The Lost Boy

He searched and searched but failed to find
The people he had met and left behind.
The ones that gave him all that he got
The ones that considered him and gave him a thought

Today he searched for his past,
The past that he treated badly
He longs to see those faces
The faces he accused so falsely.

Little did he know back then,
That there was more to the people he called friends.
Never did he think for even a moment
That Karma would bite him like a sneaky serpent

And today, when hes down to the dogs
He can only regret pulling everyone down
For to reach the peak of his success
He had to portray himself as the best

Seeking his roots, now he is humbled
For he realizes life isn't about being on top
The higher you go, the quicker you could tumble
Its time for him to make a stop.

So he travels back home and sees no faces.
This was once better than all places
And he sits by a shelf with a frame and many a toy
This Lost Man... Now a Lost Boy.

We are like that only

We have two eyes to see both sides
We have legs to allow us to walk freely
But we look just one way and never dare to stray
For we are like that only

We have minds smarter than machines
We have hands that can work real quickly
But machines rule us while our hands laze
For we are like that only

We know what is right and we know what is wrong
And we know what will happen if we don't choose wisely
But fools that we are, towards the bad we are drawn
For we are like that only

We find a friend and fall in love
Share secrets, build trust and promise honesty
By and by comes a cuter guy and il say bye to you
For we are like that only

Unconditional Love

Love doesn't come with conditions and rewards
If it does, its not love.
When you love, love because you want to give love,
Love because someone or something is worthy of your Love.
Worthy of the care and the consideration that you are bound to give.
Love, not because you want to be loved in return.
Love because loving feels amazing.
Love because love is the best gift you could give anyone.

Love can never promise you absolute Happiness.

But it will promise you contentment.

There will come times when you will receive no love in return.

Dont fret, love finds its way back around.

In its own time, it will come to you.

But don't let that discourage you from loving with all your heart.

If everyone gave love, without expecting it in return,

There is no doubt someones will already be loving you.

Love what you do, love where you are, love WHO you are.

Love because it costs you nothing.

If you must love, love unconditionally!

Or don't love at all.

Life's Beautiful, Open your eyes!

Oh, the wonder on a little kid's face as he looks up to the skies!
and as he stares at a never ending ceiling, watch the wonder in his eyes...
Can our minds grow the other way around
Just for the sake of innocence and grasping power that's rarely found...

Have a look at the grass that grows out of the soil of all life.
Glance at the fruitful trees that survived the harshest of storms to give something back to its nurturers.
Gaze at the birds and how they defy the law of gravity.
See the insects and question their existence inspite of man's treacherous ways to get rid of them.

What do you see in all of this? Can you see life in all its glory?
Is your mind open enough to grasp the miracles of this land?
or rather, are your eyes open enough to even see these things in your day to day life?
Life is indeed beautiful!

Right from the sun that rises to the waves that travel from the horizon to the shore.
Right from the cries of a new born baby to the silence of newly commissioned Dad.
From the water that then became land to the land that is now Food.
from the smile on a persons face to the love that's overflowing from someone else's heart.

There is no questioning the fact that this land was created with artistic hands.
An artist can only try to capture all of its elegance and beauty.
But what the eye sees will never compare to what the hand can paint.
Open your eyes, Life is Beautiful!

Be Happy Where You Are

Where you are now is where you are supposed to be,
Until you understand, accept and live with that there's no way you can be happy.
Yes, we all want to be somewhere better, some where else.
We can work towards it, but if your heart is not where you are presently,
you cant leave cause you don't have a starting line to begin with.

Being content is difficult in a world like ours, with new technology, new brands, etc.
No matter how much we have, there always a little more that we could or would want to add to it.
So where do we draw the line? Where does 'want' end and 'contentment' begin?
That thin line is Satisfaction. It's Acceptance. And it's Acknowledgement.
Satisfaction with what you have, Acceptance of what you get and Acknowledgement of who you are.

The road to pure contentment and happiness is not easy, but its not one that you can't thread.
Once you've walked the path and overcome all temptations on the way, there's nothing to regret.
The fruit of it is Peace within Chaos, Silence in the midst of Noise.
And most importantly, YOU standing out from the millions.

The Day She Didn't Smile

In the 18 years of my existence, never had I seen such a miracle.... 
Such a miracle of a smile,
Like a flower blooming out of a thick cover of snow,
Like a ray of sunlight on a rainy day,
Or like a drop of water in the desert
That smile was a symbol of strength,
A result of years of pain displayed in the most deceptive way.
That smile was a sign of power over all elements of the world,
Power over anything and everything that had the potential to create a frown.
That smile signified victory over the most gruesome battles and the most wounding wars....
That smile was a true example of humility.
But the day she didn't smile.... 
It was like heavens gates closed for all humanity.
Like her giving up was enough to leave no hope left for the existence of mankind.
The day she didn't smile, I broke slowly, piece by piece.... 
I couldn't stand the sight of something so beaten up, so broken so shattered and so helpless.... 
And I wondered and I sighed at such a sight....
At a broken angel... A figure of beauty that was desecrated by life's cruelty.
I watched how torn apart a soul could be and yet be beauty personified.....
I realized then, what a smile is and how sometimes the emotion behind it we don't see.
The day she didn't smile... I frowned for a while and decided her strength to be.
