People are like the ocean—
Vast, endless, unknown.
No one truly knows
What lies beneath the surface,
How deep they go,
Or what storms they've weathered in silence.

I sometimes wonder how lucky those are who have someone who wants to listen to them about their day, especially about their long, dark nights. I wonder how much they would lose if one such person were to disappear from their life; will these intrigue people, who have many listeners, even flinch?

I don't pluck flowers anymore,
I do want to have them,
but they look better on plants I think,
I think, I won't be doing them justice
by using them for myself.

But I love their fragrance,
I like to hold them in my hands,
want to keep staring at them.
So maybe I should do me the favour.

There will come a day,
we no longer will have this connection,
which we cherish so much,
our paths which once used to cross often for no reason
no matter how distinct our journeys were,
will then cross coincidentally,
and it too will make us realize,
how far we are.

Ye jo manjar hai khubsurat sa,
humein dikhai nahi deta,
hum hai musafir manjil ke,
humein kuch sunai nahi deta.

Haan thahar jaayenge hum bhi kahi,
Kabhi na kabhi,
magar vo din aaj nahi.

-

ऐसे ही आए थे, इसे ही चले जायेंगे
खुद को थोड़ा छोड़, तुझे कुछ ले जाएंगे।

I was waiting
for the right moment to come,
it came, I started to do the right thing
but the moment ended.

But if I had done the right thing all the time ?

You're where you are
because of the decisions you made
consciously or subconsciously.

So blame no one
and take responsibility,
don't even blame yourself
it's no use crying over the spilled milk.

Just think how you can improve
your present situation
and start working,
don't just keep on thinking.

-

You think you will look bad, if you act as yourself.

So, to not look bad or to look good, you act as someone you're not, you do this every day, every minute.
So, no matter how close one might get to you, they won't be able to know you because you aren't left in you anymore, even if there's a little you left, you won't reveal yourself.

-

Will I remain me, if I keep changing?
I don't know.
But, if I don't change, how will I improve?
And if I don't improve, how will my life get any better?
And if my life doesn't get better, won't all the efforts I put up until now become naught.

But if I change, will I remain me?
