It's what it is..

Hold your head high

Let the light burn through you

Know that you can..always can..

Don't let your reality be colored by someone else's opinion

None of it is real and will never be

What is real..

What is true..

Is what you make of it!

And in the end, that is all that matters.

Selfie Saturdays #1

I've been thinking for awhile to make a list of all the 'A-HA' moments that hit me once in awhile. You know one of those times when you just realise something - whether it's about life, yourself, people around you, family, friendship, out of the box, crazy, funny, 'Oh hold on! This doesn't make any sense!' or 'You've gotta be kiddin' me!' liners. So finally I've come up with my 'Selfies' - Nope not the 'Look-at- me' pics taken by an extended arm kind but more of a 'This-is-what-i-think' liners of an extended mind kind!! I wanted to do it regularly so here I give u 'Selfie Saturdays'. Just stuff that I think is worth sharing rather than leaving it to be forgotten in my Random Access Memory..:)

So here's today's Selfie :

'Getting into photography is just like getting into a relationship - 

Exciting in the beginning, 

Confusing in the middle, 

Burn-out somewhere in between,

Passionate towards the end if it still gets you excited..

In the end you realise - The beginning will always be the best part of your story!'

You'll never know...

You'll

Never Know 

True love

Until it breaks 

Your Heart..

You'll

Never Know 

Real strength

Of character

Until it's

Tested infinitely..

Over the edge...

Is it not

What we desire most

Makes us..?

Is it not

What we want most
 Breaks us..?

THE WIND

Faceless it mutters

Breathless it stutters

Mouthful it fills

Lifeless it kills

Naked it moves

Noises of hooves

Wingless it flies

Traceless it dies

Why me?

If death came knocking on my door

I’d gladly open it and let it in…
It couldn't scare me, not anymore

If pain came along and asked me if I wanted more

I’d have to humbly decline…

For my basket was already full and overflowing

In pursuit of....

To know you can

Even before you began

To set sail o’er there

Without a doubt you did dare

Sitting in the harsh summer’s sun

All this would have been fun

If a smooth path you had chosen

Before the past within you had frozen

Miracle

Miracles do happen
They happen everyday

In every way

In Jan, feb, March  and May

They happen,

In the most unusual of forms

Beating all norms

Making a way out of nothingness

No matter what the mess

They are happening,

In every second, every moment of our lives

Whether you believe it or not

They happen,

If you really want it

Right there,

From the very bottom of your heart

Trust in it

Believe blindly

When you want something badly

The whole universe,

Conspires to give us just that

It’s as simple as that

Miracles are waiting to happen,

In your life

Only if you let it

Only if you give it the opportunity

Only if you dare believe in miracles

And you can’t just sit there

And wait for it to come to you

You’ve got to give back selflessly

Without any expectations

Work hard to be excellent at what you do

Success will come knocking at your door!!!

Birdy

At the edge

Eagerly, she waited

To flap out her wings
To fly over the mountain ledge

 On a broken window sill

Listening, she sat

To the sounds of worthy prey

To swoop down on her kill

Over the tree tops

Elegantly, she flew

To where the winds took her

To move on till her heart stops

On a brambled bush

Momentarily, she perched

To feel the cool breeze
To lift up with a l’il jerky push

Deep in the woods

Her soulmate, she found

To love she surrendered

To rise high above earthly goods

Inside the nest

Together, they built

To hold on to one another

To dream of the very best

Come spring

The flowers bloom

She cuddles her babies
Beneath her feathered wing

The time has come

They are ready to fly

She heaves a heavy sigh

Knowing she has to let go of some

It’s a beautiful scene

As they embrace

Eager to fly out

It’s a wonder

What such love could mean

And now she waits

Looking out into the deep blue sky

To start life anew

Even though she had to part with a few!

Deep Within

For the life that beckons

Far beyond I reckon

A single beautiful thought

Changes everything

Not a penny here

Or one there

With which it can be bought!

There’s a single beautiful mind

It’s always been there

For you to look inside to find

Instead of everywhere

For every wish to come true

Believe in the magic

That you brew!

A single beautiful song

Helps you connect the pieces

Might have taken long

Without leaving behind any traces

Your own way you pave

Through every obstacle grave

Like a rock

That made you stumble

At every block

You moved on more humble

You pick it up and hold on tight

Till you see your way forward light!

A single beautiful feeling

Renders life a new meaning

“I can” or “I cannot” say you might

In the end you shall realise

That you were always right

For want of a belief

You’ve got to turn over a new leaf

For want of a goal

You’ve got to look within your own soul

For want of a wish

You’ve always had the power within you to unleash!

For want of your dreams

Live life with gratitude

For then there will be nothing

That you cannot achieve

No matter what the magnitgude!

I believe..

I believe…
When the world has turned it’s back on you
And you know not what to do…
It calls for a new beginning!
I believe…
When the best of people turn you down
In the worst of situations
It’s time to decide whom you can count on!
I believe…
When you end up feeling like a loser
And there is not a soul to look upto
It’s time to move on!
I believe…
When the word ‘trust’
Doesn’t seem magical anymore
It’s time you turned over a new leaf of life!
I believe…
When the time is yours
And the clock’s ticking away
Make the most of it!
I believe..
In reliving your deams..
Coz it’s never too late
To nurture what you’ve always wanted to do!
I believe..
If you’ve ever longed to do something
Then the time is NOW!
Coz life’s too short to wait for the perfect moment
Or the perfect ‘one’….
It’s time you stand up
And learn to paint your own perfect picture!!!...
Coz life’s calling…
It’s time to go….

What it takes...

What it takes?
It might take a 1000 seconds to say IT,
A 1000 minutes to express IT…
Another 1000 hours to understand IT..
A 1000 days to live upto IT!
Maybe even a few years...who knows?
But to say, express, understand and truly live it now..

Is what IT takes!
Everyday I wake up and watch the sunrise
So real and yet so beautiful
Makes me wonder and mesmerize
So simple, I could take a handful!
How can it be the same everyday?
When there be 4 seasons and 12 months
Just like Autumn,Winter, March and May
It shines brighter than ever
No difference whatsoever none
As beautiful as the morning dew
I get ready to face every day new!
That’s how life’s gonna be
Taking each step as it comes by me
We hold hands and cross the river of life
Never to let go
No matter what the future strife
It’s meant to be so!
