The Strings of Life!!

I have often observed the guitar, with some few strings which play the most harmonious tunes in the world. This is about a short anecdote.

One day long back,
Listening to my favourite track,
I thought I would play,
With my Guitar that lay,
With all its rhythms fine,
And a beautiful evening time,

I touched the strings in leisure,
And with my aims of pleasure,
I moved the one, the melodious most,
The one which was my favourite most,

Again and again I moved it tight,
Playing my tunes day and night,
Because I knew it won’t break ever,
That was my faith, undying forever,

One day I found, my Musics disperse,
Something wrong with my favourite verse,
I checked, I looked and I found,
My favourite string was loosened around

I had tears in my eyes,
For my thoughts unwise,
But my little string seemed to say,
I am okay, just tired on my way,

I tightened it up, and the songs came back,
As if it had forgotten all my attack,

But my guitar and its strings, taught me something,
About it and the circumference of life’s ring,
God plays rhythms and his strings we all belong,
And he plays only those with melodies strong,

So if you feel pained in life,
Facing an excessive strife,
It’s because you are the one so close,
The rhythm of God’s favourite prose,

And he can see, hear and think
And with his strings, has a strong link,
He loves you more than you ever thought,
And has more love than you have got,
So, never give up and hold on

Because every dusk has a dawn...

Thanks to the Wrong Ones!!

This one's for the people who have frustrated me enough!! And here's expressing my "THANKS"!!

Sometimes I think, what will be the best place to be? And my heart says- “It’s heaven”. And for me, Heaven always was like Kashmir may be, or Darjeeling or may be the ridges in Switzerland. Yeah, that should be heaven, beautiful ponds, lovely trees, mountains, chirping birds, cute deer, and me- in a hut by the river side!! Whoa!!

But my heart says something else- There’s something inside me which says- it’s not about the place, it’s not about the weather, it’s all inside. The truth in your heart, the faith in yourself, the gratitude for others, the humbleness you hold, the veil of limits, the will to go against all odds and be just yourself, that’s heaven!!

There’s some thing inside me that says- It’s not about the money, it’s not about the luxury, it’s a state where you find the will to survive in a pond full of dirt ,& be the lotus; where you decide not to bow down, but to let others know- that there are some people who are more adamant than anyone else; where you aim not to impress people, just yourself and everything else just doesn’t matter; where your eyes can see everything is wrong, your ears can hear everything is noisy, and you can sense how much corrupt and interfering the system is, still you smile and say: “Whoa ! It’s a mess!! But I am going to take care of that, because it’s mine and I don’t like the dirt at all!!:) ”

Sometimes I think, how beautiful the world will be if everyone were nice, good and sophisticated. But there’s some voice from inside which says- “You are wrong. You would not be able to survive if everyone were good, because then the rate of doing Karma might come down!!” May be it’s always so lovely and so satiating to be a part of the world where 95% people are corrupt because they can’t control their senses, and you enjoy the pleasure and proud of being those 5% who could keep themselves intact, even in the mud of bad things. I think there’s nothing more wonderful than that!! It makes me feel good, it makes me feel intact, and it makes me feel I am worth something.

So this one’s for the bad ones, the wrong ones in my life!! Thanks, for being in my world. Had you not been there, I would have never realized, how special it’s to be truthful!! Thanks, for making me proud of myself. I have no aims to change you, just be the way you are!! And I will be the way I am, and I know I am going to better off always. Thanks for making me special in my own eyes. I love you.

Papa...

He taught me to laugh, He taught me to talk,

He taught me the skill of how to walk,

He smiled at me always, forever,

He loved me infinite, without scolding me ever,

21 years passed and I thought , may be now he will ask back something,

But that thought and its hope, happened never!!

Money , Icecreams, chocolates and toffees,

Ipods, Mobiles, laptops and coffees,

I kept asking, and he kept giving,

He kept working and I kept living,

21 years passed and I thought, may be now he will stop doing this all,

But I was surprised to know that I was still his little doll!!

Papa , I don’t know what to say, and neither do I know how to thank you, but for all that you do for me, unsaid, unheard, without returns, I am proud to be your daughter .

Love you always....

A Prayer!!

God, this one's for you!! You are dear, you are near, you are everything. You are my God, you are my Lord, you are my life's chord. I know you keep seeing me all time, smile when I am happy, and weep when I am sad. I know you are the person who does everything for my sake.
Your eyes, your senses, your feelings, your every breath is for me. I know you love me a lot. May be that's why you care! Every time for me!
And today, one of your disciples, or one of your beloved , as you might call it, wants you to wipe tears from someone's eyes, the someone I have never seen, I have heard once, the someone who's not well, the someone is very special. You could consider it the important Request that I make only rarely. Please do this! And I know you will never disappoint me. Because you are GOD, Great, Omnipotent Dear God, from this moment onwards, you have the responsibility of worries of some dear people, and more infinitely my worries. From now on, My worries are yours, and you better solve them. And now that my worries are yours, I have a suggestion. Worrying is not good for your health, so please solve this worry, asap. Come on Lord, this is trivial for you, but for me, this is LIFE.

THAT"S WHY I REJECTED IISc...

From the time when I had started knowing Science & Technology, IISc, Bangalore was my temple, the ultimate Abode, the abode of God for me! I dreamt of it, because it was the best, it was incredible, it was untouched, the final destination for every quenched technologist.

IISc was always a dream because dreams are unachievable, they come true only in sleeps. And I, am one of those lucky persons whom God adores infinitely, unbound, no limits, may be that’s why he gave me this!!

And I rejected it! I rejected the most wanted, the most wanted of all my dreams ever, to be a part of the institution that forms the first page of my dream scrapbook. You can call me foolish, but I did that for a reason! Reasons actually, and the ‘s’ matters.

I just gave it a few minutes probably, few questions likely- Can I live away from my family, my dad won’t bring me ice-creams, neither is he going to be there to solve my problems with simple stories, nor will he be bringing me chocolates, and he won’t shout at me when I am wrong and then apologize even if the mistake is mine. Because the hostel room in IISc is going to be rough and walls don’t talk.

I just gave it a few thoughts I think, Can I live away from my mom- who’s going to cook me all those dishes, who’s going to listen to all talks infinitely big that I have talked about always, who will wipe away my tears, and watch 9:30 star plus soaps with me? Because the TV is not allowed in hostels, there’s just one big TV Room where my wishes don’t matter.

I just gave it a while, can I live away from my granny, who’s going to shout at me all the time, who’s going to find faults in everything I do? Because there I will be YASHNA SHARMA, 99.83%, and not the child I am...

And may be I am not in the mood to become a mature person right now! So I say, IISc – may be you are not for me, you looked good, but you are not! So, I say- I don’t like the course- Electronics Design and Engineering is not for me because there are reasons....!!
