NOT ALONE...........



NOT ALONE…….
I don’t wana break and crawl to you
I don’t wana fight and fall for you
I don’t wana lose and hope for you
I don’t wana fear and cry for you
I want you to, to see what I see
I want you to, to feel what I feel
Broken hopes, unspoken dreams
But I chose my destiny, I chose to b free
****Falling away I’m closer to grave
Push me away but still call my name
Closer to you I’m drifting away
Bleed me to shame and take me away...........
Hold me one more time
And never let me go
Feel me and make me believe
That m not alone
Throw me and leave me with tears
But never let me fall
Break me, tear me but make me believe that I’m not alone.....

Just the continuation to the songs I had written, as I said before when I was young, wild and free. Yeah, it sounds funny because if you look at me now, I am far, far away from a rebel. With my big nerdy glasses and simple (in other words people call it as “Good boy”) haircut, which of course I cut on my own. So yeah, I am far from a rebel.
I had complained about not having the time to write something, now that I have it, I am going to make full use of it. Write just as much possible and post however random or stupid. Who knows I might not get the chance tomorrow. There are few other reasons as well which are keeping glued to my computer right now.
First, Liverpool match still has time and I am friggin excited about it. It seems to take years though. So just to kill time probably I’d stick around here and write something or the other.
Second, I don’t know why if it happens to you or not. Winter is approaching and I always kind of feel very lonely in the evenings, not that I miss someone or something in particular. But just lonely. The quiet around the house, the dampness in the weather, a bit of fog around and the chill in the winds. Everything just makes me so lonely. And you know this place is my getaway from all these feelings.
Oh, yeah, and did I tell you that, things are going well at this moment with me. So I am kinda upbeat about every new dawn these days. I guess my letter to October did help me in a huge way (If you don’t know what I am talking about then click here and you will……… thanks).
I almost forgot, last Saturday, we had a short drama competition in our church, and as you might have guessed by now, we did participate. We did not win it, but were runners-up; a good experience and honestly, I enjoyed it a lot.
That’s about it, just an overture to the month and yeah, I am gonna tell more about it but in due time. Probably will write about everything in parts. Keep waiting.
I will take a leave now and hope that you have a great evening. Take care and stay safe.

Adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. – Still waiting for the match. Nervous yet excited. Still going with 2-1 to Liverpool.

BITTERSWEET CONFESSIONS..............


BITTERSWEET CONFESSIONS

Selfish compromise, a reason to walk behind
Judge me don’t demand
Trust me don’t comprehend, break it all away
Lie to me and bring me to stay.
**I will fight the world till I am breathing
I will make a stand for myself
I won’t let the world fucking own me
I will fight……
Fight me don’t look down, seek me once again
Kill me and place me out again
Hurt me, leave me, push me out to fall
Break my dying with my soul.
Believe me and take me away from this illusion
Heal me and stop my dying cries
Convince the essence to return to the truth again
Blind me with the truth in your eyes
With the truth in your eyes……
***I searched for salvation,
A self realization
Drop the veil on my real life
Bittersweet confessions.

Just looking back at an old diary to find this song, it brought back a few memories to be honest. Nostalgic to see it and kinda miss those days when I was young, wild and free…. Teehihihi….. (Yes!!!!!!! Believe it or not, I had my days of being a rebel). We'll talk about that some other day though. Wrote a long time back, when I actually used to sing. Not much of a poet, I however wrote a song or two for the band and few were pretty good. I guess better than expected.
Well enough said about that, been going through pretty good times, things are just fine and having one of the best times of the year right now. I haven’t been able to get the time out though to write something, I however intend to do it very soon. I had been busy planning my travel and doing a lot of stuff. But everything’s sorted for me now and I am preparing myself to leave Delhi. My home for past 23 years, kind of not excited about it, at the same time however, I am okay because I know I will be back someday or the other.
Just one more thing that I love a lot, Vincent van Gogh's Paintings.  He is and will always be one of the best around.
Vincent Van Gogh's painting: Undergrowth With A Couple
I am gonna talk about that the next time, today I am just a bit busy. Just wanted to share the song with you peeps, this song, in my opinion is the best son I have ever written, well lyrically of course!!!!!!
Gonna see you very soon, well till then take very good care of yourself and stay safe.

Adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. - Tonight’s Everton vs. Liverpool, the Merseyside derby. Hoping for a Liverpool win and fingers crossed. Oh well……… I am keeping everything possible crossed. Everton’s been good this season and I am pretty nervous, my prediction however 2-1 Liverpool.

OF SELFISHNESS AND OTHER THOUGHTS........


Every day we do things that hurt someone without us even knowing about it. We do things that harm people around us, while we think everything is Okay. I don’t know about you all, but I have been in this situation a lot more often than not. I do things unintentionally that hurt people and a lot of times it so happens that I don’t even get to know about it and even if I knew, I am rather casual about it.
Happens quite often, in all honesty. Sometimes I go to bed at night thinking I will change with the first dawn, however when the morning comes, everything starts from where I left them off the previous night.
For a moment, let’s forget about me, you read enough about me, and let me ask you something. Oh, well, a few things, to be precise.
How many times have you done something for someone out of your own goodwill, not because you were asked to? How many times have you sincerely tried making someone happy, knowing that their happiness will not have any effect on your life? How many times have you put others' feelings before your own? How many times you thought of the consequences that will affect people around you, before you did something?
Just simple questions... It's easier to just answer them than to actually follow.
Man is a selfish being. Yeah, even I am. In my opinion however everyone needs a certain amount of selfishness to succeed, to get what you want and to be happy in life, however you need to know when and where to put a stop. Well, I have succeeded in the first task but I fail miserably on the second. I am selfish but honestly, I don't know where to draw the line and I have heard people complaining about this as well. I want to change it of course; however it is not an easy thing to do.
Just the other day I had a chance to talk to my dad, which I do whenever he or I get free time. He's busier than I am though. I always look up to his counsel and guidance. Not that I am Daddy’s boy, but yeah, in all honesty, He is my Hero.
So…… Whenever I am in doubt, to satiate my never ending desire to clear it, I would bombard him with a lot of questions every now and then. Some stupid and naïve like I am, while a lot much more mature in nature.
The other day I got a chance to do just that. I am not sure if I would be able to put in how it all exactly went, I will try my best however. Here is how it all went…….
Me: Dad, if it's okay to be a bit selfish in life.
Dad: Yes, it is okay, to think about yourself, your happiness and you comfort but not at the expense of others interest.
Me: Okay so what if my interest and others' collide, then what am I suppose to do.
Dad: (With a smile on his face) Hmmmmm…. See, you are an adult now and I think I will leave it to you. Make your own judgment on this one. Don't regret if you are wrong with your judgment, if you get it wrong then make sure you redress the balance.
Me: Why do I need to think about others so much? What if they don’t think of me in the same light?
Dad: What others think is not of your concern and not mine either. Let them think or say what they want. The bottom line however, is that when you look back at things, first and foremost thing I want, is for you to be proud of what you did. Do what is right and things will fall in the right places at the right time.
Along the way you would make mistakes, but that should not pull you down or stop you from doing what’s right.
He would go on to add: “Mistakes are lesson learnt. The more you make them the more you learn however don't make it a habit.”
Just as much I have an ever questioning mind, Dad too has a never ending patience to answer all of them and sometimes, he just don’t know where to stop and just goes on and on. Not that it’s annoying, he sometimes just gets so lost in the moment, he forgets about everything else. He can really be funny sometimes. Whatever, I LOVE HIM.
“Just as much it’s important to think about yourself, it is as much important to see what you can do for others. Keeping yourself happy is a good thing and that should be your priority, but keeping others happy is a blessing.” He adds.
The best thing about him is that he talks and explains things from his own experiences. He is an optimist at the same time a realist as well. Yup, and I follow him on this one.
 “In other words, just be a blessing to others because in life, you’d find a lot of your happiness is connected to people close to you, those who love you and care about you. You keep them happy and you’ll be happy”
“Try your best to help someone in need, helping someone never goes in vain. They might not be able to return the favor, and in most cases they won’t, that however, should not be the reason to not help anyone.”
“The good you do to others always comes back to you in different sizes and shapes, and maybe in different situation. That’s the law of Karma. What you give, you will always get it back, sooner or later”. That’s how he ended it.
Well, me……. Hmmmmmm, grasped a few things however still working out on the rest.
I don’t go to church, not that I am a non believer, but I have my own perspective when it comes to religion. So, every question and every doubt, I ask him. I’ve learnt a lot from him, and it’s these little talks, that teach me about life and other things. Sometimes they do help me overcome a lot of things, which would otherwise be almost impossible.
As I said before, no matter how life turns out to be, there is always something in stores for you. Be it happiness, testing time or lessons from small incidents that you might otherwise deem insignificant. Life is full of surprises and never ceases to amaze. I will not say it’s beautiful, that would be a lie because right now I feel it is not, I can however say that it is one hell of a ride. Much like a drama, with never ending twists and turns.
The days, weeks and months so far haven’t been very good to me, there is always something or the other to learn however. To sum everything up “If you wanna be blessed, then be a blessing to others……….”
That’s it for now…. Till the next time, take care and stay safe.
Adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OF GOODBYES AND CERTAIN FEELINGS


After a long disappearance, I have finally decided it’s time that I got back to the place I love the most. Yep!!!!!! And I am not quitting like the title suggest here, neither am I saying Goodbye to anyone. I don’t intend to. Not at least this place, because as I said this is one place where I get to be who I want and still be accepted the way I am by, all the beautiful people out here.
Been through a lot of different things for past month or so, not sure if I can write about everything, I will however take few things out and write about the rest. Hope you can understand what I am writing, because clearly I am not in a great state of mind right now. Apologies of you don’t.
Goodbyes are one of the hardest things to do for me, to be honest. I have never been good with them. As you all know I am not the kind to have a lot of friends or people around me. Not used to of it, to tell you the truth.
I have always been and will always be very careful as to who I let in and who I let go. These are the two things that I find hardest to do. Meeting new people, talking to them, making myself comfortable……………. Ummmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!! It’s tough for me, if you know what I mean. I just don’t have the confidence in me to do it.
However once that’s done, it’s hard for me to let them go, no matter how they have been to me. For one, when I love people I do it with all my heart and if I let anyone go, that speaks volume of how I might feel about them.
I have never had the pleasure of leaving someone; neither do I ever want to, however people have a knack of leaving me in the middle. A lot did that when I needed them the most. But as they say, what’s done is done.
So I just move on or should I say........... I just try.
I have once said Goodbye to my sister when she was leaving and it brought me to tears. Though it was not like we’ll never meet again, it just made me sad. Parting just makes me so sad. It’s depressing sometimes to be honest. The worst however, when someone just leaves without even saying goodbye, freaks me out proper, to be honest. I have been through it a lot of times and I know it’s not the best of situations to be in.
So…… I am standing here with two choices. Either to say goodbye or to fight for all that I got. But there is a slight problem and it’s not easy as it seems. If I say Goodbye, it’ll hurt me and break me, while no one would even care about it. If I stay, fight and eventually win, then I would for sure be going through the same things again that brought me to all this at the first place.
With a new wave of shitty time lurking above my head, I just don’t feel optimistic about anything. Should I give up or should I just give it one more try??? I don’t know, I mean I am just so fucked up inside right now, I don’t even know what I want.
I have been feeling like shit for past week.
Reasons??? I have been pushed down to feel like shit.
I kid you not; I have never felt this low in my life. I know people don’t care about me, but I never knew that I was this trifling. After the times I had last month, I hoped that this month will bring some changes, changes that I had been longing for, but it doesn’t seem to be. Picking up where I left off from last month. Not an easy task I must say. However picking every piece and jotting them together to see if there is at least some respite for me.
I have been going through bouts of solitude for a while now; I can however assure you this is not just loneliness. I can handle loneliness and in fact I am very good with it, this time it’s a bit more than that. I don’t even know how to say it or explain it, but yeah things are just not right in my life right now.
Things are bad, I am down and not far from being depressed, but I still want to see things change. I just don’t wanna give up on hope. If I give up now then all the while that I had been holding on would just come to nothing and it would come to nothing like I am a “Quitter”, which I am not. I have never been one. I will try and work it out, at least to tell myself that I went down fighting.
Too much in my head right now, I don’t even know what I am trying to say here. I can however assure you that everything has come from within.
I am not sure how many of you have gone through a certain wave of despair and how you handle things, but right now it seems that everything’s against me. Like the whole universe is conspiring to bring me down.
But why me????????????? Did I do something so awful to deserve this? Or is this just all in my head? I am not even sure about anything now. Not sure who and what to believe anymore. Just so lost, everything seems near yet so far, like I can feel them but can’t touch them.
But as Gerry and the Peacemakers sang “At the end of a storm, there’s a golden sky……..” I would pacify myself with it and see if there is actually a golden sky for me or just a cluster of dark clouds. 
They say it takes time and to be honest, I don’t mind waiting; I have all the time in the world for it. I just want to see things get back to normal, not even asking for happiness. Just don’t wanna be sad anymore. It’s too tiring and has already taken the best of me. I can’t afford go through the same thing again. It’s just too much for me to take in and I don’t wanna break down.  
So…… I will just leave you with a song that constantly reminds me about the light at the end of the tunnel.
When you walk through a storm hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Though your dreams be tossed and blown.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Goodbye for now, till the next time, take care and Stay safe.
Adios!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
