They gave me a bunch of drying petals
and asked me to create something worthy.
I created perfumes.

Now they want the drying petals back
as they expected me to make bookmarks instead.

Ironically, some people cannot
tolerate cruelty towards animals,
but treat human beings like animals!

And I know too many of these!

I look not at the light
While i walk in the dark
For shadows too can lie
When you walk through
lanes filled with people.

I fear them.
They talk.
They perceive.
They assume.
They rip you apart.
With their folk-tales,
They mock.

So I prefer my shell.
I prefer solace.
For shadows too can lie
When you walk through
lanes filled with people.
Dead people.
'Cos their souls are dead.

You can fight a battle
Only on a 'fair' battlefield

-

You reach an ENOUGH at one point in life.
That's when you want to stop stressing
about meetings with colleagues
and start stressing over other important things
like your child's homework
and your spouse's next Valentine's gift.

-

I miss the days when I could speak out my mind
Now every word out of me is expected to be sugar-coated.

-

Move on.
You were not made to be stuck in a rut.

-

Only good begets good.
Another day passes that
evidences why all humans
are not blessed with peace.
I observe. I learn.
My faith in Karma reinstates!

-

I am walking through a field
full of thorns scattered around
and I have no other way to go...
If I stop there are spears and daggers
running behind me that will pierce.
My heart will still breathe
or so do I believe...
'Cos they will only attack my back.
So I will keep the tread on
and choose the thorns under my feet,
lest I let their daggers reach me.

There is no such thing as a thankless job.
It's the people around that are ungrateful.
