When Dreams Come True

When You are Me and I am You

Quest

don't read it ... it's all about me ...

It’s only about me
Don’t read it
Selfish, I may sound
‘Cos I talk about me

I talk about me
Others, I refuse to see
I pretend to listen
This makes me happy

This makes me happy
Does it make others as well
I wish I could know
Could not care less

I could not care less
There’s tomorrow, I can’t see
It makes me anxious
Yesterday makes me weak

Yesterday makes me weak
In Now I feel strong
I make the most of it
Now is the music to life’s song

I am the music to my life’s song
Listen, even if I don’t
Listen, if I like
In my company, I can’t think beyond

I can’t think beyond
Its all about me…me…me…
Selfish I may sound
Don’t read it…

Unreasoned

8th hour
I wake up……..
Vulnerable, I become
It’s a one-way street
I am running
Away from me

9th hour
I envision …….
Beyond the offing
Beyond the blurred horizon
What is the direction
What is the destination

10th hour
I realize………
I don’t need a direction
I don’t need a destination
I have an ineffable feeling
An unreasoning passion

11th hour
I decide……….
What I fear much
What I long to feel
I close my eyes
I come back to me

ATTITUDE - You have it... wear it

The other day a friend of mine accused me of throwing attitude for what I have done/achieved/become. This was enough to agitate me and I got furious and started defending myself with crazy explanations.

I thought about it later and realized that my friend was right. Why was I angry then? Why was I defending myself?

Well... my friend was wrong in attaching reasons to my attitude. I throw, carry, show attitude not for what I have done/achieved and become but simply for what I am and what I do.

Yes I have an attitude and I wear it all the time. I carry it wherever I go. What’s wrong in it? Everyone has a right to throw attitude.

I wear it because I do what I like and what makes me happy even if it is at the cost of hurting others. And I do it all the time. Well….. my intention is never to hurt anyone though, if someone is hurt, it’s by their choice and not mine.

I live to make myself happy and I will do it for the rest of my life. If this is what attitude is all about, yes I wear, carry and throw attitude.

I don’t know about tomorrow, but today and now I throw ATTITUDE.

ATTITUDE….. its my decision and my choice.

Make the most of now

Let me write my own lines
Doesn't matter if words don’t rhyme
Let me sing my own song
Others’ can wait for some time




Let me dance to my own tune
Don’t bother me with any other sound
Let the music take me so high
That it’s my tune all around


Let me paint your picture
With me written all over it
Let me capture it in my eyes
It remains a secret… let it be

Let me make the most of now
Who cares… what’s gone by
Let me cherish this moment
Who cares… what’s ahead in time

Make the most of now

One life to live and love
One chance to be happy
One life to be yourself
One life…. just be

You create and own yourself
Its you who you face
You are in love with yourself
You owe yourself your space




You owe yourself your love
You owe yourself your smile
You owe yourself this world
You owe yourself your life

The love that you give yourself
Is the greatest love of all
Keep away from the crowd
Stand different…stand tall

Make the most of yourself
You know why… you know how
You owe yourself this moment
Make the most of now

Back to Black

Well..... I missed black truly, madly, deeply. Can't survive a day without it.

Background to the new background

Don't read too much into the new background. I just changed it to the first or probably second available template in the blog, only at the request of a friend. I am sure that I will switch to black soon. I can not survive without black. I have already started missing black. And I dedicate this copied poem to black. " Black is Beautiful"

I am What I am

I don't understand rules
I live life.... there's no end
I don't understand expectations
I am honest... never pretend

~~~

"The Stranger", "The Selfish"
Call me by whatever name
I am ahead of my time
I am what I am

Things I have Learned in My Life So Far

Just came across this fantastic website http://thingsihavelearnedinmylife.com/ (also a book written by Stefan Sagmeister). Stefan managed to learn twenty things so far. All listed in his website and the book. The author extends the same question to us:

What have you learned in your life so far? What is it that you are fairly sure about? What is it that you believe in by now?

Here's what I have learned:

Never lend books: Jacques Anatole François Thibault, AKA Anatole France, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1921, once said "Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent to me."

Say I love You Now: If you love someone ...... say it now.... don't wait for something to happen.....else, it will be too late.

"If you love someone, you say it, right then, out loud. Otherwise, the moment just passes you by"

Read "The Catcher in the Rye" by JD Salinger atleast once in your life: And you will realize that people in this world are superficial, or in Holden Caulfield's words, "phony. It remains the most censored book and the second most taught book in public schools in the United States.

Read "The Strangers" by Albert Camus atleast once in your life: Never display emotions that you do not feel, nor participates in social conventions requiring emotional dishonesty.

Be Honest .... Always: Have the guts to tell someone how crappy that person looks in a particular dress, if you really mean it.

Learn one musical instrument atleast: I don't feel like explaining this one.

Do not plan any important task between Dec 15 to Jan 15 if you are living in North India: These are the most unproductive days, thanks to the depressing weather around this time of the year.

Whatever happens…. happens as a result of our own choice. Every moment we live is a choice. We choose every moment.
