The Road To A Happy Life

O Lord! Take me for a ride,
I'm in need of a guide,
Who will change my life’s tide,
So far it has been carried out, hobbies and interests denied,

I hunt aimlessly for a life that provides happiness & fulfillment,
I’ve been hunting for roads away from a world of resentment,
I’ve spent years seeking cures to life’s ailment,
I’m tired of people with hearts of hard cement,

I don’t know whether the people I love care for me in the same way,
People who seem to be innocent turn out evil someday,
Being straightforward and honest is thought to be passe,
If I don’t find my way then I’ll remain forever astray,

I’m ready to tread on the best path through thick and thin,
If the situations demand I will happily leave my kin,
If need be I’ll fight the devils that ruin from within,
Nobody dare block my way as I’m determined to win,

MY AMBITION

Ever since, I reached grade five, my language kept improving, and, by the time I passed out from grade ten, it had become good enough to make my ambition of becoming a writer of stories. I had always had that ability to channel my ideas easily into words.    I was always trying to express myself through words. When I was about 2 and a half, I got this problem of repeating words thrice, slowly this problem receded, but, I remained a shy speaker in my class till I reached grade ten. In the farewell, I took the emotional approach of saying goodbye to my friends by making a speech, laced with a thank you to some bullies who had made my life miserable, but, also contributed to my becoming a rock of calmness amidst all I suffered in words. I kept myself cool and showed these bullies the door out of my mind. The bullies used to strike me down by telling me about my physical frailties. But, they didn't know my mental toughness which was on display when I gave my parting speech ...

Magical Rain

Black clouds close out the sun’s hot rays, The hot Earth waits for the cool water, It looks as if the sky sheds tears for the Earth, The time nears for Earth’s rebirth. The clouds opens the taps wetting the Earth, Seeing that all my sorrows get washed away, I look at kids running onto the street to play, The wet smell of the Earth refreshes me. Rain drives away dust and pollution cleaning air Cooling the wind & our minds too, Rain makes the surroundings magically green, Making our creativity reach heights unforeseen.

Wait For Me Bro!

We only realize the value of our best friends only when they move apart. When they are near, we are always there with them. When they don't live in the same city, one can suddenly feel distant. But, in this age of social networking and video calling, no one is far away. I'm going to narrate you a story about friendship that defeats time and distance to endure. Aakash and Varun had lived the past ten years together. As they approached the end of school, they that their ways would part. They had shared many moments. On many occasions they helped each other out. Aakash backed Varun to play football for the school, while he himself captained the school in cricket. Many times, both endured punishments together. pMany people tried to make their friendship sour, especially the bullies. Even the rumour creating gang of girls which irritated everyone. They had never let ego come in between.They always had the back of each other. The prospect of being separated in pursuit of the...

Troubled Teens

The people who enter teenage now have very little experience of the real world. They're just too busy in the virtual world of games, social networking. Most teens prefer keeping in contact with their friends through WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat. Some of them find it difficult to interact verbally. The biggest advantage is that one can interact with far away cousins and friends that one made in another city. Social media applications also allow picture and video sharing. In addition, one can follow their favourite sportspersons and personalities. The trouble comes when hackers, fake page operators and cyberbullies are involved. People are liable to spending precious “me” and “family” time. A few become lost in this world and can encounter some terrible things. The case in vogue, right now is the Blue Whale game. Many people have been sucked into this suicidal game. What I really want to say is, the use of social media is good, but, excess use can ...

Problems Of Eastern India Part I

India is a country with major national issues to be solved being at hand to be solved. Many of these problems are found in the mineral rich eastern parts of the country where low economic development has lead to drastic illiteracy, poverty leading to armed struggle from the tribals in the form of the Naxal movement.   The Naxalites have a huge presence in this region, controlling heavily forested areas. They  are tribals who rose up against the government in the late 1970s.The conflict goes back to the failure of implementing the 5th and 9th Schedules of the Constitution of India. These Schedules provide for limited tribal autonomy towards exploiting natural resources on their lands and land ceiling laws which limit land to be possessed by landlords, as well as distribution of excess land to landless farmers and labourers. The caste system is a big social aspect of this conflict too. The Central and State Governments have been fighting vigorously to protect innoc...

People In Your Life

All through life we meet people, Some with emotions that are fickle, Some leave memories that make you tearful, Some will leave you feeling empty and feeble, Some will push you to work harder,  They know what you're made of,  They have faith in your abilities,  Never ever let them down, Some strangers will make your heart their home,  They will make your life nothing less than paradise,  Keep them close to you and love them,  They will put their hand up when your own desert you… No one in the world knows you better than your parents,  They see to it that we never have to face the troubles they did,  Our family shares with us sad and happy moments,  When you drift off the right path you will be helped back onto it…  Never lose hope because you never walk alone…

Dreams & Goals

Open your eyes my dear friend, It's a new day that brings new hopes, Let's  climb the peak you want to ascend, Don't look at how steeply it slopes, The moment you do, your dream will die, You'll see bodies of those who dropped dead, Don't you look behind as you will be alone, No one accompanies you on this lonely road, The thoughts in your mind will torment you, To stop walking, to go back to your home, Your loved ones will come in dreams calling you, Don't listen to your mind until you've reached the top.

Changing People

We don't know our true friends, Out of all who claim to be true friends, Not sure whom to trust with our confidences, As everyone spreads rumours about our life. Growing up, we make loads of friends, Most of these friendships soon die of neglect, The few that remain need to be fed time, A resource in low supply and high demand, Make relations the priority not money… By the time we realize what our life is gonna be, We've already spent a small part, Don't let that realization go waste, We're all here for a while make it worth, Find happiness in simple things. Your actions speak more than your words, Choose wisely what you want to do, All of us speak good, yet, don't act good, Be true to your words, Only then can others be their true self around you. Even after achieving success we're empty inside, The race leaves the people we love behind, Sometimes they forget that people change, Or the fact that everyone is different.

Finding Your Talents

I have struggled and fought right through my teenage to find out who I really am. There was a lot of self doubt  about whether I could really do anything substantial in life. Funny thing is till the start of August 2016, I had taken the decision to not pursue graduation. Most of my friends advised me that I had done the wrong thing. Even my teachers were of the same opinion. I wasn't ready to agree with them. My reducing energy was reason enough for me to stop studying. For 3 months, I was at home, trying to figure out what to do next. Suddenly, my father told me that I should go to a stock broker's office and learn how money can be put to use for producing more. For a month, I just looked at how everything worked. Soon, I was doing investment myself. By the time 6 months, were over, I had already made about 12-13% profit. I don't have any faith left in the education system that our country has prioritizes memory above each individual’s all round development. Yes, I have ...
