25-2-35 - A toast to the decade of an experiential Transformation.

 


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life.

Experiences that gave lessons

 not to be forgotten ,

But kept in mind.


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life.


At Twenty Five 

began the journey of being a wife,

It was all about vegetables and the knife

All the art was lost to learn those cookingskills

Which raised the LPG bills.

Twenty Six was full of flicks,

A new being in hand

Felt like only heaven and no land.


Twenty Seven was a shocking flight,

With pretentions confronted every night.


Twenty Eight brought in some light,

With the hope of "everything will be alright".


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life.


What a disaster was Twenty Nine,

 full of struggle

for what was never mine.

The pretentious got shattered 

The ravenous no more mattered.

The light glown at Twenty Eight, 

brightened to make the picture clear and straight.


With all that Grace and head held high,

With those never ending deep sighs,

Stepped out of the Race.

Moving away with precious assets,

Was like entering a new bracket.


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life.


Thirty was quite alive

Though carrying the shadows of past five.

Could at least feel my breathe in the air,

Unleashing life layer by layer.

No wonder the world was same,

Change was near,  I was insane.


Thirty one had so much in-store

Responsibilities, confidence and much more.

The exuberance got diminished with events around, 

but the Faith was no less than a reassurance of

what goes around comes around.


At Thirty Two, began the exploration,

Which lead to self realisation.

An analysis of strengths and limitations

Was enough to let go the reminitions.


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life


The all time dream to earn and spend

Was now to comprehend.

It was all about feeling Young and Free,

Which could only be at Thirty Three.


Not to compare, with the counterparts,

All the career lags disappeared from the mind and heart.

Satiated, without the greed of more

Had enough chances to score.

Now it was Thirty Four.


From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life


Pouring heart out with a clear distinction

For a much awaited completion

A month to go as I write,

In another thirty days, turning Thirty Five.

The journey has been a rollercoaster ride

With heartbeats low and high.

No complaint, No grudge

As it's been handled by the best judge.

--Building new ways of life as I learn that,

From Twenty Five to Thirty Five

All that happened was part of Life.

Well written..
25 - 35, brought realization on how small things matter more than the larger things in life. To be able to live in the moment, is what I would crave to learn in 35 - 45.

In the making of 'The Best'

  I n the making of 'The Best' Actions speak louder than words. To prove yourself you don't need to shout   it's just that you have to be patient   let your hard work speak   and make some noise loud. Success will always choose the best and if you are ‘ THE BEST ’ , better than the rest then why to vex.   Competition!!!!  Competition!!!! Competition!!!! began the day you were born Not for you to be shattered or to get torn. It is everywhere but it is nowhere, But you have to beware and apprise yourself -   Silence and patience are wonderful virtues    to build up a calm and pleasant personality. Give a SHOUTOUT to YOURSELF –   I’ m not running any race Because I know I am THE BEST better than the rest. As I see the rest trying to chase Rising high or   falling in disgrace   WHY to chase! When I can win at my own pace.  ...

THE WINDOW

  Self Love is the Greatest Love Most of the days, She sees! you look at her , You look at her, to be jealous and not appreciate. You look at her to replicate and not learn from her. You don't look at the way you are always supported, You don't look at the way you are always respected. You look at her, to know what's cooking besides her. That's your problem, but it casts a spell of low spirits on to her. That's Why She has kept The Walls High And Firm Around the Self She owns. She now tries to honor, The Self She owns, in a Safe Keeping,  So That Nobody Can invade Into Her Space whether looking in or peeping. As its not once but many a times, you have tried to breach, but God's grace, You couldn't reach. To break that window you need to have a class   Breaking each and every  pane of glass. Why Should She Build A Door In Her Walls and Allow You in. She is humble, You are full of Pride.She always strides against the tides, to fill the void discerned by her sm...

The Short (Hair) Cut to memories

Bored of those long locks growing incessantly, as if there was no way to stop them from growing. It felt like the never ending set of problems which pop up anytime - anywhere, just at the moment when trying to settle.  So thought of getting up to bring to a halt, the boredom and monotony around. A new hair cut gave another revival by the end of this year. a revival of new hopes with a new year approaching and bringing in solutions to various problems just lying aside.  A little bit of change here and there brings a spark that ignites an urge to a blissful living. In these past 9 years, I never left home without them, except for a rare moment. This time without informing them and taking advantage of them being independent individuals now, I stepped out. As I returned home my kids were surprised to see the change and it felt for a moment that lot of energy has been added to my aura which led to invariable smiles full of surprise.  It felt as if the hard rock I was carrying ...
