Fear of unknown..!!

The lush green forest is a temptation
To explore the unknown
And yet we walk on the trail
Already hiked before

There is a feeling
A feeling of being lonely
A feeling of walking the path
And have some strange encounters

A feeling of being lost
A feeling of facing the danger
A feeling to just be warned
It is times like these
When one yearns for a company

A company
To keep your mind occupied
A company
To make you feel secured

In times like these
A company
Of even foes turn into friends
As together they take on the task
Of walking the mighty jungle

It is this trust
That brings together
Even a cat and a dog
As they know
Nothing could do more harm
Than the fear of unknown

Unicorn in life..!!


There is a dream
A dream to live
A dream to feel
A dream to believe
Dream where you see
Life with beauty
Life so carefree
Life with no pain

There is a dream
A dream to be happy
A dream to succeed
A dream to be alive

Dream where you know
Sadness has no place
Miracles do happen
Wishes always come true

There is always a dream
And a hope to make it a reality
Unicorn is one such legend
Indeed a dream to reckon

So mystical and yet so alive
So fierce and yet so divine
A beauty so captivating
So pure and gentle at heart

Life needs a unicorn
Life demands a unicorn
Life becomes complete
With unicorn being a reality

Dream Big..!!

You will always come across dreamers in life as you dream of not 'what you are' but 'what you can be'. There will always be people slogging themselves a little more for that better job, better salary, better status, better standard of living and that extra nudge is what differentiates them from the rest of us. For these set of people the outcome would always be positive and inspiring as they would have wanted it to be. While the rest of us would see them as being lucky, as always getting the right opportunities, as the person who wouldn't have to work so hard ever, as a child prodigy. But is that really so? No. God made us all equal and gave us all the opportunity to prove ourselves. It is upon us to identify our own capabilities to rise and shine. It is always said that your dream is one step forward to success. You have to dream big if you really want to be successful. Things never fall in place without having tried to make it happen.

Time is ever changing and never comes back. If you have to make the most of it then it is now. As much as I would like to believe in getting a second chance in life to rectify so many things, I am always let to believe that it doesn't happen that ways. There is only one life with opportunities galore. One makes mistakes and then gets the opportunity to learn from it. If you don't learn then you repeat your mistakes again. Life is all about learning and moving on and not about brooding and waiting for a second chance. Honestly, life is too short to wait for things to happen when you know, in your heart, that it is all about making things happen.

So, the way I see it 'the key ingredients for grasping a second chance in life' is nothing but an illusion. It is an excuse for us to hold on to something forever and hope everything would be fine. If only we learn to capitalise on the opportunities in life, only then we move one step forward towards glory. After all it is all about 'reaching for the sky'. The decision is solely ours to make it happen right now when we are alive or choose to reach there once we die. Well, I dream to make it happen now, what about you ?

For You, Dad..!!

I grew up holding your finger
I grew up sitting on your lap
I grew up playing frisbee with you
But still haven’t grown up enough to decide without you

You taught me to ride a bike
You taught me to be polite
You taught me to dream
You taught me to be myself

You didn’t hold me when I fell
Instead taught me how to rise
You didn’t scold me when I was wrong
Instead made me realize what I did

I may not always agree with what you say
I may not always like to be lectured
But I know what it means
To have you
To guide me
To believe in me
To take all my pranks in your stride

I don’t say I love you everyday
But in my heart it is always there
I don’t sit for long with you and talk
But in my heart I hear you always

It is your teachings, what I am today
Though I still have a long way to go
Before I become the one
You would be proud of

I have always known this
And often repeated it
"Dad, you are the best
And you have always left me inspired"

Now when Father’s day is around the corner
Just wanted to tell you how precious you are
To me
To us
And the whole family

A hope..!!


There is always a hope

A hope
To live life
Filled with happiness

A hope
To look upto God
And have the wishes come true

A hope
To have everyone around
For giving us that special something

A hope
To see the good things
When the bad takes us down

A hope
To be ourselves
And be accepted for that

A hope
To live the present
With zeal that would make the future shine

The break of dawn
Is a ray of hope
That there is always a new tomorrow
After a cloudy yesterday

A hope
That stays alive
Even when every feeling around has died

There is indeed always a hope
A hope
That sees us on the face
And smilingly says “if you hope
Maybe you might have it your way”

So, hope is that ray of the sun
That lightens the darkness spread around
Moment on moment and day on day
