"What next..?!"

Have you ever been excited about 'what next?'. The anticipation of something good, the adrenaline rush, the mysterious smile, the humming of songs when cooking, the slip of tongues and the OMGs. The entire excitement cycle is a vicious cycle of addiction to good feelings. Vicious as it doesn't let you think about anything else!

The little joys in life always were important to me. I believed that such joys actually make up our lives. The holding of a newborn in my arms, the walking in the drizzle, the bunking of classes, the stolen glances, the shy smile when complimented, the truth & dares, the "wake up dude"s, the coffee spills and so many such events fill up my everyday life. I don't see any other way to describe the best than life gives us. All of us have our own share of joy, grief and troubles but the way we deal with it makes the whole difference. If we don't stop appreciating the beauty that life has in giving us bright colors, fragrance of amazing flowers, the honey bees, the clear rivers and definitely a morning after every night, then life is always beautiful and worth living.

Even today, I am in anticipation of "what next". I think what difference will come about the next moment. What's going to make me happy? Will I hear from him or her? Can I be walking in the rain? I mean I am on the edge every minute. I have begun a small exercise. I wake up in the morning, think of all energy I have and train my mind to think good always. Always to think that whatever happens has something good in store and whatever I do will be good. I have reaped benefits.

Thus, next time you are confused, thoughtful or mindful, close your eyes, smile and think "What next?!". Think good...

"Dare to Dream"

The power of to maintain a constant freedom from unwanted thoughts and their impact so far has been my greatest discovery. Frequently in life, we have feelings that gnaw our brains. What do we do? We become anxious, paranoid and illogical in the process. We cannot think straight for a solution and blur our own visions. There's a saying that most complicated problems sometimes have the easiest solutions. How far is this true? No problem actually has an easy solution. The magic mantra that makes it easy is our outlook or perception of the problem. It is like the two banks of a river which never meet. We have to make our choices and always stick to them. Life doesn't give you enough chances but when it does, follow your heart. 


That's my attitude, it brings with itself uncountable number of difficulties and dislikes and it becomes suffocating most of the times. I was once a girl who thought about others or solving the world's problems. My bro would tell me, "You are not here on Earth to solve someone else's problems. You have a life and therefore your own purpose. Establish yourself before trying to save the world. You know what you want, I can see it, so go get it". I would argue that we shouldn't be selfish but today I can tell you from experience that you repent if you do not choose your calculated wants. I say calculated because you definitely need to weigh the pros and cons otherwise you would land up nowhere. 


The attitude is to dare to follow your dreams. You have to banish your fears and be different from the crowd, i.e., you have to be just yourself. Now, the other side of this change is that you are prone to make mistakes or make the wrong choice. I have made mine, have wept, have hated, have been depressed. However, I haven't given up and so I stand proud. I know I will make more mistakes but they will be wiser ones and I will learn yet other lessons to live through life. The journey of life when ends, I can be proud to say I have done my bit of good work, I have been without pretense and lived my life the way I wanted. 


Be different but careful, be yourself but righteous and have a heart that beats for love of yourself. Thoughts change into revolutionary ideas...!

"The Numbness of Voidness"

The chaotic ambiance,
The hustle of restless winds,
The impregnable persona,
O! The great Voidness.

Engulfing my purity,
Chomping through,
Creating a Bliss though.

Stillness yet roughness,
Casualty of an imagination,
Ascent of the goblins,
Fierce in its creative destruction.

Incandescence, volatile, catalytic,
The grotesque sprinkles of rain,
Feeling through my body,
Like lips of an unappeased lover,
Cuddling and fondling.

Impact of the wilderness,
I wonder if I were borne by,
The pregnant enigmatic Void!
