Poem: YOU ARE STRONG!

-

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
I found a man standing by me.
A man with a hat, an overcoat, and a bag,
His eyes shined in the dark.
He held me straight and whispered to me breaking the silence,
That I was strong to fight the odds.
His words seemed like magic,
Filling me with courage and strength.
I stood straight, ready to fight,
Nor afraid, nor weak.
Had this been the ending may be,
But this was the beginning.
There were a million hurdles to cross,
a thousand answers to find.
From where did I belong,
Where did I come from?
Who brought me here,
or maybe I walked lost till here.

 Amongst the questions and the stories of victory, 
His words still lay at the top.
"You are strong!" as he said,
I still wonder who he was.
I am now on a journey to find him,
For now, I ponder, strong and fearless.

Chapter-7 The Phone Calls

-
It was back then when she just entered class 11th and he was enjoying his pre 12th vacation. She was stressed, taking up science was not, that good choice but she liked challenges!! (P.S. He warned her for not taking up science) He was in Manali on his school trip, but never happen to miss a single opportunity to text her. She was tired of her new schedule and happen to just fall on her bed out of mental and physical stress. She picked up her phone and texted him "Call me when you are free!!" Within minutes her phone rang and it was him. She uttered all her stress and whatever happened the whole day to him. He, being a good listener heard it all. She felt better and hearing his voice made her feel the best. Feeling at the top of the sky, she just wanted to talk about everything happening on both sides of the phone and that's what they did. They talked on until his friends made out to whom he was talking and started to tease him. His friends clicked random pictu...

La vie

Hello Pretty People!! La vie is the French word for "Life" I happen to visit a cancer hospital today and to be honest, I happen to forget all my misery after seeing that of the patients. I was sitting in the waiting area when a young girl about 9-year-old passed by me sitting in a wheelchair and the nurse pushing the wheelchair. Her wheelchair stopped at the reception and the nurse got busy with some documents. We both looked at each other pretending we didn't. I don't know what she thought but I was completely lost in my own thoughts about how life could be so unfair, about how she might be feeling, about how short life could and about the fact that life is so unpredictable. I was feeling broken inside for no reason for a past few days and today when I faced the reality of life, I feel no reason to cry upon my life however tangled it be. Every problem in one's life seems a giant until u realize what worse is happening with others. Be happy because u ...

Change : All what you need to know.

-
One thing that life taught me was "Nothing is Absolute" and "Change is necessary". Then why do people poke me and ask why have I changed over time? Wasn't change mandatory or they missed that lesson of life?? People come and go, and of course, the ones who stay, change over time. And eventually you feel that it isn't right or the person shouldn't have changed, then let me clarify it for you that CHANGE IS NECESSARY OVER TIME. So what became your issue with me!? Did I get rude with you? Then you deserved it somewhere. Did I ignore you? Then I don't feel comfortable with you. Did I stop talking to you? Then I don't feel necessary talking to you. Did I block you? Then I don't feel you should be an audience to my content. Well, I know the issues are limitless and with each perspective, it would add more to the list. ***** And coming to the point that what life would be like without any sort of change or evolution!? Then my...
