Stay Lit at Perspective

  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. 

  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....

New relationships often fill flowers and butterflies in the cup. The lesser you know a person, the more interesting they appear. And once you know them, you know them. But what does it really take to know a person. Because even after spending a lifetime with someone you might feel, you still don’t know them. And sometimes it just sounds a click. The elements which brings a person close to you is ‘who they are’. And that which either keeps them in your life or drifts you two apart is ‘how they are’. And this might sound confusing. But honestly, it’s simpler than you think. The ‘who’ part in a person includes the things that they choose and refuse, their likes and dislikes. The elements that appear on the surface right when you meet them. Your friend is kind, your spouse is generous, they love hearing music, they like rides, she helps poor people, he enjoys socializing. The ‘who’ of a person is what attracts or repels you with them. When you two think that you share a similar vibe, i...

Struggle is necessary. Yes it is. But at what cost? Without struggle, no one can build the big bang bunglow. No one can achieve the limitless sky without soaring a little high. And to soar a little extra, it's obvious that you have a to plan up, and pull up your socks a little extra. Of course!! But, does that mean not to live your today , because you want to create a tomorrow ?  And then, tell people how pitiful your past was! While building and crafting our future, we often get too exasperated and end up spoiling the NOW. We are too, too busy into the HOW, WHEN, SOONER, POSITIVITY, blah blah blah!!! We forget: life is a journey, not a destination. It is not so, that unless you get successful, the laws of nature will pause for you. You are not in hibernation and you are ageing! The laws of the universe keep moving forward and you too are always in motion. So the future that you have started running for, is there, somewhere. It'll come to you. But in that marathon, are you forg...
