FESTIVAL OF COLORS~

Festival of colors~

The aroma is diffused in heavens

Feel the zeal spread all around
Warmth in hearts melts down

The difference between YOU and I

Festival of integrity~

We admire the innocence in relations

With heart full of love and grace
Today all evils take a backseat

It is the carnival of sparkling faith

Festival of devotion~

When we wink at boundaries and regions

Love becomes the only religion

Limits recede and celebrations proceeds
Time to engage in naughty yet naïve recreation

Festival of novelty~

Composed in the swing of lovely things

Blend in different strokes of colors
Bring to light enduring uniqueness

The exquisite togetherness in relations

Festival of delight~

Halo of arms joined

We cease the diverse stages of life

Happiness and insanity does rounds

To kindle the little child slept deep inside

Festival of revival~

The tales of wisdom by times of yore

Time to throw some light on glorious shore

Cherish the treasure of learning from sages
Vital for life’s tough survival since ages!!!

WISHING ALL OF YOU A V HAPPY, COLORFUL, AND SAFE HOLI

When I Was Lost In Me...



When You Met "YOU"

Has it ever happened with you, that you are smoldering your pain in your heart and churning your emotions continuously within because all you can do is nothing. You have to go with the flow. You get a real face-off with life. Life has left you baffled and you are shattered. This is the time when you are dwelling deep inside you, searching within and come across with YOU. You realize you have lost yourself somewhere in meeting the demands of others, losing yourself truly and madly in love of someone, trying to prove yourself to family and society (may be you don’t realize it at the process of doing it but you are actually doing it) or constantly chasing other things in life and at a snail’s pace the real YOU is diminishing.

The unexpected and unplanned events of life, moments of disdain and pain start pulling you deep in self-realization. I am not sure about the moments of happiness but I am confident about the painful events and moments as your energy level is so high that you want, no not just want rather I should say you crave to accomplish high in life. All you aspire is to touch the highest echelon in your life. The energy behind your pain is so deep and extreme that even you do not realize that when the moment arrives when slowly you start slipping into something you were never aware about yourself. It can be anything, singing, painting, writing or over indulgence in your work and you derive results which were like never before.

This is a very natural reaction, you may not even realize that you have achieved something like this unless until your near and dear ones bring your action and achievement into your notice. This is never planned by you rather LIFE has planned this for you. You are amazed at yourself how you did this, how come you never realize this about yourself? This is just a natural process of utilizing the accumulated energy of uncontrolled emotions inside you. You do not want to do it for accolades but you do it because it soothes your soul and gives you deep satisfaction. It gives your emotions a dwelling.

And now pain is not the only reason or it is not the only energy associated with the similar. Now synchronization of different energies like the admiration for your work from you allies, the growing realization within yourself, and energy you derive from your accomplishments coalesce together to give birth to a dream or rather I should say your passion or the love of your life.

Ever wondered or realized that now you are sinking deep into yourself and the pleasure you derive from your performance is something beyond this world and with each passing day you want to immerse more in you.

Your dreams become your passion and then they become your mission. You know why? - Because you perform those actions with your heart and soul. They are slowly inventing the real YOU..

The accolades and accomplishments just follow YOU; you no longer follow these things in life because you have moved ahead of them in life.

You realize that while chasing some things in life, a void has been created in your heart and the path of self-realization has made you devoid of all these things in life. They no longer lure you...They no longer appear fascinating to you!

You have met “YOU”!

Emotions soaked past midnight

Heart nourished throughout with pain

Wedged them from soul to path of gain

Like the depth of several oceans merge

Soul was in depth flourished

Engrossed deep within me

With the slow elapse of time

In the process of renaissance

I experienced immense ecstasy

No glory and admiration can ever define

Fear slowly diminishing like fumes

Joie de vivre holding hands at every step

Lost deep in me miles I crossed

Every stride of self realization I traversed

As an individual I moved a step ahead

Gains now do not matter

And loss no longer shatter

Like a river I go with life’s flow

I am basked in glory of my unique glow

Every day appears to me as new dawn!!!

WHEN I WAS LOST IN GOD

We all must have been through tough times in our lives when we experienced the most unexpected happenings. The events would have shook our core and there would have been a time when our soul must have cried profousely. We must have felt that this is what the worst that could have happened to us and now from this point our life will never be the same. I believe many would of us would have felt so.

We would have fought with our creator continuously with only one question- Why Me?

Our creator loves us so much that at times to open our eyes and clear our blurred vision he gives us sudden shocks. These days of pain and moments of disdain is actually the time when we get introduced to our real selves and we realize our real capabilties. He is our creator and his every creation is very special and close to his heart. It is just a miniscule effort from his end to see his children read his omens and pave their path to success and happiness for lifetime. We realize the justification of his actions at a later point of time in our lives and get more closer to him. AMEN!!!

 Dreams were lost and shattered

To never see light of the day

I fought with God

How can you abscond?

And leave me forlorn in middle of the way

Game of proposals and disposals going its way

Molding my future silently in your elegant way

The cultivation of my endeavors

Strong prayers the reason of persuasion

When fears were spying to chase my soul

How can you abscond?

I cried alone when I couldn’t figure out your trace anywhere

Silence dignified and personified was your way

I was indebted when I saw immense glory all my way

God I know we fought

All the way through this event

My pain reflected as tears in your eyes

Yes we are best comrades

And can always mend the ways

Yes God you have paved my path with gold

Enlightened with profound glory all the way all the way!!!

WHEN I WAS LOST IN YOU GOD!!!

NEVER CAST YOUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE

I keep my words till end to assess the honesty at opposite end

My heart is very disappointed to see the trend

I am amazed at myself to expect the basic courtesy in return
I was let down to see how true colors of people flourished
They lack even the basic potential to show off and pretend

I practice reverence when I meet people from all walks of life
I am disappointed to see the changing spirits and vibes
Why they find it so hard to be themselves and gallant
I am amazed to see them fulfill mean expectations by phony talents
With no iota of doubt their trivial portico is two faced and hearts vacant

I practice silence when I meet imposters to assess my patience
I am disappointed to see the lack of basic humility and decorum
They try to pull you down from their mean attempts
Ironically they forget or essentially lack the vital edification
Law of nature says what you practice today always get back in return

I practice composure when I meet bigheaded to assess my humility 
I am astounded to see how they carry the heaviness of superiority on their sleeves

The layer of arrogance haze their judgment with false impression it will never cease      

They look out over the fact that time changes within the fraction of seconds
I am not madden on the contrary feel pity for their trivial actions

I practice humility when I come across jabbers and absurdity
I preserve calmness as they say brevity is the soul of wit
Wisdom does not allow me to pay attention on those who talk big
In long term swanks always learn their lessons and have their heads down
When you have faith he leads to destiny and rewards you very big

I try to distend in anomalous situations to assess my vigor and potency
I am amazed from where I gather strength to fight with full spirit
I practice to not come in terms till I stumble on my accomplishments
I am a maniac to risk very often despite I know things may never return
Holy "BIBLE" says- Never Caste Your Pearls Before Swine!!!

THEY TRIED TO IMPERSONATE ME

They tried to impersonate my panache

But could not trace an ounce of my grace

They tried to impersoante my character

But could not acquainted with my soul

They tried to impersoante my conduct

But could not even touch a morsel of my standards

They tried to impersonate my essence

But could not even stretch to my façade

They tried to impersonate my eccentricity
But could not even lay hand even on my variance

They tried to impersonate my beliefs
But could not even arrive at my reservations

They tried to impersonate my assertion
But could not even imitate my qualms

They tried to impersonate my ambitions
But could not even arrive at my notions

They tried to impersonate my conventions
But could not even emulate my peculiarities

They tried to impersonate my ideas
But could not even imitate my perceptions

They tried to impersonate my purity
But could not even reach till my innocence

They tried to impersonate ME
Fools never realized
Can’t even lay hands on my REFLECTION
