The last entry was way too pessimistic... so here's something better. I had written this poem as my response to a poem one of my friends had given me... though i never got a chance to show this too my friend... but anyways here it is...
Why don’t we look back again
I feel we are missing the rhymes
The story of every breadth has been heard
And still we found no purpose served
How come you already knew?
What life was going to teach you…?
And for the makers of the blurting stuff
Decoding all that must’ve been tough
They found their purpose and so will you
Even if small, it won’t mean you don’t need to
Like it or not life’s no theory
There’ll be more than existence to this story
Live it for once and not just pretend
You’ll love the support they’ll extend
You knew the fittest survives
In this world you’ll have to strive
And they prey for your courage
That u be the fittest
But you lost yourself and failed the test
Remember you are the king
You own those wings
There are waves you can’t leave behind
But that doesn’t mean you’ll never rise you’d never shine…
Hate and anguish deceived the code of divine
And you killed your powers with that wine
How do you even ask for a shrine?
You are the king you can’t leave them behind
The lesson is half learnt the I alone doesn’t stand
We have to walk together hand in hand
With joy and sorrow
We make our way to a better tomorrow
Even if a fading one life remains a mystery… I guess you’ll agree too
And you are a warrior wouldn’t you like to fight through
The betrayal and the injustice and those lies within you
Go for it man you got to get your dues too…………
We can’t live life on our terms and conditions
Life is the challenger let it offer the complications
Setting your trends is the goal
Don’t follow the winners what they give is not your own
Trust yourself and the scenario will change
And when your son would come saying life’s strange
You’ll know you don’t have to guide him through this ocean
But set him free to find his own explanations
Of why people lose the sight
Why they forget in this world you have to fight for your right
Let him know he needn’t follow the crowd
At least save him from the inner conflict that nearly had you drowned
Happiness isn’t a molecule and you know it too
Give you son the faith, which lacked in you
And you’ll get the worth of it all
When you Dad would say“Sunny… you did a great job………”

WHY DO I WISH TO FIGHT
It's pessimistic i know... but im sure everyone feels this at some or other time...
WHY DO I WISH TO FIGHT
Heartless as I seem to be
The whole world stands against me
I know I’m wrong
I know I’m not strong
Then why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
All looks blank a dark cloud leads
To my pleas there's no one to heed
No reason to live
But the will to survive
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
Living is past death is future
Till when this existence can I nurture
No shoulder to cry
No wings to fly
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
Wishes are dead feelings are hard
No will no tear in my heart
My eyes have gone dry
Nothing can make me
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
No reason to live but the will to survive
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
WHY DO I WISH TO FIGHT
Heartless as I seem to be
The whole world stands against me
I know I’m wrong
I know I’m not strong
Then why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
All looks blank a dark cloud leads
To my pleas there's no one to heed
No reason to live
But the will to survive
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
Living is past death is future
Till when this existence can I nurture
No shoulder to cry
No wings to fly
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
Wishes are dead feelings are hard
No will no tear in my heart
My eyes have gone dry
Nothing can make me
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might
No reason to live but the will to survive
Why do I wish to fight?
Try and gather all my might

My First Poem!
My first poem.....
I LOVE YOU………… I NEED YOU
I remember those old days
When you were by my side
You were there when I cried
My tears trickled on your cheeks
My joys played in your eyes
I was your life your love you said
So you said you cared
And those assurances… and promises
Has it become a dream for you?
A mere thought… a dream
If not then why am I alone in the crowd?
Why am I feeling deserted?
You’d said you love me and need me
I say I love you… I need you…
I LOVE YOU………… I NEED YOU
I remember those old days
When you were by my side
You were there when I cried
My tears trickled on your cheeks
My joys played in your eyes
I was your life your love you said
So you said you cared
And those assurances… and promises
Has it become a dream for you?
A mere thought… a dream
If not then why am I alone in the crowd?
Why am I feeling deserted?
You’d said you love me and need me
I say I love you… I need you…

Sometimes
SOMETIMES.....
Sometimes we forget that god is good
And he is watching over us
Sometimes we forget that we aren't alone
And there are people who can't do without us
Sometimes we forget that everyone is special
And that we can only shape the raw realities
Sometimes we forget that we all have a purpose
And that the biggest journey starts with a step
Sometimes we forget how much we love each other
And that we are still together
Sometimes we forget that we've survived a lot
And that even this will get over someday
Sometimes we forget that there are no tomorrows
And that each passing moment can be a treasured memory
So if you think that you have all odds against you
Remember that no matter what you have to fight through
And if you feel tired, lost and ready to give up
Turn around and I’ll be there to reassure you
And tell you that I love you................

Tell What Is Living To You
I had written this back in the 11th std.
TELL ME WHAT IS LIVING ALL ABOUT
Is it about the countless smiles?
Or faith on people separated by miles
Is it love of a friend?
Or a trust that will never end
Tell me what is living all about
Friends for keepsAnd shoulders to weep
Is it facing all problems
Or just filling the empty columns
With laughter and tears
Hopes and fears
Is it meddling with faith and destiny?
Or just accepting life’s mutiny
Tell what is living all about
Is it having all you want and none to share?
Or sharing all and yet no one around to care
Is it a dream of the future?
Or hope from the past
Tell me what is living all about
Is it assuming all to be fair and true?
Or helping people through their blues
Is it the laughter that lightens the pain?
Or the tears that pour in vain
Tell me what is living all about
Tell me your hopes and dreams
Let me know the world you see
The sorrow and the pain you bear
The laughter and jest you share
Tell what to you is living all about
TELL ME WHAT IS LIVING ALL ABOUT
Is it about the countless smiles?
Or faith on people separated by miles
Is it love of a friend?
Or a trust that will never end
Tell me what is living all about
Friends for keepsAnd shoulders to weep
Is it facing all problems
Or just filling the empty columns
With laughter and tears
Hopes and fears
Is it meddling with faith and destiny?
Or just accepting life’s mutiny
Tell what is living all about
Is it having all you want and none to share?
Or sharing all and yet no one around to care
Is it a dream of the future?
Or hope from the past
Tell me what is living all about
Is it assuming all to be fair and true?
Or helping people through their blues
Is it the laughter that lightens the pain?
Or the tears that pour in vain
Tell me what is living all about
Tell me your hopes and dreams
Let me know the world you see
The sorrow and the pain you bear
The laughter and jest you share
Tell what to you is living all about
Simple ways to vlunteer
I had written this article for an organisation called AID... though i'm not the active member but i would surely like to work for the cause...
Here's the article....
My mother often tells me a story she read somewhere... about a man who picked up star fish brought on shore by high tide and threw them back in to the sea one by one. He knew he couldn't throw back all the fishes that were brought on shore by the tide, but he also knew he made a difference to each one he threw back.
The concept is so simple that we tend to overlook it. We don't realize how valuable our small gestures can be to someone. The first practical example I saw of this, was my grandfather, he used to distribute sweets to the children in the slums and helped the people there in whatever way he could, sometimes giving them money or things like clothes, even old furniture. You should've seen the way those children greeted him and the way their love warmed his heart... and ours too, they loved him and we loved them for it. This is simple isn't it?
You don't need to donate money to help; you need to give a bit of yourself. And trust me it's a wonderful feeling, when you realize that you have the ability to make someone smile.
I have seen so many people help the less fortunate. Some donate clothes to orphanages and home for the elderly. And trust me they look forward to their monthly visits to these places. It's an unforgettable experience each time. We admire such people, and sometimes envy them for the respect they get. Almost each one of us is deeply moved by the dreadful scenario of the slums, but unfortunately we never do anything about it. We feel who are we and what can we do to help these people...it would be good enough if we could help ourselves. Well.... when we call them less fortunate then obviously we have more than them and we are capable of helping them out in whatever little way we can.
There are a million ways in which we can help, and donating things and money to non profit organizations like AID is just one of it. Remember the idea is to open your heart to someone else and make a place for ourselves in their heart. It might almost seem effortless once we all start doing our bit. And yes not to forget our pet problem time... I think that God will never give us a day when we have time for everything. We got to make our own time for the things we want to do from the 24 hours on our hand, and in this case it’s for the things we need to do.
Remember as children we never had to make an effort to help anyone. Do you realize why... because we had empathy for our fellow beings. We didn't look down on anyone; we never thought of it as giving we shared things. Those people don't need our sympathy they need us to share a little bit of our fortune with them...
