WHAT DOESN'T KILL ME. MAKES ME STRONGER!

Image
What doesn't kill you only makes you stronger. Is a phrase I am reminded of, when I'm caught in the middle of a crazy situation. Sometimes, no matter how happy-go-lucky sort of a person you are, life hits to you. And it is true that surviving such situation, adds another line in your palms and a 'bring it on' statement in your head. When there are problems plaguing the personal arena, you will invest all your energies into work. You head will be full of 'Studies is my priority right now.' You will try as much to avoid home, social functions and calls on the pretext of 'I'm busy.' Secretly in your head you know your work was done long back, you just want to pretend to work so no one sees your miserable and vulnerable side. In such situations the anger element also starts reflecting more often. But the worst of the situation is yet to be talked about. What about the days where crisis hits your personal and professional life. You went through a r

EMPTY SPACES

When you hit rock bottom in a deep sea, they say that's your signal and the only way from there is the way up. But what about the time you do not wish to swim up? What if you find your solace and comfort sitting on the bed of the sea? Maybe you have not given up on your life yet and maybe it is just where you want to be, momentarily. It is an amazing thing created by God, the heart that is. It loves, learns, cries, forgives, hurts, and loves again. The power of endurance vested with this little blood pumping organ is just unbelievable. Even when it hurts, you can be rest assured you are normal. If your heart can be happy, it is allowed to get hurt too. But what if you belong to another category of people, where the hearts stops feeling anything. It wont be hurt, it won't hate, it is just dormant. It is numb. So happiness will not affect it, tears brush past. Minutes, Hours, Days pass, it sits there, doing its functional job. Is there a feeling greater than pain tha

DISTANCE

Image
Life has led to many roads, Many crossed paths, Some ran parallel. The one that stood still at an intersection, brought me to you. Time froze in the magic, Seemed like life found a destination, Emotions clouded the scene, I could breathe, or was it sub conscious. I longed to touch, And though you seemed near, The arms fell short of the distance. Never fret dear, I told myself Another day. The warmth in the eyes, Is what I needed to soak. Except suddenly someone called tears were first to fill that place. Go away I said, its not your day. Sadly they don't obey, I blink and you disappear. Leaving me at the crossroads, The directions help me with the confusion, Perplexed, lost and deserted. " Baby doll are you done with that gloomy poetry yet?" I look up smile, and think to my self, life brought me to the road where the destination is you. All's sorted i guess!

THE UNSPOKEN SILENCE

Image
Can you believe it? He says, And smiles sheepishly. Narrating to me an incident, I look back and smile, Not because of the incident, But seeing the gleam in his eye. The eyes had school boy innocence, I could look into them for hours And not flutter my eyes even once. As he drives, paying attention to the road, I steal glances at him, Hoping he wouldn’t catch me red handed Whoever said loves leads to insomnia, Must have been on sleeping pills, Because that was the case with me! As much I was treasuring my time with him, I would wish the time to stand still. Even though the sun was high up in the sky, The sun of this moment was about to set soon. I wish this moment had just started, A prayer of hope against hope, As the car stops, The engine goes off The beauty of the silence is broken By rain drops on the car, Millions of rain drops, Chatting with each other As the gods above, Clash their challis, causing thunderstorm I look at him and say ‘This is it’, a

FATHER, SAVE ME BEFORE M GONE...

Image
Father Never Understood... Is it too painful to be true? I just hugged my wings and flew... Flew away to my own world I walked away silently without a word I looked into my father's eyes for the last time He let me go and that's his crime "Why daddy? Why didn't you care?" "Do you see that life is not fair?" Mother is sitting next to you crying her eyes out you are the one she can't be without why don't you calm down and try to understand I'm drowning in my regrets; can you give me a hand? Well I think life is nothing more than pain And the problem is that we can't complain Please just let me explain I'm seeing your reflection in the mirror in front of me the chains are hugging me, I guess I can't be free "Is this is the last time I close my eyes?" I think I de

MY FATHER, MY ULTIMATE MOTIVATOR..!

Image
It was a Friday evening, my brother, my mother and I were chatting. Just then, I realised that my gold locket was missing. I got up and checked everywhere but I could not find it. I was wondering how to disclose it, but after gathering courage I yelled that my locket was missing. I finished my sentence and a hundred questions poured on me, but I could not answer any. My brother and mother started searching every corner of the house. I was thinking how I would face my father who was about to come home any time.At last he came. Seeing him I go very scared. The moment he saw me he asked me what the matter was. My mother told him about the lost locket. I closed my eyes ready to listen to the scolding. But I was totally wrong. Instead my father came near me and kept his hands on my shoulders and very calmly said, "Don't be sad for such small matters. You should not worry but try to face the problem. By worrying or by getting nervous you won't get it back."

LIFE STARTS WITHIN HER "MOTHER"

Image
“The Prophet Muhammad said, may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him: Your Heaven lies under the feet of your mother (Ahmad, Nasai)” Our mothers are no doubt the most significant women in our lives. She gave birth to us and endured so much pain during the birthing process, breastfed us, raised us and loved us regardless of how many times we upset, disappointed or made her angry. The years of mistreatment that we’ve given our mothers would never  be tolerated by anybody else but masha’Allah, Allah gave her never-ending mercy. Our mothers are gentle, kind, loving, caring, strong, tough, motivating and passionate towards their children. Have you ever seen anyone with such a mixture of attributes? Sadly, at times we don’t appreciate her efforts. For example, we may mistake her pushing us to do well educationally as her being mean or harsh against you. Not appreciating our mothers efforts can turn the mother-daughter relationship completely upside down. Especially during

*FRIENDS*

Image
A person who would never intentionally hurt you, lie to you, deceive you, manipulate you, abuse you and who takes great care to be kind to you, honest with you, dependable and loyal. Someone who you trust without question because they have never given you any reason not to trust them. Someone you enjoy being around and look forward to seeing. Someone who would sacrifice themself for you.  A friend is someone you love and who loves you, someone you respect and who respects you, someone whom you trust and who trusts you. A friend is honest and makes you want to be honest, too. A friend is loyal. A friend is someone who is happy to spend time with you doing absolutely nothing at all; someone who doesn't mind driving you on stupid errands, who will get up at midnight just because you want to go on an adventure, and who doesn’t have to talk to communicate with you. A friend is someone who not only doesn't care if you're ugly or boring, but doesn&#

CREATIONISM OR EVOLUTION? ARE THEY THE SAME....

Image
A while ago in science class, we had a very interesting conversation about the Creationism and the Evolution theory of mankind (and womenkind). Our teacher told us that although both theories are polar opposites of each other, he personally believed that a little bit of both were at work at the same time, simply because both theories are right in their own way. NOTE: Mr.ScienceTeacher and I are both atheists, however, we both regard religion highly (my teacher comes from a religious background, and I myself was brought up to keep an open mind, plus, I love to read different "holy books" if you will say that) and thus, this post is in no way trying to brainwash or disagree with those who strongly believe in only Creationism or Evolution. Please accept our sincere apologies beforehand if this post offends you (or your religion) in any way. Picture this: God created something, which he named "man". From the something, God created something else, which he named "

"DEATH" LAST LEVEL OF THE GAME CALLED LIFE..

Image
"When someone dies it is normal to feel some grief at the sense of loss. And that's the point. We grieve because we have lost the future benefit of how that person made us feel and how our egos always benefited from that. A man says, "I grieve deeply because I feel deeply." Sounds good but it is the ego talking. When you lose the ego stroking that the deceased provided your ego, feels a sense of loss because the ego exists in the past and future. To stay in the present without creating scenarios of loneliness without the loved one, is to grieve minimally realizing that death is part of life and a transition, not an end. Detach with love and accept what is, and the grieving will take on a more real dimension. "   "How do I deal with my grief, immeasurable beyond belief? Then again, I'm feeling fine. Man may be mortal, but God is divine."
