Read and re read your own words...

Writing is a bliss ,its an escape,just like a musicians fingers lucidly move on the string to bring a melody,i think a writers thoughts also liberate on to the paper/keyboard,knowing no boundaries, blushing innocently holding each other to form a piece that stands very dear to the creator of it.
What is more beautiful than writing? for a poet/author ,i am very sure is ,stands his work closest.Reading ones words is a feeling beyond explanation.

Today i am on my blog after months of break.May be i was preoccupied with too many things,juggling through a turmoil of events.Although i could not write much ,but i rescued my thoughts by reading my own work.
Very often,i scroll through my write ups,stare at them,fall in love with each of the words and smile at it with the love that only a mother holds after caressing her little one.This may sound crazy and narcisstic, i dont know how many people share this feeling but it exist and i am sure it is normal.There is no pride but an affection,because when you write,your words are a part of you.
You need not excel in the creative arts,writing i personally believe should never be meant to compete with any one else rather compete with your own skills and improve it.Fabricated work is superficial ,what comes naturally is dearest.Feel it by your self,each of you can string your thoughts and mold it to form a beautiful palace,a collection of your thoughts.

So,as i was saying,with no pride i read my poems,smile crazily and wonder,has it come from me? When someone questions me 'which is your favorite one?'I am perplexed and it becomes a decision of life which i am never successful at,i cant differentiate among my kids.They all have a special remembrance and memory in my life. My each write up is dear to me,when i am lowest,i read my work than rescuing to another set of inspirational talks.My inspiration comes from my poems and articles as they are a reflection of my upbringing,my belief and everything i come in contact with everyday.Its mirror of what i am and will be learning.
So don't give a thought the next moment you low or full of optimism,just pick up a pen and scribble on your paper,let your thoughts breathe the freshness of your words.A while later ,read them all and tell me what you felt....

Reality strikes..?

A Great Man Dr. A P J Kalam states"Dreams is not what you see while asleep,Dream is that doesn't let you go to sleep !
A wise thought, definitely, the process of conquering your aspirations is not a journey of smooth ride.
How many of you have introspected yourself to know a little better than others ,than the ones who influence you in a miraculous way.
Are you a dreamer? If Yes,Are you lost in your merry world,building the bricks of gold,laying the foundation of your choice and running the town in unison with your comfort. If So,you need to get up and brush your thoughts and prepare your mind to welcome the dawn before it hits you with the sharp rays on your face.
Reality is far beyond our thoughts,The era of 21st century is rising with the falls in our quality of life.We are running to chase an end that is uncertain,making our lives complex bunch of an entangled set of wires that gets difficult to sort with each attempt.
What complicates our life? A brick of gold? or the foundation of our choice?And when we cant run the town in unison with our comfort...What happens, we loose ourselves!Fade our life in the world that will never exist and then find an alternate way of exit...That's not your dream.
I have seen people put in efforts,I have seen people fall to get up,rise and fall again just to rise once more,
I know of the castles formed of sweat,countless efforts and sleepless night
I have seen the face of success smiling amidst lost battles ...I have seen dream in all of their eyes..I have seen them grow and rise!
So,What do they all say, they all have different words but one thought- "Your dream lies in your insight,in your knowledge of self"!
Know your self,Know your potential, You have much more than you know. Explore and discover your skills,Lay your foundation on it.Pick up the hardest brick and place it atop,Walk a mile to get it ,let not your comfort run the town but your instinct,your hard work and above all your patience.Embrace and respect failure,as its an opportunity to refine your skill.

Move,Trot,Crawl just keep heading,do not stop ,if need arises change your direction but never take a U turn.
Don't leave any stone un-turned you never know which one has a pearl hidden.


Gaze beyond your closed eyes and write each moment in your heart ,Success is not measured in wealth and name,it is not carved by merely reaching a cliff but conquering the base.
Success is giving justice to your self and your life.
Live each moment,Smile a wide,Stay Happy and Keep Moving.
Life is beautiful!

O Genie!...Grant Me ?

If We all had a Genie.....

Life is about finding your own path to unleash the hidden wishes and conquer the same.In this race of immediate and delayed gratification,we tend to loose on our real selves.We tend to drift in to our dream land where we carve our life as a golden triumph.But when reality strikes us back we know its not bed of roses.So,moving towards a more hypothetical situation,What if we had an "Alladin lamp" that presented a blue bubbled smiling figure,more popularly known as Genie saying:Kya hukm hai mere aaka"
Vohhh..So what if we had our own genie, to grant our wish, what would it be.
The rat race in climbing the next rung of  ladder would be a pleasant ride and life a beautiful garden! And what about us,a piece of potato lying amidst a garden!What if after certain period of time we get boiled through all the comfort and luxuries, eventually one day mashed to no existence!
Life makes you as weak as a boiled potato that looses its consistency once taken away from the test it puts  you in.Too much comfort would melt you like wax but a hard blow makes you grow stronger with each hit until you stand firm as mountain in the storm.
So rather than cribbing of all the downfalls one should learn to rise,live each moment to create a history,a memory,a lesson.
Rise,fall,Rise again and Move-This is all life is about.And how you live this cycle defines the quality of it.
I would quench my thirst by reaching to water than getting it served in with aa platter!

Move....

The mystery of life deciphers it's code,
When you look beyond the Mirage it holds.


The strength in her looked elsewhere,
Waiting to live, out of herself.
She moved with pride to follow her shadow,
Because life is a reflection of one's gallows!

Sight of Shore

P.C:Google Images

Standing by the shore when i look afar,
My gaze strings with the rhythm of war,
Stuck by the joy and sorrow of time,
It grows fonder like an old wine!
Mistful,haughty,roaring waves,
Rise from beneath to find a way!
Swiftly moving with the breeze,
Dancing to the reverence of peace.
They know the secret in them,they hold,
Whispering it around,quietly they unfold,
The Mystery of ocean blue and its bed,
With blanket green laid on white carpet,
They narrate the seen and the unseen,
To feel by self what lies in green!
With the gurgling waves i travel beneath,
Calm and serene i find the stream!
Soon,A tide rises and gallops down,
Finds a way without a frown,
It tells me,There is a chaos within,
But the sight of shore makes me win!

-SSW

Looking Beyond

I can hear the birds singing the song of joy,
When i am looking beyond the time of rise!
I can feel the fragrance of the blooming flowers,
When i am looking beyond the dew on them!
I can touch the breeze caressing through my cheeks,
When i am looking beyond the wind beneath!
I can smell the freshness,calm and serene,
When i am looking beyond the ocean green!
I can taste the victory that waves bring,
When i am looking beyond their way towards me!

The Journey of Affirmation!

A week ago as i was discussing with palak about life,through my stressed face she sensed something and abruptly bounced on me an affirmation.She said look in to the mirror and tell yourself "I am at peace like never before" !I laughed hard and reverted"I wont do that,rather i cant!And the topic evaporated in all the laughs!

A day later she seemed to be a little low that made me pen down a few words for her
T for Tension,
T for Temporary,
T for tough,
T for Tight Hug
Tension is temporary makes life tough!
A tight hug is the solution to all.And I am glad i have people who hold me tight to tell me I am there.
-Affirmation 1

This ignited a sharp thought of writing affirmations each night.I sent it to my close one who enjoyed reading it and replied with fervor. That instilled in me a journey to pen down affirmations and send across to my close ones.
I am glad the way it is appreciated.Indeed mind is the biggest tool to regulate life.

So every seven days i will be updating a weekly affirmation,until the compilation marks a century!

I hope my journey of affirmation goes long way and is of help to others because to me indeed it has given  a purpose!

Weekly Affirmation:

Affirmation 2:
When I sleep at night to close my eyes to the sky of life,there is a shimmering star of peace gazing back at me whispering in my ears"I am far but you can see me"


Affirmation 3:
Like a rock in the sea I hold the strength that no one can see.When waves come together they fall weak in front of me because i can stand alone to show them what is strength within!\

Affirmation 4:
I look at the mirror to smile to self to tell the inner me its all fine.Like the birds heading back to nest,leaving the worries back in the sky.I can take my soul to the happiest den leaving behind all my pain.

Affirmation 5:
The tall green ocean around the sea reflects its presence and lives free.It falls in the autumn to rise again in spring and dances with the breeze and freezes to weep.It stands firm to embrace the rays,to carve another beautiful way.Like it knows nothing of the future i too hold no insight of it either.But i shall live and rejoice on freshness of today because i know if its autumn now tommorrow is springs day.

Affirmation 6:
Open an old book on a library's shelf ,in the heart of a reader which dwells.The radiance of its fragrance disperses in space like a pleasant scent in a quiet place.It narrates the journey of a dream to growin the life of many being.The narrow wrinkles on its face tells me i can grow each day.I can chase my dreams and make a way,because if a book can turn its pages gold and shine young to make it glow,I can liberate my dreams and feel its fragrance ,to live with it and make it happen!
My book of life will glow and shine,soon each day to be better in time!

Affirmation 7:
I live in the present and enjoy the little joys of life because they are the soap bubbles set free to grow to a height.The bee tells me when she hums around a nectar,she only rejoices on the sweetness around her.When ants carve a path together,they only know to hold each other,When eagles fly high in the air,with the breeze all the joys they share!Be it an eagle ,bee or an ant,they tell me its present moment,filled with sweetness ,carved with joy,to hold each other and live with joy!
