Quote of the day!

Golden words by Martin Luther King,

If you can't fly, run!

If you can't run, walk!

If you can't walk, crawl!

But whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.

Faith..

Sometimes you can't figure out why certain things happen. But there is a reason for everything. When there is a purpose for everything, then why is it not revealed when we wish to know it. Why life always has riddles, why do we at times feel helpless, why? 

You know nothing. But you need to keep going. 

The only thing that keeps me going is the faith.The faith that, it is He, who wants all this to happen. Even the leaf of the tree won't move without His bidding. So, I am happy, because it is He who knows everything & will take care of it.

I simply need to go on........and the rest will be fine.     

Though I have the keys but only He knows, when it will actually unlock.  It is like you have everything but still you have nothing. Dunno what!!!

Silence..

Tears.... my solace, they help me out, it is a sort of catharsis...... they soothe my pain, they heal my wounds....my lone companion.....Naaahhhh!! This isn't me, it can't be me. I just don't want to be!!

Strength is my only  solace, faith my mate......prayers my healers, words are my true companions.

When I fail, I try. When I succeed, I rejoice. When I hurt, I repent. When I love, I  pray.When I trust, I believe. 

But I don't know what should I do, when someone just throws me out,  I don't know. All, I have is silence. When voice echoes you can hear it, but when silence echoes you can feel it. This silence crawls into your thoughts, your mind, your heart, your nerves...........God Forbid! 

Time is the best medicine, it cures almost everything no matter how fatal. But what will remain, what will always follow me is this..........the silence...and all the questions that it blankets....will always keep echoing.

You never know......

People come, people go, in the hustle bustle of life...there are so many things that come and go…..you don’t even realize…..what went, who went, what we only know is who stayed...

There is someone, who when comes in....just comes....never goes, not because you never let him/her go……..but because that someone was just to stay....as if it was destined....and you remain puzzled, amazed ... you gasp…..wonder how marvellous, how intricate the world is!!

You feel, in spite of all the evils, in spite of all the vices,world is still a place which is worth to live in. World is full of betrayals, hatred, but still....you trust, you love…you live!!

Life seems to be a blessing, a gift and you savour it. The way you look at everything changes, altogether a new paradigm, everything is just good, there is nothing that seems bad, everything goes your way….this is how you think....a fairy tale!!!!

But fairy tales aren’t real. Are they? No they aren’t, they are just fantasies. But life isn’t a fantasy, it’s real and so it dawns on you, was this all nothing but just an illusion?

You simply never know…..

Where am I heading.....

I still remember the anxiety, the nervousness ...so vividly as though it was just yesterday.....the night before the first day of my college. I was secretly praying that the night should lengthen its course infinitely so that the sun wouldn’t rise and I wouldn’t go. Foolishness I know!!

 And so began an unforgettable odyssey...of course to my surprise. With each passing day I learnt the nuances of college life. The innocent mischiefs, frivolity of school life were replaced by competition and wickedness here. This was how I perceived it then.

 New faces, new friends, new teachers altogether a new ambience. There was a lot of enthusiasm around, there was a spark in the eyes ....to prove the world what I am....an eagerness to know...a curiosity to find....the unknown.

 Be, it a brisk walk through the corridor or an accidental (later intentional mass bunks!!!) class bunk, there was always a fear….what if the teacher would know, what if someone would ask my name right in the middle of the corridor, what if I would go weak in my knees and fall down...so many what-ifs...these were my constant fears.

 I know all this provokes nothing but laughter. But it was just this way!!

 But I never realized how and when the what-ifs gradually transformed into so-whats. Yes, so what if a miss a class, so what if I score low in a test, big deal if I do not complete lab journal in time...I simply didn’t know how it happened.

 It was probably a time when the so called new college for me had become my college, and the new faces my friends...mind you not just friends...but friends for a lifetime!!!!! I know I am lucky.

I always knew that life is full of surprises. But little did I know these surprises can even be the most wonderful gifts of one's life. It was here in my college; with my friends I realized this.

 But don’t know how time took its toll, like it always takes...

Dunnno how ...the internals, exams, preparation holidays, lab exams, fresher parties, farewell parties, long chats, silliest of silly jokes, those smiles are just about to go away. Everything was wonderful and I used to wonder how can it be so beautiful!!!

 Hey are u thinking... is this the end??.....Nahhhh!!!!   It is indeed a new beginning (a cliché…. but who cares!!).

 Though there won’t be any class lectures now, but each day in the scorching heat of life will be more than a lesson. Though there won’t be anyone by my side to guide, but I will have my mistakes with me to find the path. Though, after a grueling day I won’t find anyone to crack a joke and laugh like a freak....a hearty laugh…

 But, I can always message my friends….talk to them….and I know they would be there for me, like always .I told you, I am lucky!!!

 Hey! but,  what if they wouldn’t care a damn about me...then I would definitely kick each one of them & bring them back to their senses (like how I kick them now!!)...ha-ha...and then we will be fine again...and loads n loads of fun as usual...Inshaallah. 

 So no worries.....CHEERS!!!!!
