THE FADING TRAIL

THE FADING TRAIL

In today’s world where everybody is advancing with light year speed somewhere down the line one can find the traditions, religion, buried alive. The ritual that are now R.I.P were lifestyle defining virtues of an individual, a provider of distinct individuality, a veil of protectiveness, a discrimination of good and bad….

Virtues calls for renouncement of worldly pleasures on the contrary people are renouncing their basic identity. The customs can go for a life time exile , now a days no one is bothered !!
Guys let just pack because the countryside trail is loosing its worth.
IT’S FADING TO BECOME A HISTORY !!



Good morning replaced by wake up alarms
Kicking your bed spread raising your arm…

The clock strikes 7:00 and it kicks your head
Running off for your errands mouth stuffed with bread…

Returns home the tired dodo
After performing his work in solo…

Sitting at the dinner table everybody is “busy”
Kids with mobiles, mom with curry, dad with T.V. …

No family time no mutual talk
Everything apart from nuisance can take a walk…

Are they helpless or the time ??
Loosing worth are the prime…

Advancing technology is on high
Hence people turn deaf when other sigh…

No one is spared of this pre occupation
From womb to tomb every place has become its destination…

Keeping up with the lightening pace
Everybody wanting to win the race…

In the end relations loose their purity
Aspiring psychologists you have got strong job security…

Endangered are not only the animal species but also we
Ignorant of the flowering plants we are reaping weeds… !!!

TIME FLIES MAN CRIES !!!!

TIME FLIES
MAN CRIES !!!!

Returning home is a great feeling….
But as I was browsing through my childhood photos a thought struck me which goes as follows….


Browsing through the photos I wonder…
Phase of life with innocence and tender…

Getting things before demand…
And no pending errands…

As the years went by…
Sitting here today I sigh…

For things have turned topsi turve…
And suddenly I notice the oldies with scurvy…

Arey !! what kind of life is this… ???
It gives us hug of joy and pain’s kiss…

As those old ones also had their childhood…
And so will we have our days in wood…

Down the line life cycle would start a new…
For you’ll have to nurture your hybrid product dude !!

Again will come the up’s and down’s…
With the old tune and new beats of same song…

Who knows if we’ll be there to see our grand and great grand kids…
Suddenly there is a hard pat on my back and my mind seizes…

My sister points towards the playing- wake up sid…
And I tell to myself this is how population increases…


Folks don’t get confused…this is complicated expression of simple ides of how population increases…
Just imagine we were toddlers, tomorrow we’ll have toddlers and this will go on and on…
This might look casual in the initial stage… but when earth would start resisting such drastic rise in the human population… its rage would result in devastating consequences…
Hope the issues affecting the environment get resolved and MOTHER EARTH remains the way we got it… such that it can be gifted to our successors… for them to cherish its beauty and nurture it…. !!!

MY CONTEMPORARY SHADES

He said I’m cute
But I said I’m not

<<<>>>

He said I’m pretty
I blushingly said I’m not

<<<>>>>

He said I’m kind-hearted
I pushed him back and said I’m not

<<<>>>

He said I’m understanding
I laughed and said I’m not

<<<>>>

He said I’m adorable
I jolted and politely refused saying I’m not

<<<>>>>

He held my hand and said I’m compassionate
My heart started panting but my brain stern with the answer made me say
I’m not………….

<<<>>>


Finally when it was my turn::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hey I like you
And he said……………… I do not……………………………..

Continued thus he further added:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

We were nothing but friends
And will be together till the end


To which my heart cried:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Where did I go wrong
Why can’t he hear the unsung song

<<<>>>

Now it goes without any say
That amidst joy my aching heart sway

<<<>>>>

Wondering whether I was fast
Stirring my past

Chuck it dude the life has to go on
And for refusing the precious thing will repent the moron…….

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

YOU ARE GOD!

Close your eyes………..it’s dark!!

                        Open your eyes…………it’s still dark :-l

This world is filled with miseries, misfortunes, and, people who are responsible for it. I had only heard about emotional turmoil, until recently when I experienced it myself…. What disappoints me the most is the sufferings of my beloved and that of socially, economically and physically challenged!!!

Look around yourself, observe things, happenings is there anything that can turn your head over heels and trigger your inner voice to say, “GOD IS GREAT; THERE WAS AND WILL NEVER BE SUCH A SITUATION WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO CONFRONT SOMETHING BEYOND YOUR RESISTANCE!!!!!”.

My mind cries loudly responding to this ‘’’’NOPE!!! NOT AT ALL ‘’’’’

It seems I’m standing alone without any support to cross a warpath which is ahead of me surrounded with fire from all sides…. L I’m helpless, disabled, thinking about the fact that though I know the nitty gritty I’m not able to support any cause, relentlessly want to do something but all in vain without any assistance.

My heart summoned my mind which was battling with its contradicting arguments… for a second my mind went blank synonymous to the land after being struck by any natural calamity. Suddenly there was this ray of light that could be seen from everywhere and… this ear soothing voice that in a gentle tone called upon me and said, “DEAR ONE!!IT WAS ME WHO CLOSED YOUR EYES WHEN YOU TRIED OPENING IT, SUCH THAT YOU DON’T SEE ATTROCITIES OF HUMAN AGAINST HUMAN BECAUSE YOU ARE MY CHILD AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO GET TENSED ABOUT THESE THINGSJJ”.

My immature mind which was dumbstruck at the sudden intervention started firing questions as if was some open season (this was bound since I was out of sorts). The conversation begins like this:

***

MIND: That super natural being created heart and filled it with love, such that only love sustains in the universe, and that people exhibits this love explicitly. Why is it that this love is over powered by hatred and anger. Why people turn cruel and just slaughter the neck of forgiveness and compassion. And moreover those who show love are termed as helpless and weak????

VOICE: Sweet heart, you have all the answers within since it is covered with the veil of ego, anger and desires I shall explain you everything. My child when you are in you in your moon walk I walk beside you and when difficulties dawn upon you I carry you on my shoulder… Oh loved one!! god is within everybody… Love is everywhere there is no null point in universe there is no void…. And as you said that the people who love are weak... tell me one thing is your mom weak…a priceless soul made up of love… a being who surpasses the entire shortcoming just to see you happy…???

MIND: (Not even feeling ashamed for have raised such a question it was inquisitively asking dumb questions in series) Whaat??? God is in everybody huh???

VOICE: Yes!! What is it that you pray during your difficult times???

MIND: (Confused at being counter asked) It depends upon the situation!!!

VOICE: Okay J and what about the person who suffice your needs then??

MIND: (Completely baffled) Can you explain your point briefly…..

VOICE: Child listen and understand okay……. when a person desperately needs a support from nowhere gets a call from his/her mom who enquires about his/her well being making that person ecstatic. That mother is none other than god… when a young boy needs money to start his business the father who provides financial assistance is god… when a gal gets lost and isn’t able to trace her way back, the stranger who helps her is none other than god…. In such situations the needs are fulfilled by those people who have got no issues regarding whatever happens to the former… why should they even be bothered…. “THESE HELPING SOULS ARE GOD”…… These Odd bodkins are filled with love, compassion and when their beloved are upset, they are put to task. Why talk about others will you enjoy with your friends if your sibling is sad in spite of the fact that you people fight like cats and dogs??? Will you not voluntarily take initiative to resolve his/her issue…. You will, right… then you also become that godly soul since you offer your shoulder to your brother/sister to place their head are cry their heart out!!! The moment you understand it your queries will be answered…….

***

This gentle voice had done the work of what a slight breeze does to leaves which rustle and sway in its direction. When observed intricately the love, happiness around me was visible without the fog of dullness and miseries…………. I got completely charged…Life Is beautiful and this universe is lovely…….. Let’s try and make this world a better place to live!!!!!!!!

For all those who are reading it don’t fail to recognize the odd bodkins who help you selflessly… and make sure you reciprocate the same!!!

Let peace prevail……………
