While I was complainig

While I was complaining 
about the cleanliness of the water park in my city
some one was working hard 
to work on a water conservation project
so that the villages going through drought
can get drinking water without having to walk miles

While I was complaining 
about the taste of dessert on my lunch buffet
some one was working hard
to start the concept of food bank in their city
so that no kid in the nearby village
goes to sleep without having anything to eat

While I was complaining
about the corrupt politicians and weak police force
some one was working hard
at the border without thinking about their lives
so that the whole country can get 
a good night's sleep

While I was complaining 
about the polluted air and water in my city
some one was working hard
to plant that tree
so that my kids and grand kids
can breath the air freely

While I was complaining
about having to go to my air conditioned office
in spite of having the seasonal cold
some one was working hard
to climb the mount Everest
in spite of not having their right leg. 

While I was complaining
about how the world has no good people now
some one was working hard
every day and every hour
so that this world
can be a better place to live

While I was complaining
and blaming God for all my miseries
some one was working hard
and taking charge of the situation
so that things can look different

While I was busy doubting and worrying
some one was busy hoping and believing
so that all new kids can be inspired one day.

At times she got sad though because her mom seemed distant and busy in her own world. The girl understood that mom had her own problems to deal with and brother had to go his way to pursue his life's dreams and ambitions. The girl many times felt lonely, but she knew that she was loved by her family.  She soon found solace in friendship. She found many friends and a whole new world of opportunities to explore. As a teenager, she found her best friend. He was funny, always cared for her and loved her as if he was her brother. She felt happiness and a sense of belonging with him. They shared the deepest secrets, happiest moments and worst times together. She was surprised when he started feeling distant when he found his girlfriend. The teenager was happy for her friend but felt alone ...

Always Ask Questions

            I will always be grateful to my teacher For the advice that changed my life He told me to always ask questions for questions are rare and empty solutions are rife.   A question opens a door To limitless possibilities Possibility to understand and answer all the longings.   Without a question The teacher is not challenged Without a question A student will not be engaged   Asking a question Will resolve deep mysteries Who am I and what the world is about which has been existing since centuries.   What is my purpose Why do I exist The answer lies in a question If you really persist.   Try asking how I can help Instead of complaining To your surprise The answer might be fulfilling.   Do not forget to ask what the lesson is.

And at the end I am yours

Where all the conflicts end And the duality dissolves  Where all the noise calms down The chaos rests in peace  At that serene place I am yours. All my demands sink  in the depth of your eyes All my complaints Disappear In the curves of your smile All my anxiety melts  In the embrace of your arms All my questions are silenced  When our lips are locked Good or bad  Nothing seems to matter Right or wrong  The questions do not bother Where my material identity ends It blends in yours At that beautiful place  I am all yours.
