Unfold the Un-Noticed

The doodle on the paper, the unexpected hug… those eyes focused at you in a room full of people………….

Every now and then life gives you those hints which most of the times we miss, which most of the times just goes unnoticed, which most of the time doesn’t have TIME. All of us are just so busy in the rigmarole of life that it is impossible to even think that life would give you hints for itself. Like us we think life is also very busy ‘BEING BUSY’ but that my friend is not really true, well at least I think so.

‘Life is a mystery, we need to unfold it’ this was said by a dear friend of mine and that time honestly I never understood the meaning of it the way I understand it today. Most of the time we are so busy running in the race for life that forget discovering the mystery, we forget that we have a life. But the irony is that it’s this life only that make us slog like slaves but it’s this life only that makes us realize that not all of it is worth it. And its life only that shows us those small things that we forget to notice.

When was the last time you noticed …The fragrance of the rose, the drops of the dew, the first ray of the sun, the first drop rain, the smile of that stranger whom you’ll never see in life, the giggle of that kid in the neighborhood, the first sip of tea early morning, the shivers in the winter night under your quilt, the known-unknown song which you would hum every morning, the sigh and relief once you hit the bed…. The hug from an old friend, a drop of joy from a loved one….the cloudy sky with shapes of the Dark Lord. There are just so many of them that sometimes it’s impossible to even notice them yet these are signs of life, signs that life is giving you, telling you to stop and enjoy THIS moment…BECAUSE this MOMENT will never come back… Cherish it

Unfold the mystery; unfold life, because life is giving you hints to UNFOLD it…..

Alone in the night

Alone in the night
I shine bright,
Reaching heights of the light.
I am alone but I light
The night.
Alone in the night.

It’s been sometime that you saw me bright,
Alone in the night.
I crackle with sounds
But you’ll never know what lies behind those sounds.
I grow bigger with might
With the winds blowing tight.
Alone in the night

There are loads to hear
Loads to cheer,
Its dark why fear.
I’ll keep you warm,
I’ll keep you strong
Alone in the night

The flames are bright
They fly like kite
Reaching the height of the light
Alone in the night
I shine bright.

Miss The Missing

Missing, what do you really mean by it? The dictionary meaning says “absent, something not being there”. Is it just that, well somewhere nobody really knows? Life keeps throwing its googlies and suddenly while defending yourself from those, one forgets to miss the important things that we have in our lives. Actually some don’t even know what’s important. We get lost in the rigmaroles of life and forget the most important thing, Experiencing LIFE, experiencing the importance of people in them, appreciating them, living with them. We forget to miss, we say it realize it what we actually miss.

Missing, a strong word and irreplaceable feeling. Sometimes we don’t realize how important someone is till the time the person is actually missing. The void, yes when you feel there is a void because of someone then you surely are MISSING. Most of the times we forget to say it out loud. Most of the times there is no point in saying it out loud coz it’s too late. Most of the time you can just say it but nothing will happen, because you and only you are there to experience the feeling. The person concerned is gone, gone forever. It’s imperative that we realize how important life is and the people in them. It’s imperative that we appreciate their existence; we tell them how important they are. How the mere presence of them in our lives makes a difference. Its imperative that we live life, we experience it and tell them how wonderful it is to miss them but how very IMPORTANT it is that they come back because life as we know is not the same without them.

I MISS YOU, I miss you all…… I know I can’t fill the entire void that has been created but I know you can still avoid having any. SO always remember to
Miss The Missing.

Life does take a 360 degree turn

Staring at the sky today tried to think if the Mumbai sky was any different from My Delhi Sky. But didn’t find any difference, the skies were the same. But today my life isn’t the same. A smile just crossed my face thinking of all that I’ve experienced in the past two months, how my life has changed totally. I’ve heard people say my life took a 360 degree turn. I honestly never understood this line, but today I know. From Delhi to Mumbai, from living in the posh south Delhi C. R. Park to living in the suburbs of Mumbai in a place called Kalyan,from traveling for just 20 minutes for work to traveling 5 hours in the day, from driving my own car to traveling in trains, from the comfort and security of my own vehicle to the bruises and push-pull methodology of the trains, from jhal muri, ghugi to sukha bhel and vada pav, from friends to random strangers. Life has really taken 360 degrees turn.From being the elder daughter to the sole bread earner and the head of the family. Never thought I would grow up so fast in just two months.

November which was meant to be one of the stepping stones for my life became a month
which well gave the most devastating news for life, My Dad Having CANCER. Honestly
I never thought I’ll ever write about this but today when I pen down my pain and
struggle I just realized that there might be many more like me struggling in a life which is totally black. From living a life of sunshine, pleasures and delight to a life which is so uncertain and impossible that sometimes I really think it’s just a bad dream and soon it would be over. But well its life and it always takes its own course. You just have to flow in its waves.

In this year where everyone is making resolutions and aiming for new goals, aspiring
for new hopes and looking forward for a better life. I too like others thought of making some but then realized that today life is not allowing me to dream. Today life is making me take the biggest challenge that it could offer. Today when I look at the unknown sky, I know it’s not different but I also know that it’s not mine. In an unknown city with strangers I am fighting the biggest battle of my life. Yes, I do become hopeless once in a while; yes I do feel that I won’t be able to do this anymore. But then again I’ve fought this for so long; I know I can win this.

But the doubts, yes the uncertainties everything lies around. Will there be light again, will I be able to win this battle.......
