Life is a journey not a destination.
Get on a ride and experience all the emotions.
Happiness, joy, anger, fear, sadness.
Encounter each, one by one.
Some will make you, some will change you
But don’t let it break you.
Whenever any of these knock you down
Just bring the smile of courage and say,
“Its OK, you are just a part of my journey
Not my life.”

Acceptance would have been lot more easy if things would have changed
From
KYA LADKI KI TARAH RO RAHA HAI.
(stop crying like a girl.)
To
RONA IS A HUMAN THING NOT A GENDER BASED CHOICE.
From
YE TU KYA KAR RAHI HAI.
YE TERA KAAM NAHI HAI.
TU NAHI KAR PAYEGI.
(hey! what is she doing? this is not her job. she won’t be able to do it?)
To
TU KOSHISH TO KAR. MUJHE PATA HAI TU KAR PAYEGI.
(let her try, I have a faith in her she can do it.)
THAT TIME OF THE DAY
When the sun is slowly showing up over the horizon
and paint the world with its honey filled light-
The light that glitters like gold
and warmth as the mother’s hold.
IS WHAT I LIKE.
Coz the honey filled light
when kisses the skin
give a radiant gleam.
It is this radiance I cherish,
as no other cosmetic can give this.
Between Fear and Courage,
I met anxiety and calmness.
I chose calmness over anxiety,
Coz that’s the lesson muddy water taught me.
Trembling muddy water will never be purified,
only the steady one can show up clean and sparkling bright.
Between Fear and Courage.
I met pain and faith.
I chose faith over pain,
Coz that’s the lesson prayers have taught me.
Every prayer is an affirmation to face any shortcomings,
and every affirmation is an act of moving towards faith without any worries.
Between Fear and Courage,
I met doubts and confidence.
I chose confidence over doubts,
Coz that’s the lesson law of nature taught me.
The law of nature says, ” you are what you see and believe in.”
So, between Fear and Courage,
There will always be two paths,
One will lead to self-discovery and other to self-destruction.
It’s on us to choose wisely.
If caught in a dilemma and not in a state to decide,
just push yourself a little,
and remember the never give up stories of eminent personalities.
Thomas Edison(999times failure during the invention of the bulb.)
Mr. Bachchan (rejected by All India Radio) .
Countless examples are there to find,
just go back in the history and be wise while you decide.
A Journey named relationship,
Sees many moments of highs and lows.
A Journey which is not so perfect,
It never suppose to be.
Slowly and gradually unveiling each other strength and weaknesses,
and realizing this is how it suppose to be.
A Journey,
from disagreeing with each other to forgiving each other.
From misunderstanding to giving each other time to understand.
From yelling at each other to apologizing for making it go smooth further.
From cribbing over small issues to realizing how lucky to have each other as JEEVAN SAATHI.
I must say, no one can pull it through,
Better than who knows true love value.
Someone : What is helplessness?
Me : Rummaging through the bin in search of food then sniffing to check it’s stale or not.
“Food is a necessity not a privilege.”
Life journey of Alisha choudhary gave me thought,
What if all beings come with their expiry card?
I know it’s so evil of me to say this,
But I have a reason for this remark so devilish.
Here, in this moment of carefree spree,
We have the tendency to procrastinate our dreams and enjoy being nosy.
What if the above notion would have been true.
Imagine the amount of chaos will brew.
Luckily it’s a mere notion not a reality,
The case was not the same for the fighter soul, Ms Alisha Choudhary.
Pain of knowing one’s expiry date is gruesome.
No doubt, she might have experienced the same on hearing about Pulmonary Fibrosis.
A girl fifteen years of age,
How did she manage to cope up with situation such strange?
For that matter, if there would have been anyone else of her age,
Might have gone maniac with rage.
This might sound exaggerated to many.
The only thing that can prove my point is her work “LITTLE EPIPHANIES’’
The whole point in bringing this up over here,
Just to review the concept of death which is seen as a reality so severe.
The real culprit in robbing someone’s life is not the death,
It’s the agony,fear,anxiety that forces the being to depart.
The lesson is so simple yet profound.
All thanks to Ms, Alisha who taught me, “ Give a damn to pessimists in you that let you down.”
Being shackled up for a long time,
She let herself immersed in her enchanted wild.
Sitting by the calm river,cherishing the azure night.
A whole new world beholds her sight.
Millions of shining stars made her look divine like.
Dewy green grasses happily welcome her with smile,
When she leaned on her back and let herself kissed by the moisten bed spread wide.
Being satiated,she desired nothing more,
As it’s just her and nature making love and no one to oppose.
Now that you are in my hold,
doesn’t mean I am an owner and you are a thing to be owned.
Together we will sail in this journey of life.
Will survive all ups and downs by being each other side.
Darkness hover over the sky,
Hello Mr. Fear,
You being an abstract feeling of sort,
Can shake the person to the core of the thought.
I have seen your every shade in the past.
You have the power that long for last.
Yes, I admit,
I once got caught into your hold,
anxiety, panic, doubts,bouts of hallucinations.(Your highly anticipated offspring)
have stopped me time,and again to get back to my real self bold.
You almost tear me apart,
robbed my peace of mind and spirit to live my life like bindaas.
Wait! Don’t get too high,listening to your plus.
I, too am the adamant soul,that never learn to give up.
Looking for the ways to deal with you.
I heard the celestial voice guiding me through.
“No matter how strong the hold be,
You still have the power,to ground thy enemy” (said the voice.)
So Mr. Fear,
I just wanna say, thank you for the intrusion in my life.
Allowing me to meet the new version of mine.
I agree with the fact that you being the feeling,
will always be the part of my life,
But let me tell you,
Mr. Fear,
You are not gonna win over me this time.
No grudges or complains against you,
Just heartfelt gratitude.
For the chance to discover,the new ability to deal with you.
Thanking you once again,
For opening my eyes.
‘Be your own savior’-
The precious mantra, I have realized
zed.
Liberty shows support to help each other grow.
Optimism is the key for most of the difficulties.
Vibrancy is that charm,needed to keep up the spark.
Endurance determines,how long the tie will survive.
Someone: So you have learned martial arts to attack someone.
Me : No, I have learned to defend myself.
Someone : What difference does it make?
Me : There’s a huge difference. I use my martial arts skills to save myself not to hurt someone else.
