A Reason To Smile

Like every other girl

She had her dreams

To soar high in the sky like a kite

With dreams and ambitions

She stepped into the city

Which seemed to welcome her

With open arms

Naive, yes she was

She believed everyone

It was a dark and raining

The sky lit up with lightning

And roared with thunder

And there she was

Lying in a pool of mud

Surrounded by unfamiliar faces

Laughing at her

They were her offenders

They walked away

She slowly gathered herself

Shattered, yes she was

She looked up in the sky

And asked "Why?"

Even the Gods didnt have an answer

The thunder, the lightning, the rain

The whole universe felt disgusted

She reached her home

Locked herself in

She cried her heart out

She cut herself

She had suicidal thoughts

She wanted to die

Broken, yes she was

Into several pieces

And then she heard

A small voice inside herself

Are you strong or weak?

Asked the voice

I was strong but am not now, she replied

Are you a winner or a loser?

It asked even more strongly

I was a winner, but now I have lost it all..

The voice asked her to stand, She declined

And then she had a dream

She dreamt about her dreams

Dreams that had always kept her going

She cried in pain

Blamed her dreams for her current state

She blamed herself for everything

And, then an angel flew to her

And pointed out towards a star

She saw her parents

With open arms and unconditional love

You are a fighter, a survivor

There's more to life than this, they said

All of a sudden she felt strong

She found hundreds of reasons to live

There she rose

And stood back on her feet

With a new found courage

And a goal to achieve

To be an inspiration

For not only others like her

But for every person

Who had lost all reasons to live

She rose like a phoenix

Rose from the ashes of her shattered self

Stronger and tougher than ever before

Ready to take all the challenges

That would come her way

Only to emerge as a winner

She marched ahead

And never looked back

The dark clouds disappeared

The stars shined brighter that day

 A pleasant breeze blew

Expressing the universe's jubilance

For it had finally resurrected its dearest child

And gave her thousands of reasons to smile!!!!!

Life!!!!

ज़िन्दगी चलती जाती है

वक़्त बीतता जाता है

दोनों के साथ हम भी आगे बढ़ते जाते हैं

कभी सफलता माथा चूमती है

कभी हार का सामना करना पड़ता है

दोनों का हाथ थामे हम आगे बढ़ते जाते हैं

कुछ हंसी के पल होते हैं

कुछ गम के साये से घिरे होते हैं

दोनों की अच्छाई को मन में रख हम आगे बढ़ते जाते हैं

लोग पूछते हैं- क्या तुम थकते नहीं?

क्या कभी तुम्हे उफ़ तक नहीं लगती?

हम कहते हैं- 

ज़िन्दगी जिंदादिली का नाम है, मुर्दा दिल खाक जिया करते हैं 

और हम आगे बढ़ते जाते हैं!!!!!

silences....unspoken thoughts

Hm mm, so I am back after a very very long gap. I hope at least some people missed me (just kidding!!). So, welcome to Speak Ur Mind, break ke baad!!!

For all these days, there was a long silence...So, I thought why not write something on silence... We all come across silences...be it while praying or right during the last ball of an interesting match of cricket or when we are scared to death or when we are baffled or.... and the list would go on and on and on. In short, we all experiences silences in different ways, during different phases of life. But. have we ever cared to listen to what this silence says? OK, neither am I insane nor have I gone crazy. I just happened to experience several such silent phases in the past few days, wherein I could hear what the silence was speaking.

Its actually fascinating to try to hear the unspoken thoughts that our mind, our conscience is trying to speak to us. It actually provides us with an opportunity to connect to our soul. Ever imagined, why saints often used to go to mountain tops to meditate? Why lovers look into each others eyes a lot of times? Why our mom's understand all our thoughts by just looking into our eyes? Because, a lot of things are said and understood in these situations. It's not that somebody says them out loud, but somebody says them louder without even making a single noise. That, is the power of silence, the power of unspoken thoughts.

When you unexpectedly win a competition or a jackpot or top in any exam, you feel as if you have run short of words. Even when you aren't saying anything, people are still able to understand everything, all your emotions. Similarly, when you are angry with your best friend, the silence between the two of you conveys it all. When the love of your life proposes you for marriage, the silence makes the situation more enjoyable, it says everything, you both can feel each and every emotion that your hearts are experiencing. When you are feeling sad and gloomy, the silence around you gives you company, even if you don't realize its presence. When we look at something beautiful, we are so mesmerized by its beauty that we are unable to talk. We become silent, we feel ecstatic. When you are lost and confused, the silence around you gives you the strength and the space to think things through providing you with a sense of direction. People always say that they experience extreme happiness and contentment when they meditate. The reason being nothing else than the silence that envelopes us and shields us from all the shearing forces around us. We connect with our inner self and experience the presence of that one supreme being, the universal force that holds us together. This leads to the extreme happiness, contentment; we feel elevated and elated. Silences can be frightening as well. When we are walking through a desolated lane, at night; when all we can hear are our own footsteps, the silence becomes eerie and freaks us out. But, at the same point of time, we hear our heart beat, calming us down, and we foster the courage to face whatever comes in our way.

I feel its extremely important to experience silences....to listen to the unspoken thoughts of the universe, of our mind.....to understand who we are, what we are, and of course where are we heading? I shall sign out now leaving you all to experience SILENCE!!!!! Sshhhhhhhh!!!! Enjoy!!!!

Pl feel free to share your thoughts on this topic. Discussions are always interesting!!!

lyf-----> move on!!!!

lyf is not a bed of roses!!!! who wuld disagree???? no one.... we all have had our own share of experiences, both good and bad ones..... the gud ones make us happy, and the bad ones make us sad and gloomy!!! but hv we ever thought how wuld lyf hv been if there werent any bad experiences..... we wuld hv been so weak.......

the happier ones boost our confidence but it is the sadder ones that strengthen us, that prepare us to take lyf as it comes, toughen us.....and most importantly, keep us human, teach us to value the postive things of our lyf, make us feel contented..... there wuld be times when nothing works in ur favor.... evrythn goes wrong, u feel like giving up, u feel as if u hv lost the battle, but remember this means u r closer to ur goal, coz God wants to really test whether u r worthy of the thing tht u r fighting for, whether u really know the true value of the goal that u r aspiring to reach...........never give up at this time, just say 2 urself tht its just another phase and ll pass off.... leading the way to ur goal ur destination..........

the biggest lesson that i have learnt so far is to keep on moving ahead in my lyf, come what may....ppl may think i have become stone hearted, one adamant, stubborn, heartless creature....but still i dont give a damn abt what others think abt me..... what matters is whether i am happy in what i am doing........i would rather be doing nothing than doing something that makes me unhappy. i might sound self centered, but tell me, what is the use of living someone else's lyf, when u urself r unhappy. there is no point in that........

u hv gt one lyf, live it on ur terms..... dat doesnt mean u completely ignore others.....if u do so then u r living an useless lyf... think of others but only to the extent where ur own individuality is maintained.... one shuld never compromise on that.....this is what i have learnt so far!!!! it was a tough lesson but its something that i wuld never forget.....

                                

                    I wuld live my lyf on my own terms............I wuld face each n every battle boldly...........I wuld take lyf as it comes.............I am not concerned abt victory...........nor am I afraid of defeats..........deep inside me I have a very strong feeling that I AM A SURVIVOR............All I know is to march ahead..... all i want is to move on...........
