Always remember,
There may be moments you give upon yourself.
There is never a moment God has given upon you.

When you feel like it's the end.
Remember HE is the God of new beginnings.

We can't go back in time.
But our thoughts do.
It's one year since you left,
Stars fill the vaccum in the dark sky,
But what a lovely person you were,
Nothing could fill the vaccum you left.
You were too good that God took you to be with Him too early.

I still remember the stress you took to take leave from office to attend my marriage.
But what I have managed to do is get leave to attend your funeral.

Some clicks together, random calls, few conversations in chats in between our busy schedules are the only memories left.
Life goes on, but not the way it would have if you were with us.
Love you Vinay bava 💔.

We always dream to fly,
We plan to land at our favourite destinations.
But how strange and mysterious is time!!

Some came home to see loved ones,
Some came to take back loved ones to lovely nests they built like migrating birds abroad,
Some came to celebrate surprise birthdays,
Some came with backpacks to fill them with memories.

Some beginnings, many smiles, some goodbyes, many tears. All collapsed on building where brains are dreaming and studying to save many lives. How strange!!

Whom each would have talked to if they got one last chance? What they would have said?

Everybody saying their lives ended, but they remain in pain their loved ones carry forever!!
Do they leave through the tears being shed for them, no they stay in their memories always!!

When a seed is buried it's not the end,
it's the beginning.

The seed buried today grows tall against gravity, bears many fruits with many such seeds.

The place seed buried is not graveyard,
it becomes garden.

It's not the end, it's an explosion.

-

Those who do not stand by you when you are in need don't deserve to sit with you when you celebrate.

-

Sometimes we wish the sun doesn't set,

Face what you fear,
Sun is nothing but a star,
Life is nothing but a beautiful chance,
When you face it,
When you keep going beyond the sunset,
it's not the darkness you end up in,
that's when you see millions of shining stars.

In life, we go through experiences we wish we hadn't, but that's how the caterpillar becomes a butterfly.

We face obstacles too big for us, but that's how we learn to conquer mountains.

We sail through the ocean of tears, but we can't reach the shore of happiness if we stop there.

We wish the sunset doesn't set, but that's when we see millions of stars.

The tall tree seed, "It started as a small seed buried in the earth".
The butterfly said,"It was sealed in the cocoon".
The bird said,"It thought the sky was too high to reach with it's little wings".
The little tide said,"It was the last to reach the shore".
The kite said,"It thought the string is chain before it realised pulling the string doesn't bring it down but takes it high".
The house said,"It thought why they are taking too much time for building foundation".
The ocean said,"It began as lonely single water drop".
The pilot said,"He fell down many times learning to ride cycle".

Sometimes the beginnings may be hard, but keep going the Journey is beautiful.
Yesterday became today's beautiful memory,
Today becomes tomorrow's wonderful story.

When will you come back home?
The home that was once painted in black and white, which you later painted with layers of different colours for others to find it beautiful.
The home where you were once a small kid, which you left with big dreams.
The home where you savoured mama's sweet food, which you left to taste the buffet of life's bitter dishes.
The home where you learned to walk, papa used to lift you up even if you fall; which you left to run the race of continuous competition.
The home where you grew like a tender plant before you experienced summer heat, winter chill, heavy winds.
The home where you used to return from school in the evening, which you left to learn complicated lessons in university of life.
When will you return to the home of heart where you will find your true self whom you lost in becoming someone else for everyone around.
The home where your heart longs to be.
Your eyes want to see that kid who used to purely smile seeing in the mirror when mom is neatly combing the hair and saying to be careful whenever you go outside home.

When was the last time you wrote a letter?
Not that short message of Hi, Hello you send, but the one that starts by adding Dear to their name.
Not to judge how fast you get the reply, but to wait everyday with excitement to receive a warm envelope of words.
Not to check the single tick, double tick or blue tick, but to tell that you think of them as the time ticks and to check if they are fine.
Not just clicking like on those smiling pictures uploaded or to compliment those trendy DP pics but to ask with concern how they really are!!
Not to share short reels but to share deep feelings.
Not that good morning or good night texts, but to show you care & support on dark days and stay with them at sunset points of life till they see bright mornings.
Don't just type in those smart phones,
take time, fill pen with love, pick words from the heart and write a letter now because Time flies!!
