Once a friend during her arrange marriage said to her friend
"I can't compromise anything"
The friend said, "There's a subtle difference between compromise and adjustment
Compromise comes with pain and adjustment with love
If you love someone you'll adjust anything
If you don't, you'll need to compromise.

As a 30 year old or above, what would you like to teach me as a 26 year old person?

-

It’s almost laughable —
how people can’t stand
a clumsy, playful soul,
laughing, jumping around,
living like it’s nothing.

It stirs their jealousy —
How can he be so careless,
and yet so happy?
While I’ve achieved so much,
and still feel empty.

We were all taught —
men shouldn’t cry,
men shouldn’t play,
men must be warriors,
tough and composed.

Yet there he is —
clumsy and free,
while I, so serious,
can’t remember
what happiness feels like.

"Heaven is home to me,
The Almighty, my dearest one.
After this short vacation called life,
He sends His driver — Death —
An old acquaintance, come again,
To take me home, where my God lives"

In the end, he greeted Death like an
Old friend

Every beautiful thing emerges
After experiencing pain
Every painful labour
Or painful hardwork
Or a painful heartbreak

Once you understand the beauty of pain
In a world full of it.
You get only the beauty, And the pain goes away.

"क्या मैं इतना बुरा हु?
क्यों मुझसे प्रेम नहीं करता वो?"
"क्या मेरे प्रेम में कोई कमी थी? शायद मैं सच में बुरा हु!"

अपने अंदर के उस मासूम बच्चे को देखकर
दिल में एक विरह पैदा हुआ
ठीक जैसे एक गरीब भूखे बच्चे को देख
उसका दर्द कम करने की बेचैनी होती है।

"दर्द हो रहा है? कोई बात नहीं, मैं हु ना?
तुम तो मेरे आत्मा के सबसे प्रिय अंश हो!
भला मैं तुम्हें कैसे रोने दूं "
कहते ही, मेरे उस दर्द भरे आत्मा को
जैसे आज़ादी मिल गई।

विरह वह खूबसूरती है, जो स्वामित्व से मुक्त करता है
विरह "तुम मेरे, मैं तुम्हारा" होने का अहंकार तोड़ता है
विरह एक प्यारा मित्र है, जो प्रेम पाने को तरसता है।

If choosing my heart
Makes me less intelligent
Makes me less practical
Then I'll remain a fool
For my entire life

Whatever we gained knowledge,
Whatever we experience throughout
Makes up our "Reality"

And whatever reality we've created
Might be a lie for others
Whatever reality they've created
Might be a lie for us

That's why, us humans can never imagine
What pain one goes through
They think their sufferings are worse than the others.
That's why, we humans, never understand how to be understanding.

A wise person, understand this.
He forgives those
Who doesn't contemplate these.
A wise person knows how to be open minded.

Back that day, I used to breakdown a lot
I used to promise a lot, yet never learnt to keep any
I used to understand the importance of my life
Understand what makes a man, a man of virtue
What are those virtues, what makes a man wise
Looking back at how far I came
I realised many things
I understand that my father was born
To pull the curse of poverty
And I am born, to become a virtuous one.
To teach the lessons to the upcomings early,
That I understood very late in my life
I understand now, that each person contributes in their life
Whatever they're capable of
For the betterment of the upcomings

For neither our forefathers are the "King"
Nor I'm the "King", but the upcomings.

It's easy to be impatient, be patient anyway
It's easy to be angry, be calm anyway
It's easy to be jealous, be admiring anyway
It's easy to be boastful, be humble anyway
It's easy to breakdown, endure pain anyway
It's easy to lie, be honest anyway
It's easy to be lazy, be persistent anyway

Embrace those values, Give your life in line
To save those values you stand by
