No Better Way than to Live Today!!!!

One day we all shall go,

Leave this world and space hollow,

Learn to live here n now,

For tomorrow we don't know,

Shall we be here or not,

Make sure people forget you not,

Do enough good deeds in this life,

You shall be lucky someone would call upon you in strife,                                                  

Everyday you won't get a chance, 

To see it rain and get a chance to dance,

There is no better way to say,

Life is now and here to stay.

Age Free.......

I want to be free,

Free of hate, free of rage,

Free of all the responsibilities that come with age,

I want to be young once more,

Sleep in my cradle once more,

I wish never to age,

Never have emotions such as rage,

I want to love everyone around me,

I want to be free of all the envy,

I want none to suffer because of me,                                        
I want to just be free free free.

When I Was...

It is always said one never realizes what one has till one doesn’t have it no more. We never realize the value of a person till the person is no more. We human beings are strange. We know all of this and yet we never seem to learn or implement any of this. We yet take things for granted, we yet take people for granted and we yet take every relationship for granted.

My grandfather expired 2 days ago. I will never forget those last few moments that I had with him. It was a peaceful death to an eventful life. A life that lasted for 101 years. It is said that when a soul leaves the body it is yet in the environment for 12 days before it takes birth as a new being. The whole family was there when he was ill.

I was thinking to myself and was trying to imagine what my grandfather would have said had he seen everyone after he expired and what would he be telling himself.

“When I was alive I was in my room by myself all day. When I was alive hardly anyone came to see me and talk to me and help me pass time. When I was alive nobody told me they loved me or even expressed themselves to let me know what I meant to them. When I was alive all my complaints seemed like a person tired of life cribbing all the time. When I was alive everyone was busy and had their own lives to lead and never had time to spend with me. When I called on the telephone my loved ones made excuses and used to not talk for long or not even answer for that matter. When I was alive all these things would have meant the world to me at least in the last few years of my wonderful life.

Now I am no more and everyone comes home and spends time in the very room where I felt lonely. My loved ones come now and talk about me when I am no more to listen to them and smile. Everyone seems to have found time from somewhere when they had none when I was alive. Suddenly everyone started to miss me and love me but I aint there to hear or feel that emotion no more. Now that I am no more everyone suddenly understand my value but I aint there to feel good about that fact.

What’s the use of all of this now that I am no more? Why would people not understand how important it is to let one know how much they mean to them? When we are alive and here people take it for granted that we always going to be here and we know how much we are wanted.

I have a question do we really know how much we are wanted? Do we really understand our value without someone telling us so? Don't you ever want to know how much we are loved? Don’t you ever want to hear those words from your loved ones? I wish nothing like this happens to any of us where we also tell ourselves when I was alive.....Lets make sure our loved ones know what they mean to us and how much we love them.

The Child Of God

“Mom I don’t want to go to school”
"Why?" "My tummy is paining". "Don’t give excuses. Get up and go for a shower u are not bunking school". "Mom!!! "Nothing doing".
Remember the excuses we used to make to get out of school and always doing mischief. It’s been so long since we did all of this. Childhood is so incomplete without the mischief and all the silly things to do to get out of chores. Remember when we were children how we used to indulge in role-playing and pretend to be a doctor or an engineer or some fantasy super hero. All those dreams and fantasies that we used to live in. it was the best period in our life when we were whatever we wanted to be and did not let anything discourage us from being in our own imaginary world. Can u imagine a life without a childhood? Can u imagine what would we be like if we never had those moments? Can u imagine having a child and losing him before he even begun understanding what life is? Can u imagine being a parent with the knowledge that their child is going to die and wont be with them for long? Can u for a minute put yourself in that hapless situation where u cant do anything about the inevitable? Do u feel the pain? Do u feel the hurt? We al have our set of dreams for our children and for ourselves. Though at times the dreams end in an abrupt manner. A manner that they would have never even thought of. This is a true story. It is about a boy who expired today. And he was just 7 years old. Yes 7 years old. Can u imagine the agony a parent goes through when they have to hold their own baby in their hands and see them go away and not being able to do anything to reverse the process. The very hands that had once held them and they smiled at them and said their first words today lies in their arms silent forever. Before they were complaining of their kids shouting too much and making too much noise are now dying to hear their kid say something, anything. Dreams can turn into nightmares so quickly it’s unimaginable. U know this boy was suffering from blood cancer and his parents were helpless. It’s a hapless situation to be in when u see your very own baby dying and u can’t do anything about it. What a life to take. Sometimes it makes u believe that god doesn’t really exist. And if he does he is being very cruel. You know we say about how we pay for our sins in this very life; sometimes I wonder what gruesome sins would a 7-year-old boy commit to deserve death. Life had just begun for him. He barely saw life and it was taken away from him. But I must add one thing this boy is lucky to have the parents he did. They are brave and they did everything in their power to make his 7 years the happiest years they could be. They had the courage to sleep every night in the fear of not seeing him awake the next morning. It takes a lot of heart to let someone go and even more heart to know someone is going to go soon and yet keep a smiling face to make him happy. Its commendable and this is the kind of strength a human being is gifted with and yet we don’t really use it. Life isn’t all jolly but what this incident has taught me is that no matter how difficult life gets for u, u have to smile and make everyday count and be the happiest u can be. Life is taken for granted by one and all hopefully this shall change your perception to life the way it has done for me. One life one heart give it all you got.

Parents or God

Do u remember the first steps u took? Do u remember the first time u said something? Do u remember the first time u laughed? Do u remember the beginning of everything? I guess not. But your parents do. They remember everything. They remember all the details.
Parents are like your photo album. They have every moment captured and pictured in their head and heart. U may have forgotten most of the things but they remember everything. It’s strange in a way that we seem to forget the very people who can never forget us.
Our parents must have stayed up nights when we are not feeling well. Even in the smallest of headaches they have been there and taken care of us. Without them we are nothing. They have nurtured us taken care of us and given us everything they could. They have even stayed hungry to make sure that we get enough to eat. We often discount a lot of things and seem to just forget their contribution to our life. When we are infants we want our parents to understand us when we cant speak, we want them to carry us when we cant walk, we want them to feed us when we cant eat by ourselves, we want them to put us to bed when we are scared and so on. When we become teenagers we want them to understand us and move into the modern times with us and be cool and what not. When we join the business we want them to start accepting our methods of working and all. Start making food the way we want it with our likings n all. When we have kids we want them never to scold them and tell them we want to give our kids everything and not struggle the way we have done so. We must have never struggled cause of our very own parents but we yet say that to our very own children. But the time we get old our parents are in heaven or in a very weak state and even at that time you want them to understand you and not give u a tough time and ask you too many questions n all.
I have a question for all of you…. when do we understand our parents? When do we do things for them? When do we do everything they want rather than what we want? When do we understand their viewpoints?
Ask yourself these questions…when we were young they did everything in their power to make us happy and comfortable. How many of us have tried to do that for our parents when they are old? When would u sacrifice something for your parents the way they had done so when u were young?
We worship idols and go to temples and all. But don’t u think god is here in the form of our parents. When do u worship them???????? Don’t look searching for god for he is right here with us in form of our very own parents.
