Let Go, Let Grow!

By


I always wondered that freedom came with responsibility, and can vouch for that staying away from home for 6 years. Difficult yes, but not impossible it was. Being independent, standing up on you feet and getting on to your toes to face the challenges. Struggles and odds were part but that never stopped me from going ahead. There are no regrets, these are learnings and mistakes you don’t repeat and move on, if I look back I cherish the good times, the ugly past makes me stagnant and how can I grow.

So used to being with myself, it’s not just being in love or obsessed with myself. I learnt the tricks of the trade, well I’m here to love what I do and then make money for my survival. If my passion becomes my profession, I have no interests left. Painting, music, song, dance, writing, oratory, movies, internet, experimenting with making and binging on food & desserts and I’m still slim and healthy. Diseases are all in the mindset-mental, psychological, emotional. I’m physically present to be at work, but am I peaceful from within. A break, change or switchover was a must. Decisions are individual, but it can impact one’s world. I had to see financial growth, health, family, personal time, social life and then work is a part of life, not life itself.

Trips and falls have happened while choosing a career or partner, that doesn’t change the ball game. The teams change, the battleground, the scores, the uniforms, what is important I play not just to win and but to stand there proudly in awe that I’m no coward to escape. The encounters in life taught me to lay my sorrows down and move on smilingly, within and outwardly feeling and transmitting the joy around. When I’m noticed by long lost folks, they feel I’ve pulled down, lost awesome hair texture, sun darkened face and all lost.

I’ve avoided them that they are least concerned, but they want some news that I’m not in the right place. A couple of good interests to pursue, faithful friends and my interactions with the One above, I had my hands overflowing with life abundant. I had lots to do, discover, travel, write a book/play, scream over roller-coasters, shout at mountain tops, sea & sky diving, dancing in the rain, playing my keys, composing notes. And why not there’s more to than just get hooked, booked and cooked. Well, if destiny comes with commitment and freebie babies, I’m not letting down my passions, it’s just priority and sacrifice and the support of what your identity is.

Letting go of those hurdles and deepest desires that was never meant for me, I’ve accepted that the best was, is and will be kept for me if I strive to be faithful and patient in my pursuits. There’s nothing wrong, I’m not lonely, I’m satisfied. A single pure life isn’t meant to be wasted, I’m no saint, I’m human. If I let go, I let grow. If not full of surprise, what is life…Life is short they say, for me what’s in store, if death, why die now. Slowly but steadily I love sweet victory, not that the rest remain subdues, but rise waking them up. It’s not just selfishness, it’s selflessness. I’m sure I’m not wrong, my guesses so strong. Without any help I’m on my own, before or after you I’m still living my own. I’m not leaning against the wall, I answer when He calls. This is the life and so be it, I know my own don’t agree, but I’m confident I climbed the tree. And that’s all because I left the bygones and started anew, afresh and silly, it’s not the end.

Where’s thy neighbour?

There was a time when we had open doors, Open hearts and open minds, To see the kids go to school and drenched in rain To see them play and shout and scream And teach them baby steps and see them grow We had no elevators, but slow steps to progress And came together to celebrate new beginnings And stand in times of distress and need It wasn’t just one community, one race But never-ending unfathomable grace Soon to realize we lost our near ones Till soon some birds flew from their nest How could aged parents rest Their worries knew no end We did what we could best There stood some silence in quest We will always wish and pray To hope someday a golden ray Cheerful hearts would one day unfold We had many but now few hands to hold Every time we watch and listen How the birds came to chirp and sing The rain, quake and stormy weather We stood together like birds of a feather To our surprise and solemn promise Change is evident and the only constant Drifted away but yet connected We tried ...

Positively Magnified

Running life’s race Rushing in circle When disaster strikes Life moves at a slower pace All plans come to a standstill The very situation That has its twists and turns Sudden lives slaughter Death returns The contagious spread All over the globe A hidden mystery A story untold   Behind the masks Hides all our tasks Hands that carry that cure Hands that carry the coffin Hands that extend their help Hands that are cleansed and cared Losing lives and find one Leads to pathways Unexpected and withdrawn Something was discovered A ray of hope that shone And now the entire mayhem Is positively magnified!

The Upbringing

By

It makes me think the worth of being brought up well. A parent’s duty, an orphan’s necessity. Even children born are deprived of it. Is it just material wealth, food, shelter, clothes-I wonder. I ponder over those giving birth to children, but have failed in their duties to give them the right kind of upbringing. Parents are over concerned about their children, and why not, after all their parents. Over protective and will do whatever they can, even yield to their stubbornness. But yet devoid of that love and understanding. I have come across my pals who have been forced to take up careers and marry the person of their parent’s choice. Parents have failed to understand that they try to fulfill their incomplete needs, which they haven’t been able to achieve in their life and now do so through their children. A child’s needs, aspirations, abilities and interests are killed. They suffer from depression and succumb to addictions where they seek love and attention. A child is broken lik...

Moronic Versus

How ironic to be moronic! When morons rule us at our workplace, it’s tough to stick on. I call it pulling along, struggles and debates on proving one’s worth. To have courage and take a stand, take no blame for doing what is right. The true reason of unemployment is that well qualified, experienced and confident individuals are facing the challenge everyday. The financial security, responsibility and a status of reputed brand, pay package and profile is the concern. A large number of them churning out of B-Schools and attending interviews, stiff competition ahead and guaranteed placements through college isn’t enough. Stress control, deadlines, pressures and dominance make it hard for one to survive. All I need is to learn to deal. The rudeness, the demands and all that expectation of what I’m not is so irritating, that bogged down even before attempts stagnates thinking and growth. A negative sign of why people at executive levels are hard-working than the top bosses. Senior level ma...
