Leap "A Good step "..Goodness will follow.....

                                                         Steps of gratitude....

 

I vividly remember celebrating" Gratitude day" in my school.Although i don't remember the day and month attributed to it but today even after seven years when i think of it,a stream of memory rushes down the lane taking me back to the day.It was a platform of joy for all the students with no class for the day,casual outfit ,a royal feast,songs and skit,music and games,exchanging thankfulness with smiles and laughter around.Little knowing the deeper & hidden meaning behind, our lips uttered an abrupt thanks to every person we knocked on!Yeah,that was about being Grateful.Like many other students,i was oblivious to what i was getting from this simple gesture.But as i grew older ,i realized,that abrupt thanks i once uttered, mattered much more than what i thought.

There are so many feelings which remain caged in ourselves no matter if it is Love,Hate Jealousy or simply"Being Thankful",Isn't it? .Somewhere in the walk of Life we leave them far behind &There are many instances where we go tongue stuck,wanting to or not wanting to express them.But there is nothing more personifying than giving our "Caged feelings,Wings of expression" .What my school taught me once seemed too easy to me,but later i realized it wasn't the same.The abrupt thanks uttered when someone does good to you has a deeper cord of attachment to a sense of Gratitude.A feeling Novel to those who embrace it.It is not about leaving it behind but carrying it throughout.

May be a simple advise to a serious suggestion, a helping hand from a person unexpected ,to, a smile of assurance from a loved one and there are many more gestures unpicked which we often fail to make it a point and express our deep gratitude for the meaning it holds in our life.Is it we are too busy to run ahead of each other,Leaving behind the differences that seem trivial but if pondered really matter.

In a day we meet so many different kinds of people ,some dear ones,some strangers.There is a string of incidence attached to each one but a cord of attachment develops when a sense of gratitude leaps in.You may not be in contact for the rest of Life but surely you will be remembered for something kind!One thing i realized is, being grateful is not only about saying Thanks(its only an expression) but rather remembering the reason behind.This Humble Gesture precipitates a kind Action for which you will be remembered,and the kindness of the opposite person will be reinforced by your Gratefulness.
 And then when you will walk ahead,you will carve a step of gratitude for someone behind to follow and idealize ,who will in turn carve another step for someone behind and the chain will continue....

P.S :There are many instances where we are unable to Thank the person who leaves an unforgettable impact on us by his gesture.Reaching to him (if possible) and expressing the same is more satisfying than it can be explained.

A Tale of Heart

       A Tale of Heart!

I am that Darkest Chamber of your Life,

Where thousands of emotions reside.

Like a shrub lost in bushes,

I drown in your ocean of wishes!

I speak more than you hear, 

Yet i am the one unheard!

 In your toughest time,

I escort you with a smile.

In your tears I shed Mine,
With you beats my Life!

Yet you haven't noticed,

How you plunder upon me!

When ego commits a mistake?

My Life is kept at stake!

Do you know whenever you frail...

Its me who is Raged!

If happy you keep me embraced,

If sadness comes in ..
I am left with Disgrace!

Tell me the Myth hidden Behind.

Of Why i suffer every time??? ...

Are you Modern ? Modern v/s conservative

If you value your traditions and culture, you're branded conservative. While modernity is judged by clothes rather than thoughts. What's you take on this topic? #ModernTradition

 

 

Most of the Educated Individuals must have sometime or the other uttered this proverb" A Book is not judged by its Cover" Now, i don't know how deep is their understanding for the same!

To begin, Let me tell you my casual outfit is jeans but i also wear a neatly tucked scarf covering the strands of my hair.Now what will you call me"Modern because i wear a jeans or conservative for my veil!

In our Mediocre culture,this is a serious issue.Everything is weighed in terms of looks or outward appearance.Why?Why is it that we blindly accept the seen not wanting to know the unseen.

If the words Modern and Conservatism is taken in parallel with clothes and culture then i think we are violating the grass root definition of these words.Here i don't want to go in depth explaining the meaning and the difference of the two.We are well aware of them.

All that Glitters is not Gold.So,its better we put in extra effort before blindly coming to a conclusion.

 What is it about being Modern or Traditional?

Being Modern is not about a low waist jeans and combo of hookah and cocktail in hand, just to flow with the trend, and regressing to a limited reasoning and not being in a position to offer any sensible opinion when matter of change rises ,neither being traditional is about sitting by the feet of(few) hypocrite Pundits and Mullahs who not only limit their sensuality and growth of thoughts but also of others who blindly follow them without giving them a thought.

For those,mere outfit equates to being advanced/conservative,i can surely say there is no one more regressed than you!

 So,Who has a Liberal thought?

*Following ones culture and value doesn't bring you down to being conventional rather it helps you to climb the next rung of the ladder.I am a staunch believer of rationalizing things.Whenever i am told you are suppose to/not suppose to do this.My first question is why?Each and Every custom or tradition i follow is first analyzed.I yearn for a logical answer and i am successful in getting one

*If you can reason out successfully and your thoughts are not tied by the shackles of stereotypical s ,then i am sure you are moving at a right pace.Here, if you stick to your culture and traditions it  gives you a base to further understanding of right and wrong.

*"Seek and you shall find"Dig in to your values and culture to find appropriate answers,it will not only strengthen your thoughts but also liberate them to be more mature and sensible.

We humans are deep thinkers.There is a long run thought dynamics.We keep on seeking for the change.If we look at the advancements around us,they don't come up magically.Each of them have their roots in past.Be it cable wires being modified in to today's comfort" wireless".Or,the Laptop evolving from the big screen cabinets called computers.Nokia 1110 was a brand of modernity once but today it is mere Dabba phone.Now the concept of advancement will keep changing but the root of it will lie in the invention of Graham bell.

If you study today's research and lift our history, you will not be amazed to know its the same culture/tradition put in a different way,that is a brand of advancement.

Life keeps moving and so will the trend.If i am following my traditional and moral values,then who are you to judge my outlook (rather lame term mentality). By questioning me on being conservative you are just proving how conservative you are.Because conservative is a person who lacks ability of acceptance.

Respecting each others differences and walking in hand to bring a sensible & a logically analyzed change is first step to being modern.

My Analgesic of LIFE!!

My Analgesic of Life

Bereft by the world,

When confronting lonely battle,

Muddled by my state,

In the midst of contempt,

My Heart snivels completely,

Unheard to any…

My pain when baffles around,

Radiating the pent up emotions!

I then escort myself,

                                       To another world,

Where shrines of idylls are formed.

The echo of my woe,

When rushes through my soul,

I capitulate them in my thoughts,

To channelize them in my words,

And engrave it on to the paper.

With it, i ventilate my pent up emotions!

My unspoken words never go unheard,

Because they are owner of  every verse!

My poems comfort me in every state,

Be it a moment of  bliss or a cry of fate!

They are those Analgesics of my Life,

Which save my Heart from inner strife..
