Wanderer

Wandering aimlessly searching for where to go
When you feel you reached your destination
You have to stop the search there
If you dont stop or you are not welcome there
You will always be a wandering soul
Without finding the inner peace. 

Oasis

When you wander in a desert searching for the elixir
From the distance you will find an oasis waiting for you
An oasis which is going to satiate all your thirst
An oasis which will welcome you with all its heart
An oasis you finally call it as your home
With all your energy you go towards that 
believing you finally reached your destiny. 
When you are near to it, and if it is yours
You will exhilirate and immerse yourself there
Finally resting at the place you belong. 
But if it is just a mirage
You will lose all your energy to travel further
You just let the desert subsume you 
and become part of the desert you want to escape

Dignity in dying


We all strive to lead a dignified life
Dignity plays a major role in our day to day life
Dignity in earning
Dignity in relationships
Dignity in growing old

When we grow old
When our health doesn't cooperate
When we require others for basic bodily needs
When we lost all hope for an independent life
When we are at the mercy of others
The dignity is stripped away layer by layer
And 
We are left naked, both body and soul. 

So where is dignity in dying? 
Is it embracing death contently
That I lived mine and you live yours. 
Is this the way of showing dignity to the living
that the end is not fearful. 


Caregivers

We ensure that we emphasize
The dignity while living.
But what about
Dignity in dying?

Why we are reluctant to 
Send our dear ones in a dignified way
Why we just prolong their life? 
Which is Invasive and painful to them

Why We are unable to let them go? 

Are we unable to cut the emotional bonding
Or
Are we emotionally stable by holding on to them
Or 
Our life's meaning is dependent on them
Or 
Are we conditioned to feel guilty for letting them go

Why can't we make their last journey
Painless, dignified, emotinally less draining and soul enriching to them as well us. 
Dignity in dying is as important as dignity in living

Why Am I?

Why am i?
You may think you have been dealt a bad deck
You may think you got a rough road to travel
You may think you have to suffer at every turn.
But but but 
Just keep it in mind
You have a strong will to withstand strong headwinds
You have the warmest heart to weather all challenges
You have the brightest smile to face the toughest situation 
Above all you are surrounded with best of people to pick you up when you are down
Look up
Get up
Cheer up
You are the best,
You will be the happiest
Love the life as if there is no tomorrow
You will be like a bright sunshine to those who seek warmth and love

Unsaid Goodbyes - 2

It all starts with late replies
Then less chats and crisp calls
And finally no replies.
In the age of instant messages
and
Always on data packs
If someone is not replying
then they are not busy
But just avoiding you.
Better to leave with good memories
Rather than lose sleep over it.

Unsaid Goodbyes - 1

It all starts with late reply.
I was busy, no network
All excuses are thrown around freely
Then less chats and crisp calls
And finally no replies.
You will be wondering
What went wrong.
There was no indication that
The friendship was on the brink
But then i realised
It is simply that the path we travelled ends here and 
we have to go our separate ways.
 Our lives crosses with others
for certain purposes
Once that is fulfilled
We have to leave each other
Either with good memories or lessons.

Without You

What's your point of living?
Any of us can discard you. 
As just a mortal, 
im just thinking of junking you 
from my vocabulary and my mind. 
You thought you can always find a way 
in my mind and words.
You thought i cannot put anything in writing without you and your spirit. 
I also bought the notion 
how can i do it without you. 
But alas, 
what a wrongful thought it was. 
Im not going to allow it, 
Im going to try living without you. 
Not just living, 
im looking forward for thriving without you. 
From this point you will go away, 
far away from this spot, 
from this paragraph 
and 
finally from my mind.
