Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear
Where the thoughts are all clear
Where the heart is set upon the goal
Where spirits soar deep in the sky

Where you let go all your ego
Where you do, what you are destined to do
Where you have a clear understanding
Where you have some space to breathe

Where you think you can
Where you do, what you think
Where success touches your feet
Where you know failures lie beneath

Where you work for somebody else
Where you live for loved ones
Where love, feel reigns supreme
Where materialism doesn't exist

Where you live each moment of your life
Where you rejoice to the fullest of your heart
Where you know somebody's standing by
Where you know that he is there to help out

Known by all courageous and brave

Known by all courageous and brave
Life's a journey from
Cradle to grave
And all we do is crave, crave & crave

For love and affection
Praise and affection
And miscellaneous much more
Unaccounted for

Some do work a lot
To reach their goal
Some are mere fools
Striking onto same pole

It was a little tough
Right at the start
But it did work out
When I worked on hard

Although these years
I have learnt a lot
And have come along
Mine good and bad

I lost a little
But gained much more
I disbelieved a little
But believed much more

I know them all
Who would lend
A kind helping hand
Whenever I cried for it aloud

I was broken in spirit
Someday, someway
Though I was boosted of it
To go along my way

Lots of pains
& tears it took
To enable me to stand
On the pinnacle

That day I can say
That I did it all
Did it all, my way
And that'll be my life's best day

That’ll be the day
Not to listen anymore
But to say it all
What I wanted to say

Life

Life is the greatest puzzle
That none can ever solve
Sometimes stormy
Sometimes sunny

It resembles an ocean
At times quiet & at times angry
Some keep along the bay
So as not to sway

But this sure makes life a zero
to go along the waves
So try & change the path of the waves
To show you are a real hero

For man it is projected victory
That may prove to be a dejected defeat
But try & retry to understand it
And that's what life means

A piece of Shroud

Life as I remember
Told by an elder
A mysterious venture
From cradle to grave

Just a span of darkness
Very difficult to live
There’s nothing you can do
Because this is differnt

Just a drop of tear
From a heart that did care
About final wear
Of the very dear

Just a piece of cloth
From bottom to top
Wrapped all around
I fear if it is a shroud

Only one man lying
All others weeping
Only one man motionless
Rest all mourning

Just a word of sympathy
To console dear ones
From the ones
Who came up the loss?

Just a piece of shroud
Makes you feel cheated
Just a piece of shroud
Makes you feel defeated

Just a piece of shroud
Makes you collect all past
That you wouldn't have cared for
But for the final depart

Just thickness of shroud
Gap between death and life
It is all in his hand
And a call from the grand (god)

Is white in color
Symbolizing purity
Hiding your deadly sins
Rubbing all biasing

What?
Just a piece of shroud

Friendship

Life with its idiosyncrasies plays a very bitchy part sometimes. People often complain that others aren’t the same, & have changed. People change with time, their configuration changes, their priorities, and mindset changes. After all, change is the only things that are eternal in this universe. But it’s not really the people who change, or who are to be blamed for their behavioral transition. It’s the company they keep, the environs they dwell in, & the mindset of people they interact with, that enforces this change in them. It completely changes them over giving them a new individuality, & personality.

The ones, who were very attached once, become detached, & in this transition those who were distant become near. We gel with the like-minded people, whom we can relate with. Even though the individuals are north pole & South Pole, but if the mentality & the mind sets match, they make up a good pack, for the world to see. These people become so close that you can ultimately share your happiness, sadness & almost all daily activities with them. In other words you confide & surrender to them. But that's mutual & is healthy, till they don't indulge in each other.

We don't choose our relatives, but we choose the friends that we have. Friends that one has are a real imitation of you. People with same situations, priorities, & thought process are more prone to gel up well. Such people even reciprocate your energies, most likely the positive energies. So once such a protocol is setup, there is a vibrant flow of information & energy. Consider the case, that you have had a tough day in the office, & get back home tired, burnt out & drained, badly wanting to retire to bed. Suddenly a friend calls, & invites you over for a party. You are all revved up & charged, & end up in the party, having a complete blast. On the contrary some 1-hour back your instincts, energies, & motivation levels were down to sub zero, but a friend’s call lifted your spirits. Friend is for sure a soul lifter and a mood lifter, they’re to cheer you up, & take care of you. They act as a balm when you are in dire straits. They may not carry your load, but you knowing that they are there, makes a lot of difference, & makes your journey through life easy & comfy. Bon Voyage in this ship of friendship.
