Only Shadow Stayed with me ! – A Poem
Forgot to smile with life
Eyes don’t have tears left
Mind kept throbbing inside
Trying to convey in vain
Death came closer as I feel
Only shadow stayed with me
Kept creeping in to my soul
Even dreams saying bid to me
Wandered alone up and down
In lonely streets of life, I know
Days turned to dark nights
Only shadow stayed with me

Feet felt cold when I start walking
Rain drops fall to write stories
The footprints imprint I saw
Get washed away in rain as I create
One life not enough to learn mysteries
Only shadow stayed with me
Mind burn in fire leaving pain
Looking up skies move farther
Who will give wings to reach high
Just like arrows pain strike the heart
Hoping to bloom like a flower again
Only shadow stayed with me

Money and Respect with Fame= Happiness?
The heading is not mine. I took that out from Sushant Singh Rajput’s words. The myth we as youngsters believed. I also fell for it for a long period of time during my college days. Our society we grow up in India for many reasons believe this. I don’t blame them. Those who grow up in poverty, they only see the glamour of rich people. For them the life they see outside is always happiness. How they attain is what they don’t have- Money.

Parents who suffered during their childhood always thought, money is earned by becoming a doctor or an engineer. For them it is the truth. Those who were doing other jobs are not meeting their basic needs. Plumbers, electricians, Rickshaw drivers all struggled to provide food for their family daily. Can we really blame them? No. But what we can do now is to change the society to think differently. Past what our parents went through, for them it is right. They did what they did. Now it is our turn to change and adapt to save our kids.
The new generation like us, we need to be the force of change. Yet, I see people like Sushant struggled. We need to learn from his struggles and be the part to educate our society to think differently. When we run around to push our kids to see only through our eyes, we are making mistakes. We should let them see the world from their eyes. Give them the freedom of thinking. Let them do what they are best at. Don’t push them to do what they don’t believe in. Let them fail, so they will stand up and walk forward. Let them make mistakes, so they can correct themselves. Don’t falter them when they don’t excel in something, Guide them.

The kids who are forced to groom by others dreams always crumble when life takes a turn. They never acted themselves. They always moved according to an authoritative figures instructions. Could be a parent, or a teacher. They live in this bubble of insecurities. Once it is gone, they take shelter in suicide. Sad, but truth.
Only solution I see here is to deviate our traditional thoughts on success. No job out there has more status than any others. All job is needed for the society and respect the person. Do not give more respect to a doctor or engineer compared to a cleaner. They all are needed for the well being of human race. Money should be never a factor for happiness. Pay the people who did the job. Do not DE-value the work they did. Doctors don’t need extra pay other than their salary. Stop giving them extra fees and make that gap of poverty even more higher. Stop paying bribes to certain officers. Think differently. You be the movement. Save our future.

Human Mind- Hackable?
Human mind- no one know where is it or what is it? Yet, We all speak about our minds. When we think, we can feel in our brains a machine is running. Is that our mind? When we think sometimes our heart feels heavy. Is that our mind? When we love, we feel energy flowing between ourselves. Is that our mind? Who really knows. No one. May be we could refer mind to GOD.
Can I our minds hackable? A wierd thought came to my mind today when I was listening to a radio show. It was fascinating to me, what he said about an experiment someone did somewhere. Sorry, I am getting old, I cannot remember what that experiment is named. Disclosure statement, this idea is not mine. I will not take credit for this. However I thought, it is a nice angle to hear it out.
A lady walked in to a room for a scheduled meeting. All the people there except her are actors. She sat down waiting for her turn to go in to the meeting room. Few minutes later a beep sound heard from the intercom. All the attendees there got up stand for a moment and sat down except the lady. Few minutes passed by, another beep. The people stood up and sat after a moment. Lady seems confused, but no one talked. The third time the beeped, She also stood up with them and sat down after a moment. The meeting started, one by one they got called. The beeping also occurred regularly all stoop up including the lady. They never talked to each other. Then the moment came she was alone there. She continued to do the ritual. Then a few other people joined her in the waiting room.

Beep- the sound came and the lady stood up and sat down after a moment. The people just walked in are not actor. They looked at each other and wondered what was happening. But no one really asked or questioned lady. Second beep came. She did the same. This time a few people joined. You could see some talking to each other wondering, but no one stopped any one. By the forth time beep came, they all stood up. The experiment concludes there. Yes, human minds can be hackable.
Now, my take on it. I thought about it for a while. In fact my morning drive, I found this very interesting and I could see many things happened in our lives like this. Our minds adapt very easily. For example, when we go to temple, we see some one else doing a ritual and we follow that assuming that is right way to do it. When we go for a meeting, we dress up like everyone else do, assuming that is the way it supposed to be.
Our kids, they do a lot of their chores just like their parents do. Why is that, their minds are hacked by our ways. We eat food the way our parents and grand parents did. We follow our bosses on a lot of ways at work. When ten people start to say this movie is good, we also follow the suit. We tend to say, the movie is good even though you did not enjoy it. We are told, do this, your book will get noticed. We follow that assuming it will help. Majority of our minds are hacked already by the society.
Let me tell you one thing, those who can try to keep moving forwards with their own unique thinking will mark their prompts on a higher note. Keep our minds focused and lets try not to get hacked. Friends think unique and achieve greater results. There is no right or wrong here. Be a good citizen, obey the law and order. Love others and keep the mind free.

Flip my Skin- A Poem
Flip my skin if you can I plead
Tired of being in this world of difference
People look at me like a worm in the dirt
Don’t know why I get this look all day
Scream loud I cannot breathe
Yet deaf ears all around me
Flip my skin if you can I wonder
Suit your needs to please your eyes
We breathe and sweat the same way
Don’t know why this difference you notice
Scream loud I cannot tolerate no more
Yet deaf ears all around me
Flip my skin if you can I yearn
[image error]Photo by Ivan Bertolazzi on Pexels.com
Daily grind takes toll on me
Scared of life being tortured around
Treated like dirt you wash everyday
My heart pains for my society to include
I love them just like I love me and mine
Scream loud I am like you to realize
Yet deaf ears all around me as always
Flip my skin if you can I wish
Day will come you realize that now
We built this world together to enjoy
Entertained you at our best to forget your sorrows
Gave life and sweat for your wellbeing
Scream loud for your happiness
Ears will open hear us loud and clear
Flip my skin and you see me same as you
Scream loud I cannot breathe and you suffocate with me
You will hear my pain as I feel
The day of our future will be bright as black.

First kiss- A poem
Moving through the city roads
Where there was no law to abide
We sat together at the back seat
Crowded among the people inside
No space to move a bit in comfort
Yet we enjoyed the ride of tightness
Motors rushed besides us in haste
[image error]Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com
We both didn’t pay attention to anyone
Looked around to see anyone looking
We stole a kiss for the first time
Lips touched for the first time
Felt like a soft petal on mine
Wanting more we both longed
Couldn’t snatch another one
[image error]Photo by Avonne Stalling on Pexels.com
Shyness creeped on her eyes
We longed for another day to come
We looked away for a bit
Trying to divert our thoughts
Yet the softness touched my heart
First kiss you never forget
Best moment in my life

Can we Call that as love ? A Poem
Four letters we name it with passion
People try to have it all the time
Agony and misery trying to achieve
Can we call that as love?
Touch we feel the warmth of love
Smell we feel the fragrance of love
Closer we feel the need for love
Farther we feel the pain for love
Can we call that as love?
We know we need to survive with love
Yet, we don’t preserve while we have love
Take it for granted we lose for ever
Abruptly we find love in the universe
Can we call that as lover?
We lose again for many reasons we create
Nature shows humanity a lesson daily
We call ourselves the most civilized
Yet we behave like animals with no reason
Can we call that as love?
Compassion for others stays in our words
Day and night talk about love in vein
Yet we show only anger and resentment
Possessiveness takes over our clouded minds
Can we call that as love?
Clear the clouds with love for others
Create the society we want for our kids
Tomorrow a better day to dream with love
Stay with me for the better days to come
Can we call that as love?
Embrace the new beginning we strive
Love is the only answer to begin life.
The power of love we need to believe
Change the universe with the invisible power
Can we call that as love?

i call her Rose- A Poem
Like a soft petal in breeze
Flown in to abode of lotus feet
Walked out of shower with wet hair
My eyes caught on her smile and expression
Took my breath away in a second
[image error]Photo by Virendra Verma on Pexels.com
Oil lamps around the temple glows like heaven
Looking like a goddess she walked with naked feet
Held my hand pulled me closer to hers
First touch of her lift me above ground
Took my sense away in a second
[image error]Photo by Asad Nazir on Pexels.com
Green heaven with flowers aroused our senses
Asked whether she could see her mother
Her struggles shined through her eyes
Took my heart away in those stories
Breath sense and heart given to her
She became my breath of life in a second

In the life full of darkness around me
As a sunshine she shines every day for me
I call her Rose, Love of my life.

Move on Inner Mind shouted – A Poem
In the midst of traffic daily
I walked aimlessly without plans
Abrupt thought break always shows
Realized the life halted in nowhere
Move on Move on inner mind shouted
But where to go one ponder
[image error]Photo by cottonbro on Pexels.com
Everyone seems busy with nothing
Don’t bother privacy play more important
Modern life always has rules with no meaning
Abide them or get thrown in to old rags
Past is a bucket full of ash Someone says
Yet everyone lingers around past
Move on Move on inner mind shouted
But where to go one ponder
Busier the life tells you wonder how
Wander more to seek peace around you
Traffic difficult to navigate as always
Life still seek its path somehow wonder how
Wonder why we lose our focus in life
Like we know everything as we behave
Yet dark everywhere you turn
Move on Move on inner mind shouted
But where to go one ponder
[image error]Photo by sergio souza on Pexels.com
Traffic lights still not bright enough as usual
Darkness loom over the world of life
Fighting to seek light trying to breath
Sinking in to more deep troubles
Struggles seems to get easier day by day
Get used to this new norm of life changes
Abrupt thoughts gain speed inside your brains
Move on Move on inner mind shouted
But nowhere to go one realizes

Photography journey
https://www.dreamstime.com/ajclicks_info
Friends,
I feel like being creative all the time and this new channel of creativity is giving me a lot of happiness. I know i am not great at this venue yet. But the knowledge i gain by doing it is what inspires me. Just like I started writing about 3 years now, I have improved my ability to describe. My ability to improvise a scene has shown a lot of improvement. I started to see everything differently.
Same here with the photos, I started this a year ago. Dreamstime is a platform for every photographers who wants to try and put some pictures in there. They do have guidelines and not all the photos get pass through their quality checks.

I thought two day ago, why not I try this. I had some pictures taken when I went to Fiji. I uploaded 40 pictures for their consideration. I got 30 approved. I couldn’t believe it. See, until unless you give it a try, You never know. I am very happy already. Not even one sale. But I am content.
Definitely a motivation has sprung. I will take more pictures now for sure. I like to tell stories, content etc. This will be another medium for me to convey my messages to society. There is a saying, pictures can convey more than words sometimes. Just like my motto, I will only post positive thoughts. My pictures will be only positive vibes as well.
Thanks for the support and hope you will like my creativity. Share and support.

Hatred- A poem
Frustrations to save the love
Preaching to save the love
Everyone talk about love
Yet so much hatred among human race
Why we plant seeds in to new blood
Why we create words to twist new blood
Why we chose wisdom to freeze new blood
Yet so much hatred among human race
[image error]Photo by Kat Jayne on Pexels.com
We say god came to save the love
We say god came to bear the pain of ours
We say god to relate love for us
Yet so much hatred among human race
Many color among us we see
Many faiths among us we experience
Many lessons among us we learn
All point towards love we yearn
Yet so much hatred among human race
[image error]Photo by Denniz Futalan on Pexels.com
Look around us to see the love
Nature itself shows love every day
With bright colors and sunlight
Never try to harm us, but spread love
Yet so much hatred among human race
