Verses of The Dead

As Mist drains from heaven to earth,

The epitaph finds verses of mirth…

Of falling heroes and rotten salads,

Unending quests and Unspoken ballads,

Chains of fury and temptations of pleasure,

Untapped potential and hidden treasure.

----

Of sorrows in happiness and pain in joys,

Of things that one takes for granted and never rejoice.

The lost glory in forgotten songs of rust,

And words that came from shear frust.

Things of beauty that never really were,

Glasses of wine that needed a fresh stir,

Whispers that long raged within to find a voice,

And moments that helps us make a choice….

Of when to do,

And what to say...

Those screaming sounds

That ended in pray.

Rise of an angel,

From the coffins of hell…

The unprecedented trauma

That left me in a shell....

Some who went and left a hole,

Faces yet smiled though burned was the soul,

And prayers that went unanswered again,

And reactions that could have left anyone insane.

The fresh curry of new dreams,

A new set of rush and streams.

Of strings that now, might never be played

Belonging to the melodies, that have still stayed

And those blue pair of eyes….

That still finds a shelter in my poems

The smile that rests on those angelic lips

And the pink color of her finger nail tips

That last bus which I wish she would have missed,

And that last time when we should have kissed.

Of the shoulds and might….

And the wrongs and right…

From would be and could be….

To must be and may be…

The questions remain the same,

The shadow that is still timid and tame

In the prayers of seeking a path of rest

The one that for me would be the best.

-----

And hopefully the sun would rise….

And hopefully It would find me here…

Resting in the grass laden in mist…

That came from heaven above….

Soaked me…

Burnt me….

And left me in the nirvana

Where I met myself as same!

….. and The epitaph was speaking again!

PS – This came out, I don’t know from where…. I just sat, texted and published this one. It has too much of what I wish to say right now… Where was I ? Why was I gone? Why am I back ? :P everything is somewhere in this….
Dedicated to a set of songs… hearing them again and again lately, have got me bouncing back somewhat to writing. The first 3 that comes to mind as of now are “Don’t cry” and “Sweet child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses and “Nothing else matters” by mettalica. Old classics and yet effective in drenching out the rust that seeps in at times : )
(The cover picture source : This too is a homage to the spirit of song writing, lyrical mystique and the aroma of music that liberates the soul and cure the wounds)
Plus…My dear friend Salil Shankar, has been a constant support all this while, Thanks for encouraging me to tryin to do it again…what I have always loved the most. : ) U rock!

Learn from the temptations of life!!

ROBERT FROST defined life in 3 words... “IT GOES ON”

I think...

Most complex problems do have a solution. Every Question framed by a person can surely be answered by another person! Nothing is difficult! We consider it difficult and tough cos It is only that we don't
Attempt to think.... In the right direction!

Life is an lesson
you learn it all
when you are through!

Love is a journey
which never
gets completed In life!

Lust is sin
for those who
haven't been in love!

Desire is a need
that no lust can
fulfill or satisfy!

Satisfaction is a
dream of impossibility
for victims of ambitions!

Impossibility in ventures
are seen by those...
who haven't encountered...
ambitions, satisfaction, desire, Lust, Love... Life!

Everything thats worthy in life is irresistible!

Everything thats irresistible,

teaches you , never to give up

In the form of Its Never ending tempt!

WINNING IS ALL ABOUT MAKING COMEBACKS

Not everyone can be a winner in every battle of life! People who emerge as the real winners of life are the ones who wins the war, if not every battle! They fall, they regret, they cry and then out of no where they return, they rise, they rejoice, they fall again... and then in the same manner return again! Its all about coming back whenever You fall!

In a result oriented world, not every time does odds turns in your favor, some times you get less than what you expect, less than what you deserve, less than everyone around you! You lose! But to lose and to be a loser are two different things, the people who know this difference are the once who wins the long race of life!

When we fall, we constantly are titled as losers or failures by everyone around us, including our soul! We regret a lot as each one of us know why we fall or fail and we regret for not utilizing the time, for not listening to well wishers, for wasting the resources, for being careless and for thousands of other things. We curse ourself and the almighty! We remember the good old times when we were on a high and constantly miss those days! Analyzes that where had all that gone, we conclude that we have changed, we had been doing activities that we shouldn't have done ever, then we resolve to ourselves that we would stop all the things that had led us to failure or downfall and would do all that those people do who had succeeded!

Time passes by, we work hard, very very hard... still something miss! We are still not able to reach the same top where we belonged to! Then we curse god and loses our faith, sometimes breaks down to accept that we had lost it long back and can never get to our best again! Then moves back to old habits(that we had at the time when the failure struck us), rising up at the same time in the morning, listening to the same songs, hanging around with the same friends... at the very next hurdle of life, we discover what we are, the true identity of ourself! We define the dimensions of our success and failure again! And evaluate the positives in the negatives! Work hard on our strengths and fights with them rather than excessively pushing ourself to focus on weak points! We hit hard! We strike back! We smile again! We rise again! We return back to what we actually are and had always been! We come back! Not each one of us can come under the dimension and characteristics of the category of people defined by the word “We” in this article! One out of a thousand people like me and you are a part of this group! Those are the winners! We are the winners!

Life's not about winning and losing! Its about winning in the end, its about winning after losing, its about winning after losing, losing, losing and losing! Its about coming back! Its about realizing that when everything is gone “tomorrow is yet to come”. Its about believing in one's own self in the tough times! Its about collecting the broken pieces when we break and rearranging them in the proper shape or even better then before! Its about falling seven times and rising back the eighth time! :)

EVERY TEAR HAS ITS OWN STORY!!

Beyond every tear is not just pain, but a chain of painful events, perhaps at times... painful memories!Submitting to the faith of tears one can encounter numerous phases in a single cry, starts with a regret and eventually ends at relief! Behind every tear, there is a story that needs to be told, there are words that desires to be heard, there is a voice that someone needs to listen...

Its not just an expression but a monotonic agony, a surrender to life's toughness, may be an admission of one's sins or the regression of our faults! Have you ever thought, how much does a silent tear says?

Crying and moaning can be expressive, but not the tear... it just falls, at the instance of its fall, it says a story! A story that only those eyes know from where it emerges, a story that only heart knows from where it travels to the eyes... a story full of emotions, depicting mostly tragic and rarely happiness in its fall. Yes , every tear says a lot.

Tears reveals the hidden truth of god's glory that pleasure is often a visitant; but pain cling cruelly to us. Yes its rightly said that, For all the happiness mankind can gain... it is not in pleasure, but in rest from pain. At the end of pain, at its very tormenting peak comes the tears... for some, this peak comes pretty soon, for some it comes after a long time, but it surely comes! And in that moment of agony, one needs someone, one needs something , may be a shoulder to hang... may be a helping hand, and unbearable the need becomes, no matter whomsoever you talk to, not matter how so ever you think, there comes a time when you just need to cry... thats where the story of tears starts. Then on... you bleed from eyes, searching for solace and tears narrates the story once again and you listen to it, ashamed, sad and broken... perhaps shattered! Then the story ends, there is a bliss at its epilogue... a sudden encounter with soul, your soul, you!

You,submitting to destiny, closes your eyes... wishing this all could end this very moment! But thats the actual beauty of life... stories never end, they just takes a pause and then continuous till forever, always! Some stories that means the most, some stories where words are not relevant, some stories told, heard, known to/for/by you and just you! Some stories that belongs to every tear of yours, yes! Every tear has a tale... that one can never forget!

WINNING THE ANGER WITHIN YOU!

Have you ever been under regret for something that you said while you were angry? I mean does it happen most of the times when you lose your temper and lands up at hurting someone in a way in which you never meant by heart? Every normal living being will surely lose temper and become angry at some point of time in life! No matter how patient one can be, but its in our hormones to become angry at something or the other and one just can't deny it.

The damage that exchange of harsh words can cause to a relationship is more than any other possible happening, and no matter how tactful one can be but to stay polite and diplomatic in honest anger is simply not possible. Meditation, deep breathing and exhalation diverting techniques are some classy ways to reduce the slang that one can speak while being angry. It also depends on one's overall behavior and the cause of getting angry. Most of the times when my friends and family show anger on me, they eventually lands up few positions of respect below of where they originally were, after the patch up! And when I show anger on friends, I spill poison and use extremely harsh words and lands up on broken friendships most of the times! I know its not just me but a lot of us, who don't suffer from short temper, but rarely when they get angry they show extreme temper! There by I would like to draw forth certain conclusions that I had come across.
Ӂ Never forget these -
l When a human being is angry, his eyes gets closed and his vocal chords gets excessively and unnecessarily opened up.
l The actual meaning of being angry on someone is to give the punishment of his mistaken deeds to one's own self.
l Anger always starts with foolishness and ends at regret.
l Whatever you say in anger turns opposite on you and comes back to you surely at some point of time in the end.
l A person is not tired in a full day of work, the way he gets in a single hour of being in anger.
l A person becomes deaf as an ocean and furiously blind as fire when he is angry.
l Anger throws wit, tact and manners out of the door and locks it till one becomes stable again.

When one is extremely angry at something, one should practice silence! Absence of speech is the true voice of the god within you when you are in anger, its the superior most language in such a state. In cases when you ought to speak then speak as less as possible; Where one word is enough, avoid using two.
Win anger by love; vice by virtue; greed by charity and dishonesty by truth!

WAIT FOR YOUR NEXT SHOT! MISSED OPPORTUNITY IS NOT THE END!

life is too short to spend time in grief for the opportunities that you miss, for the goals that you fail to score, for the sixes that you miss hitting at the right moment. This is a bigger game than what you think it to be.

Have you ever seen a football match, the striker while running with the ball towards the goal post is simultaneously concentrating on his ball possession, the defenders approaching him or running with him and has one eye on where the goalkeeper is placed, he has to finish the ball in the back of the net and hence he too has to keep in mind the directions in accordance with the corners of the goal post. He runs and sweats, he kicks the ball with utmost accuracy that he can but not always he scores a goal, at times he gets the shot saved by goalkeeper and many times he misses the goal totally with a poor direction kick! This is it! Shot is missed! What happens next? He stops! NO! He makes a “what the hell!” expression on his face, then watches the ball again and runs back towards the center of field with even greater effort. Back to the wait for the same run again. Again waiting for his next shot!

This is how life is! The winners always focus on the very next opportunity coming their ways while losers spend ages talking about where they missed it! Regretting and crying! I just want to ask how worth is it? I mean you scored a zero in a cricket innings, there is always a next match! You fail in an examination, then too you will give some other one, some other time, the game is not over, you still have your next shot awaiting. It is how you approach towards your next shot that makes a difference.

One can say that i am foolishly optimistic but i guess somewhere down the line Japanese too would have thought that way after the atomic bomb blasts to make a tremendous comeback. One can never be a loser or a winner in eternity, winning is nothing but actually the habit of staying focused at every next shot of yours, and losing is mostly missing the first shot and then due to its sadness, missing the remaining ones that follow.

Patience is the name of the game! If its summers, winters are not behind. After every day there is a night. You missed your train, some other will follow. You dropped a catch, there will be another one in the air soon. You forgot to do something, do it punctually the next time. All winners learn from their own mistakes, they always make the next shot right even if they miss the previous one! They very well know that after you think everything is over, tomorrow is yet to come! Hit the bull's eye this time! This is your shot!

THE PERFECTIONS IN AN IMPERFECT LIFE!

There is a host of people that would say that life has not turned out to be the way they had planned it to be. They had never imagined it to be much more closer to hell than it is to heaven. Approximately 7 out of every 10 thinks this way, unfortunately i am one of them. There were dreams that never got fulfilled, happinesses that never came to us when we expected them the most, unpredictable failures, destiny's tricks when you at times have crossed all counts of your hardworking nights yet you haven't got success which you always striven for. Are you the most unhappy soul on the planet? Are things actually that worst? Will you never ever get the same happinesses again that perhaps you have lost somewhere down the line?

Sitting back and analyzing the times gone by can make you feel that it will never be the same, life was perhaps been better in the past and its more than worst in the time passing by. But wait a minute, have you ever been to a hospital lately? No! Then perhaps its time for you to plan a visit there and see the people crying in grief cos of the departure of a loved one, its perhaps time for you to visit an old age home where 60-70's old age people are starving for a drop of love, perhaps its time for you to visit an orphanage center where you would see tender innocence growing too quickly into bitter realities of life, perhaps its time for you to visit the home of someone who has just lost its only child in a bomb blast when he had no political agendas attached to his daily working life but got thrashed into 100 pieces by a bomb planted nearby, visit the home of someone who has just gone through greatest shocks of life, perhaps a sports person who has just become handicapped in an accident where he suffered due to carelessness of the approaching vehicle. By doing so you would feel how much selfish you had been in asking from almighty a better life, how much stupid you had been in ex aggregating your minor problems at times of a failure in an exam or a broken relationship, wasting your precious tears and foolishly not taking lessons from the mistakes committed by you and only you.

Nobody ever said that life will be easy, nobody ever said that its a piece of cake to achieve what you want from life, all that was known was that it will have a great deal of emotions and feelings and places and problems and cherishing moments and tears and everything else to offer, and it certainly have done that. Winning every battle is not a necessity to win a war, analyze life in all its bitter moments and you would realize that it haven't been that bad lately and you had not been the poorest soul on earth!

Its been a while and i still remember that the basic rule of life had been “winners never quit and quitters never win”, enjoyment of a challenging life is the best way to live it!

So the very next time when you curse life for losing your girlfriend or boyfriend or for not getting selected in a reality show audition or for not getting the highest marks in the test then please check yourself cos you have totally misjudged the extent of its adversities and had been a fool in your approach towards it! Yes, harsh but true if someone would ever ask me to narrate the meaning of life then i would say “Life is to Move on, Life is to expect less and give more, Life is to smile when every other individual around you would have shed tears in the same place, Life is to love and to love yourself, Life is to be patient towards yourself, Life is to accept defeat but not accept oneself as a loser, Life is to understand all these things and ultimately Life is to see the perfections in imperfections”

NEVER LOSE YOUR UNIQUENESS

Power of USP!

Do u know what a USP is? The full form of USP is unique selling point. It is something that is within us and is not present in anyone else. Sometimes we are able to notice it and most of the times we miss it. You are what you are, be it make or female, tall or short heighten, dark or fair, anything and everything within you is your USP. A person can fail in an exam, can get rejection in love or even fail in great tasks of life, yet that person remains unique. There is something in him or her that is not just missing in others but will never be in them. That is what makes him or her an individual.

Sadly most of us chase life rather than waiting for favorable events to occur to us. We question ourselves for our failures rather than learning from where we go wrong. We follow the trend, our choices is rather the trend of the time. I ask why? People can laugh at your hair cut, your physical built or your academic or professional performance but there is something that you must never forget thats the USP! Something in you that will never be in anyone else. The right way of spelling a word, the wrong way of pronouncing something, the great singing ability, the worst singing voice or be it anything positive or negative, there are a few characteristics in you that defines you. All those manners and ways are your signature, your style, your own charisma, your own mark. Leave your own mark on things and people you come across rather than being marked by them.

I mean its good to adopt positives from things and people around us but chasing things must have a line. Most of us lose our USP's! in the teenage where we are drawn to new exposures and in the name of coolness or non coolness or anything else we become something else, a great advantage within us which might have been our edge in winning life is sadly lost at that point. Let not yourself be a chaser of brands,trends and names in life , be a brand, be a trend, be a name.
