    Driving on an endless highway Loathing the ground beneath Countless fears lurking in mind Haunting me every night and day Doors inside my head bolted from within Blocking all the dawn Knocked out hard by the strong winds Nothing left to win Waiting on the sea of gray Seven moons and seven suns  A lot to forget, a lot to remember  I am dying a little bit everyday I met a man on the way Who greeted me with a smile I was looking in the mirror and realized Don't save it for another day Worn out, it was a long day I stopped at a place called home Room to room, came a revelation We all are dying a little bit everyday!    Image credits - Photo by Dyu - Ha on Unsplash  

 "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene is a book that has gained significant popularity since its release in 1998. The book aims to provide readers with a deep understanding of the dynamics of power and how to gain and maintain it. While some may view the book as manipulative, others see it as a valuable guide to navigating the complexities of the modern world. In this article, we will discuss some of the key learnings from the book.   1. Power is all around us One of the primary messages of "The 48 Laws of Power" is that power is ubiquitous. It is present in all human interactions, from personal relationships to business dealings. Understanding power dynamics is essential to navigating these relationships successfully. 2. Learn to observe people To gain power, it is important to be able to read people accurately. Greene advises readers to observe people carefully and to pay attention to their body language, tone of voice, and overall behavior. By understanding wh...

  3 Idiots is more than just a movie - it's a masterpiece that has managed to leave an impact on millions of people. From its heart touching dialogues to its amazing screenplay and relatable characters, this movie has managed to capture the hearts of many. 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. The character of Rancho, played by Aamir Khan, is a perfect example of this. For him, happiness was about gaining knowledge, and he was able to do that even though the money wasn...

    I passed across an alley All I could feel was silence And an eerie vibe Consumed me from within   The thunder lighted up my way For a fraction of a second The cracks on the building Proclaimed its haunted past   All my life I have waited And in my hour of need Tonight I pray to you One last time   Tell me that the sun will rise again…   Begging you to listen No I’m not insane I am ready to face it now Just coalesce the revelations   The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to rise again, yeah!   The memories came back As a bullet pierced my brain Opening up the hidden chambers That lay lifeless but with pain   All my life I have waited And in my hour of need Tonight I pray to you One last time   Tell me that the sun will rise again…   [chorus] The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to rise again… The sun is bound to ...

  Walking away Past the shadows Waiting for my time You suddenly turned up All the times of pleasure Took over the pain Those unforgettable innocent eyes And that cute smile... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night The time when we kissed And stayed together Hand in hand, our love bloomed Oh, I loved every bit of it, I still do! We hit the sidewalk Walking past the insinuations And the implications Only to lose it all... I have waited enough You don't get it I guess you never will And it was a beautiful night...

  Saw you on Facebook  Dressed in yellow Impossible to let my eyes off Oh! you are so beautiful   The first time I saw you I was lost in those deep eyes Searching for some place quiet To build a home inside   The first time I touched you Felt the ever longing twitch My mind keeps reminiscing Those moments of bliss...   Still looking for a place In your ocean eyes To build a home sweet home For US to live and relish together   Oh the beautiful you No one can steal your glory Will find a space and build a palace Never to skip from your eyes anymore!   Let's build a palace together, my love!     

      Let's dance tonight Under the starry sky Breaths mingled together Like moon with the night   Let's dance tonight  Kissing indefinitely Let our lips do the talking In this beautiful darkness   Let's dance tonight Hand in hand Held close together Never to leave again   Let's dance tonight Consumed in the moment Let ourselves unite as one In the subdued moonlight Let's dance tonight With the stars & galaxies Celebrating US together again Never to fall apart. ..   Let's dance tonight, shall we?

      The sky burst up in a confetti Snow bathed the roads The feeling of old is petty As we see each other at the crossroads   Your mellifluous voice soothed my ears As I was lost into the way you talked Where you have been all these years? Maybe you were the one I stalked   As the sky turned black The night dragged everybody to their homes Excited when you gave a nod to the snack Tonight, You be the Irene Adler and I'll be Sherlock Holmes   Night sky welcoming us as we take a stroll Silent, letting our eyes do the talking Like a soul talking to a soul And our lips do the locking   Stars playing hide and seek in the dark As the coal sees the last of its remains in ember I still have the deep love mark Loving you is the only what I remember...

  Looking myself in the mirror Staring the hurricane in the eye As I come closer to my reflection Hiding beneath the lie   The colors in the sky turn grey Thunderstorm welcoming the day I walk on the cracked roads Below which thousands of souls lay   The unknown is the path, the unknown is the way Still, I have stepped out towards the destination The pain washed away by the tiny droplets of rain Moving on from station to station   You can't cage a bird as free as me Destined to see the places without a sigh Past influences future or future is the past Yeah, I will fly high...   I must be traveling now The love is so sweet, yeah I know Pulled me like the guitar strings So much for you, I have to show...   Photo by Alejandra Quiroz on Unsplash  

     With all the heart And my soul I embarked on a journey Without any goal  Lighting up the candles As I sit in the dark The 3 am friends came knocking Yes they appeared so stark Listened to my heart's calling Staying away from the crowds Loved the enchanting scenery Behind the white clouds   The sun kissed the mountains The ink splashed on the paper Painting thoughts with words And emotions turn to vapor   The time went by so quickly It just seemed like yesterday I was drawn to you, the pied piper Not going anywhere, I'm here to stay...   *This year, I complete 9 years of my blogging journey. It is not a roller coaster ride for me. As a person who takes things slowly, like to live a slow, peaceful life, I pen whatever I feel like writing. With this poem, I express my thoughts and emotions plus the experiences.   Photo by Elijah O'Donnell from Pexels  

    Starting from scratch nth time Following a different way Getting not even a dime As the regular pay   Removing the sick mind Replacing with the healthy one Not to be left behind This fight is to be won   All that hard work Always gone unseen Life gives a smirk Time to change the scene Taking on the challenge Sailing the sinking ship Not trying to be savage Are you ready for this trip?     Photo by Fuu J on Unsplash  

    Taking my breath away As I see your silky hair sway Can't wait to come to you to propose I come closer to you with a red rose! Dancing under the starlit sky Our lips meet, with a sigh Feeling cold, I put my hand in the pocket Surprise you with your favorite chocolate! The Downpour of the rain teases us There is a minus, there is a plus Making it sure that we are ready Says with a blink, the cute teddy!   As the thundering becomes intense Clouds began to form so dense  Being with you is a sweet drug Can't wait to give you a tight hug!  Wishing this night doesn't go away Is the only thing that I pray Time is running out, reaching to the peak With you, my love, every week is a Valentines week!   Also read - Nobody else, but only you!

    Counting and recounting the number of times I failed , it has created a mountain tearing the ceiling of the house I live in. Curse, as they say, It's not bad luck as I don't believe in the bullsh*t of good or bad luck. The reason being the definition of what's good or bad varies from person to person. They say being lost is common and one can get back. What about a person who has gone for too long and too far? It will take a lifetime to get back. Living the same old life on a daily basis, the problems faced never seem to end. The so-called God sitting above the puny human beings is enjoying the matinee show. Never-Ending Pain Aching nights, tracked by the satellites, but I am not received. Looking for ways to collect the broken pieces of my useless life, but it doesn't seem to fix anytime soon coz the pieces are too many. The fire that originally erupted seems to complete its course and burn out. The cold flame seemingly burning the last time, trying hard to...

    "Wake up! It's sunrise." Someone screamed at me in the dawn. In deep slumber, I had no intention to wake up and face the demons of the haunted house again. Life literally plays hide and seek with me and somehow I have also started enjoying it. Tried a lot to speak out but as I elucidated in my previous post, counting my failures is not my cup of tea anymore because they are too many. Carrying miserable myself everywhere, knocking every door I can to seek refuge, but sometimes life, like the tongue can be betraying. From dawn to dusk, I do it all over again incessantly every single day. Watching all laugh at the fool called me is no surprise as I have started doing the same, I laugh at myself whenever I do something that doesn't seem to be of this world. Please me not The pleasing material I have become, like a puppet with strings held by multiple personalities out there. I try to find myself but all I see is darkness. Hiding, deep down I pray for this miser...

    “Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough.” This quote by Og Mandion seems like a ray of hope for many out there who are struggling right now or have seen struggle throughout their lives. Today, I am going to discuss something which I have been pondering over for the last few months. It may seem that I am venting out my frustrations to most of you but I am speaking this from my experiences rather than frustrations. So it's a request to all of you not to judge me by this post or if you do want to frame opinions you are free to do because I have no control over it whatsoever. Fear All Around I have never been fearful but lately with the chain of events that has happened in my life recently, fear is the new language I am peaking now. It's not that I am an introvert and can't shout out loud for what I want or need, but it's that I am f**k**g tired of doing that. The voices either fall on deaf ears or are lost somewhere in the...
