As the bird perched itself on the tree
It was finally left to be
Thankful to the kind human who set it free
Back to its home,the wonderful world it could again see.
LOVE STREAM
A love stream flows directly from your heart
And, you’re generous enough to let me borrow some of the love
But, I’ll make sure to return it to you later
Once the drought in my heart ends.
SUN AND MOON
Like the glorious sun and the mighty moon
let’s always have each other’s back,
In life, we’ll make up for what the other one lacks;
Like the sun, always try to shine bright
Be like the moon and in darkness,
become others’ guiding light;
Everyday like the beautiful sun
from our situations we have to rise,
Remember like the moon
beauty comes in different shapes and sizes;
Both the sun and the moon have their own unique place
Life should be savoured as it’s not meant to be a race;
These heavenly beauties teach us
how to co exist beautifully
For the sake of humanity, with each other,
let us live gracefully and cheerfully.
THIS TOO SHALL PASS……….
March 21st is observed as World Poetry Day and to mark this day,wrote a poem befitting the times we are currently in.May all the misery and pain end soon, and we all get another chance to live life that benefits not just the entire global community,but also our planet.Let’s try to stay positive and once again we shall all rise together.
Times may be rough
But you gotta act tough;
Put your faith in the almighty
Let’s all unite as one global society;
We are all together in this
Fighting through this situation
and in-between,trying to create small moments of bliss;
This too shall pass
Hopefully,by the end of it all
we’ll stop judging each other on the basis of caste, creed or class;
Hoping this misery and pain for all ends soon
May the universe grant us another chance at life as a boon.
MOTHER EARTH
Well,this marks my 50th post.Honestly,I don’t know what to feel.I mean,I’m delighted that I have written fifty blog posts and YAY to golden jubilee,but at the same time I feel, I could have done more for my blog and given it more time and focus than I did.But overall, I do feel this tiny sense of accomplishment in my heart as I write my 50th,as I’ve been contemplating to start a blog for years now, and for some reason or the other, never took the plunge.But,in 2018, I decided that the perfect time is never going to come and the time you start doing something you like, it automatically becomes the perfect time.So,I wrote two posts and the feeling I got after posting them was something else.It gave me such pleasure to share something I believe in and would hopefully resonate with someone else too. But, then went off the grid,thanks to the procrastinator that I am.So,in 2019,I decided that I had to award my blog the attention it deserved from me,and my love for writing brought me back.Though,I was consistent in the beginning but fell off the bandwagon again.But,you know what??Life happens and I’ve realized that it’s okay to post whenever you feel like and not treat it like work,and as cliche as it sounds,you just got to enjoy the process. After all,it’s your blog and you can do whatever you want with it ,whenever you want and wherever you want and that’s the beauty of it.Okay, I think I need to stop now and come straight to the point,otherwise this post is going to become a few pages long.So,I was thinking of a topic to write on and realized that that I didn’t get to post this piece I had written for Earth Day for whatever reason, but what better time than now, as this is a cause which I believe everyone should stand up for.Our planet needs us now more than ever,and all we’ve got is our mother Earth and if we take care of her, she’ll take care of us.
Also,I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the people that have followed my blog,liked the posts or commented on it.Your support really means a lot to me and encourages me to write more,and gives me the push I need when I start to become a little complacent with my blog.Apart from being a writer,the other thing that I enjoy doing is reading other people’s blogs whenever I get the time to and it simply blows my mind how talented and hardworking people are and what amazing pieces of art they produce.This acts as a motivator for me and makes me want to give my best too .It may not be the best content out there,but I know for a fact that that it is something unique to me and maybe will touch chord with some people,if not all.So,here goes my 50th post-
You are our only home
Where we can freely roam;
Over the years,
taken you for granted;
Wreaked havoc and
not enough trees planted;
In a place,which was once
pure and enchanted;
Still,like a nurturer
you are always giving;
More often than not
always forgiving;
Sometimes,you are angry too
And, lash out in the form
of a natural calamity;
Making us question
our morality and humanity;
So,can we all pledge to do our bit
to protect our mother EARTH?
From whose embrace millions take birth.
Once again,thank you for taking out time to read my blog posts and hopefully,here’s to many more in the future.Cheers!!
GIFT TO HUMANITY
You are a gift to humanity
So,don’t lose your place ;
Get up every time with grace
In this life,which is not meant to be a race.
It’s a marathon and only the ones
with grit and determination survive;
If it’s too much,just take a breather and unwind.
Pick up from where you left
Give it your all and hope for the best;
Wonderful things are meant to happen
You just have to tap in.
Placed on this Earth for a reason
To witness various seasons;
Live your life without insanity
For you are a gift to HUMANITY.
Small gestures make a big difference……
Imagine you are having a rough day and nothing is going well for you, but then someone compliments you and TING-it makes you happy or as Marie Kondo would say” SPARKS JOY” inside you.Well believe it or not,in this day and age of technology,we are so busy with our day- to-day lives that we tend to forget the joy we get in small little things.I’m sure everyone must have read articles on how doing small little things such as spending time in nature,having a lovely chat with your dear ones,cuddling with your pets,eating your favourite desserts among many other things bring joy to us.
In the same way,doing small acts of kindness can bring joy not only to you but of course the other person as well.And, you don’t need to go out of your way to do these things.Just go with the flow and see what you can do for others. By others it could be anyone or anything-people,animals,environment or yourself(yes,you read that right).So, if you are wondering on how to make a start, let me give you a few starters though I’m pretty sure you all must have heard of these things before or have done them already or are doing them everyday.But,still there’s no harm in reminding ourselves,right?Here we go-
1.Compliments-I mean c’mon who doesn’t like compliments?Already discussed briefly,these are the easiest way to make people around you happy.But, make sure your compliment sounds genuine and comes from a place of love and respect for the other person.*Pro tip*-Don’t just compliment people for their looks,rather compliment them for the qualities you admire in the other person.
2.Thank you’s and Sorry’s-Never be shy to say these words as and when required but make sure you don’t go overboard with these terms because then they tend to lose their value and mean nothing to others.
3.Random acts of kindness-These could be anything and as random as possible such as giving up your seat to an elderly person/someone who’s in need,keeping a bowl of water for birds/squirrels in your garden,providing education to someone who doesn’t have access to it,et al.You get the gist ,right?
4.Be kind to yourself-Lastly but certainly one of the most important one is to be kind to yourself.If we are talking about doing kind gestures towards others,then why not do it for ourselves too.So,please don’t be harsh on yourself and always try to look for the positives even you feel everything is going against you.(I know it’s easier said than done but let’s all try at least) It’s extremely important to take care of your body,soul and mind by indulging yourself in things which give you joy and contentment.As long as you compliment yourself on your achievements,learn better from your mistakes and keep on growing and evolving as a better human being that our world needs right now,you are doing absolutely fine.
We all need to remind ourselves to be kind to one another and the world will be a better place.You all must have noticed how I’ve labelled these gestures as small or little but honestly speaking they are not so small or little and can actually hold the power to transform someone’s day and if we keep practicing kindness and empathy, the world is surely going to be a better place to live in.Also, I would like to reiterate that there are many people who are already doing these things and much greater actually for themselves and everybody around them, but if you want to make a start somewhere right now is the time.I’ll end by stating one of my favourite quotes-
THROW KINDNESS AROUND LIKE CONFETTI
