What Difference A Day Makes..!!!

walking on the edge of life
a desire to live still alive
I wish the time stands still
as they enjoy every minute

a smile they share
as it pains within
a hope of life
inspires them to grin

Ask them what life means
its not yesterday, nor tomorrow
Its in today, they explain
a great truth revealed

Fighting cancer all while
they teach us to live
what difference a day makes
ask them to know the best

Just another day its never
one more day with loved ones
they relish, they celebrate
and wish, one more day please

What difference a day makes
ask those who have none
they live in today
while we are busy
thinking about the future..!!

BRIGHT IDEA..!!!

Playing with colors
Over the canvas of heart
With those little children
Abandoned by loved

Sharing their smile
That’s wide and bright
Divvying our love
To those in need

Teaching them to write
Learning from them to live
Spending a day with them
A sweet bright idea

Lets share a day
To those children
Yearning love
Waiting for us

I promise dear world
Just another day of life
It shall not be
Will be a special one for sure

FREEDOM

“Forever you are free. You can run along the meadows, dance in the rain and do whatever you want” he said to her knowing that she is soon going to leave this world. As he said this, she ran into the green meadows with the balloons he brought in for her enjoying the cool breeze and the colors of nature.

Roughly for the last five years, she has been seeing the same room of the hospital and the same nurses but different patients around. He was with her all time along to let his love live for as long as possible. He loved her to the fullest and so did she. She knew that she in the hands of the best of the doctors in the world.

Everyday she literally saw hell with needles piercing into her nerves, bitter medicine running down her throat. The radiations, the chemotherapy could no longer affect the cancer cells but he never lost hope until today.

Even today he knew she is going to die but how soon was an answerless question. Until today, he did everything he can to take her away from the death bed but the reports said she can’t. Until today, he never had tears and was very strong but today everything changed when she asked him something for the first time.

“
Darling, I want to live like everyone. I want to see the colors of life. I am sick of the whites and greens around. I know I will die soon, but please let me live till I die. Please” she pleaded for which he couldn’t say No to.

O
ne day she shall for sure die. But he let her live today. He let her live everyday until she is dead and he has left a note for all of us to think of.

“My dear world, there are many lives like my angel’s. I know you are going through a bad time. But dear, just let them live their last moments of life to the fullest. Let them live today. As you never know, they may never see tomorrow.”

NUISANCE

Not useful to any
Unknown is the reason
Indians suffer their insanity
So called leaders of
A large and diverse
Nation today known for
Careless politics, hopeless politicians
Ever will my country live

BLUE WATERS...!!!

she enjoyed all her life in the green meadows amidst the cool breezes and the soft melodies. To her life was beautiful as a butterfly and colorful as a rainbow. she enjoyed running with her dad and gardening with her mom. Her parents everything she wanted before she actually asked them.

One day they were on a holiday to a village nearby. while across the roads, she saw him lifelessly lying at the end of the street. She asked her dad to come with her to see what happened to him. Her dad refused and so did her mom. They even stopped her going to him. she refused to stop and walked towards him.

she saw a man almost at the end of his life lying there in dirty torn robes and with no energy to atleast open his eyes.

"Dada what happen?' She asked him resting on her knees and placing her hand on his forehead.
"Water....Water" she murmured.

She took the water bottle she had in her bag and helped him drink. She saw the happiness in his eyes while drinking water. He drank some water and looked at her.

"Can I give some water to my friends also? Please" he asked her.
She silently shook her head and watched him get up and go o the next street where she followed him. She saw many others like him lying there helplessly and the little water was shared between all of them.

Not a single drop was left unused nor was dropped. Then she decided, never in her life that she shall waste water and help everyone in need of it.

She later started started an NGO, BLUE WATERS which was a home of many like him and helped many villages with continous water supply.

KNOCK..KNOCK..!!!

"Abhi why did you ever leave me?? please come back....I cant live in this world without you...I feel so much alone" Kripa cried all the day wishing her Abhi to come back who left her few days back, then she heard a sudden knock in the door.

Abhi and Kripa were happy couple but the happiness didnt last for a long time when Abhi passed away with leukemia. Kripa from that day on, closed herself from the world just living in the memories of Abhi.

Kripa just ignored the knock. But there was a knock again.This time, she couldn't ignore. She opened the door to find a little girl wrapped up with dirt standing her head down, a hat covering her face.

"whom do you want?" Kripa asked trying to be soft as possible.
"I am in search of a shelter Ma'm. Can you please let me in. Will do all the work and need nothing in return, just a shelter" she said. it was the sweetest voice she ever heard.
"I dont need any. try the next door" saying this Kripa shut the door.

**knock knock**

Kripa once again opened the door to find the same girl.

"Please ma'm. If you dont let me in, the monsters will attack once again. Ma'm, I can't take the pain anymore. I want a shelter to hide from the monsters." The girl broke down.

Kripa understood the whole picture and let in the little girl. Also, she thought Abhi sent her this angel to be with her from the Heavens above.

"Dear have some food. you are safe in here. Dont worry, none will hurt you again." Kripa said while handing her a bowl of meal.
"Ma'm Its paining" The girl said revealing her innocent face with tears sliding down.

"Ma'm I need a help. There are many girls like me dieing everyday to live in this world. can you do anything for them. Ma'm you need to do something, 'coz it pains very badly ma'm. We can neither live with the pain, nor have the courage to die."

"Dear, we will together fight for them" Kripa said hugging the little girl and then she decided to fight against child abuse not knowing where to start as she knew the whole world is suffering.

G--GRAVEYARD...!!!


Soul similar to her
she wished to see
a dream all her life
is a doll to give birth too

rhythm of freedom
she tuned all the way
songs of freedom
to give her little baby

daughter she waited for
she knew it was a her
a little doll she dreamt of
all her life, as she grew up

Knot she is tied to
wanted a son as a heir
wanted his soul on earth
not hers, actually never

the stars shimmer
the skies go dark
as he shot her soul
with no love, no respect

her sacred womb
now a bloodied graveyard
immense pain, seeking death
as her soul dies before seeing light

today she is dead
to keep her knot alive
to make a son their heir
she died a song unsung

W--WANDERER..!!!


From door to door
he wanders begging
some answer, some don't
but never leaves hope

He blesses the answered
smiles at those who dont
He is happy with the little
as he earned it himself

He shivers in the cold
burns in the heat
drenches in the rain
but never lost hope

His health deteriorates
his vision almost lost
his life at the end
but he still fights

Wandering door to door
he still waits for the answers
you call him a beggar
i call him a wanderer..!!

Q--QUEST...!!!



All life long
Were busy sharing love
With their little ones
Day in and day out

All life long
Thought only of them
Their career, their life
Leaving back their own life

All life long
They built in confidence
To face life’s every phase
With strength and smile

All life long
They just knew
Giving you love
Showing you care

Now you have thrown them
Away from your world
They are in the quest of love
Of shelter, of life

All life long
You may be happy
But never forget dear friend
There are two souls happier than you

Your parents, whom you left
To the world, to live
But still, they would never leave
Their little child, though you grow old

N--NOSTALGIA...!!!


A perfect place to live
loving people all around
helping each other
for a better life

No problems raised
no killing each other
sharing happiness
with one another

A perfect place
where children play 
where they study
not beg and abused

A perfect place
where elderly loved
taken care of forever
not left off on the roads

A perfect palce
where girls are welcome
seen as precious lives
not as a burden and kill

A perfect place I dream
of my country to be
but the thought
makes me nostalgic

K--KIDS...!!!


The sweet little hearts
jumping and running all over
laughter echo through skies
making the world around a heaven

Young and innocent lives
God's little miracles
sent to brighten our lives
with their smiles and cries

Play is all they do
they are the message form heavens
spreading smiles and joy all around

Child abuse is the war
on these little souls
victims dread to live
crying in pain and fear

Lets stop this war
Love them with all our heart
Make this world a safe place
for them to live and cherish

G--GOVERNMENT..!!!


Gave them power
Only seeking help
Vow did they
Ever to serve us
Rather we thought so
Never did they
Mean the oath
Everlasting problem
Now its high time
That we revolt against them

D--DILEMMA...!!!

Am in a huge dilemma
dilemma about what to do
to help them survive
atleast to take birth

They are left to darkness
not letting see light
the sacred womb
becoming grave yard

The girls unborn
missed the bus of life
they may have created wonders
when given a chance

Am in a huge dilemma
dilemma about what to do
to help them survive
atleast to take birth

HUNGER...!!!



People are dying
of hunger, of thirst
little children now seen
begging on the streets

The tired little souls
sleep hungry at night
never knowing if again
they would see light

Doesn't the regime
have the cognizance
of the dying world?
Will it ever understand?

Lets join hands
to help those little hands
to eat, to study, to play
and definitely not to Beg

CHANGE IN INDIA....!!!

I know its been a long time that i wasnt blogging....but yaar, my schedule is not allowing me to...so please am sorry for being regularly irregular.

But these days i am also irritated with some issues that i am not actually able to write anything new but just now i realized that write the same issues and you will atleast be free from it and here i am writing them.

India is a country with a large percentage of youth population who dream high and want to achieve something big and bring a "change" in the country. They complain all the time about the oldest politicians and the system they are working in. They say they would fight against everything thats going wrong in the country. They speak of Ethics and Values. They possess high energy and one day, leading the country on the global stage. And some of them already proved in doing so.

But there is a section of this youth who just say and dont work. They speak of corruption and unethical behavior but in reality, they dont care how is it gonna affect the country. Corruption in my feeling is not only the fault of the ministers or the higher officials its definitely the fault of us, who get our work done in a short time.

We dont wear a helmet and when a traffic police stops us, we give him 100/- and escape from the legal punishment and later complain that Traffic police stop us just to grab money (this may be true in some cases). why do you give it first. Ask him for the receipt of the money you paid but you never bothered coz' for the receipt you have to pay more.

We complain that India is a dirty country and its all garbage every where. But who is responsible for that garbage? Is anyone from some other country coming to India and throwing the dirt and leaving?? we never bother to throw the wrappers in the Dust Bins. The roads are the public just bins for us. We throw everything and anything on the roads and never bother about it. how do you expect the country to be clean.


You sit in the class rooms and speak about ethical behavior and curse those who are unethical and political in nature. You say its WRONG and that we have to fight against it. Also, you say in our country, when a rule is made, its never followed. but have you ever thought that its is us who have to follow the rules and it is us who violate them???

And the most worst thing is that when someone says that what you are doing is wrong, you try to lecture them that only you doing it wouldn't effect the whole country and you try to convince them on it. Also, the most worst thing about this is that you defend yourself that its not wrong though you know that IT IS.

This is not just the fault the young India, but this is also the fault of the parents who teach their children not to do anything wrong and to fight against everything that's wrong. But when the children grow up and actually start fighting against something wrong, they are the first ones to stop them. They say " Beta Duniya aise hi hain. tum badal nahin sakti ho. Tumko hi badalna hi hoga" (the worlds is like this dear, you cant change it. Think you have to change.) Why would the parents imbibe the so called Values into their children when they know that they are not gonna allow them follow them when grown up??

I, through this post, just wanted to take off my frustrations with the world around me and share my word.

"Its our country friends. Its already deceased and we are supposed to make it normal. No one else would suddenly drop from the sky or fly here from the other countries to change our country. It is us who have to bring the change. It is us who have to take the initiative. If you cant then its ok but please atleast dont try and discourage the ones who want to bring the change. When you are wrong accept it and agree the punishment. Parent India, please your turn is over and its you children's life and let them fight against the wrong and please if you cant let them do so, please dont imbibe the values into them from childhood."

I am not asking you to change after reading my post. If you are grown up and understand the point i am trying to make, you will atleast try to think about it. I cant see anything going wrong against rules, and i have faced the problem of people trying to convince me and change ME. I am strong on my values and try to be like this forever so please, dont tell me that the world is like this and i have to change to live in it and blah blah blah. I am not gonna listen.
