyes

Outside there's so much passing us by

All of the sounds

All of the sights

Over the earth and under the sky

Too much cold and too much rain

Too much heartache to explain

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Oh no no

I walk on the street

Talk in the dark

I see peoples dreams just falling apart

I open my arms

Tried to be true

Seems like my only truth is you

Am I wrong

Or am I right

All I want is you tonight

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the stars so bright and the grass so green and the morning light

Who needs the wind to blow and the tide to rise

Who needs it...I don't know

I don't know

Yeah

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the world when I've got you

Switch off the sun the stars and the moon

I've all I need inside of this room

Who needs the world when I've got you

Who needs the world when I've got you 

God bless us!

A tacit lesson!

"Determination of a soul is never estimated in its dwelling, it is buried in its heart..."

I first met Naveen in a cineplex, some six months back. He was not my friend. My friend Ashish introduced me to him. After that, I met him in this month. To me, his first impression was of a guy, who is a gullible personality and loves to live carefree. But this time when I visited his place, I found that first impression should not always be taken seriously(keep love to a side:))...

At his place, I discovered inspirational stuff pasted on walls, all around. I asked him what he wants to be? And he said that he has always wanted to be an IAS officer. He also showed me his magazine, which is technical journal, published every month. 

I took some pictures and told him that he has done something good to me. He kept asking me what? And after all I told him that he has proven me wrong about judging him in our first meeting.

Thanks Naveen, for proving me wrong and teaching me a tacit lesson!

God bless you brother!

Burning in love brings color of your heart as true as a maple leaf...

'Nothingness'

Some times, I just cannot cease,

this long length of nothingness,

It is like being frozen in your own shell,

for a time span as long as infinite,

maybe, it is a bit odd to say your feelings,

but what is holding me back?

Is it you? or this side of mine?

its like falling, on a dry autumn day,

to the floor, under a tree,

as same as a maple leaf,

you fall and stay there, till,

wind comes and sweeps you to a direction,

where you stay calm, but helpless,

like the very some times,

when nothingness maps its footsteps,

on a long span of tacit infinite,

this is inside you, inside me,

inside everybody,

a short span of emptiness,

but a long nothingness...

My unrest

'Tonight'

"Tonight, I am in unrest,

all matters are twisted and

 they have made a safe,

under my chest,

some beats might go unheard,

some sighs might get buried 

under this burden,

and whatever sleeps,

is not me, but a shadow 

craving for some rest,

maybe, I need some shoulder,

some miraculous touch to find my anguish,

maybe some sweet voice which would heal,

my unheard yelling,

but tonight, baby,

this night, I am lonely,

as all I find alive in me,

is my sole heart, near

 the safe, under my chest,

where matters are still twisted,

and all that rests, is the unrest..."

First 1000

This is 11:15 am in morning. I have a smile on my face and this smile is because just now I made it 1000 views. Maybe it is not anything as compared to top bloggers, but I am happy that some people care to review my work over here. So, thank you all for your support! I make a tacit vow to keep posting and make you feel surprised with new elements of my writing. 


Love

Glee Cast - Hello Lyrics

I’ve been alone with you inside my mind

And in my dreams I’ve kissed your lips a thousand times

I sometimes see you pass outside my door

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

I can see it in your eyes

I can see it in your smile

You’re all I’ve ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide

‘Cause you know just what to say

And you know just what to do

And I want to tell you so much, I love you …

I long to see the sunlight in your hair

And tell you time and time again how much I care

Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow

Hello, I’ve just got to let you know

‘Cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven’t got a clue

But let me start by saying, I love you …

Hello, is it me you’re looking for?

‘Cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven’t got a clue

But let me start by saying … I love you
