TO THE SONGS UNHEARD AND HEARD!!

-


Sitting at the window seat, looking out at the sky with your headphones on and listening to your “upbeat-yeah- I-call-it-mine” song, jamming like you’re already in a concert and then it hits you all of a sudden, the song is playing in the background but your thoughts cloud your mind, there you find yourself stuck in the moment, thinking, once again about every other time you ignored this feeling unknowingly.



But now you sit there, with these thought running around your mind. You fade into your own silence and come back to reality within a second but you find yourself lost, you hear the lyrics all over again, a bit more clearly and louder than before, the phase just passed and now you’re back to reality, everything is normal and everything is calm, but not composed.



There you start wondering, whether the lyrics you hear define you?

Sometimes when you’re lost you try to find yourself in the lyrics of the songs or in the poems you read, and sometimes you do. 

And in that moment you’ll know what you really want, some of us wants to leave, some wants to fly away in a world where they can dream, some wants to escape the reality and a find a shelter in their dreams, and some just want to live this life a little less ordinary.



Maybe, you’ll sit again on this exact seat tomorrow or day after tomorrow, or maybe another week, or any other day, maybe you’ll have the same thoughts once again, maybe you’ll know what you really want just for a split second before the voices outside numb the ones inside your heads, maybe you will want to sit again here again and again just for once to realize who you are and try to find yourself once again in another song or maybe in another character of the boo you hold.


You’ll look at the sky once again, over and over again and try to dream, try to see the safe heaven hidden in those clouds your eyes follow, maybe you’ll find yourself once again, in those clouds or in the lyrics or maybe in the moment.

TWO LIVES IN ONE

“Do you read often?”   The little kid asked me, looking at me as if asking for an answer in the most poetic yet simple manner. “I do, when I need to escape the reality.” “Now what is that supposed to mean, why would you like to escape the reality when it’s all you have?” *****                                                                                                There is a war going on, the one which we fight with ourselves and the one where the heart and mind are  cursed to exist together in the same being. “Oh! What would I give to feel and not to think” and  “Maybe I  would silence the beating of this erratic thunder going on inside me that clouds my thoughts” “kisse chupaye ghumta hai tu khud ko, khwaabon ko sath liye apne man ko peeche chorde, kyu bhag rha h kisse bhag rha hai tu” 'There was a horrible, erratic thumping in  my  chest, as if a large  bird  was trapped  inside my  ribcage and  beating  itself to death.&#

 There is a very ordinary word in the English dictionary that holds a truly inspiring meaning to it. “Perseverance” In Simple terms, it means: “ Continued effort to do or achieve something, even when this is difficult or takes a long time ” These simple words as defined by the Cambridge dictionary may seem ordinary to one but they hold an infinite pool of motivation for someone who never stops trying even in the face of adversity, failure, or delay. Perseverance isn't just a quality; it's a mindset that propels us forward through challenges, setbacks, and uncertainties. It's about staying committed to our goals, even when the path gets tough. You know the saying right?  Things are going to be difficult.  But you, You are going to be difficult-er  XD Be a problem to your problems, mark your territory!! Well, to be honest, you may not have heard of this saying cause I just made it up! LOL!                          As we navigate our careers, we encounter obstacles

“khud ki talash mei khud ko hi kho rahe hai hum” #lost myself along the way to discover who I am “You broke your promise” My 10 year old self screams at me. I stand still, looking into her eyes that twinkle with hopes and dreams, a new dream every day, a new hope, a new goal, a new promise to self, a new moment worth remembering, within a second I see all of myself that I left behind a long time ago. Today when I look back, I realize I left a part of me that I never realized I ever had. “ Into the starry night, I gaze into infinity, wishing upon a falling star, will it fulfill my wishes or pass by like any other dead star” I have gazed into infinity, talked to an unknown body that doesn’t exist but seems to grant wishes, maybe the hope of finding myself, the old me who dreamt with eyes wide open kept me going, to search a little deeper, to look into the unknown, to wish upon a dying star. But today I stand here, on the verge of tomorr
