Like a kaleidoscope,
that shows different
images to everyone
who looks inside,
the world too,
is a different experience
for everyone
who's ever
walked in here.

-

When little humans
learn to take big steps
and we allow them
to walk by themselves
as we should,
we're all sometimes,
a little afraid of
them going a bit too far
and hurting themselves
as they vanish out of our sight.

I saw a tree
quietly selecting
and shedding off
its leaves that were
not required any longer
and it was only then that
I realized that I too,
should let go of people
and places that do not
bring me peace
any longer.

You can't remould
or soften up the clay
that has dried up
and hardened.
You can only
break it into
pieces.

People too,
can't be changed
once their hearts
have hardened
and become indifferent.

I wonder,
if it's our own doing
that shapes our destiny
or if we're predestined
to choose what we choose in life.

Either way,
we do not get to decide
what happens to us,
after we've made our choices.

The tighter you hold on to sand,
the quicker it slips away from your hand.

People are like sand too;
the more suffocated,
they feel in a place or with a person,
the sooner they are going to leave.

It stays in your heart for a week,
in your mind for a day,
in your memory for an hour
and then it goes away,
slowly and gradually
like everything else,
as another headline
comes your way,
because every news is a story
until it happens to you.

-

Most of what we feel
about ourselves is based
on how the others in our life,
feel about us.

In a way, we're all sunflowers
growing only as much
as the Sun allows us to.

Flipping through old birthday snaps,
a tear rolled down her cheek.

Out of all the people present in it,
she missed herself the most.— % &

There is a certain limit
to the number
of times that you can
say sorry to a person
for repeating your mistakes
over and over again.

It is like an OTP
that is valid for only
a given time,
after which it expires
and becomes useless.
