Through storm and stress, it finds its way,
A quiet peace within the fray.
It’s not the rush, nor endless chase,
But calm, unhurried, steady grace.

Like rivers carving paths through stone,
Patience grows, unseen, alone.
With every breath, it teaches me
That even waiting sets me free.

So I’ll sit still, though time may bend,
And knowing all bad things have their end.

-

Somedays I miss the bond.
But then I remember the disrespect and hurt.

-

On this day, we stand and see,
The strength, the heart, the dignity,
The quiet battles you fought each day,
In countless, unnoticed ways.

With steady hands, with gentle might,
You rise before the morning light,
To carve a path, to pave a way,
To lead, protect, and never sway.

In silent struggles, you remain,
Through joy and sorrow, loss and gain.
A guiding light in stormy seas,
A solid oak beneath the breeze.

For all you are, for all you give, for all you will be,
Today we honor how you live.
To every man, both strong and true,
This day is set aside for you.

जब देखा तो हर भीड़ का हिस्सा बनी,
जब सोचा तो बस चंद लोग ही अपने थे।

People will come and people will leave…
You will think that they are your best friends,
or your favourite office colleague,
or someone who you know very well,
or just a person you met few months back.
With time now they know some particular things about you.
Some part of your stories.
They have seen some of your versions.
And in between of a random day you will
just realise that they will also leave just like others,
They will also backstab you just like others.
They will also screw things up just like others.
They will forget you when they will see their people around them.
They will leave you behind when they have their favourites around.
They will discuss you with their person.
You will be their topic for gossip.
Still you want them in your life ??
Still you trust them ??
They still have your trust but to what extent ??
What if you are just an option for them
when their best friends or their favourite person is not around ??
What if ??

Bottling up big feelings can be dangerous I know.
But how to open up to people when you desperately want to but also don’t want to show.
You are just sitting there blankly staring at that white wall.
Some thoughts juggling around your head
but you don’t have a way out at all.
Questions and answers are playing hide and seek.
And you know how it feels but you then can’t speak.
All of a sudden getting triggered by someone’s actions, a song or an old photograph.
And then you try to write it down in a paragraph.
Selective memory plays a part.
Some remains ever present and some becomes past.
As night embraces the day,
and then I am the first one to say.
Am I the only one who is still stuck here ?
And no where to go ??
Time has stopped it seems and I know!!
This feeling of emptiness still haunts me on somedays.
But then in the morning as light comes in from that window
I am okay !! again in someways.

-

Having to learn how to live without you is a lesson I never wanted to learn.
It’s been 11 years !! today Baba.
I still imagine you in every empty seat I sit beside. And everything I did I thought you should be here. I wish time was kind to you and to us.
There is so much I wanted to tell you.
So much I wish I said.
Now I tell it to the stars, hoping you're there.
I still miss the sound of your voice, the wisdom in your advice, the stories of your life and just being in your presence.
So no, time changes nothing.
I still miss you just as much today as I did the day you left us forever .
I miss you a little louder on my silent days.
Birds still sing on bad days. And I am trying to remain grateful for that.
And may be when we are ready, we’ll meet again.

-

Let yourself be a mess today.
You will become you again.
Coz it’s okay after all.

-

A little lost and a hell tired!!

-

Don’t let people drain your energy, drain your vibe and drain everything that you have.
