Shooting Star And Her

I'm not a night person normally,
Her presence created an anomaly,
I now stay up all night cheerfully,
As she lies there in my lap lazily,

Her eyes glimmering delightfully,
As she looks up at me gleefully,
She turns and points to the sky merrily,
As a shooting star appears momentarily,

Her hands join in prayer for us hopefully,
A tear in my eyes and I cry heartily,
She looks at me and wipes the tears hastily,
That's when I realized she loved me unconditionally.

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 ...

LEADERS

Leading yourself towards your goal is easy, Leading two or more people not so, You need to become an ideal person to lead others, People like to work with those who lead from the front, Not those who throw their weight around and are lazy, These kind of people can never become leaders, Be good, honest, humble and caring to those work under you, Never back out from helping those who face difficulties,  Help, support and an amicable relationship creates leaders, An aggressive demeanour can destroy and eliminate leaders, A new approach to superior-subordinate relationship, Open minded and easy demeanour to suggestions, Leaders are those who never back down facing a challenge,  But, continue fighting till they win, They prevail over extremely challenging conditions, They light up an inspiring story in a dark world, They give hope to millions by urging them to dream, Yet they are always down to earth, Never boasting of themselves, Instead saying...

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.

THE CHALLENGE OF THE ENVIRONMENT PART 3

Another challenge for the environment is the continued disappearance of forests in Asia, Africa and South America and the continent of Australia. These forests are considered biodiversity hotspots due to the abundance of different animals and plants. These forests also house animals that are not found anywhere else in the world, for example, Lemurs of Madagascar are an ancient group of species of monkeys which aren't found anywhere else in the whole world.  Orangutans are not found anywhere else except some islands in Borneo and Sumatra, known for its distinctly orange coat, they are exceptional climbers and spend years lazily exploring trees for fruits high up from the forest floors. The Sumatran tiger is the smallest subspecies of the Tiger and is limited to the heavily forested Indonesian island of Sumatra. The forests of Northeastern Australia house some extraordinary endemic wildlife as the isolation of the continent helped these animals evolve without any predato...

India's Dream Part 2

After the horrific Partition, India had some good leaders but these leaders followed Socialism which was restrictive to foreign investment and made our economh almost redudant. This one directional process of thinking lead to public unrest for two decades. From 1984 to 1996, there were six different governments and also saw assasinations of two Prime Ministers. Somehow in 1991, reforms were done and as many as 24 businesses were de regulated and thus, we somehow became the 2nd fastest growing economy and kept that tag from 2004 - 2009 through a period where China and USA were slackening as recession hit global markets. But after recovering from this rut, a slew of scams brought on the brakes for 2 years and inefficient management of the economy made India really suffer. Hence, India has the third largest army, but also the third largest population of poor in the world. We have at least 20% unemployment and only 20% of our youth complete graduation. We are investing 4% of our To...

My Disease

My life was turned upside down when I was 4 and half years as I discovered after a blood test that I won't be able to walk slowly as years went by. My Parents decided to give me all the happiness in the world so that I won't feel let down. I loved to travel and they decided to show me every place on Earth where I could go. I have visited most corners of my Beautiful Country India. I have also been to Europe, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa even before I had completed grade 10

The Unforeseen

The waves crash against the rocky shore, Creating the sound of gunshots fired, Reminding me of the night my parents died, Shot in the skirmish between the army and rebels, I knew not who was to blamed for my loss, Shattering my home in an unforeseen manner, I grew up in the shadow of my elder brother, We were the only support for each other, As I grew up in his all encompassing affection, I lost animosity towards the cause of my parent's death, I felt detached from the reason of the war, What use is it fighting for the land under your feet? Isn't it the very same all across the Earth ?  Then, pray, what use is there, fighting for it ?

Brother's Love

Waking up every morning, There is a sight to behold, Seeing my tiny twin brothers rubbing eyes,  In an effort to rub away the night's sleep, Who does not want someone younger to lead? Who does not want to see the laughter of a child? Luckier is the person who has two kid brothers, To play with, to teach them the right way of life, The world turns into a beautiful dream, When two kids take up the job of spreading joy,  With broad smiles and comical acts,  Exploring the world with tiny eyes, Marvelling at moving objects, Staring at still things, Though they are themselves in motion, Restless, careless, yet full of happiness, Showing the world how important, Every moment thoroughly enjoyed is to happy life, Though a tiny child may seem oblivious to emotion, They are good at finding, The difference between happiness and sadness,  Which eats people inside out like a termite, Needs to be eliminated...
