The Endless Journey

The endless journey

I traveled the most

Longing for an end

I walked even more

Through twists and turns

And many crossroads

I passed by the meadows

Charred and smoked

I kept on walking

Through the visible fog

Far away in the twilight 

Was a glittery stone 

Showing some words 

Carved clear and bold

“Please don’t stop here– 
It’s an endless road”

Deafening Murmur

I can feel when I’m here…

When the silent breeze 

brushes weary face
And whispers something, 

you never wished to hear
Aging in the solitude, 

the news it breaks

With a deafening murmur,

head goes between the knees

and what comes up, 

is a smiling face
a masking smile,
for the world to share

Isolated sharing online

Sharing thoughts is a natural act of the homo-sapiens. Mommy used to say “Son! You better learn to share” As kids, we thought that she is advising to share materials only. 

People say that one can lighten one’s heart by exchanging thoughts with someone. If you do not find someone, say it loud against the wall and if you do not find a wall, write it down so that others also know what you are thinking.

These are not the sermons of a scholar, nor the agitating thoughts of any high profile mind, but simple feelings of a sensitive individual who gets deeply affected from the ills of society and is always in search of solutions for the betterment of his own self, fellow beings and society members.

The opening question is: Why do we tend to isolate ourselves from people around us? Not desiring that they may know who we really are by sharing our deep thoughts. Instead, we only have casual conversations about weather and so. Then we see that most people feel the need to share those deep thoughts over the internet. Why can’t we work on having a more bounded society by showing our neighbors, co-workers and so who we really are by telling what we really think? Wouldn’t that be a nicer world to live in?

Like it or lump it! It is always better to be a real person than to be a fake person, because if you are nothing more than a shell to the people you meet, it hurts you and them both. The reason why we have such a hard time with face-to-face contact is because our society seems to have forgotten how to communicate when we are around other people. It's also often easier to talk to a complete stranger about our problems to get advice because that person doesn't know us really well so they won't be as judgmental about who we really are. I know it's sad that the world has come to this, but if parents want to raise healthy children, they really need to work on the communication issues. A good way to do that is to set a good example themselves and treat each other with respect and dignity. Something that has been lost among the ages.

This world would be such a nicer place if we all could get along, but since we all can't, maybe we could find a way to settle our differences by talking instead of yelling. Politeness and kindness is rewarded higher than evil deeds. If we could remember to be polite and kind, it would make a better world to live in.

Although it is not advisable to cry over spilt milk but one must always see why it happened , how best it could have been avoided and how it can be avoided in future. There is always a room for improvement, space for mending our ways and opportunity for positive efforts. Leaving everything on luck or fate is not a healthy sign, we must always perform self assessment on daily basis . We should better emphasize on what we have done for our society rather than demanding what society can do for us. 

confused readers!

I am not a regular blogger as one can see from the number and frequency of my existing reflections, but I can tell you, I love to write. This statement itself may hoist a query in my dear readers mind. “Hey man! You love but you don’t show it to the world so often” I cannot give any explanation here because this very perception of “love vs expression” has become pandemic. Many authors write a lot with all the required frequency, quantity, and magnetism for the readers, which make the readers to comprehend the love for the scripts for a specific pen expert. However, if you only believe me, there is a handful of such bloggers who, after doing all the hard work, ask themselves “Do we really love to write”

From here, I would like the readers to join me a journey, filled with interesting and some confusing pathways. The above given scenario lets us come across at least four types of writers:

1.  Love to write so express it very often in any form

2.  Love to write but do not elaborate as often as above

3.  Do not love to write but decorate words too frequently for a show  

4.  Do not love to write at all, therefore, write rarely only when deemed necessary
        

It is not logically or more precisely, psychologically possible to find the 5^th type i.e. who love to write but do not write at all, or the 6^th type: who write rarely because his/her love for writing is less.  Love does not have regulator or volume control sort of button; only the ON/OFF switch is installed there.

I feel this is too much for a normal reader; I am sorry for being too tedious. But let’s come to real world now.

A reader will always remain confused about the writer’s love; no matter whatever the frequency and numbers of posts are there which are specifically written for the dear reader.          

Optimism for melancholic adolescent

It is very hard to believe that no one cares for you or everyone sort of hates you.  As you have not done anything wrong to everyone.  At your age one’s mind is usually very tender. It’s your childhood experience with your mom which has actually made you “Delusional”. Your perception has been altered regarding love, caring and hate. This is a normal reactive phenomenon of brain having this sort of early experiences in life. Though, it looks that you have entered into an early phase of depression yet you don’t need to have any medications. What you need is an “adolescence psychologist” Meanwhile, just start seeing world in a different perspective. If you feel that no one cares for you, don’t worry! Start caring for others. Do at least one thing really good which you can think about happily before going to sleep. Don’t think much about your past. Be logical! Whatever has been done has done. You cannot go back into the past and change it. So, think about now onwards, for you present and future. Don’t be reactive, be proactive. It’s only yourself who can get you out of this situation at the first place. Start helping yourself; soon you will see many doing something for you. Cheer up!    

The Crust

If "change in surroundings" is an effect; then "To be yourself" seems to be an obvious cause! Both cause and effect are subjected to “discovery of yourself” in the purest form...
