Me and my thoughts

What is a festival? Is it not a time to have fun. Has it any relation to the the religion? If you a Christian, Should you not celebrate Festivals of our religions. This applies to all religions and festivals.The recent Vinayaga Chaturthi left me with a lot of questions. Just because i belong to a religion, Does not mean i should hate or ignore others. When i wished some of my friends, Their response was We don't celebrate it. I understand that everyone has different ideas and wishes. Still it remained a shock to me. I can not understand how people ignore festivals. Festival is the time of joy and love. May be they were created to increase the bonding between people and give them an opportunity to forgive each other. But is it creating a rift between them.  Is it the society, background and the traditional brought up? Even if it is so, what has the education system taught us. If education does not solve this basic issue. What is the point of it. How to actually solve this festiva...

375 years and counting This city is a fairy land on earth Along with some bit of hell This place welcomes all people Both good and bad, Both wise and lazy The city is filled with gifts For all who come It is a abode for all people The city has numerous places Each place with numerous memories People go come and change The city undergoes a lot of changes Something which has not changed about the city Is its warmth and Open hands It welcomes people Embraces them Showers them with love And Bid them farewell with tears People grumble, blame and bitch Still She patiently smiles And hugs us all Along with a million hearts I wish all a Happy Madras Day

I hate you because I have 1000 reasons to do it And I am still not able to do it properly How many reasons do I need to hate you Maybe a million I doubt even then I will be able to You have a strong control over you I sometimes feel I am a puppet You hold my strings You drop me whether you mean it or not I hate you only to let you hold me  again You make me freeze You make me feel warm You make me weep You also make me laugh The best thing is you make me laugh and weep at the same time You capture my mind at the smallest opportunity You break my defences You make me lose myself in you You make me feel lost You are the tear in the middle of the night You are the smile in the middle of the day Every place is haunted by you You creep into me And kill me slowly I hate you for all this Still have not succeeded…

We look for you everywhere We sometimes grumble and chase you Some even go counseling And spend lakhs in trying to find you But what we don’t understand or notice is You are present everywhere We are blind enough to look for you Even when you are near us You are present even in the smallest things around me A smallest smile A rewarding word A silliest joke A soft music Sometimes even heavy band songs A chocolate A simple rasam and appalam A small bite from a friend’s plate A coffee when you head feel like bursting Simple things, Simpler moments All these are right around you You come to us when we grab any of these Or a lot of other things also But we don’t have the time To accept or to give this We claim to be busy for nothing And lose you Then when we miss you And look for you everywhere, Happiness

Train journey is always exciting It teaches you a lot of things Both things to do and to avoid also The place resembles a war zone during peak time And a deserted coffee shop during other times People push each other in an effort to reach their destination on time They do it in their individual stress They use it as a place to vent out their frustrations They push and pull to get a small place in the train It reminds me of the challenges we have every day To gain a small place in this competitive world They sometimes fight for other people also How much actually get this chance Or do it in our lives They stand for each other with the same intensity of fighting We might do this only for our closed ones But for complete strangers is a no go Some people keep staring and grumbling whatever happens Some people are calm and smiling Different people , Different emotions Yet all stick together till the end of their journey It reminds me of life and t...

You are a part of me My mom does not like you nor understand you My aunt thinks you are a disturbance I lose you at the end of a tired day I don’t leave the house without you in the morning You have become an essential part of me My friends feel you will be the death of me I sometimes get lost with you I abuse you, sometimes even ignore u They are times even when I forgot you Only to remember you later Even some strangers warn me about you Still I stick to you People who talk about you Do not know nor understand our relationship You help me forgot the world Both external and internal You give a sense of peace Will most people don’t give me The short and memorable journey with you everyday Is definitely memorable You are special to me, My earphone 

Cut it deeper and make it heal faster Every wound tat is deep feels faster At least on the emotional front The more we protect the wound The more vulnerable it becomes The more time it takes to heal Yes wounds are painful It hurts you to death Death is simpler compared to pain It takes courage to accept pain But when you accept it It is better if it heals faster Too much pain for a short while Is much better than fear of pain itself Sometimes pain cannot be stopped It just happens Embrace it and maybe enjoy it Be safe from it But when it happens Allow it to happen cut it deeper so it heals faster

67 years before India was given independence We celebrate it every year Every year the meaning of the word slowly decreases The day is becoming just another holiday We don't realise nor experience the actual meaning Partly bcos of our lifestyle,  partly bcos we don't experience it What is independence It is the right to live with freedom For every individual of the country But is this the situation now The country as a whole is of course developing But is the common man happy and safe? Three meals per day is still a dream for many The safety of our women is still questionable The healthy nation dream is not even near The illiteracy rate never seems to waver Leave the usual grumbling about cleanliness and prices The day every man gets three meals a day And every women feels safe And every child is healthy and educated Then we will declare the nation Independent Till the struggle and sacrifice of many Seems an dream yet to be acheived

Some of us might not understand the actual meaning of independence Yes It means “to be free” But what does it mean to be free Today we have the right to speak Whether we hurt others by that or whether we heal them We speak what we feel like speaking Imagine a Life without that Imagine a life whether every word you utter is monitored Today we have the right to information We are always curious to know a lot of things Even a Kid writes to RTI these days Imagine a life where you know nothing about anything Neither the government ruling you nor the power around you Today we have right against exploitation We have the power to protect us Though we might or might not use it Imagine a life of slavery Today we have the right to freedom We can do what we want, We can go wherever we want Imagine a life without the right for anything We were given all the rights By a few people who spent their blood and sweat Sacrificed their life, Endured a lot of ...

  As you touch me I feel cold You make shiver But keep me warm inside You are definitely a treat But you are worth the weight You drench me with your blessing And make me fly with you You erase my sorrows And Fill me with peace You might leave a cold behind Along with a smile And happiness in my heart

She is a inseparable part of me And she is a part of you also With me, She always has a love hate war She Loves me so much that she pops up answers She hates me and throws memories at me She remember things that I wish to forget And Forgets the important things I want to remember She sometimes leaves me speechless in the middle of the meeting And comes to me in the middle of the night Bringing Sleepless hours along She is the one who brings a tear  And also a smile in me She deserts me  She deceives me Yet stays with me She is my every fluctuating memory

Confusion is my middle name I suddenly got confused what my favorite colour is The colour is always pink Which is light and makes you feel good The mode set in to decide and reconfirm it Is it the violet, The royal colour Is it the blue, The neutral colour Is it the green , The colour of prosperity Is it the yellow, the bold colour Is it the white, The silent colour Is it the black , The dangerous colour Is it the red, The sexy colour Is it the orange, The colour i hate Is it the brown, The cold colour I am yet to decide...

The first person who I turn to after my family Many times even before them You.know me better than me You know.my Every smile every frown every tear You allow me to be me And you love my flaws I may not be best person in the world Sometimes even the worst Still you.love me I.hurt u , ignore u Still you kick me and put me in track You rejoice with me You cry with me You hold me when needed You.give me the space to walk Still you keep a rein on me Without which I may Hav died long back You are my comforting hand The shoulder I hang on to The hug to warm me The stick to push me You appreciate my goodness And correct my mistakes And even help me accept.it I.am not sure if friendship is the word to describe it Its more than tat Since no better word is formed And I feel sleepy Wish you a very happy friendship day Better be my friend for ever

When you say bye , what does it mean Does it mean you will meet again soon Or that it is the final word of communication If it is the last word between us Would you say it Or Leave it unsaid Saying it may break your heart Making a way to heal Silence leads to a lot of expectations And leaves a small hint of hope light It never allows you to forget nor move on It keeps you in the dark and makes you feel lost It never gives a chance to heal Goodbye can hurt But it is always for the best
