Freedom

I saw people chasing after goals

new goals after meeting old ones

never satisfied with their accomplishments

stuck between nine to five office timings

waiting for the jail break of weekend

I thought this is not freedom. 


Then I saw birds flying so high

soaring in the sky with wings wide open

I wonder is this the freedom? 


Then I saw the birds constantly looking down

looking for the food

worrying about predators

stuck in their nine to five "office work"

just like humans trying to fly over weekends

I thought this is not freedom


Then I saw little kids

listening to their parents

going to the school nine to five

following all the rules there

working on their tests

learning life hard ways

Though, I saw them laughing

happy with their little world

running, falling, crying and laughing

doing everything to its fullest

they had many restrictions if you see broadly

but they never cared about what tomorrow will look like

and I knew what is freedom!

A lesson of a woman who is no one

 As a little girl, she always looked for a companion and safety in her family. She was very close to her mother and brother. They also loved her a lot and reciprocated all the feelings she showed. At times she got sad though because her mom seemed distant and busy in her own world.

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. When in a situation happy or sad An answer will teach a lesson The difficulties are not all bad.   Where is my attention? ...

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.
