Sometimes

I can't find words.. sometimes

I can't transform my thoughts info sentences

And translate my messy mind .. Sometimes

I cannot comprehend what you speak

And make out your dialogues sometimes

I cannot fathom a being

Understand my own soul

And understand what you just told.. Sometimes

But sometimes

I relate my thoughts to yours

and make a complete galaxy of thoughts

Then

look for words

And

Oh! There you are

Holding them

On your twisted tongue trying to taste the tanginess of the words

Which I've been looking for

Sometime now

Quiet sometime.

The Mind Is Not A Vessel To Be Filled But, A Fire To Be Kindled.

Our minds are meticulously made, marvelous yet malicious medley of memories. It’s the most constructive and destructive depending on how we use it. But above all it is an ocean of ongoing knowledge which must overflow and cause tsunami of whatever words and wisdom we have won.

“But why, why can’t I have the whole chocolate alone, mom?” “Because darling, if you share, they too will and give you another different variety of chocolate.”

Yes that is it, we need to share for a selfish motive- to double our knowledge and, in turn double theirs too.

To actually develop our mind, we needn’t any books, we need interaction, where we not always reflect our regard but also collect their creativity. We today need to expose ourselves to newer philosophies of others and in turn tell our understanding about it. We need a well formed mind not only a well educated mind which knows how to deal with situations in life. I don’t mean to say education is less important but to be able to make best use of it, understanding what the book says is just not enough so we have to go beyond it, experiment, observe, listen and talk.

Most of us these days run behind marks and grades. One can get 99 percent by reading from books writing and practicing a hundred times but that 1 percent lies in someone else’s mind which you had not tried to learn about.

 Now tell me this, what’s the use of an empty match box? You need to light a candle and you don’t have a match stick, so you go and ask someone, that person says yes and gives it to you. And you light the candle. That’s how people should be in life, ready to help and give. Ready to ignite and brighten someone’s life.

Because however much you learn if you don’t pass it on your learning is of no value to the world. Be it a form of art, moral values, sport or of course academics. Let your mind free like a peace less, place less pigeon who flies here and there and scatters all the seeds of sentiments and sanity and then again eats the fruit of wisdom.

Let your mind spread like fire and burn all folly because the mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

'You'll be alright!'

When I lost it, I lost my mind. The control over my self. I didn't want to show my sorrow and anxiety but I couldn't stop. I was collapsing in a pool of sad thoughts. I wanted someone to tell me it'll be alright, again and again. Few came and hugged me tight.
And it felt nice to be cared about. To have someone who was genuinely worried for you. But after a point people stopped. That was the difficult part. When I had to gather myself. When I had to sympathize and console my own self. I tried a bit,but tears shed from my eyes. One then two but no! I wiped the third one before it fell.
I knew that failure is as important as success. I knew that mistakes are better teachers. And I knew that everything is a part and parcel of life. It'll come and go like the waves on shore. Like the traffic on the road and like the people in one's life.
I still get nervous, think no I shouldn't have done it, start to regret but stop to remind myself that those who overcome their losses are real winners.
And now I'm starting believe that life thinks I'm capable of facing these obstacles unlike others. So whenever now I have to face any problem I can, that too with a cheerful smile.
