IF WINNING IS YOUR FORTE...

Unless you climb the mountain, unless you trip and fall

Little can you say, you’ve yourself seen it all!

Whelm out the reluctance, turn the stride and say

I’m ready for the struggle, till I become successful one day.

There are days that incite your courage; there are times you’re trapped in a cage

But you have to tell yourself, you read a book page by page.

Stand up if you falter, don’t dread if you fall

It’s only a bend in the road; it’s not the end at all.

There would be times when you are smiling; there are times you even cry

Does not stop you from standing upright; you’re again supposed to try.

At times you lose control; there are times there’s lots of pain

Its God’s way to make you learn, there’s a RAINBOW after the RAIN.

When you’ve braved to step in the ocean, when you’ve braved to rant the tide

You’ll swim in spite its roar, because you’re not the one who’ll hide.

To win is your forte, quitting is what you hate the most

That’s the zeal inborn in you; it’ll make you reach the coast.

God made you human to try, at least step and play the game

It’s only then you’ll agnize, what it feels to enjoy the fame!!!

A Journey called L.I.F.E

A journey called L.I.F.E

     A million dreams in our eyes we hold,

Aspiring to twinkle as stars of gold.

Life takes its turn in a different way

        And gets more testing with each passing day.

Confidence to stand and look up to face

       Determines our courage, persistence and pace.

With each passing day, as life unfolds

Truths unacquainted, realities untold.

That’s how it teaches, to stand on our feet

And to brave the cold and face the heat.

It’s not wrong to wish from those twinkling stars

The dreams they show in the midnight hours.

For life takes its time to shoot the gun

  Accept the challenge and face it with fun.

Its upto us, to see beyond the bend

Take a turn since it’s never the end.

STRANDED in the MIRAGE of FORBIDDANCE

Lonely I thought I stood, braving the pain. Little did there seem a way to let go. Overpowered by my naïve assumption that life had gone of my hands now. I failed to see the twinkling stars; I inhibited to bow to the morning sun. The moon at night no longer seemed promising for a brighter tomorrow.


There was air for all to breathe but, left me strangulated. The sun shone bright promising hope but, left me prejudiced to even open my eyes. I stood with a bleeding heart full of pain, standing alone feeling uncared, unseen. Deserted by the inferiority and my own forbiddance to face life.


This bend in the road was not the end but it was time for me to take a turn. One “U” turn that meant to face obstacles head on and not deter. To realize that my existence mattered and confidence was to be self inculcated first.


The echoing voices of those who mattered, who cared and were concerned remained deep seated. Life did give testing times but it was never too late to realize mistakes and look for solutions; Solutions that sit back in the back of our mind untendered to be implemented for good.


A thousand motivating voices stayed unheard. Unopened doors remained sealed not because of the disenchantment life held. It was the cobwebs of confusion in my mind and the complacency to bear the pain that exacerbated it. I was no longer living life but merely passing days believing there was soon to be the last.


The tears dried away and my throat ached, yet somewhere my heart said I was not born to give up. I wanted to face the fight.


But, today I feel that nothing more has helped than self belief. It’s aptly said that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. The same stars that twinkle every night motivate me. The sun shines and promises hope. The sun rays cease all negative thoughts and disarrays pre conceived notions. The moon light makes me dream following them to be realized by the rising sun. The rain amalgamates the tears once shed.


The killing silence of yesterday today gives time to retrospect and learn from mistakes.


The voices of my well wishers don’t diffuse but re remind me that I am born to realize dreams and fulfill expectations.

Handcuffed amidst the clouds of darkness…I realize it was me who overshadowed the light.
