If I..

Friends.

When you are alone and you’re depressed , you always know that out there someone is there to help you get up, to make you feel happy again. You can share everything with your friends. They hardly care, about themselves and stand up for you. They act as your spine. They don’t care whether you earn 1 rupee to 1 lakh or you earn nothing. No discrimination is allowed when you are a part of friendship. Stand up for your friends too, because they need you to comfort them sometimes too. They need someone to listen to them , without questioning them. 

BEACH GIRL

There was this girl,

I saw that day.

Running along the shore,

Running as she may.

She was beautiful,

She was different.

The Sun seemed to reflect her shine,

All eyes were on her, even mine.

She felt like the winds,

Soaring to meet the waves.

She was like the sand,

Wet and warm.

All the assumptions I made,

Must have been true.

I never heard her speak,

But it must have been like flute.

I remember I tried to catch her,

Like a butterfly floating in a garden.

I tried to follow her,

But sadly lost her trace.

She disappeared in the waves of sunlight,

And the sparkles of water saline.

She must have been a thought,

But the prettiest I've ever got.

-Vaishnavi Singh

You can always start over with things- wrote something wrong? Start over. Ruined a project? Start over. But how do you start over with a faulted friendship? Can you start over, as if nothing happened before? How do you state the facts? How can you know when things started to go wrong? How do you know when the other person switched off along the way, while you were busy telling things, which are nothing if not truth? How could you start over?

The picture seemed beautiful, so I just wrote what I thought.❤️😚 This gave me a feel, very soothing. Seeing the picture and reading what's written. The painting is not done by me, credit to the owner.❤️

True meaning of LIFE-

Have you ever thought that whether are we really living a LIFE, like we should?

For me the answer is “NO”. Our daily lives today are bound to offices, schools, studies, jobs, computers, mobiles and so on, but it is not what it should be. We humans are able to express our feelings like we want to, but, we are not using that power are we?

In our daily rush we forget to take care of things that are far very important than things like mobiles, computers, X-Boxes and televisions.

There are things more worthy of our valuable attention like, nature, animals, birds, etc. but do you think that are we doing our part? Our life has become a play, where we HUMANS act like dummies who have forgot about feelings and relationships completely. I believe animals would surely say, “Humans please behave like you should, because we also don’t act like sometimes you do!” Faking emotions isn’t right, is it?  Of course it is not, it is just like fooling yourself,wearing a mask on your face. I think we have done enough for technology an now it’s time for ourselves, family, friends and all others. Enough of playing MINECRAFT and ROBOLOX and all the other games, let’s play what we used to in an open airy ground. I think it’s time to cuddle a living being, whether it is a pet, an animal or a human. Because of technology people became close but their hearts went very far away from each other, let’s bring them back. We are just becoming enemies of our own eyes exposing them to such radiation and bright lights, let’s give them a break, a treat with a beautiful view of nature, that comes free. Why are we being so greedy!? Even a lion never attacks when it’s not hungry, then why are we so greedy for everything? I suppose our lives are going on pretty well even without a PALACE or a BMW. Humans are social animals, let’s not get caged with things that worth nothing. Let’s socialize again, not on social media but a in a real society. 

The problem is that we try to seek happiness in money and promotions and we completely neglect that the best things we can get out of life, are all free. They are provided to each and everyone of us. We just too busy to notice them maybe. Remember when you last admired the starry night outside? No? 

Let’s pause, just for a second, think that are we really living a LIFE? Take a deep breath look around and you’ll soon get to know that the best things never left you, they were there, all this time and you just never noticed. Neglect the things that deserve to be , not your life.

LIFE IS MEANT TO LIVED AND NOT NEGLECTED.

The Girl Who Found Herself

*Scene at her office*

*A girl with a fragile body, pale lips and thin fingers is working, completing a file which seems as if it is the last one because no other file can be seen on her desk. Suddenly, there is a sound *Dham* and she looks up. She saw her senior standing on the other side of her desk resting his hands on the latest heap of files that he seemingly he had brought for her. She looked at the pile and then she looked at the clock which was showing 4:45 p.m. She turned back to her senior to say that it was already too late and that the office time was about to get over but he had already left. She could only hear his commanding voice as he walked out of the office, "Boss wants these at his table first thing tomorrow morning!" She sighs and starts working again.*

*Time Skip*

She looks up and it's already 9:00 p.m. 🕘 she packs up everything and leaves.

*Cut *

She guided herself to her house. After climbing the stairs to the second floor really carefully she opens the door to her house. The lift was as always out of service when she needed it the most.

*At her house*

With a loud *bang* the door closed. There was a loud *thud* and there was a girl sitting on the floor looking at how everything was scattered. Papers were all over the floor. She looked as if she would break down any moment. Frustrated, she sat and started picking up the papers lazily. After she was done, she was still sitting there but it seemed that this made no difference. But, it just worsened the condition, as in front of her there was a smiling photo of her. Smiling as if it was her, who owned the world. The girl in the picture looked really happy, really healthy and her skin was glowing so much that one would be needing sunglasses to look at her. The girl in the photo was just her younger self. But the girl who was now looking at the photo was completely different. She reached out for the frame and threw it away.

The glass shattered into pieces but the girl's smile in the photo did not fade. She came back to her senses; she picked up the pile of papers and placed them on the desk. "Really? They call this little work!? I am not able to do the work on time! My files are incomplete! Don't they see the number of papers in each file!? I skip my meals, my house is a total mess and neither I am able to find time for myself. I just sit there trying to complete everything, and as much as I can! Still they are not happy! What should I even do? What do I do!?" She was thinking while cleaning up her room. Tears started to roll down from her angelic looking eyes and she said out loud in a shaky voice, "Even tears are allowed to escape but I am not even allowed to walk away from all of this even for just a second." Then she saw something which made happy as well as sad. There were a lot of paintings kept carelessly but it was not the paintings that caught her attention, the thing she noticed was a painting of a night sky, a beautiful painting but it was left incomplete. She saw brushes of all kinds lying there, stiff because the paint hasn't been washed off. She picked up the brushes and saw her colour palette still full of dried colours. She was now not paying attention towards anything else. She looked out of the window and to her utter amazement the night sky outside was exactly the same as the painting on her canvas. A wave of excitement rushed through her. She started painting and completed it within an hour. She completed her dream which was incomplete and in fact she completed the missing part of herself too. Now her path was clear. The next day she resigned and got herself a spot in the city’s best Art Gallery. She now did what she loved and followed her way to the destiny which she wanted to reach since she was a mere child. She now was a professional artist. So at last, that girl finally found herself in a way she would have never imagined.

-Vaishnavi Singh.

“A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

— Roald Dahl

It’s just a matter of time

What is a matter of time?

The ting that goes on

and never ends?

In a matter of time

You see a sapling turn to a great big tree.

You see an egg hatch into a bird, chirping on that tree.

It’s only a matter of time- and,

you’ll see a million of changes around.

Your shoe doesn’t seems to fit you any long.

In a matter of time,

you start smiling

after when you were crying.

The world keeps changing around.

The period when you were a child has gone and

now you are young and much strong.

And you soon, realize, it’s just a matter of TIME...

“Make yourself so happy so that when others look at you they become happy, too.”
