To the New Endings

They say creation and destruction are two sides of the same coin. And the time between each creation and its successive destruction- the inter-phase is what's commonly called life.

But the point is maybe the ending to something good is just the beginning of something even better. Better people,better experiences and better choices and sometimes it is just good to start all  over again but this time properly implementing what the previous person or experience taught you.
So here I've a poem I wrote in the last 30 minutes of our 9th grade annual examinations...

To the New Endings

The year has ended finally,
Although the exams felt like eternity,
The school year passed away in friendships and fraternity.

People say life is a journey,
But this year I realised its irony,
People will enter your life,
Shake it up a bit,
And get down eventually,
Leaving you in solitary.

Maybe that is life ,
Not just heart and flowers but also the damned knife,
But we still face it everyday,
With our hopes and esteems high,
Willing to reach a place no one can find.

But with sadness and the heartbreaks
Came the madness, the craziness and the learning
And in me came the improvisations and the power,
To next year again face the ever changing, masked and mediocre civilization.

But it'll be different now,
Not the same me, not the same experiences around,
With new hopes and aspirations,
I shall welcome the new world for now.

And one day when I'll have all these people in the journey with me again,
I'll thank them for the wonderful moments and the falls they brought to me,
For the moments gave me memories and the falls gave me wisdom,
And tell them that whatever we were- friends or foes
I'll always love them all.

For all those someones in my life

Hardcore. The word we all root for. Work for. Stand for. But if you're in a serious problem what are you most likely to do? Will you choose to face it alone and prove to the whole wide world that you're really strong? But what if you can face that problem with someone by your side? Someone with that vibe.  Someone you cares for you no matter what. Someone who always has that beautiful smile for you. Someone who will tirelessly walk a mile just to see that you're alright.. Someone who will purely love you even when you can't love yourself and understand you when you can't understand yourself. Isn't that someone just the person you need in your life? So ask yourself. How many such someones have you met in your life?  Right now while reading this most people would have just one person in their head but trust me there are many more. Ever heard those wedding vows?   “From this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in ...

Journey of a Song

It's about a song. Many songs.  Listen to it just for the sake of listening, or understand the song. See the bigger picture.  If you're into Bollywood music you'll understand this even better because in these movies the songs find their context, fit perfectly into the story. And that's quite exactly what a song does to our lives as well. I mean who doesn't want to believe that their life is a movie? But coming back to the original idea of the journey of a song... Phase 1- Love at first hearing: So this amazing journey begins right from the time you hear for the song for the first time when it strikes the right chords of your heart. You might hear it on the radio or YouTube. And then? Magic it is. Like almost suddenly you fall for that song. But obviously there are reasons behind this. We fall for these songs because they quite simply express our hearts' unexplained emotions. The entire music industry works on the fact that we a...
