Brain
We think
In a blink
Some memories
Out with friends for a drink
Playing scrabble cleverly
Watching telly of documentary
What stays depend on our great cerebral vein
With accumulation of stories
Perhaps we can do summary
Pretty in pink or stink
In jeopardy
With a wink
Rethink

Mymind’s a place in

this world whose unrestricted

access I enjoy.

---

Mind! Enigma, magic, safe haven, an easy retreat, I don’t have enough words to glorify this wonderful creation.Our thoughts are the only things that can be controlled by us, or the ones that can control us. It can cook up a fear, or ease us out of any impending trouble. It can makes us to love or hate someone. “It’s all in the mind”, is a phrase worthy of mention, here.

We can appear sagely or aloof on the outside by being immersed in this cosy, our own go-to corner. An inbuilt corner within all of the beautiful creations of this planet. It’s that place we can choose to be ourselves without any inhibitions- crazy, happy, sad, peaceful, vengeful, angry, immature, you can pick any emotion to be.

There’s no fear of being pushed out of our own…

दिमाग़ कहता है बेवफ़ा हैं वो
नहीं मानता दिल उनका कुसूर
मुक़दमे में कौन जीतेगा दलील ।१।

वो रक़ीब से नज़दीकियां उनकी
सब कीं दिमाग़ ने दर्ज़ मगर
पूछे दिल क्या वे इतने अश्लील ।२।

हैं बहुत शातिर वे ,याद करे दिमाग़
उनकी सारी चालाकियाँ
माने दिल अब भी उनको नबील।३।

दिल कहे अमित मना ले उनको
पर रोक लेता है दिमाग
होना पड़ेगा फिर से ज़लील ।४।

mine, such a hard nut

Don’t feel the fall

It is in the darkest hour

that we search for all the facts.

The one time in your life

when it explains all your acts.

We look for the loved ones

who have hurt us in our life.

We hope it is not exposed

to be a husband or a wife.

When truth comes to light

and you can see it all,

remember that you asked for it,

Don’t feel a fall.

It is in the darkest hour

when my insides became my power

resilience and resolute both got tested

I found what my heart’s true quest is

It is in the darkest hour

I began to understand what’s important

what’s real and what’s fake

if I was zombie walking or been consciously awake

It is in the darkest hour…. of laboring

that I wrote and re-wrote my destiny

It is in the darkest hour that reason dawns, that hour of self doubt and confusion before enlightenment. Intuitively we stumble towards the truth, but become conflicted with the world’s unreasoning hysterical chatter. So we wrestle with our insecurities and try to separate the wheat from the chaff.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates

I have been wrestling with the merits of the youth movement that seems to be taking the developed world by storm in the last few months. Left leaning political parties are advocating for the voting age to be lowered to sixteen. Students are protesting in the U.S. on gun control due to the horrific shooting at U.S. schools. Students are striking from educational studies to protest lack of climate change action. Five students are suing the Canadian government for the lack of a sufficient…

जब रात होती है सबसे स्याह
होती नहीं आशा की किरण
बन कर जुगनू आती हो तुम

जब जीवन लगने लगे वीरान
अर्थहीन, नीरस और रंगहीन
बन कर ख़ुशबू आती हो तुम

दिन भर की आपाधापी में
मिलते हैं कितने ही आघात
बन कर चन्दन आती हो तुम

नहीं रहे जब कोई पूर्वाग्रह
हो चुका हूँ सपनों से आज़ाद
बन कर बंधन आती हो तुम

I celebrate Now
Glad my life is wonderful
A sky of candles

it is in the darkest hour

that Light is embraced
