NOSTALGIA

When there’s nowhere to go,

Down the memory lane,

The only place we knew,

Is childhood, which was insane.

The only time, when time didn’t matter,

A mind free to think beyond restrictions,

A dream never meant to shatter,

A life to live without limitations.

We saw life in lifeless things,

Reasons always went to sleep,

Followed a path without any meanderings,

Joy came in within a leap.

We felt everything by heart,

No one was above or below,

Playing outside always felt ambient,

Goodnight lullaby’s sounded mellow.

A little portion of knee was always scarred,

The green grass was our ally,

Optimism is what we believed,

Ran together in a rally.

And now those times has gone far away,

Remembrance is what left of it,

As moments goes day by day,

I miss every bit of it.

L.O.C (LINE OF COURAGE)

While reading the newsletters, I’m not laughing,

Because when it gets tense, i know what might happen,

Going through every word freezes my bones,

As the stories about the people who never came back home.

Little i knew, about those braves so far,

Who risked their lives, beyond that par,

The only colour they could see was red,

Splashing out of the wounds of the dead.

With each drop of blood that touched the soil,

Which replaced the sweats of toil,

They said they were not scared of the enemies,

As much as they feared watching burning skies.

Picking up pieces of flesh in their own hometown,

By the time the daylight seemed to drown,

And as the night approached much more closer,

They all walked in band like brothers.

Echoes of bullets firing was the only thing they heard,

A slight hope of silence came but disappeared,

Terrified every moment as it got longer,

Longing for the war to end sooner.

Finally, the day of liberation arrived,

Moments of joy upon the faces of who survived,

And after such long break of happiness from which they were kept away,

Respect is the only thing they want, they say.

Arrogance and Ego

I'm pretty sure that we might have come across these two words in the world around us whether literally or metaphorically in a general discussion.  But what comes out as a great source of confusion is that they are one and same thing or are they different entities altogether. In my view, both are way different from each other.Speaking in language of youth, both of them are not so compatible.

Where does this come from?Well, arrogance comes from a person's over - confidence and ego is the results of one's self esteem.People tend to fuse them together when it comes to pride.They take one's assertiveness as their selfishness.That is the part where they get confused and mix them together.
As mentioned earlier , arrogance comes from confidence.When someone is very sure that stuff works their way and whatever ideas other have about the same thing is not appropriate, it creates an disgusting view. It takes the form of over - confidence and as a result we never  give value to other opinions. 

As for ego, self esteem is the source from where it grows. We begin to think that we are better off than others or we are superior and the world around us is inferior.Ego starts building up  in our mind and then comes a point when it takes an ugly form.
So, in the end, before I conclude, a simple yet interesting question arises, ''Should we have ego,arrogance or whatever you may call it?".I'll say have them all, but only in moderate quantities. Be sure of your abilities, but don't be overconfident. As for ego, know what your level is but don't create standards. That is the only to have them both and yet not harm your personality.

                       LAST SHOWER

                        In the remains of last shower,

                       That falls down upon the top of tower,

                      There's a reason i never know,

                     That comes from the far below.

 

                    There's an imbibation of emotion,

                   Which dries up soon without commotion,

                   As the last drop touch my skin,

                  The reason becomes clear of my sin.

 

                 Forgiveness isn't much of a boon,

                As the guilt comes too soon,

               Swallowing every fargment of my pride,

               Nothing seems to be on my stride.

 

             Time has come for the eventual sacrifice,

 

 

            

            For nothing could be simplified,

           The consequences could tear me apart,

          and no one could hear me chant.

 

          Looking outside the only windowpane,

         Any chance for explanation goes in vain,

        No one asks me to stay,

        as the sole gleam of life goes away.

 

        And now in my time of need,

       I put all the pieces in a heap,

      Drenching up in the last shower,

     and hope to clear all the memoirs.

 

 

                                                                          SOUL RENEWAL

                  On the way to the road untraveled,

                 There’s no chance for redemption,

                I’m trying to buy a new soul,

               Something that won’t get me drenched me up like this.

                    How did I get here?

                   No fragments to recall,

                   I’m withering in confusion,

                   No guidance at all.

                   There’s a feeling that goes soon,

                  Lighten up by each ray of moon,

                 And as the darkness comes closer,

                 Life tends to become much clearer.

               Dreams are the sole reality,

               Real world doesn’t seem so catchy,

              In meantime, the feeling comes back again,

              But is snatched away by the gleams of brightness.

             Hope is seen in midst of abyss,

             Waves clamber over each other,

            To find the truth of happiness,

            But it comes to those who are a believer.
