aide-mémoire

Step and step over the ladder, hands trying hard not to loose the grip.
Self motivation and inner voice helped me to sail the hard time's ship.

No one heard the hearts cry as it was not easy to reach the shore.
Time heals the deepest wounds but marks still remain on the core.

Inspired by the most brilliant quote - "This too shall pass!!"
Stopped the thoughts from wreaking havoc n traversed the grass.

Journey was so long and feeble mind was not that bold
Choose the steps carefully as there was no one to hold

Its never easy to live rather spend each moment of life.
As the most difficult thing is not to strive but to live life.

Not a lost story

Terror and heat waves were present all around
Leave your own place was the only and only sound
Feeble toes were trying hard not to loose their own ground

Never ever imagined painful day changed their lives
Fond no food, no shelter, no cloth to let their existence survive
Started a struggle not for mere survival but to thrive.

Sweat and sacrifices started building a new pillar of hope
Perseverant kept trying without any support of rope
Brick over brick with their blood n water having not even a pinch of dope

Nourished the pillar with their love, strength, care n everything
Responsibilities and pressure tried to weaken tight cling
But strivers utilised their strength of mindful reasoning

Stood up like a brave fighter and tightened their hold
Against all odds, against all waves stood their pillar of gold
Always remember the sacrifices and struggle as it's not too old

Because you are child of Kashmiri Pandit- a proud Kashmiri Pandit!!
Love your father n mother who suffered to make your days bright!!

Shaken Belief!!

Sometimes somewhere in the dark, 
my shadow tries hard to leave a mark.

Free were my thoughts, free was my soul
Passionate voice always striving for a goal

honesty in my work gave me right orientation
motivation was guided by self-determination

Sweating removes salt and brings only sweetness
This was the concrete base of my preparedness.

Gone are the days when there was perseverance
Time actually makes it difficult to keep adherence.

Self-centric human always desiring to fulfil greed
would suddenly disappear when u will be in need

Shaken is my belief , faith is also under suspicion
but sincere efforts demand a lot of precision.

Exhausted I feel while maintaining this pace
my reflection questions- Am I lost in the race!!

Emptiness!!!

Dreams and goals faded in the blue
Trying to find something really new
Lost n puzzled mind walking on the dew
Searching someone from the list of few

Drizzling in the night shook off my mind
Shaking hands removed the cover of blind
Falling tears clearing vision to see the kind
Shady n suspicious image of none I find

Faded sky faded I brought in all the cup of emptiness
Change of a season, change of reason needed to fill this bowl of hollowness!!!
