Welcoming The New Beginning: A New You

 It's a new beginning to make,

And also to break

The past sorrows,

Moving towards a new tomorrow

With a thankful heart,

For all those who are a part

Of our wonderful lives,

Who painted it with colourful dyes.

Lets remove all our egos,

Stepping towards a new go,

Where we truly care for each other

God has given us chance another!

To start a new fresh,

So now let's don't mess,

For the little things anymore

There are opportunities crores.

All we need is to make our soul pure,

Seeing then the success awaiting for sure.

Fill your hearts with colours of joy,

Life is waiting for you to enjoy,

All the little happiness,

Which you earlier felt less.

Open your eyes to see the beautiful world,

There are plenty of white pearls.

Cut the chain of all your sufferings,

Embrace yourself with new beginning.

For all the ways to come,

Difficulties are there but only some.

You will easily overcome all those,

Finishing line is so close.

Celebrate the life as a new you,

A bright future is waiting for you too!

The Unwanted Truth

 

For I don't wish to go this way,
I wish a little more to stay...
To finish the things I started,
To patch up with the ones I parted;
But it's the truth that I have to accept
There is one more route waiting for me to connect!

Thank You almighty for all you have given me...

The innocent eyes to see the beautiful sight,
And to feel the light so bright,
The ears for the ability to hear,
The brain to start the gear,
Of the thinking process
Which actually I used less,
For the looks which give me identity,
For the chances which make my destiny,
For all the lovely people I met,
And for all the things I get...

Before entering the new life,
Just give me minutes twice;
To fulfil my role
So as to please my soul...

Oh Lord,
Please take care of my dear ones,
Fill their lives with lots of funs
Be all their worries end with me,
And always they remain tension free.
Forgive them for their every mistake,
Make their inner soul awake,
To differentiate between good and bad,
But please never make them sad.
Shower your blessings on them,
Strengthen their inner stem
Of believing their own self
I will always be grateful for this help,
Grant me the serenity to accept my departure,
Shower your blessings on me and make me a perfect archer!

Smartphones

 The best & worst gadget of today’s world,
Smartphones of everyone! Why you ask??
It wastes our time,
By creeping up into our creative minds,
Making us dull and blind.
We stay glued to our mobiles,
Giving up all our lessons and neglecting our chores.
We keep swiping up & down the screen
And surfs the net all day
Until ending up with severe headache…
Oh! I know l know
It helps a bit in studies though,
Perhaps ordering food, cab, groceries & benefits few..
But what it does more is,
It wastes our time ,
By creeping up into our creative minds,
Making us dull and blind.
We will have specks to wear soon, Try to reach those miles away ignoring people nearby.
Still getting confused whether bane or boon..?
I pray, l wish l beg to all
Stay away from that time killing device
Instead go for a nice reading
Go for novels or comics, dance, laugh, walk & pray.
Don’t waste your valuable time,
Rather try something that will sharpen your mind.

The reason why

She's so beautiful...

She is, I mean look at her smile, it brightens my gloomy days...

Her eyes, the sparkle in them everytime she's under the sun, give me a ray of hope.

Her cute little face... It fits right in my hands every time I pinch her cheeks with love.

She might not be the fairest of them all, but everytime the sun hits her face, you can see a tint of red.

Her walk, well let's just say that confidence silences people whenever they look at her...

She doesn't talk much, but whenever she does it's like a melody to me...

Okay world, that's enough of you describing her... Now let her describe her self for us...

Me?

I'm beautiful...

I am, I mean look at me, can you see my lips trembling? Trust me, it does take an effort to force them together so tight as I lift my cheeks up.

My eyes... Ah that's where I usually fail, they're always so wet with tears, I try my best not to let them flow... Its hard to look every time it's sunny you know? It's all blurry.

Hands are now so used to having my face burried in them as I sit in a corner of the room, it kind of feels like my face is small so that they could fit in my hands perfectly...

You don't need to pinch my cheeks, my face is always red. Always wet with tear stains.

Oh, did you know how hard it is to walk when your legs are shaking? The amount of energy it takes to take every stride as I attempt not to fall over with these jelly legs?

And talking? I'm sorry I don't talk much, it's a bit hard to talk when I'm trying my best to suppress my screams and cries when I do so...

Wait, that's not right?

Oh yes I'm beautiful.

I guess it's these things I do to look normal that makes me beautiful...

These smiles, the twinkling eyes, the red flushed cheeks, they really do make a girl look so pretty.

Even though the amount of energy taken to master them is a little underrated.

But for the world. Yes, that's what beautiful means...

So yes. I am beautiful.

But let me tell you what I think is right.

I'm not beautiful.

I'm strong.

I think by now you know the reason why.

The Awakener

O thou great soul, We bow our heads infront of you.

For you were not only an inspiration, But the painter of our dear nation. You make us understand No matter how worse the situation is, Together we can make our enemies freez To stand erect and fight, To protect our pride Is our birth right.

You turned our hollow thoughts into diamonds which were earlier coal, Ignited our minds to achieve the goal. You motivate us to chase the dream, And never compromise with our self esteem.

You started the freedom movement, And let the Britishers bend.

You eradicated the demon untouchability, Made us aware of our true ability. You made the world understand the power of unity, And never be a victim of self pity. You sowed the seeds of a sustainable environment, Without which human race will suffer from a serious ail-ment.

For thou we learn How to fight without any weapon And win. You inspire us to be a player of the game, Winning and losing both are part of the same. On the path it's ok to stumble, But don't panic and be humble.

Oh thou great soul, For the mankind take another birth Come back again on the earth. Shower on us you blessings, The world will always needs your teachings.

Life’s what our perception is

-Anuradha Agarwal

When I was small I looked at the mirror happily,

Since then life had changed dramatically.

Earlier I used to be happy me,

I choose to live in a way that is free.

My own thoughts matters me the most,

In a world where I am lost.

With an un-borrowed vision,

I am on my own mission

Then I grow up,

And things got disrupt.

What will others think?

In this thought my whole world shrink

How to be happy? I forget,

For which I later regret.

Instead of listening to my inner voice,

I am doing something that is not my choice.

Just to be in the crowd,

I also started shouting loud.

But,

Life is a valuable gift which we should respect,

Happiness and sadness are it's subjects.

To be happy we just need our own appreciation,

Which helps us to deal with any situation.

It's ok to be yourself,

Sometimes you just need your help.

Life is what our perception is,

And we have to play this quiz.

Just with a little caution,

We have to choose an option -

Deluded thoughts and pain OR

Clear vision and gain.

Colours of Love

Love is in the air,

You can find it everywhere!

Once you feel it;

you will get rid,

Of all the negative situations,

Making route to the beautiful destination.

What true love means?

To live in the cheerful greens,

Where you care for yourself the most,

In a world where you are lost.

You find someone,

With whom you can enjoy

Your life is full of fun,

With all the little joy.

It demands your own acceptance,

You can speak your own sentence.

It Never lets you feel hurt,

It's your new birth.

You listen to your hearts voice,

Your life is your own choice,

You don't need to make any adjustments,

It's your own dream investment.

You heart is very kind.

In a world where you are blind..

Once you find it,

Always cheerful your mind is!

The journey called Life

Have some spice

Some said you are good for nothing

Some said you can do everything

What matter is the perception

You just need your own imagination

To follow your passion

Make your own fashion

Let others conspire

But You be inspire

Go on and join the dots

To get the right knot

Never let anyone feel you down

Destiny is there to renown.....

Your future 

Say it loud

That you are proud

To follow your dreams

And enjoy the creme

Reach the highs

And touch the sky
