My Conversation With Death

Disclaimer: I just want to say that neither I am in any state of depression nor I feel that my life is such a waste. This post is all about my thoughts which I keep thinking to myself regularly. These thoughts help me to lead a better life as we all have only one Life to live. 

Who Are You? 

"Dear Death, I don't know how to start the conversation with you. Do I start by asking, how are you ? But then that would be a strange question right, asking Death how are you. You take away the answer to this question from others. Do you have feelings, I mean what kind of feelings. Almost every person on this earth don't like you, because you take away their lives and their dear ones. For some you give a hint as to when you are coming and for others you come as a surprise." 

Reflection of My Thoughts

When I looked at the Mirror, it said to me:

“You have been through a lot. In this treacherous journey of life you stand alone with your dreams and aspirations. Some people mocked at you and you proved them wrong. The day is not far when I see you rise and even if I am broken into pieces you should see the positive side of things. I reveal what you are rather what you want to be."

Time For a New Beginning

As we step into a new year, we can be sure that everyone would have learnt something important in the year 2012. No matter whatever has happened to you in 2012, good or bad, lets just accept that it was a great learning experience, at least for me.

There is always time for a new beginning. Time to start new things, which was not possible earlier. Let’s just start on a positive note, with positive thoughts in mind and believe that 2013 will be a good one.

Always believe that things will work out your way. Never give up on what you wanted to do. Yes, it is true that things may not and will not happen the way we want to, but we can all try in our own ways to make it happen. The power is with us. Just imagine, if only things happened the way we all wanted to, then there is no fun in living a Life. Life doesn’t excite you then, at least that’s what I feel. Let God decide what and how he wants us to learn things and we will all gear up for the challenge. Let him throw any difficulty and we will try our best to deal with it.

I Tried

When tears rolled down your eyes,

I tried to wipe it

When you needed a shoulder to lean on,

I tried to lend mine

When people mocked at you,

I tried to defend you

When negative thoughts clouded your mind,

I tried to make you look at the positive side of things

When you shared your sorrows,

I tried to sympathize with you

When you stayed far away,

I felt closer to you

When you felt there was none,

I tried to be that someone you needed

When you wanted to express your feelings,

I tried to suppress mine to listen to you

I may not be the ideal one you are looking for, 

But with all the flaws I have my friend, I tried.

"I" refers to each one of us who tried to be the best one for their friend, yet the other person didn't notice it or acknowledge it. You know how hard you tried but a friend of yours took you for granted. Every one would have faced this situation that at some point in time, you gave it all for your friend, even at your own cost, just to ensure that your friend stays happy or doesn't feel lonely.

Hey YOU, Soak No More In Others

Satisfy means, "to fulfill the desires, expectations, needs, or demands of a person, the mind, etc." (From Dictionary.com website)

These days when we hear the word Satisfy, it kind of gives a negative impression or at least an indication about the negativity in our minds. Considering the amount of cut throat competition we have today, everyone is stressed and each one of us is trying to satisfy someone or the other. Satisfying others is not such a bad thing, but when we do so at the cost of our happiness, our own self, we feel defeated, depressed and let down all the time. There is a long list of people whom we try to satisfy by not being able to live up to their expectations like colleagues, friends, relatives, strangers and whom not. But in the process of doing so, we forget to satisfy those who make a big difference to our lives. Everyone of us have this one statement that keeps striking our mind at some point of time and for some as a regular feature, "I am tired of satisfying others, enough is enough, it's my Life and I want to live it my way. Let others think what they want to."

The Pic & My Thoughts

As I sit and watch, there are only buildings that are visible. Far off, everything looks colorful. But closer to me I see only black and white. It may be the iPod charger, its beautiful screen which reflects my thoughts by playing my kind of music, the color of the Jar/Mug if I can call it to be, or the wordings "Karma.." written on it.
