Walking on the path of victory,
I vowed not to look back  ...
A step taken back could make all the difference ,
'nd I would have doubted on my knack ...

When Life Is Not So Normal
And It Seems Too Formal
For Every Breath You Take
You Feel That Is So Fake

And Yet To Live On
Thought "Life Is Not Your Own"
There Is A Lot That You Owe
Indeed You Need To Bow

Come What May Or Helm,
Have To Be There For Them
Purpose Is Yet Not Met
There Is Not Much To Forget

There Are Things 'nd Moments
That Are Still Amiss
Yet You Persevere
Knowing It Isn't Eternal Bliss

For You Have To Get Out
No Matter What
Yet Every Brief Moment
Gives You This Thought.....

Let Your Voices Be So loud,
They Are Heard By All, Not Many...
Let Your Dreams Be So Big,
They Are Achievable By You, Not Any...
Let The Wings Of Hope Soar So High,
They Expand Not One Zenith, But Every Horizon
Let Your Souls Be So Free,
They Cometh Not Alone, But In Unison.

Gone Are Those Days,
When The Will To Succeed, Was A Reflection Of Me,
With So Many Changes In & 'round,
The World Now Is Pretty Different, That I See...
Yet The Feelings Are Not Totally New,
With Just Moments That Are Few,
My State Of Being Doesn't Allow To Wander,
That's What Makes Me All The Time Ponder...

When the sounds are too loud, And the voices seem too low...
When a life moves not fast, But is lived too slow...
When your Identity is not what you are,
when sweet memories turn bitter and sour...
You are bound to feel, the struggle is still on,
As the sense of gratitude you had, seems to be gone...
Yet you persevere, knowing for you, there's something in store,
why leave behind dark moments, let the light from your inner self pour ...

There weren't any unfathomable depths, any unhindered spaces, 

now there are measured footsteps, there are limited paces. 

There weren't any unscalable heights, any unavoidable trenches.

Now there are scaled down walks , there are unending stretches.

Walking In The Dark Alleys ,
I Find It Easy ...
With Light All Around ,
My Thoughts Become Breezy ...

An Instant Or Two ,
I Try And Move Ahead In Light ...
Of All The Fears And Nervousness ,
Making Attempts To Alter My Plight ...

Though It Seems Not So Simple ,
As Day By Day , Or Minute By Minute Passes ...
Walking These Trenches Of Land ,
Without Any Mud Or Grasses ...

The Struggle To Move On ,
Leads My Thoughts And Actions ,
Yet Have A Reason To Rejoice ,
Living Life In Parts And Fractions ...

To Send Some Good Wishes ,
A Few Words To Share ...
No More Than A Bit Of Appreciation ,
To Realize , For Each Other We Care ...

Let Us Bring Together ,
Our Joys And Our Sorrows ...
Being Good Neighbors , This Year ,
Let Us Make "Happy(n)ess" for Our Tomorrows...

Social Notworking...

It seems people are so engrossed in making friends, that they do not even consider giving a thought to a person's request to add him or her to their so-called "Friends" list. This is all because either they want to expand their friends list or more often that the friend who has sent a request has many shared friends without even realizing who that friend is.

Indeed, it is surprising how people tend to figure out only later, either when someone does it for them or when the so-called friend of theirs makes them realize(if at all) that they hardly know each other. In fact, it happens at most of the times they do not know each other.

Considering such a situation, how does one consider social networking as "taboo", when the network has loose ends and those loose ends have no strings attached. Essentially, I would rather say this is Social "Not-working", unless it really is making some sense to most of the people out there in the virtual world.'

Anyhow, this calls for another aspect that the world, which is so engrossed in social networking, needs to reconsider. The aspect that I am talking about is real Social life. People may not have too much time for that, but it should make some difference to their lives in case it is given some priority, because that is when people will start acting socially.

To add to this, I would also say that people should not refrain from virtual social networking, rather use it as tool to provide some information that is valuable to a certain portion of their friends. Considering the "often" scenario, it is acceptable once in a while to do such a thing, and so one should refrain from posting too much stuff on the internet, especially if it is personal. Even though most of the people say that they have just shared the details or whatever it is with their friends, it is clearly known it is still available to a lot of many other people who know how exactly to do what one would not want.

Anyway, keeping all these thoughts with my own self would have definitely not helped me, rather it would have kept bugging me for a while. In addition, I must say that there is nothing hidden in the virtual world and these are solely my views and from my little bit of experience that I have been experimenting with. Any sort of critique or comments are always welcome.

CHAOS

There are words that cannot describe the chaos in this world, but can definitely relate to it. The marketplace, so to say, looks so dull and boring, still full of life. Life in chaos, the hustling and bustling, the unawareness of what is going on just two steps behind oneself, and even what happens when something unexpected unravels. No wonder life in reality is chaotic, even full of surprises, as rightly said in the story that I had read some time during my school days, titled "The Unexpected".

Chaos that engulfs the entire world in itself, chaos that reigns over the silence that is contained within two entities. Silence is bliss, chaos is not. A few random thoughts may add to this chaos, in the supposedly never ending cycle of life. And in the midst of all this chaos, a nice little smile can let you forget all of this, though it may not end the chaos.

This chaos will someday come back, say for instance, when one comes across the same marketplace in a different weather, in a different mood and in an altogether different time-frame, yet the chaos that is contained within will reign.

The chaos will reign not because it wins over silence on almost all occasions and not because it shows up easily, but because this is the way the world is moving, with uncertainty and because chaos has always has had the ability to overpower silence, without any dignity.
