Small Moments Matter

Life makes you learn that great lessons are hidden in small moments,
A few words in the heat of the moment hurt,
Some words of encouragement to your stressed friend,
These little things gain significance as days pass,

A few words from your mother after bad day at school,
Those hours together at school create lifelong friendships,
Those silly jokes and names created by friends,
Those game played with mates now distant memories,

A hug from your closest friend after a bad result
A kiss from your sister for the gift you gave her,
A pat on the back from Dad for your hard work,
These little shows of affection are what we miss when away,

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 ...

Letter To A Heartbroken Friend

Dear closed door heart, I know my friend how hurt you are feeling at the moment. There's not much to be found brooding over broken trust. There's not much to be found being a locked up heart too. Yes, trust is hard to earn and gain. Have you ever heard of a mountain goat that didn't want to climb a cliff just because it's hoofs were sliding all over? It kept trying until it eventually climbed up? Right? Yes, one can be a bit more circumspect about whom to trust. Yes, one can always talk a little less freely with people. I don't deny that. But, becoming an emotionless stone is never an option. Don't you forget I am still there for you. I will make sure every decision you make has my advice and approval. I will make sure you have my support when you feel wronged by someone. I will make sure you can always count on me. Your concerned friend.

Sometimes In Life

Sometimes in life, we stop doing the things that we love dearly. It maybe because of our laziness. It can also be attributed to the discovery of better things to do. If you love to do a particular activity then you don't need reasons to keep doing that. For instance, there was once a young man who loved to play the guitar. He was quite adept at it. One day, his attention was grabbed by the piano. He then went on to learn it too. But, he couldn't get quite as adept at it. So remember, never stop doing what you really love.

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.

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...

A Conversation With My Diary

Buddy what has happened? Why have you not scribbled on me? What happened to those nights? When I was the only thing you wanted. I know that you miss my touch buddy, But, I'm not able to pour the words, It feels as if a fairy stole them, She stole my words and my heart, Why didn't you feel like telling me? After all, I've recorded the stories of your crushes Then why are you hiding it from me? Did something or someone replace me? No, it's not like that, I admit I forget you! I admit I've hidden you in a corner! But, you know what? I regret that! I really do! Forgive me my first and most loyal friend! My favourite human, you're always cherished, Come, now, paint me with the hues of ink, Bleed your sorrows and your disappointments, Spill secrets, moments and people on me.

CHALLENGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT II

The world is always on the verge of war, the last year has brought some highly volatile conflicts in the Middle East. Syria, Iraq and Yemen are at the behest of militants, the countries where all this mayhem is on are rich in crude oil and many other minerals. The poverty in most African countries has kept on increasing.  Readers might be thinking why I am talking about all this, right? Well war is a drain on the resources of the world. The amount of fuel spent on carrying out attacks in enemy territory by land, air or water is a lot. The cost of rebuilding a war torn country takes a toll on the natural resources as building whole towns and cities dries the coffers of a country where everyone is unemployed as business is crippled by the war, it's an herculean task in a poor country. The growing poverty and malnutrition is also a challenge as more and more forests are at threat to grow food and fill stomachs of the poor especially in agriculture dep...

Friends

Friends are the people who light the lamps of happiness, We is the word that brings them to our consciousness, They remind us that there is no word called loneliness, The light that they ignite in our soul makes short work of sadness, So that our heart remains immune to hopelessness. Its difficult for people however different to be friendless, Our friends give us support in times one considers as hopeless, So that when we are restless we remember their support in distress, Their jokes and mischief lifts our spirits in times of stress, Their advice and similarity of opinion give us hope, In times when the only thing to do is cry and mope, Their cheerful faces and the fun moments spent with them  They are always there for us when situations become difficult to cope, In these situations their very presence is a strongest rope,  Fighting or not talking to them does not reduce their affection, However badly hurt they might feel by our word...

Silent Whispers

The wind doesn't know what it whispers these days, The weather has always held a power to amaze, Each time there's a different tune the rain plays, I don't like how dangerously the coconut tree sways. The heart was never afraid of being set on fire, I have realized love is something we can't acquire, You also can't expect to find it in a proven liar, It can't be found in someone full of worldly desire. I can't find someone who makes my heart whisper, Someone who makes life seem like a fun adventure, Someone who finds beauty in the endless azure, Someone who laughs with me as I turn balder. Life is all about small moments is what I've heard, It ain't a broth that needs to be carefully stirred, It is about embracing that which is unheard, Finding some lessons which can be transferred.
