Thoughts from this side

Frustrated I feel when they put me down,
As they be thinking that I am but none.
They tell me I am not 'good'
But I know I am better than 'good'.

They come to take credit for what I do,
Though they never come to help what I do.
They seek flowers for all the gold,
But they give me only the cold.

As I Sit by the Window.....

As I sit by the window, 

I realised that my life moves on, 

just like the clock that ticks and the clouds that flow by. 

I realised that some times, 

I am the change I am looking for and that change is some times internal. 

It is something I have to make happen, 

as that change cannot otherwise, occur.

As I sit by the window, 

I realised, there are more things in life to worry about, 

more than the petty issues that do seem the world at the moment. 

I realised that I need to think big, 

and dream big, 

because nothing can stop that. 

I also realised, that whilst dreaming, 

I have to enjoy the present. 

Because, the present it is a lovely gift, 

wrapped in a not-so-good-looking wrapping paper at times, 

that I just have to deal with.

As I sit by the window, 

I realised, that the days will change and the moments too, 

just like the sun that passes behind a fluffy cloud, 

or the rain clouds that comes in. 

I realised that whether my days be rainy or sunny, 

I have to walk on, as life is not going to sit around waiting for me, 

but I have to keep abreast of life. 

I, and only I have the power to control my life.

As I sit by the window, 

I realised that I can fly, just like the birds outside. 

As I am not shackled in my imagination and thoughts. 

Even though I may be restricted in some ways,

I realised that I have the power to overcome those obstacles and give myself wings to fly. 

I realised, it only takes a moment to see this.

As I sit by the window, 

I realised I am my greatest friend, 

and that I need to help myself grow from strength to strength, 

because if I do not help myself, no one will be able to do so. 

I realised I am my greatest source of happiness, 

as others will walk in and out of this home called life, 

but I will always remain with me.

A Month's Memories

Are you pissed with me,
Coz you're not who you used to be.
What have I done,
Coz you are no more fun.


I miss talking to you throughout the day,
And listening to what you have to say.
I like your impatience and your immaturity,
Coz I know that's your idiosyncrasy.


I like how you wrinkle your face,
It be like a rabbit face.
Your eyes do twinkle with humour,
Which only proves I will have to take out my armour.


This was written sometime back. At the time, I thought it was badly written; now I feel otherwise. So, here I am sharing it. 

Friends. Those Angels in Disguise

I have heard people complain that they don't have good friends. I think one has to be real lucky to have a good friend. In my case, I think I am really blessed, because I have them in abundance. And I wouldn't trade a single one of them, as they all work their magic on me. 

It's not that easy to find a good friend. I have come across people who say they are pure, but end up being darker than coal. 

I am known to be chirpy. It's a character trait that has decided to come out from the darker more morose person I used to be several years back. However, when I do  have a bad day, I know I am not alone. I have my own group of cheer leaders, who do exactly that, cheer me up! If not for them, I don't know what my moods would do to me. 

I know I can't fool them. Be it with a fake smile to cover the sadness that lingers beneath or a fake laugh, pretending to enjoy the jokes around, when I am bleeding within. Sometimes, even without seeing me my friends are sure to read me. They will understand my monosyllabic language, sometimes, surprising even myself. 

I guess this is my way of thanking them, the little angels in my life, that help me go through life's journey. Holding my hand when I am scared, hugging me when I am feeling down, being by my side when I need the encouragement and most importantly being there for me, sometimes invisible to me. But, being there for sure. Always.

So thank you my angels for being there and encouraging me, every step of the way. 

You should know you're loved and appreciated! :)
