December Put a Pat on my Back | Goodbye Poem for 2023 | Stay Motivated | Merry Christmas

-

 December put a pat on my back.
A long quiet hug,
And a warm rug.
So, I laid down the year's stress.
Hold the button-
And press, Refresh. 

December rubbed its palm on my back
Telling me how proud it is-
I've turned bigger stones
Without turning my back.
So, I laid down my head
And a story,
Everyone has heard,
Everyone has said,
Hold the button-
And press, Refresh. 

But do quiet winters too,
Smoke beginnings new? 

December sat by my side.
No conversations, only silence.
It knows everything
And I've nothing to hide
It knows what had happened
It knows how I had felt:
Kicked below the belt.

So, December
put a pat on my back. 
A warm cup of coffee
For the mile in front of me.
Asking me, 
"Are you not enough smart?
Hold the button..."
And I pressed, Restart.

Fear is not the Cradle of Hope.

  Not all of us are born with a silver spoon.  Manifesting a life, out of our natural cradle requires strength. You will be afraid of failure. You will be afraid of the answerability of your actions.  Not everything makes sense from point zero. What makes sense is your perseverance and consistency.  When you are willing to attract all that you dream garnished with hard work and prayers, things will work out. Things will find their way to you. Your dreams will find a way to manifest themselves.  Desire is not everything. You have to deserve what you want. You have to want it as much as breathing. Something that gives you sleepless nights is not the only reason why you would be given things on a silver plate with a silver spoon. What you do, and How you act in the broad daylight decides if you deserve your sleep-ridden desires.  Cosmic Powers will Play for YOU . In return you have to change the game in broad daylight. That is how you deserve it.  Fear is rational. but Fear is not the cra

  No matter how educated we become, rigidity is our birthmark. We can’t let go of that. No matter how globalized and open minded we become, thrusting our ideas as the ideal benchmark is our second nature, and we can’t get rid of that. You must be thinking, why is she so furious. Why should I not be? It doesn’t matter how hard we try, we can never run away from our inclination of moralizing certain specific attributes as the most pious and glorified attributes. A few Bollywood actresses chose to paint their weddings pink, and Indians have to poke their nose in that. Are we so so so very jobless! It’s her wedding. It’s her big day. If the actress decides to wear a peach lehenga over a red lehenga, what is so annoying about it? We don’t have much to say when the country is privatizing the Government jobs. We don’t feel the need to take a stand at the employee exploitation in corporate sectors. When people get suddenly fired one fine morning, there is no need of a protest, but if an

Time is Always Right

  Few weeks ago, I had spent a very beautiful time with a friend of mine. Some weeks later to that day things in his life sprung up badly, to worse, to me getting blocked. Yeah… That day, he saw a tiny line on my palm, left or right I don’t remember and he said, “Muskan, you’ll get everything on time in life. The right things will come to you at the right time”. I laughed and said “amen”. Then he showed me his palm, there were three lines between two fingers, and he said, “I’ll get everything much late than I am supposed to.” And I said, “Okay that makes sense, that’s why I have found you at my right time, and you’ve found me late” and we laughed. ( I smiled while writing this ). Anyways. The centre of attention of this stance is, the fact that he had been told that things will show up late in his life from when he is ‘supposed to’ is the epicentre behind all the trouble. He believes this. He has more faith on this superstition than God, than his hard work, than his abilities. H
