Mending faults leads to lesser jolts..
This fast moving life needs some halts..

Hold on to moments so dear, especially when you are in fear..
You came alone and so will you leave and that is a fact so clear..

All the mysteries, stack of miseries, traces of history..
When put together,will turn into a classic tapestry..

To come out of all "Ifs" and "Buts", deepest of ruts..
All you need is a perfect recipe of power,control and guts..

When in life tables have turned, remember it is your moment to shine..
Because changing situations in your favor is no crime, if life would be all sugar, then what will be the purpose of time..

Freedom to boredom, stardom or moments of conundrum..
Just be you, because the best is in you, do not search for love because love in it's best form is you..

Tears are not for naive but for the brave ones too because journey when tough, is tough for amateurs and winners too.

Validating the Validations

All our life we get busy passing tests-school papers, college exams, security checks, ownership checks, we need approvals, we wait for validations. When I see around even our identities go through checks, age checks, background checks.. all sorts of checks. Sometimes we threaten our own existence, sometimes we have help from "too interested in our lives" strangers.

Where do we all come from, where do we have to go and where we actually go? Our identity was gifted to us by our parents, we work on it our entire life and yet we look for validations from people who can never know us better than we know. And its a chain, the one seeking validations from someone also plays the role of validators for others. Why be a part of this cycle at all?

We mean different things to different people, yet we fall for those who won't understand our worth. Why do we feel the need to "Lean On", why not strive for self sufficiency..when our own shadow is not always around, why do we expect someone to just be there always. Be someone's support if you can ever be but why keep forgetting that if you can be someone's support why not be your own lifeguard.

When the life sets sails (BIRTH) or when the journey comes to a halt (DEATH), we are not asked for permissions and it just happens. Neither the beginning is in our control and nor is the end, then why control everything around.
　
Don't let NEED decide someone's IMPORTANCE in your life. Don't let IMPORTANCE be your NEED.
　
There are no validation rules, then why play the game. Be your own critic and admirer. Trust me sometimes ONE is just enough.

Memories - They are our momentos, our real treasure. We pay them visits every once a while. Make sure they are worth it.

Moments of clarity, flashes of realizations, they are all too rare phenomenon, moments of disparity and dearth of aims all way too perennial. Making volatile decisions and we are on a spree. We love fine dining yet we are mad for the roadside Gol Gappas. We love the rains and the soulful songs...we can all be decked up in crop tops and can be elegant in those beautifully draped sarees. We always have an opinion. We always day dream. We will wander and make emotional choices but we own the strength to groom every person. We go off track yet magically manage to create new paths. Sometimes we take 10 steps forward and find ourselves 20 steps back but we are some superhuman wired classically. When at the age of 70, we will be sipping a nice cup of coffee(without sugar), we will be taking a stock of our lives and be madly in love with ourselves wondering how did we manage 70 with so much insanity around and so much of insanity inside us. We are doing nothing but creating memories, completing our journeys in the most beautiful manner possible. Be a part of someone's journey, add value to it, and create a memory for them because memories are what we cling on to. No matter how much we say live in the present, we all cling on to those little memories. We are not just made of fleshes and bones, we are made of memories.

Let’s perceive it all this way: For good things happening, we take it as it is just a beginning of happy days, for the bad things we see it as the end of bad days is close and for one’s we can’t decide, let’s take it to be a memory, a food for thought, a flashback story for our 70ies.

Never Quit it. Each one of us has the stardust to create memories and moments.

Nothing to lose. Get to work lovely creators.
