Can You Answer This ?

"What does my heart want ?"some people spend their life listening to it yet there are some who keep its voice hidden beneath thousand folds concerned only with worldly duties.What is the difference between these two type of individuals,type I lives their life as they wish irrespective of others opinion about them and type II lives bound by selflessness even ignored by others when they are no longer needed.These facts are quite obvious to anyone who has observed life closely but one is forced to think and rethink about it after certain miss-happening especially  with type2 .The reasons for this condition may vary person to person but what  does ultimately such a person get for all the goodness?angel -like existence that preferred others over  self  ironically to be killed slowly hurt by their ignorance.Such people may be praised after they are no more,but is there life after death?Will they get a reward for sacrificing now in next birth?"being selfish or selfless? ,whom do you like God?To whom you are just?"When that person with a golden heart be happy in this birth or next one (if it exists )...?"  I don`t know,but I am curious,badly curious to know which is the right way to live? Can anyone answer???

The Masquerade

 

   Everything you do or anything you don`t do
  ah,its part of this masquerading

 
Keeping  hidden the wretched true self
putting on masks to look appealing

They leave the vulnerable ones
but applause seeing you smiling

Burdened by praises you fall
greeting the world so glittering

One day test them in hard times
astounded you notice them vanishing

Look at thy soul choked by vanity
save 'yourself' before its difficult finding!

BE YOURSELF

For smiling frequently u`ll be called foolish,for speaking the truth can be ignored,for remaining silent considered proud and for asking for help may be labeled selfish still don`t hesitate 'TO BE YOURSELF'  what others think of you depends on their perception and what you are nobody knows better than YOU...!

Koshish Karne Walon Ki Kabhi Haar Nahin Hoti

Lehron se darkar nauka par nahin hoti,

koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti,

Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai,

chadti deewaron par, sau bar phislati hai.
Mun ka vishwas ragon mein sahas bharta hai,

chadkar girna aur girkar chadna na akharta hai.

Akhir uski mehnat bekar nahin hoti,

koshish karne walon ki haar nahin hooti.

Dubkiyam sagar mein gotakhor lagata hai,

ja ja kar khali haath laut ata hai.

Milte na sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein,

badhta dugna utsah isi hairani mein.

Muthi uski khali har bar nahin hoti,

Koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahi hoti.
 

Asaflta ek chunoti hai ise sweekar karo,

kya kami rey gayi hai deekho aur sudhar karo.

Jab tak na safal ho neend chain ki tyago tum,

Sangharsh ka maidain chodkar mat bhago tum.

Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti,

koshish karne walon ki kabhi haar nahin hoti.

My Journey

Towards horizon I sail,

slammed by waves

and tugged ahead through fiery oars of will,

a distant lighthouse gives hope to move on...

the timeless search for 'MYSELF' has just begun!

Mother Nature

 

Day by day we use courtesy showing gratitude for trivial favors receiving smiles and more favors in return.Moving ahead are not we forgetting silent yet eternal Mother Nature?The breeze we breath in is a boon of nature,the fragrant flowers  are used in abundance for celebrating our joys or to moan in grief but ignorant man keeps on using nature`s  gifts without  saying a word to thank.The trees decorated on festivals reflect elitism,happiness and next day again considered useless so the cruel man cuts their branches to develope his nation.The arrival of rain inspires musicians who are honoured with  heavy garlands and poor rain is cursed for traffic jams or causing floods by newspapers.In a  famous work of Sidney it is said that, "Nature`s world is brazen, the poets only deliver a golden".'ironically he could not realize that its nature that makes poets.The lovely birds are caged for entertainment in the emancipated countries of the world.The awakened man with knowledge of global warming does not hesitate in increasing it further.

     Since the creation of Eden Mother nature gives all her gifts before being asked by her children but man`s  desires are insatiable so he always wants more.The nature cries in agony yet there are very few to wipe her tears...feel her pain  before she abandons you repenting!

A Character

I marvel how Nature could ever find space
For so many strange contrasts in one human face:
There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom
And bustle and sluggishness, pleasure and gloom.

There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain;
Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain
Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease,
Would be rational peace--a philosopher's ease.

There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds,
And attention full ten times as much as there needs;
Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy;
And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy.

There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare
Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there,
There's virtue, the title it surely may claim,
Yet wants heaven knows what to be worthy the name.

This picture from nature may seem to depart,
Yet the Man would at once run away with your heart;
And I for five centuries right gladly would be
Such an odd such a kind happy creature as he.

The Evolution

craved  for distant,unknown experience
yet smiled in  infantile innocence

the charming,jubilant thing of beauty
but  more improved by glow of reality

relinquished wishes ended shortly as ripples
and garnered strength to end all troubles


Learnt how to find hope in  dark monotony
could only befriend those who admire lucidity

renounced the fragile -self with passing time
still accepted the Lord`s wish as most sublime!

जो बीत गई सो बात गई

Silence

A lot of things are said without  phrased words or sentences.
Can`t you  feel what silence expresses?
In the tranquil vacuum of mere silence,
There is much more than words that seem to make sense...!
