Steps!


From childhood till now
I have grown up so far
To the phase not so mar
I had no choice but to allow

It has been a tough call
As I kept climbing up
Sometimes I had to jump
At times it led me to fall

I remember as a child
I used to learn to climb
Through the day, all the time
Up and down, feeling beguiled

Today I stand here still at top
Waiting to reach somewhere 
After scouring here and there
I realize the fact that I can't stop

Still wondering what will come next
Placing my feet on the quiet earth
I surmise that in every birth
I have to keep on climbing the steps!


This poem is inspired from a photograph uploaded by a dear friend, Saru Singhal on Facebook.  Saru, hope you like it. You can visit her blog by clicking here.

  2. Nice use of abba rhyming. Somehow makes the words seem enclosed within themselves. Like a flower bud! Hope you keep climbing the steps!

As someone who has watched the movie several times, I can confidently say that it's one of the most inspiring movies out there. Here are some of the most important lessons that I have learned from watching 3 Idiots. Money Can't Buy You Happiness, Really? The age-old adage that "money can't buy happiness" is true, but there's a catch. Money can buy you the things that can make you happy. In other words, having more money can lead to a happier life to some extent. However, it's not necessary to have your own money to be happy.
