Drained to the last drop of fluid,
A bottle is emptied,
Thrown to unite itself with the rags on the pathways.
The cacophony of a long past eon,
Resound in the dungeons of unwanted memories.
The jittering noise of the many broken empty hearts
Vibes as ripples of shattering broken emptied bottles,
It resembles a familiar noise.
The cynical restless wind blows across
Eroding the softness of a blooming Lily,
It still stands and blooms in Glory,
Defying phantoms of fear and sorry.
O! The majestic splendor
I owe you my destiny.

"Random Complications of the Heart"
I am not going to give you any advice on low cholesterol nor am I going to tell you how you get a cardiac arrest. I am just going to talk about hearts as the source of feelings and the complications arising because it feels.
No matter how hard you try to free it from many bonds, it always remains clinging onto something or the other. Hermits and all those who abstain from worldly pleasures are also clinging onto the pleasure of their heart. How? They do not need money, love, family and all riches but they want to preach what they believe in and would love if others followed it.
Who knows what Love is!? This is a typical reaction from many a people in family or out of family for those who decide or wish to spend a life together. In India, Love is still considered a ‘taboo’. People don’t hesitate to kill their sons & daughters in the name of honor. Honor killing is just another name for butchering a person for your own ideas and convictions.
‘Caste System’ in India is more powerful than a government. No law in written prevents you from choosing your partner but caste prevents you to even look at another person with respect. I despise this system and I defy all manifestations of a high caste. All people can turn to be the best national hero if given the right opportunity. I have seen so many young kids living in the slums playing football like they were born to dribble it. I don’t say that all less privileged people are good or otherwise. I would just like to call on the conscience of people for treating others right. Love is not understood by people who have not been loved or have never loved unconditionally. It is that feeling that makes you feel worth living. Caste, creed, color, race or religion has no hand in it. It defies and denies to be bound. Two people can make a marriage successful only if they belong to each other regardless of it being a love marriage or an arranged marriage.
People have died to wipe out caste but even after 60 years of ‘Independence’ we are slaves of it. A person builds his life with his deeds and not his religion or color or caste. Respect, Admiration, Good deeds, Knowledge and Virtue are not born out of caste. You respect a teacher for imparting you with knowledge. Do you ever ask a teacher if his caste was that of yours?
I believe in what I have learnt from my education “Facta non Verba”. I am not the most ‘right-doer’ but I have 100% faith that I do abstain from wrong deeds. I define ‘wrong’ as those actions that harm others. You may now think, “What when lovers do their will and hurt their parents?” The difference exists if the person you chose is ‘blessed’ with a good character. You are bestowed with a brain and it should be used to figure out if he/she is worthy enough for you to stand a fight against your family.
I am told “It is not important who supports you because it is your life. Picture your life 10 years hence with or without family and then make a choice.” This particular advice is applicable not just for one situation but for all decisions you take in life. You should think the same when you choose a job, house, spouse and all important factors that are essential in sustaining life. Be Wise!
