OH BOY! YOU ARE NOT DESPERATE ENOUGH TO TASTE VICTORY



In the chilly mornings,
the alarm clock rings,
breaking your dreams into bits 
and waking you to assemble those pieces in reality.
But, when you choose 
to stay under the covers
and when you refuse to follow 
the arduous trajectory,
Oh boy! You are not desperate enough to taste victory.

In the ocean of life, you swim
and swim into the oblivion to reach the end. 
The end or the victory is far, invisible but, it is there.
The journey is daunting and you start
with a heart brimming with aplomb.
But, when a huge wave
throws you hard, back in deep waters
and you choose not to be brave
to start again and create history
Oh boy! You are not desperate enough to taste victory.

On the path of success,
you start as a caterpillar and end 
as a beautiful butterfly.
But, if you choose to remain cocooned 
and refuse to accept change, you die.
If stepping out of your protective shell
makes you feel jittery,
Oh boy! You are not desperate enough to taste victory.

RISKS- By Janet Rand

To laugh is to risk appearing the fool. To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out for another is to risk involvement. To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return. To live is to risk dying. To hope is to risk despair. To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.                                                                     The person who risks nothing, does nothing,  has                                                              ...

"I AM FINE THE WAY I AM"

I was in a clinic and was waiting for my turn to consult the doctor. Since it was taking too long, I just got into a conversation with the receptionist. She told me one incident that surprised me and I was miffed too. The receptionist had a friend who was slightly healthy. She did not look that awkward, but her close friends teased her and advised her to shed some weight off. Now, that girl took it so seriously that she went on dieting for weeks and ultimately was admitted to a hospital where she died! Just imagine the extent to which people go just to get a letter of approval with the signatures of this society! We all have a bad habit that we want to be loved by all. We don't want our haters to exist and this is the main reason why we don't accept our imperfections. In this struggle of becoming a perfect person, we end up becoming a messy person. If you want the world to love you, there is no need to pretend and be fake. It just requires a simple action: you need to l...

DISCOVER YOURSELF

The stage was set. All lights were dimmed. Holding their breaths, were the ecstatic students and staff, jam packing the auditorium. All eyes were fixed on the stage. And then, I entered, the spotlight was on me. I was completely on tenterhooks. My blood was running cold as it was the first time I was breaking out of my shell and shedding a part of my so called "studious" image. Above all, I was the protagonist of the play. Pulling myself together, I delivered my monologue and the crowd went crazy, absolutely smitten by my acting. I also ended up receiving "Best Actress" award. At that moment , I was introduced to a new side of mine. I always thought that acting was a hard nut to crack for me but I DISCOVERED MYSELF that day. Same goes with my writing interest. Books are something that intrigue me a lot. But,writing was surely not my cup of tea, I used to think earlier. One day, I just happen to write something which was admired by all and so, I created this blog...

A MASK TO MASK THE REAL YOU!

Image
The sun climbed over the skyline. The rays streaming through the window, fell gently on Amit's face, disturbing him from deep sleep. After much wallowing in bed, he finally got up, already exhausted from the thought of going to a business party.  But, his despair melted down as he saw a huge shelf thrusted with books. His eyes gleamed and a wide smile, symbolising his love for books, flashed on his face, pushing away the sorrow. An hour later, Amit was all decked up, dressed up to the nines, sporting an immaculate black tuxedo, that he had apparently bought from his hard-earned money just to impress everyone. He looked in the mirror. Everything was perfect but, one thing was missing- the mask!  As soon as he put it on, he turned into the Amit of the people. The introvert and 'not a party lover' turned into a gregarious and a party person. The 'book lover' turned into the one who would say, "Books? How boring!". So, there Amit was at the pa...
