Living a life Or living a lie Harmony or strife Eventually you'll die If you get to see The moonlight Above the sea Or it's out of sight The beat of the drums Creating the melody It goes and comes But heard by nobody Burning away the lampActing as if you are brazen Making it damp Even in the haven Coming near or turning away Moving right along Either go or better stay As I write this song....

Life has many phases. You have to go through all of them. The day you are born till the day you die, you would have spent your life in both measurable and immeasurable experiences. Most of the times, the thing that often comes in mind, is how much you tolerated or compromised yourself for the other person. It doesn't matter what was the position of that person and yours too at that point of time. There always comes a point when one says that yes, I am not able to compromise anymore. It can be due to your observing the things from another person's perspective or because of your own, open-eyed perspective to which you were one blind way long back. Whatever the case may be, a time comes when you feel that you have been weighed down all the time till now and your compromises are just looked down as you being a weak, loser kind of a person. The result, a big blow to your self-esteem , self-confidence , in short, to your self-worth ! It happens in everybody's life....

Life revolves around many factors. You have to deal with many aspects of life. Those aspects can be relationships, studies, health, emotional states and several other factors that collectively constitute life . All the people are surrounded by problems. If they don't have a problem, they create one so they can deal with it and have that sense of achievement. There is also another class of people who tend to run away from their problems. Most of the problems nowadays are cooked by them in their head, the remaining ones are due to the fact that they let someone or something to weigh them down. Yes, it's happening! If you sit back and think about it, you will realize that it's the truth . I too have been weighed down many times, I ran from my problems as I sensed that at that time, I was not able to face them only to find out that it is only chasing me and becoming bigger than ever. When I observed closely, I am not alone fighting my own inner and outer battl...

Life moving forward Faster into the future Like the foreword Making it smoother Compromising everytime Living behind the bolted doors As to make the outdoors begrime Trying to settle the scores The kiss of life Sometimes too smooth to handle Sometimes dealing with strife As if acting like a vandal Forgetting about the pain Recalling the old times Praise and arraign For the old crimes The flame that may rise Burning a candle within From the lows and highs Penetrating through thick and thin.....

We often come to a point where we are bound to ask one question with every situation that we face in life. That question simply makes us stop and think about how we have lived so far, the mistakes we might or might not have committed. Moreover, it also prepares us for how to see the things from an entirely different perspective, a source of revelation you can say.  Below are some of the questions based on the life experiences that make me stop and ask myself, tell me why? 1. People are so insecure I have seen many, in fact, a lot of many people having a plethora of insecurities. It's like they are overburdening themselves with the unnecessary insecurities. Insecurity from a relationship, insecurity from a job, insecurity from friends, from relatives, siblings, and the list goes on and on! What they don't get is that they are moving away from no one but themselves. Having insecurity is a natural reaction but if it takes over you and controls you, then...

I have been observing it daily that the people today are getting unhappy and depressed. Though the depression is something really serious which has taken a toll on most of the people, especially the younger generation. Observing closely, the younger generation is not only the victim of depression alone but a variety of different diseases leading to their unhappiness. What's the cause of this unhappiness? Does upbringing have a role to play in this? The Impatient Youth -  The youth of today has become extremely impatient. Blame it on the upbringing wherein the kids are given everything in the blink of an eye or blame it to the modern day technology (faster internet, faster PCs, gaming consoles etc.). An earlier generation of the 80s and 90s used to have black and white phones which they got at the age of 19 or 20. They used to play games like Snake, Tetris etc. The 80s and 90s generation has seen the transition from 80s to 90s to 2000+ and in this transition, they h...
