Life - a precious gift

Life is not merely about creating a beginning for a new story, criticizing the theme or disclosing the climax. Reality of life lies in the uncertainties, willingness to change, making the best of present and enjoy the surprise that lies in store for future. 

Its all about living by our own choices, potential to change with motivation, to excel with self-esteem & pride. Things always change for the better when people listen to their inner voice. 

But unfortunately, we humans believe in opinion of others, we do not compete rather make excuses. Why to opt for self pity just because of some illogical arguments and views of others? Is life so long that we live by will of others, then regret and come back with shattered feelings to our holy soul; then apologize and decide to live for ourselves? I believe NO, because life is very short and every moment is precious. If we take chances and live by opinion of others, then life will never provide second chance. But if, we live by our choices and honor, life has too much to gift pleasantly. 

Time will never revert back, but we can learn from our past and make a better tomorrow.  

Life Moves On

इस जीवन में बैठे ठाले ऐसे भी क्षण आ जाते हैं,

जब हम अपने से ही अपनी बीती कहने लग जाते हैं;

तन खोया-खोया सा लगता है, 

मन उर्वर सा हो जाता है;

लगता है सुख-दुःख की स्मृतियों के कुछ बिखरे तार बुना डालूं, 

यूँ ही अकेलेपन में कुछ भाव-आभाव सुना डालूं; 

जो भी ज़ख्म भरना होगा, चलते-चलते भर जायेगा,

रास्ते में सोचने बैठे तो जीना दूभर हो जायेगा;

कवि की अपनी सीमाएं हैं, कहता जितना कह पता है,

कितना भी कह डाले लेकिन, अनकहा अधिक रह जाता है...

LIFE - a difference

Have you ever been to a beach or an island? If yes, you  might be aware of the beauty of huge roaring waves. But we forget to notice that, for years these waves have been confined in the boundaries of the dead ocean. They come to the shore, and return back, as the cannot flow in a new direction all by themselves.

We humans, sometimes feel so frustrated by the rules of  the society, just like waves. We feel like retaliating and move ahead in life-the way we want, but unfortunately its not always possible. This feeling is like 'a bird in a cage, trying to fly to the heights of the sky, but finally damaged its own feathers'.

We are not different if these thoughts come to our mind, but what actually makes the difference is:

• the will power to create a different world
• dare to dream and make a move to turn the dreams into reality
• to have the courage to succeed
• accepting facts - to take lesson for a better future
• keep moving ahead, with dedication to make a better life

Nobody promised life would be easy, but it surely gives us the best. Rewards of life are worth the efforts we make.

Ohhh.... its a moonless night, there is no beauty, no light;

the stars are all alone, no one cares for them...... --RAHI
