If life gives me another chance..

If life gives me another chance, I would undo all the wrongs I have caused,
If life gives me another chance, I would cure all the doubts...
If life gives me another chance I would make you believe how much I care!
If life gives me another chance,I would shed away all my fears.
If life gives me another chance, I won't step back in confessing my love ..
If life gives me another chance, I shall refrain myself from being hurt,
I shall refrain from hurting those who love me,
If life gives me another chance, I won't shed a tear and live life happily !
I shall embrace life with open arms,
I shall never say ,"I can't"
 Only if.... Life gives me another chance !

Silence and Solitude

 

Saying nothing... sometimes says the most...Emily Dickinson

The other day I happened to chance upon this beautiful quote by Emily Dickinson... Silence & solitude has always fascinated me and hence those words by Dickinson has struck a chord with me somewhere and compelled me to ponder over the words again.

Indeed, silence is the divine way of communicating without the use of  words. Silence speaks volumes and can be freaking loud sometimes and I believe it is the best ammunition for any human being to convey his/ her thoughts which his/ her words are not able to convey.No other sound can replicate the power of silence.Silence is more musical than any song and Silence can be best experienced in Solitude.

Solitude has inspired poets to write poems, painters to paint and saints to meditate to reach the transcendental platform. Albert Einstein had once said,"I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind." 

Solitude reminds me of my visit to Jaisalmer in March this year. For those who want a break from the hubbub of complex city life and  prefer extreme solitude, Jaisalmer is the best place to be in. The blend of Emptiness,  Silence, Solitude and Sand dunes at Jaisalmer gave me an amazing divine feeling. It took me  to a world of my own.The silence and solitude of  Jaisalmer gave me the time to think, ponder, reflect and introspect.It made me realise who I am , How am I utilizing my life ? Where am i heading in life's journey ? What is the purpose of my life? What would make me happy and What makes me upset . Indeed, the memory of the solitude I experienced there was no less than a blessing which I shall treasure forever. 

Love with Solitude or Silence doesn't imply that one hates socializing. Often, the desire to be alone comes from being surrounded by people who don't understand you or are close minded, or frustrating. Often. it is the urge of self-realization that compels one for  retreat in solitude that allows one to have a glimpse of the inner world within our soul.

It's true that we cannnot spend our entire life in solitude. We are social animals and need to be surrounded by our friends,kith and kin. But at certain circumstances when life throws us in situations beyond our control, it becomes necessary to take the shelter of solitude to nurture inner peace and thereby finding a solution to all the problems and questions that life throws on us. Solitude is the repose of the mind and soul, a motivation to enjoy life by looking at the optimistic sphere of our life in a serene manner !

Adieu 2010

Another year is on the verge of ending...

Lots I have lost; lots I have achieved.

Have been enlightened by friends

and as always, foes have deceived. 

There are people I have befriended,

There are people I have shunned.

There were few moments of tears,

And some everlasting moments of fun.

But still there are few things

for which I am still longing.

Hope the coming year would be full of miracles...

Looking forward to a year filled with laughter & love,

Free from unwanted worries, cares and troubles.

A life full of drama !

I am amazed to see that when things seem to be going good, life takes an unexpected twist to make everything topsy-turvy sometimes shattering all our hopes, desires and expectations hence turning our world upside -down.


And we, the mortals have no other choice than consoling ourselves by accepting those twists and turns as our destiny ! 

Light at the end of the tunnel

Jaded by darkness all round,


Today I can see a gleaming light of hope...not far away....


It's the divine light I have been waiting for throughout my life,


Must reach there without any delay...

Words from a Dreamer

I survive in my own world of beautiful imaginations,

The ugly real world doesn't fascinate me...

Yes, i am a dreamer ,

My dreams are enough to make me happy...

There's no gleam of hope in the world outside,

In my canopy of dreams,let me reside !

Am i dreaming?

                                                                   




Unuttered & and wordless thoughts of the heart...

are taking shape,

In the form of sweet gestures,

and crystallizing in the form of pictures...

is it a dream?

if yes, please let me sleep...
Don't wake me up from this slumber !

The Best feeling for me....

The best feeling for me is...

To feel your feelings,

To convert those feelings to words,

Transform the words into a meaningful poem

And to fashion the poem into a beautiful song,

To sing it to your heart,

To sing it to the world !

When darkness falls in life...

When darkness falls in life,

You get no one to stand by your side !

Even your shadow ditches you,

'cos, to subsist even your shadow needs light .

In Love with Solitude

Walking down the road all by myself...

accompanied by the stark beauty of silence...

With no single soul to perturb...

With no shadow to startle...

It's just me and my drifting thoughts....

I am in love with my Solitude...
