Escape

I'm planning an Escape!
An Escape where sunsets and sunrises are spectacular.
An Escape where life has a slow pace.
An Escape into a different era ,
An Escape where I can hear the rustle of the leaves,
An Escape to a beach where I can sip champagne,
Or to a village, sitting by the window pane.
A cup of coffee and a romantic walk in the rain.
An Escape to my childhood, 
Sitting on a swing.
An Escape into the future.
An Escape from this need to escape.

Capture with your eyes

They say every picture tells a story.
Well, I can see a lot of these stories around me.
The billion selfies tell a story of self obsession, of loneliness, of vanity.
In the past the camera catered to capturing moments, but today those moments are lost.
We are so busy taking pictures for admiration, we forget what we are losing out on.
Your friend sitting next to you just got dumped, SO? So what ? Butfirstletmetakeaselfie! 
Your parents want to talk to you! But picture! 
Who is this illusion for? 
For social media,which changes so radically! 
For those few likes? 
For those who admire you? But do they know the hollowness they admire?
Start taking pictures from your eyes, and capture those moments so well that the flashes never fade.
Make memories, not pictures!


You for you

As you look at your father lovingly , hers' violated her.
As your mother feeds you, his sold him.
As your brother protects you, hers' killed her.
As you husband respects you, hers' humiliated her.
As your sister cares for you, hers' forced her into prostitution.
She got pushed, deeper and deeper, waiting to be rescued, waiting for help to come.
When no help came, she gave up hope.
And then she fought,she struggled and survived.
The days for knights in shining armours are gone.
Today it's just You for YOU! 
Help yourself, empower yourself.

Closing.

The door was left ajar,
She walked in and then she walked out.
She shouldn't have walked in at all.
Each time she missed him, she walked in.
Each time she walked out , her self respect was a little low. 
She repeated this a few times till she was ashamed.
She realized the need to close the door.
How could she but? 
Was she that strong ?
She gathered all her brokenness, and mustering all her strength she closed this door.
It wasn't an easy task, her insides yelled and pleaded to walk in just once more. 
But this time she just sternly closed the door.
He still dint close his door. 
She wondered sometimes. What if he might knock one day ?

Alone

I have a billion friends.
I have a loving family.
I have inspirational teachers.
Yet, I am alone.
No, I'm not lonely. But yes, I'm alone.
This is my journey. 
Unique and revealing.
The answers of it's toughest questions lie within me.
These mysterious signals, only I can decipher.
It's custom made for me.
The learning is mine ,and so is the suffering.
There might be people who sometimes drop a hint I could use.
But, this travel is for me to make. On my own.
For I am alone and so are you. 
The sooner, you realize this and abandon your itching search for companionship, you will be able to move ahead.
But, you must make this journey alone.

I am the infinite universe

Who am I ? 
Am I  a diligent daughter? 
Am I the passionate lover?
Am I the loyal wife? 
Maybe I am the obedient student.
Or am I the knowledge-hungry seeker? 
Or the curious mountaineer ?
Someone says I am an avid reader!
Im still perplexed, I know not who I am.
What is my aim? 
What is my greater goal? 
In a sudden moment there was a realisation,
The answer becameso clear.
I knew then that;
I am the infinite universe.
There are no boundaries to what I can achieve or what I can be.
For, I'm as significant as the universe and as insignificant as a bacteria! 
Yet, I am infinite.

Dust thou art to dust returnest


His was a simple life , he loved, he gave and he forgave. 
In his private moments he often feared oblivion. 
Will those kids remember my goodness? Will my colleagues remember my help? 
Will anyone miss me after I'm gone? 

When his time on earth was done, many wept over his coffin.
But the coffin was lowered into the ground and covered with earth. 
As time healed wounds, the colleagues forgot him.
The children couldn't recall the uncle who would without fail bring them candies.
Mother Nature,however,did not. 
She had integrated him into the greater system.
Several years later , he was blooming as a flower here , but wait! He was also that tiny sappling popping out of the earth. 
He was everywhere , he would be immortal.
Year after year, parts of him would continue to bloom in different places.
He, who was born from dust had returned to dust. 
In the process Mother Nature had proven wrong his fears and the fears of many of his clan.
