Sparkling sand in blazing sunshine
Putting every head into a whirlwind
Dozy a little lousy
With a hat on like howdy
Going on and on,
Slowly but steadily
Seeking a shelter in far sight
Seems like a river
Mirror reflections
Suddenly got everyone's attention
Is this real or just an illusion
Or just another Mirage in action,
Whatever it is
It's still instilling hope
And motivation
To carry on and on,,

False Hope : Still A possitive Determinant

Differences in everyone’s personality ( thoughts and values)
I think people doesn’t understand that everyone has a different personality which owes to differences in their thoughts, perspectives and importance of different things.
Everyone think that what he /she thinks and does is only right way of doing things or living the life. But then we ignore the fact that same situations and circumstances have different effects on different people. Someone might be enjoying a situation while someone else might feel it suffocating at same time.
I think people lack the right approach of understanding.

Experiences! Still counting on
I feel whatever I think, believe , have faith in and share with others now, is all because of experiences i have been through different times of my life. I won’t be able to narrate exact narrative but I will share key pointers.
First and foremost is living an unexpected life which often felt like against/opposite to all the plans and wishes I have made. It was mostly like that and then led me to learn how to accept the life and it’s happenings with grace and live in and love the present moment.
I used to repent, get frustrated a lot for so many things i wanted and couldn’t get, the way I wanted to live the life but i couldn’t and so on and on…. But then though, I learnt it hard way that life has its own course to follow and whether we stop or keep walking with it, it never stops. By stopping for a long we are stopping only our learnings of life which anyways it will teach us.
Secondly, experiences of many solo travels i undertook, changed and shaped my life too. It widens my thinking horizon and then I was able to understand that problems are part of life like mountains we need to climb to overcome them and then see the beauty of world from above before starting the next one.

No matter what life goes on,,
The passage of life has changed some and strengthen some of my perspectives about life.
At some point of time,The things which seemed to be so important for my happiness or even survival, and when life has taken them away from me , it proved me wrong and life went on as it goes on here I am even more at peace than ever.
There were some perspectives about life which were quite unorthodox to usual people’ s way of thinking and acting in the so called social life , and I felt It will be so unfair to me and my instincts if I leave them to follow what’s considered right. So, i decided to follow my heart and instincts no matter what , faced criticism with some frustration in start and later on with smile, and now I am known for who I am.
So as the life went on, i learnt one thing that it never let us teaching and it follows its own course as it has to. Whatever it has given us or taken away from us, it will also give the strength to bear it’s burnt or enjoy the pleasure of it. Best it to be silent watchful spectator and understand it’s experiences by going through them gracefully unhinderedly. That way has the peace of mind in the journey itself rather than at some destination. And when our mind is at peace, that’s best version of life one can imagine of living.

Complaining – part of human nature
Complaining is a part of human nature and it has become stronger one, because of our vivid expectations and then vivid life situations which mostly stands out at different sides,,
Both of them are living as closer in someone’s life , lesser are his/her complaints and more distant they goes , the complaints multiply.
No matter what, humans are always complaining sometimes lesser sometimes more. Because our desires , expectations and wishes too multiply with our sensory experiences of this world. So even if one has got what he wanted he must be complaining for things he doesn’t have which he now want to have.
I have been too going through this process, Still i complain,, but I think now i don’t complain much about materialistic things , i only feel disturbed when something or someone unavoidable takes away my peace of mind.

An illusive fwd journey to backwards
In this war of dominance,
Somehow we set journey on wrong path,
It should have been the path working upon poverty , equality and development,
And somehow we set course on religious fervent,
Where this tug of war will lead us?
I think this very foolish quest will badly beat us,
Who is talking about real issues?
Everyone is trying to create some kind of illusion,
To blindfold masses in array of attractive but unreasonable quest,
Making them to be a part of this bullshit push and pull heist,
Someone trying to behold God as himself being the one,
Someone trying to quash such claims as out of any religious book,
Who will win and who will lose?
Will it even make any real effect in our living standard?
Hope everyone will ask same question from self,
Before joining and pacing up the race with those invisible bullies,,,
With the hope of seeing light at the end of tunnel,
It’s pushing us backwards to even darker phase we already crossed,,
Who needs religion if he considers himself a human!
Doesn’t humanity holds enough ground against all derivations of religion?
I Hope everyone just try once,
To feel humanity in themselves,
And all the issues will be addressed on itself,,
I hope atleast all those forces trying to high jack ,
Breaks apart soon and let the journey in the right direction to begin,,

Introspecting and applying it’s outcome effectively
A lot of things clutters’ the life,,
Too much day dreaming about future especially and then associated insecurities, fears about our future propositions
A lot of thinking about things which are not in our control
And most affecting is caring too much about others’ perception and thinking about us. An unwanted compulsion we feel of acceptance of our says, thoughts etc by others,
All of these distract our focus and peace of mind and the way out I think is introspection and it’s effective application to avoid things which are inducing only negative influence on us ,,

Provoked !! Yet enlightened,, Thanks
In those darkest moments,
When everyone was prophesying,
And everyone was onto me scratching,
To let the last drop of emotions,
Get dried up and bathe in sunlight,
I think everyone forgot dual effect of the scorching heat of Sunlight,
If it can dry then it can also melt the molten elements,
And everyone forgot I am made of molten materials,
And so are my emotions,
As much someone tried to soak them up,
It turned more into liquid form to flow freely,
Without any hindrance and blockade,
Carefree and shapeless,
Of anyone’s perception and impression,
Now if I am insensitive to those provoking voices,
I feel more emotional to my inner callings ,,
