#480 Rain and You

                                                         Rain and You 


Sparkling rain drops 

Tickling over soil 

Soul healing petrichor

Enchanting greenery

Contemplating past

Golden old carefree days

Rainy day as a holiday

Amusing pitter-patter 

Raincoats with wet shoes

Shiny sunrays, prism hues

Captivating rainbows

Dancing peacocks

With eye-catching feathers

Bright little ladybirds crawling

Mind composing songs

Gone are those days

where gadgets were less

With more happiness

Not a slave of technology

To enjoy the beauty of nature.


A hand stretches with 

An umbrella for me

I look up, coming out of 

Old nostalgic memory lane

It's you, want to enjoy

Ecastacy of rain

A kid in me, enlightened

To experience drops of rain.

#479 Freedom

                             Freedom

I want to wish every reader of this blog, "a very happy independence day". "Independence" means without depending on anyone. It is a state of being free or without controlled by anyone or any country. 

The result of being independent is acquired through freedom. Freedom is the ability to live one's life according to one's own choices and beliefs, without interference from others. It is a fundamental human right that is essential for individual happiness and fulfillment. Freedom allows people to pursue their dreams, express their creativity, and make their own decisions about their lives.

This poem is dedicated to all the things that "Today, I wish" which can be the manifestation of freedom.




I wish, I were a bird flying very high
Flapping wings to touch the sky.
I wish, I were a candle that illuminates
The prevalent darkness.
I wish, I were a incense stick
Spreading aroma that sense can pick.
I wish, I were a mountain
That stands rigid, tall and vibrant.
I wish, I were a river flowing anonymously
Giving life to a large vegetation instantly
I wish I were a flute, my melody of music
Percolates souls of every music maniac
I wish, I were a beautiful flower
Surrender myself for the devotional hours
I wish, I were a national anthem
That citizens hum with a rhythm.
I wish, I were a book
That binds the readers to its look
I wish, I were a bell
Chiming and awakening dead cells
I wish, I were a dove
Spreading peace across the globe

Every animate and inanimate store
Within an exceptional spark of glow
Recognizing the worth of oneself
Is the quintessence of being raw.

#478 What if the parallel universe existed?

 What if the parallel universe existed?


It is said that the darkest hours generate the brightest ideas. So, here I am with my laptop opened, definitely not in the darkest hours, after a long working day, to pen down my thoughts which I wouldn’t let go. Nothing can be a better alternative to channelize the chaos of my mind than letting thoughts run effortlessly.

Ever wondered if a parallel universe ever existed? By parallel universe, I mean a world where everything that you have had thought for yourself, exists. Imagine yourself as a teenager who has just started daydreaming about events to happen and things to possess. Would you be excited if you got everything in your life that you wished for? Would your demands from life keep increasing or you give yourself some time to absorb the grandeur of the moment which has given you everything?

As you start growing up as a teenager, reality starts to make you realize its presence by not fulfilling your every desire and taking you out of your imagination. There can be two ways to realize the reality. One, by ruling out the concept of a parallel universe, thereby accepting reality the way it is. Thereby leaving no room for any anguish or resentment. Two, by imagining the occurrence of favorable events in the parallel universe and living in the bliss of the moment. Does this lift up your soul instantaneously or worsen your ability to return to the real world? If the answer is yes, then the parallel universe surely exists for you.

बदलाव है ज़रूरी 

ज़िन्दगी के हर पड़ाव में

कैसे है आगे बढ़ना 

सिखाता है बदलाव |

बड़ा लम्बा है सफर

हर तरफ है कठिनाई

क्या कोई एक बार ही

पार कर सकता है तूफ़ान को?

बदलते हुए ऋतुओं में

ढल सकता है खुदको

समझौता कर सकता है

हर परिस्थिति में ?

ये सिर्फ और सिर्फ संभव है

बदलाव में |

खुदको बदलें में

हर मुश्किल को सामना करने में

चुनौतियों को स्वीकार करने में

और आगे प्रयास करने में |

न जाने कितने युवायें

फसें हैं अपने ज़िद में

खुद को अड़े रहने की ज़िद में

खुद को न बदल ने की ज़िद में |

अंत में चला जाता है

कीमती समय और उसके बोल

रह जाता है पश्चात्ताप | 

बदलना है निश्चय ही 

समय चक्र के साथ

निरंतर प्रयास से

ताकि बढ़ते रहे आगे

अपनी आकांक्षायों की ओर |
