Are You Breathing or Are You Living?

Life sometimes hit us with moments, charged with pain that it makes our soul shudder and we end up wishing that life filled with all those cheerful moments isn't worth to live through this charged moment of sheer pain. But, fact is, we keep on living, ignoring the pain, try to cover it with diversions of work, wine and facade of a happy face, till there comes a time when we forget what it is actually that we are running from. So we turn to philosophy, religion and nature. We talk, search, contemplate to find answers, hoping that some wise words would cure us. But after hours of mental masturbation we come to the conclusion, which we already knew, deep in our hearts.

There is no escape.

We cover ourselves with gloomy clouds of unfulfilled dreams, desires and misunderstood emotions. We wait for the sun to clear the clouds, for tide of time to turn, for luck to change our fate but nothing happens except, aging.

Don't wait, grab the problems by its balls. Old age will happen, time will run out.

Shit and past are not meant to be treasured, but flushed. the longer it stays, the more it stinks.

Flush the past filled with regrets. Start all over. Death spared no one, it won't make an exception. Everyone feels messed up sometimes or other in their life, those who don't, haven't lived, only breathed air in an out.

If we learn to differentiate between breathing to survive and living to flourish, most problems would be solved.

Big Nothing

Are we so caught up in our fast tracked life for earning money to relieve our hard-on for materialistic desires that simple, innate fun of being alive, witnessing sunrise, admiring company of each other without saying a single word, seems like a fantasy in some comic book. Earth quake even the tiniest one shapes and reshapes, structure of planet and of people inhabiting it. Just like earth we are also warned with mild shock waves to restructure our life but we just don’t give a shit, until a major quake rips our life apart and by the time we realise it, game over! Don‘t worry, nobody is dead yet, except the little kid inside us who dreamt the impossible dreams. Most of us forget that we were kid once, full of hopes and serenity. Grownups have hopes, but of becoming something or someone. But kids have hopes of being not becoming, that’s the difference. Serenity is innate when we were kids but now we need an orgasm and gallons of alcohol to climb the ladder of serenity, that too momentarily. Embrace the kid inside us, keep him alive. He was there when you took your first step, makes sure he stays when you take your last step, otherwise the whole journey would sum up to... BIG NOTHING!

Desires of Heart

      Every moment passes by,
Makes my love blossom.

Every time my heart beats,
It sings only one name.

I can't say how sorry I am,

For not being there when you cried.
I’ll be with you through every step of life,

Give me a chance to set things right.

To go on an odyssey of our dreams,

It’s not as easy as it sounds,
but with you on my side,

We can and we shall live the life we want.
