"EPIPHANY"

The strangest things can happen when it’s least expect it. Life gives no surety of any kind yet there is something so magical about it. The choices it can throw at you when you’re not ready to choose. The decision is always in one’s hand. You either take the right decision or the wrong decision. Here lies my question, who decides if the choice made was right or wrong? God’s got one hell of a sense of humour, he manages to give one those choices and then sit and watch!! The irony of it all is that one always knows what kind of result to expect. Knowing it only makes things worse and confusing then they already are.

The word “end” comes with other ghastly words like “bitter” or “cold”, it’s rather silly but I think that these words are the last in my vocabulary especially in association with the word “end”. I believe that the end is merely a beginning. Why end it anything, why not begin everything? There is an epiphany here; a proverb “call it a day”, there is something about it which fits the “ends” so well. Imagine having a really bad day and wrapping it up beautifully just by saying “I’m calling it a day!!”

I’ve understood very lately that it’s not the big things in life that give me “my joy”, but the small ones. Love is in the details and it’s not everyday that one uses this word genuinely and not push it around. If the little things are taken care of, the big ones are automatically taken care of. If one has a mind set of sorts and refuses to see the little pretty things, there is no way they’ll see the bigger picture. “Joys” are of many kinds and hold certain significance in one’s life. For me, the very essence of life gives me joy; the sweet little nothings give me joy!! I’ve learnt a new thing; it’s these little joys that are the building blocks of life (irrespective of what the science guys have to say). One’s “joy” is one’s very own hands! A thing of beauty will always be a joy forever!!!

One of my dear friends once said “the earth doesn’t stop moving does it? So, why should you?” as strange as it may sound, this is one of the biggest eye openers I’ve had in ages!! We’re human, we err!! It’s a tendency, we all make mistakes and that’s how we learn. But how many mistakes are allowed to make? Is there a definite number to it? “Move on”… word that holds so much continuity, yet today it means different thing. Does it mean to move on from the present state of life to a completely new one or does it mean to continue in the same situation?

I’ve had the pleasure of walking around my beloved city with a camera and have captured so many faces now, I feel like I know them all. There is a connection that I have with them, every single one…one of its kinds!! A picture has a million things to say, somebody just needs to hear.

"LOVE ACTUALLY IS....EVERYWHERE!!"

"CAN THIS BE REAL"

I close my eyes,
can't believe how much i can see...
Can this be real?
So much love that's in front of me...
a dream is a wish,
a desire so real...
and the faking of it to!
Having it all for a moment,
and nothing in the next!!
Can this be real?

"HOW..."

Rolling stones gather no moss,
HOW long am i to roll?
my life's on a standstill...
a situation where I'm standing yet paying a toll
HOW easy it is to get
accustomed to...
people..things...places?
Old habits die hard..
old dreams even harder!!
HOW is it that i get attached?
i trust so easily....
either i am naive or just stupid!!
I don't know yet...
i smile with all my might,
laugh at everything in sight...
I'm loosing strength...
HOW much more can i do?
now the time has come
to grow up and leave
everything familiar and naive.
DAMN!!HOW...HOW am i going to do all this?
i like this,i like now...
but how long...how long?
