Give it a try!

"I am scared,"he shivered.
"Don't be until you give it a try! Face things with confidence and only then you will reach heights. No matter whether its success or failure, trying itself is an achievement!," told his mother.

Face it!

Fearing fear is not the solution, facing it with courage is!

Choice!

"I'm confused.I don't know what's running in my head.Am I being normal or not?I don't know. People talk to me,my closed ones love me of course and they try to bring me back to normal but....but I know something's wrong! Something that I am worrying about or I don't know how to put in words. All I know right now is, I have two options: to accept or to forget. I cry but I find it meaningless. Friends and my loved ones try to console me, but does it make any difference? I'm scared! I'm totally scared", she wrote in her diary.

#JuneInFocus Day 30


Walking down the streets alone,
I found myself hooked to darkness, 
Away from the strenuous rules of the society,
and away from the tiring words I hear,
Of the voices in my head that instructs me to behave a certain way,
I really don't know where things are heading to.
In this moment of light-headed freedom that I stole away the world,
Yet, fear floods my nerve of all things that could go wrong!
For aren't we taught darkness is the time of evil?
Do I really have a way to escape,
From the voices in my heart and fears stocked inside?
I search for floodgates of intuition
To throw in light and help me see a way through it all!
Ah!This makes me think,
about me and my life.
Where is this heading to?
I don't know it right.
But beside all this confusion brewing in my heart,
I see light, I see tunnels and in a way,
I have come to embrace the darkness
In the sky and the darkness hidden in my heart.
Do I really have a way to escape,
I wondered.
And I did find a way out of the lot!
Maybe I should stop looking out,
For a way to escape, but to embrace it all!
Good or bad, as whatever you say,
Everything has a beauty and reason,
Of its own and is here to stay!

#JuneInFocus Day 29


The days of greenery are gone,
With the heap of machinery on,
Days and nights go slow,
With no emotions undertow.
The hardships people face everyday,
Only seem to increase even if persay;
Where is our land heading to?
To dust with living set for whom?
More and more stories we hear now and then,
Seem only interesting when from nature's den.
All done and dusted,
Thrown away as simple as iron rusted.
What solution do we have now?
But to save what we have with an unbreakable vow.

#JuneInFocus Day 27


Drops run down my window pane,
here,there and everywhere in the lane;
Umbrellas I see outside,
high over their heads
as they search for a place to hide;
Lush greenery all around,
as the rain pours on the ground.
"Oh!How beautiful it is,"
I wonder and surrender myself,
to the beauty of nature.

#JuneInFocus Day 26


Little children running around,
Tall buildings towering over.
Happy dreams fill them with joy,
The sad reality running towards them.

#JuneInFocus
Day 13

The wind is still,
The trees stand motionless,
The place is quiet,
haunting me inside.
I look around,
no one in sight;
I laugh,
I scream,
And no one to guide.
I manage to live,
with silence and tears,
No one knows,
except myself.
I manage to live,
hoping to escape
from this solitude within me.

#JuneInFocus
Day 11

Long distances I travel,
I know;
To look at your shining eyes,
that say a million things;
To see your beautiful smile,
to etch in my heart life long;
To hold your hand,
to live the moment;
To cherish every minute
Of my life with you.
Though we are miles apart,
I can feel you next to me.
Happiness or sorrow,
Sweet or bitter,
Nothing without you.
You're my everything!

Bright as fire,
Calm as a river,
Strong as iron,
Loving as a god,
She is capable of all.

Leaves falling
Fleeting memories
Escaping through the gaps between our entwined fingers.

Upon the table is a melting treat,
chocolate syrup dripping on it,
decorated with gems and kit-kat,
Are you sure,you want it?
The flavor so yummy
Chocolate,vanilla and creamy,
Oh!This is a dream to my tummy?
Incredibly tasty and sweet,
This creamy dessert is a treat.
The recipe to happiness is this!
Hungry,are you?
Of course!

The varied colours we see,
around in the market and in dreams,
splendid and eye-capturing,
which will you choose from these?
Red,white,yellow and purple,
Green,blue,silver and gold...
Wind away the thoughts 
go around places,
and explore these colours in life.

Drops of dew
On the leaves,"whew!";
Sunlight hitting straight,
Breeze whispering in delight;
The day is fresh as new
And my camera tries
To Capture scenic picturesque.

#JuneInFocus Day#3


The problems in life
can be solved,
The darkness at night
becomes bright the next morning.
Make your way
to cross the path of
thorns and roses.
And remember,
There's a light
In every darkness.

As the sun set,
As the bird's flew back home,
As the lights were turned on,
As the sky turned dark,
I sat in the terrace,
Thinking of you!

Day#1

The wind whirled,
The withered leaves
fell on ground,
The untold stories
lay still,
Only in my heart
just like the fallen leaves.
