I like to keep my circle small.

If you are in it, it's only after certain selection procedure, because of the standards of behaviour you set and what you promised, that's how my expectations were born.

So, you have an extra responsibility to atleast match up to if not exceed those standards that you yourself showed.

If you can't, then kindly understand when I turn into the erratic bitch (as you like to call lovingly) and kick your dead weight out of my home boat to the vast sea of people that really don't exist for me.

It's nothing personal, just survival.

She tried her best to be a part of his inner circle, but he kept pushing away, saying “ you don’t deserve to be here. These are my friends and you are nothing more than just an acquaintance to me”

My inner circle is very small.
Rather, it is a line,
Which I do not permit
anybody to tresspass.

Your inner circle speaks volumes about you as a person. They reflect your core beliefs. So choose them wisely. However, before building a tribe, make sure you ask yourself- What do I bring to the table? More often than not, we are quick to find flaws in others and oblivious to our own. Make sure your tribe is worthy of you and you are worthy of your tribe. Let go of the toxic people, embrace the ones that promote growth. You have every right to be selfish about your company and so does the other person.
Sometimes as we grow, the tribe may fall apart. Don't resist this. People grow at different rates. Don't be held back by anyone and don't hold anyone back either.
Learn to trust and be trusted. Learn to love and be loved. Learn to respect and be respected.
If it has to be forced then it's not friendship. Simply let go.

I always wanted to be a part of your inner circle.
Not another acquaintance you could abandon anytime ☹️

-

No. I will not share.
the secrets, I never told you.
not because you never asked me.
but because I did not trust you.

Or did you really think
you were the only one,
who has a story, underneath the story.

hidden well.
from every eye.

Attachments are hard to leave
The bonding for people who are no more
Can still make one cry
All preachings to be pragmatic
Wash away like a wave
Their aroma while they no more exist
In physical form
An inability to reach them when you desire
Is so human afterall
Yes noone lives forever
Wonder what would be the last thought
When the eyes close
And where would one land up
Skeptical of the new frame
Wish to be born from the same source
With same siblings in each life

नाव बदलते रहे लोग,
बस एक इस उम्मीद में
की अव्वल सा वो किनारा, जल्दी मिलेगा ....
कभी इस दर, तो कभी उस किनार,
कभी यहां की सुनी, तो कभी वहाँ पे कही,
कभी वहाँ से निकले, तो कभी यहां पे लौटे,

हमने ज़रूरतों का दायरा छोटा कर के देखा
तो सारी खुशियां बस एक हथेली भर में सिमट आयी
सुकून जो पाया, वो अपने ही दर पे था ।

-

I don't allow everyone
to enter in my inner circle..
But if I do..
I allow them all through.

-

पूरी जिदंगी ही तितर-वितर हो गयी,
कुछ बीते लम्हो में खुशियां तलाशते-तलाशते
