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
