Why Do I Run?

Last time as far as I can remember, I ran 2 kilometers straight. It has become a ritual for me to clear the thoughts out of my head,to set the heart pumping,to let myself know my breath again. But Why Running? I could have gone to the gym, could have a done a ton of exercises with no regrets and back desperately looking for miraculous changes.It’s funny i won’t and even funnier I can’t. It has always given me chills to raise the bar for myself. But I have other ways of raising it. As I run different laps,with each one consuming my breath,wanting to choke me down within, i realise defeating oneself is tougher than anything else.

Today,I sat to write,but couldn’t fathom a prompt.Words fail me sometimes. I seeked isolation,I wanted to clear my mind, I put up my running shoes,earphones and went out to run. But this time I set the bar for myself to 2.30 km. With Eminem pumping me with “Kings Never Die”, I try my best to run or I should better say outrun myself. I ran till I gasped for breath,my stomach ached,my legs hurted.Somewhere in between I wanted to quit, i wanted to skip it to another day, my gut told me to rest a while. But then it pondered to me to complete what i began, it is always easy to quit. To tell yourself you can’t. When World full of people ready to bring me down,ready to tear me with acquisitions of me being no better,no different from a flurry of people around. I decided to not to stop till I hear,” 2:30 Km completed“.I wandered my thoughts to what I should write today, I had enough of poems for you all. I decided to let the chaos burn inside and I did. There is always a sheer exhilaration in doing things you felt you could never do, In achieving what you always wanted in first place. I now have clear mind as to what to write. A Voice inside me telling 2.5 km next time? Sure I would Try. So try running, why not one day you realise that somewhere deep inside, you always can outplay your abilities to the best.

You can always defeat you past,if you push yourself from “I will” to “I can”.

Ice cubes

Ice cube and water drops on the wet background

What if we were ice cubes,
floating in a bowl of life,
some drift to the edge ,
some drift to the right,
all waiting to melt,
some untimely day,
life would be felt,
as we disappear,
and become a part of it,
to let others float,
in a colder place,
better for others and
more of life.

Glass

wpid-274_custom-efa872e7a347073668fff56c4d203299f9417425-s6-c30

Every time I see the mirror,
I see a contrast of images,

I sometimes see,
a kid wandering in the world,
lost in thoughts,
willing to paint the world,
in canvas of words.

And sometimes,
a writer struggling for words,
to paint the world,
in canvas of never seen words,

But the glass,
is a deceiving perception,
it makes us see,
Either
What we don’t have,
or what we need,
never it shows,
the real me.

Darkness

dark-darkness-girl-light-lost-Favim.com-118417
I have seen the bright,
I have seen the glories,
they all tell me a lovely story,
how easy it is to see the light
even in the darkest times,
but not the darkness even in the brightest,
enough of your love,
I had till now,
show me your darkness,
show me your wounds,
show me the pain,
show me the worry,
I will kiss them away without any hurry.
and tell you something again and again,
that  your darkness in heart will never go in vain.

Welcome to the Society !!

Welcome you to our society, the society whose customs and thinkings are unparalleled to some extent. I have been living and being told to be amicable to these people on various occasions and this a summary of some of the funny observations I have made of the present society we live in :-

1) Be Accepted or make yourself :-

Your first step towards society is to make yourself acceptable towards society no matter what you have to do, they got Ferrari’s, no problem you need to buy the Lamborghini’s. They celebrating Labours day, you need to celebrate to. They sending their child to Harvard, why can’t your child go?

2) Passion is accountable, untill it pays :-

Passion is something drives you throughout the day, I have seen painters,writers,sculptures, waking everyday to new ideas and working towards the ways to achieve it. But in the end you should try to follow it untill and unless it has potential to drive and sustain your present/future family. It’s similar to using  the inner fire to light the woods to make food for the entire family.Funny isn’t it?

3) Love? Why not? Untill the family loves her.. :-

The ultimate blow comes when you have to make each and everyone in the house to convince the person you want to spend your life with is perfect for each and everyone living member which might include your pets. Secondly even all the so so distant member of her family should be acceptable.

4) Risk is a Child’s play, you are not a child anymore :-

Having Risk is a straight no-no, the unsaid holy laws of acceptance of society prevents you to do so,it doesn’t matter if it includes starting your business or to decide the new restaurant you want to try this weekend.

5) You Talkback, I double Talkback you :-

You are not at all required to talkback to your elders on any matter anyhow. Why? The holy unsaid laws of the society prohibits you to do so. Whether you are right or not, you should not end up opening your mouth and being a heretic for breaking of this holy law .

6) School/College is the Future :-

No matter you like it there or not,no matter you learn something or not,no matter the pet eats your homework or not, you need to aimlessly devote your life there in  hope of an unwanted,misguided future that would support your family extinguishing the flames of passion in you.

These funny instances sometime lighten me , me thinking as to whether this was funny for me or is it same for all of you? Would love to hear you all..Comment your views.

Voice Seeking Heaven.

Euthanasia or Mercy Killing is a highly debated issue,with people willing to die because they can't bear the excruciating sad life with no hopes left for better tomorrow.

Between the battles of life,
and triumphs of battles,
layed a voice so idle,
with no strength left,
no hopes for a miracle,
eyes wander as far as it can,
with bafflement unbearable,
armchair carries the body,
but soul refuses to stay,
in the confinement,
that is at rest since ages,
the purpose has been lost ,
and the hope is decaying,
it seems the bird flew close to the sun,
and got a great burning,

everyday the eyes try to see the stars,
wants to find the faults,
that made all stop,
eyes still,
looks for the star,
that is the destined one,
where the soul would rest,
once free,
not all souls seek an early heaven,
not all want to be free soon,
it is the scars that one can’t live with,
that makes destiny rot into memories,
death is not a fear now,
but a friend embracing arms,
that would let voice seek heaven,
and questions unanswered.
