LIFE.... Smile always....

After all the turmoil and hiccups in life
I had fully settled don’t know if it was still called life?
Lived every day to its fullest
Laughed , giggled and made most of the time

One fine day LIFE walked in
Changed the way I lived life as in
Spending time became the mantra of life
Was wondering till now did I have a life?

Waiting from morning to evening
Time was moving so slowly and I was wondering
When time was less to do work and always asked for extensions
How did I manage time with life every day be it day or night

My call bills and sms shot up
Sometimes blank sms said so much
A smily or a giggle made my day
Was wondering did I have a life till date?

Something went wrong somewhere
People around create more mess and stress
Spoiling someone’s relation is the easiest thing to do
but did they get what they wanted to?

I miss my LIFE so much
I always hope it is smiling and happy
Life yells at me sometimes
I still smile and say it’s a misunderstanding which will resolve one day

Don’t know when the day will come
I hope life will understand me someday
Realising that what happened was because of someone
Who actually wanted to create scenes just for fun

God only knows who stole my share of sms’s
Wiping my tear and telling god you enjoy playing this life and death game so much
I am back to square one
Trying to fully settle don’t know if it is still called LIFE

Objectives

We go to a restaurant. We are presented a feedback form. We visit a webpage. We are encouraged to post our comments about it. We listen to a song and we can rate that song and express our views on it. We watch a serial and our opinions are presented as a valuable tool to make a difference in the participant’s life.

Unknowingly, it has become our need to give a feedback (good or bad) on things, people and events. We have made it the major shareholder of the mind, emotions and intelligence.

We can no more enjoy a flower for it is a flower, now we need to judge its beauty in comparison to the one we saw last. Most of us have lost the ability to simply enjoy a paani puri; we compare it with the one place where we relish the taste. We make sure everyone present hears our expert opinion. As much as we have developed a craving to give a feedback, we have also become over sensitive to the opinion of others.

Now our confidence level depends largely on others around us. We just need to overhear a negative comment about us, and we crumble down or we get angry and decide to prove a point.

Our peace, our happiness largely depends on what others do to us and say about us. Even worst, the decisions of our life depend on that
In this huge complex web of opinions, what keeps us stable, focussed, and cantered is the awareness of our Objectives.

When we are clear about our objectives, honest feedbacks help us to grow; baseless comments or bad behaviour does not affect us much. Setbacks do not stop us.

Negative comments, beliefs and behaviour have a bearing on us but POSITIVELY for we are clear about our objectives. Our excitement and enthusiasm is no more at the mercy of others. We are strong because focus is on our objectives.

You plan to go on a drive with your loved ones because you want to be with them. The plan changes and it is decided to go for a dinner. When you remember the objective was not the drive but time with your loved one, the dinner is enjoyed to the hilt. Otherwise, there will be sadness in the air even if the dinner is brilliantly tasty. When my objective is to inspire my loved ones, I do not indulge in activities that will give opposite results.

When my objective is to be in the right company to have a meaningful life, I have to drop a few relationships that pull me emotionally and socially down even when it means I am out of ‘the group’.

When my objective is to have good health, nothing in the world can push me towards an unhealthy lifestyle even when people are sarcastic.

When my objective is to be peaceful, I do not nurture painful memories, but, focus on the learnings from those experiences and live a wiser life.

When I am clear about the objective of my life, decision-making no more remains challenging. Even the biggest of decisions are easy to take.

Wise people have said, ‘When our eyes are on the sun, we can no longer see the shadow’. When my objectives are clear I no more blame, complain or give excuses when faced with failures / obstacles.

MY LIFE

I get up and think today is the day,
something will go my way
Soon the day ends
And I realize I am back to where I had begun

Many things have happened in recent past
which are very close to my heart
I wish the dream comes true
and I have a smiling face like all others do

But I guess god realised that I am bold and strong
Who can take all the pain and still go on
I try not to but sometime the tears touch my cheeks
I say to god “Don’t do this please”

He smiles at me and said
you always said “You are an angel”
Angels don’t have feelings
I say God I lied but please give me back “ MY LIFE”

WAITING FOR SMILE....

I cry when alone,
I cry when with people,
No one sees the tears
As it is far within

I miss small joys in life
Which others find it so easily
Today life is at a junction
Where nothing seems fine

Life taught me so many things
Had not thought it would be so unkind
Where every day is living on edge
With no clarity whatsoever to begin with

Hoping that things would be good
still hoping that it happens very soon
The kid in me is dying every passing day
I smile each time hoping the tear says to me " Bye Bye"
