Winds of change

Winds of change.

Independence Day: Centre urges states to discourage use of plastic ...

The wind blows ‘cross the mighty motherland,

Made of hills, plains and sands.

Traversed by the raging rivers,

A land full of givers.

 

Givers of knowledge so vast,

Harboring ships with their masts,

Bearing any flags,

Not knowing that they would turn ‘her’ riches to rags.

 

To shed the rags of bondage,

Her children gave us the adage,

“Fight for swaraj, our birthright”,

And “No one can challenge satyagraha’s might.”

 

The times have been changing,

But the winds have stopped blowing,

Telling us that we have indeed progressed,

But we also have transgressed.

 

Transgressed to such an extent,

That we are now indifferent,

To those who betray our “mother”,

By saying, “Oh! It affects some other.”

 

We forget that we might be that some other person,

And while the corrupt hold our “mother” for arson,

And the debauchers roam around in glee,

Our mother will never be free.

 

The winds of change shall blow once more,

This time we shall eradicate the gore,

With the ancient ethereal wisdom,

Giving ‘her’ true freedom.

Breathe

  I breathe now, To live and laugh tomorrow, To fulfil hopes and goals, of several loved souls. Each breath makes me wonder, How do they stay asunder? From loved souls who have them in a hold, Just to get someone a breath so bold. Their breaths are muffled, As they keep up their hustle, Not stopping to breathe, Eternally resting with just a condolence wreath?  

Chaos

Chaos is the only constant in any person’s life. Each person whom you might cross paths with has some or the other mess going on for them. Some, get worried about the messy bedroom that they would be going home to after rushing out of the house like a bullet train, some agonize about the chaos that might ensue in workplaces if they do not reach on time while some are pretty occupied with the chaos in their relationships with people or some are just plain worried about how they would garner the motivation to clean their desk. We all wish that our lives would go as we plan. Be it planning out the day and hoping that you wouldn’t run late to your morning lectures, or to wishing that you could not get stained by your morning dose of caffeine as you try to multitask effortlessly. But it hardly happens that way. We are surrounded by randomness not only in the material world but also in the emotional world. Many of us would agree that the randomness by which we make connections with peo...

LIVING HELL

LIVING HELL   The state of my life right now, having all the time in the world to relax, is the exact representation of ‘living hell’, the way a nice buttered up croissant is ‘living hell’ for a hypertensive patient, but extremely attractive to a normal person. “Oh! The grass is always greener on the other side.”, is one of the constant lines by almost all motivational speakers and every random person under the sun who claims to understand us. Utter nonsense. My mind when in a conundrum                 To understand my conundrum, let us delve deeper into ‘heaven, hell and living’ .  The topography of hell                                                        Hell, Pluto, many are its names but the meaning is the same. When we imagine the darker side, all of us have similar visions, yet diffe...
