Let's be original!

We are living in a world where we all are so desperately seeking for attention, popularity and fame. And in process to achieve that, we have stopped becoming original but following people to gain attention. We are following the latest trend and fashion even if we are uncomfortable in it. We are following our friends, colleagues to compete in a race or to stand out from the rest. We are following this race every where from our real world to the virtual world like on Facebook, Twitter, Snap chat and Instagram. In today's world of internet, it has become so easy for us to peek in to other person's life and then we are trying to imitate them or to become better than them. We are so filled with jealousy, competition that we are not living a life but running a race to win.

I am not sure what are we competing for and what are we gaining from it? Why are we copying others? Why are we following what every one else is doing? Where is our own individuality? What is that which is our original? When we have been given our own comfort level, our own originality and our own brain then why aren't we using them? Why are we just trying to be cool or hot? Why can't we just stay as a normal human being!

It's high time that we understand that life is not a race where we have to win from others. Let's just stop running and start enjoying our own originality. Let's fall in love with our own self the way we are.

Fly high!

Flying high in the sky was my aim

Since many months i was thinking to do the same

I practiced hard to learn how to fly

only on myself i wanted to rely

Once i jumped from a building so high

i was so happy and said goodbye

my dream to fly high was about to be fulfilled

unfortunately i fell in to a pond as if i died

Soon, my dream to fly got broken in my eyes

all hopes and dreams ended being a lie

I was injured badly and couldn't walk

People laughed on me and with them i didn't talk

Injuries were healed soon and i started walking

What left was still that broken dream of flying

My life was existing and i stopped living it anymore

Same dream popped in to my eyes which i couldn't ignore

Restless and frustrated was me all those times

For people, that dream to fly was a crime

I couldn't stop myself from dreaming or raising hopes

It wasn't possible for people to tie my legs with ropes

I went to that tall building again with a parachute

To the people who were down, i gave them a salute

i jumped again and thought about my dream

So high that time was my self esteem

I was flying with peace of mind

When i was in air, the feeling was so divine

The satisfaction of fulfilling my dream was visible

in my eyes and that moment was so unforgettable

Don't stop dreaming if you fail once in life

dream again and keep trying to be alive

Fly high and don't just exist in life

make your identity and live forever in one life

GOOD BYE!

I was happy in my lonely world

And was listening to my own words,

My nature was like a silent sea

Quiet, shy and introvert was me!

You came with a calm smile on your face

Your intense eyes was like a maze,

Ordinary were you for me that time

But our meeting blew away the wind chimes!

Curious and inquisitive were both of us

And wanted to observe and understand together,

 We talked a lot to know each other

And wanted to spend more time together!

The more we were eager to understand

The more complex and difficult it was for us,

Two different and unique individuals

Met to form a beautiful visual!

Slowly we came to know each other

Every bad and good qualities were known to us,

I became the mirror for you

And you were the mirror for me!

We fought, we argued,we talked a lot

We laughed, we smiled and we shouted,

 You became a close friend of mine

Caring and motivating were you for me!

But there came a storm in the sea

As the weather changed to rainy,

The sea wasn't silent anymore

I became talkative and funny!

Soon, life changed and you got busy

Other important things took our time,

There were no more heartfelt talks

Clock hands had a long round walk!

Ten years passed like a wind

And we both saw each other again,

There was an awkward silence in the beginning

Meeting again must have been written in destiny!

We took few minutes to open up again

Silence was then converted to laughter,

I didn't talk this much from past many years

And never found someone so dear!

Reviving those same old moments

Rain drops are falling from the sky,

Making an effort to hold you for some more time

Its always so hard to say a good bye!

Kho gayi ho mein kahi!

Kho gayi ho mein kahi

Ab tak jee rahi thi main

kise aur jaha me

jo alag tha is duniya se

aaj woh jaha meri nazar me nahi

woh jaha nahi to mein bhi

kho gayi ho kahi

Lag rahe the jo sab mere apne

aaj sab anjaane se hai

socha tha unhe apne jaha ka

aaj woh jaha nahi

to woh bhi

kho gaye hai kahi

Apne aap se mulakat jo hoti thi

khub saari baatein hoti thi

aaj me bhi nahi

aur woh baate bhi

kho gayi hai kahi!

Life gives me a reason to live!

Life gives me a reason to live

when i see your face with a smile

I feel you so near even when

the distance between us is in miles

The innocence in your heart

make you so different from the rest

Your face and the expressions

relieves me from all the stress

You talk about your dreams and passions

which remember me of my forgotten ambitions

Because of you becoming an inspiration

My life has now got a mission

Your intense eyes speak more

than what you say with your words

The conversations with you is so pleasing like

in the morning, it's chirping of birds

I wish the winds should keep on blowing

Just to see your hairs flying in the air

Your eyes,your face and your hairs

With all my dedication i want to stare

Every moment spent with you is special

And i will cherish them forever

The intelligent conversations between us

should last forever as it make me more clever

May this life goes on with the same you and me

As life gives me a reason to live

when i see your face with a smile

I feel you so nearby even when

the distance between us is in miles!

Time to remember lost dreams!

 I am down with no hope

and living a life with no meaning

Day and night have turned so ordinary

Eyes always remains so teary!

All chidhood dreams are forgotten

when i go for a job to earn daily

Doing my daily work is not pleasing anymore

The inner confidence has also closed its door!

It seems that i am changed a lot

from an ambitious lady to just an ordinary one

I keep on complaining about my life

without realizing that it's me who can make it bright!

It's time to remember those lost dreams

which i once had and distinguish me from others

It's time that i start working on my goals

which will eventually give satisfaction to my soul!

I have to stand tall with my head held high

with a feeling of proud and joy in my heart

When once i will fulfill all my aims

Ordinary life will not remain the same!

Its time to remember those lost dreams

those dreams which are difficult and hard

I have to try and make an effort for them

So that i can turn one day to a living gem!

Have dreams and goals which will keep you going

It should be in your mind and not for showing

Try to achieve them by working hard

You will be favored by the destiny cards!
