Language of communication

Few conversations
Are beyond words
And silence
Is as effective
As eloquence
When the communicators
Know to interpret
And understand them!

What did you sow?

I was wondering how to console myself for not being able to post everyday in the past two months. And was feeling not so high and a memory of a past post flashed inspiring me with this idea.

When the hope is in the verge of demise, my posts come to my aid to cheer me up and help me cheer up and move ahead with a renewed vigour. So I do reap the benefits of some scattered seeds of the past. It feels good to know that what I sow was a good seed and the benefits are indeed heartening..

So what are you sowing today?
A happy thought?
A piece of your mind?
Or are you dumping the waste into every corner of life and letting the look back become a peep into litter box?

Beware of what you sow, for that’s what you’re going to reap!

P.S. This is the post I was looking at and feeling better. Feel free to dish out your ideas on both posts.

Shadow

Is the tree casing it shadow on the sky? Or is the cloud imprinting it’s presence on earth for a longer life span?

Your smile!

அணிந்த பொன் நகையின் அழகு தோற்றது..
நீ அணிவித்த புன்னகையின் முன்னே..

The beauty of jewels were a shade dull,
Compared to the smile you made me adore..

Relativity

The same count of days
Follows “Theory of Relativity”
As it seems long,
While waiting for the dreaded day,
But seems shorter,
While waiting for the dearest day..

The bend

All it takes
To enjoy the beauty of life,
Is to hold tight to
Hopes and dreams,
Till the bumpy road
Takes a turn
Into the path of heaven,
Where all dreams would come true!

Looking forward to

The past is known,
The downfalls are limited,
And is always a comfort..

Yet, looking forward
For the future to pipe in
Sooner than possible..

As heard melodies are sweet,
But those unheard are sweeter..
And for once, it’s believable!

Are you?

Are we the two eyes
that are next to each other
forever and yet
unknown to each other?

Has the veil on the mirror removed?
Just so that the eyes could see each other?

Forever! 

Though we use the word ‘forever’ forever,
Only few hop in to change the meaning of forever for ever again!

Dare to become!

We don’t get to decide,
What we are born as!
What we are born as
Doesn’t restrict
What we become..
Keep following your dreams,
Even if it’s against the tides!

Expression

Sometimes
Cliche is the only way
To express few expressions..
But there are times,
When neither cliches
Nor creations
Are enough
To express!

The fall

The deeper you fall,
The higher you soar,
But make sure that
You fall for the right person / thing! 

Changes..

Age old habits could die,
In the fraction of second,
If the new habit is
Even more addictive,
As well as close to heart!

Restoring equilibrium

While being overwhelmed with too much to process, sometimes the simplest of acts restores the equilibrium and helps in dealing with everything else easier!

So what did you do today to make someone smile?

A bump! 

When life was going on
In a monotonous, boring road,
A little bump on the path,
Becomes a step
And changes the path ahead
Forever!

Will you please? #TBT

Give before you take,
Love before you hate,
Praise before you condemn,
Smile before, after and forever!

Simplicity!

A tiny flame is enough
to ignite a whole forest..
A simple gesture is enough
to give hope to a waiting heart..

Dreams

Dreams,
The force that lets you live
rather than survive.
Dreams,
The force that shatters the heart
with unrealisable ones.

Reconciliation

The year long feud
The month long waiting
The week long quarrel
The whole-day silence
The brimming tears
Waiting to spill
Was replaced with a twinkle
With a silent hug
And a sweet kiss!

Random motivation

There are few random lines that stick to us for a long time.. Even after we forget when, where, who said or any such details. But just the idea seems to reiterate and give us hope or happiness or cause sadness.

To me one such line is this: “Whenever you feel demotivated, motivate others”

That is such a deep and valuable lesson for me.

Would be glad to know if you have any such quote or insurance..

The enlightenment

Everyone’s face brightened up,
During the long night travel..
Thanks to mobile phones for the enlightenment!

Death of Humanity!

A question that keeps running through my mind in the recent times.. Some answer might be of use!

What kills..

There’s nothing that kills a heart like lack of trust.. What kills faster is when you know that you have put in your everything and being accused of incompetence..

My thoughts!

image

Let my thoughts solidify to hold them down and let me have the strength to crumble them into words and sprinkle it in electronic dust.. So they could spread out far and wide to be criticised, condemned, appreciated and immortalised!

Truth!

When someone is said to be saying the ‘truth’, it is widely believed to be the fact. Here is an explanation.

வாய்மை எனப்படுவது யாதெனின் யாதொன்றும்
தீமை இலாத சொலல்.
(291)

vaaymai enappaduvadhu yaadhenin yaadhondRum
theemai ilaadha solal. (291)

Truth is defined as
speaking words that cause no harm. (Couplet 291)

But some facts are better unrevealed than revealed! For truth is not mere relaying of facts.

What will it be?

He looked at the blank screen
And the blank face reflected on it,
Waiting for the yes or no,
To build or shatter his dreams!

What would you complete the first phase with?

Do click on the link to view more interesting takes.. Thanks to HB for the two phrase story prompts!

Will you please?

Give before you take,
Love before you hate,
Praise before you condemn,
Smile before, after and forever!

The fading picture!

It was a fading picture
And hence I threw it away!

If you were expecting a twist or dramatization of the picture, sorry to disappoint you.. That’s what actually happens in life most of the times.. 😉

Revelation!

And in a puff
The dark clouds parted,
To reveal
A beautiful silver lining!

What would you add to the phrase “and in a puff“?

Scars and masks!

The deeds!

Commander

Not everyone
In the position of command
Is capable of commanding!

Fence: Friend or Foe?

The Fence that deters the wandering of the pet animal,
Provides the much needed support for the creeper to grow!
So does few people at different times..
The one who holds back from few chances,
Also becomes the support and the reason for growth!!

Tides of life!

Even if you prefer to sulk and sink,
The tides of life makes you sail and go on!

Responsibility

There is no better motivating factor
Than being responsible for another person
To converge your energy into channels with sincerity
Rather than let them wander away without purpose!

Shielding

When shielding against the pain,
The creativity also gets trapped in
And the thoughts are deafening with silence!

Hold! Just hold on!

Just hold her
Tight enough to crash
And shatter her into pieces..
Right enough to hold
Together all the shattered pieces into place..

Z!

The last of alphabets,
But the first of completion,
Of the challenges undertaken this year!

Yell

The primal way of expressing!

Xpiry

When life expires,
So does few expressions!

Vicious wish!

I neither have the heart to wish life
Nor the courage to face death!
Hence life rolls on!

No one!

I’m no one
to you in the list of
predefined relationships,
while you are
everything to me!

Juxtaposition

I am far from you,
Like the water droplets on the lotus leaves,

Yet,

I am so near you,
Like the reflections of moon in the river..

Destiny – Is there a choice to it?

So what’s your reply to It wasn’t my choice…
Looking forward for your take on this.. 🙂
And here’s my take!


It wasn’t my choice,
But my destiny
to travel the less trodden path
and pave way for others
to follow and reach new destinations!

For now or Forever?!

Click, click, click…
The beauty of the moment was lost,
to the naked eye,
as it was viewing through the view-finder,
to freeze them forever in pictures!


 

The first phrase is provided by Dr. HB in his blog here. Anyone who comes across this is free to give an alternate second phrase. Feel free to unleash your creativity with a new second phrase. And just remember to post it in the comments.. Looking forward for your take on this.. 🙂

Does she have freedom?

He gave her free play
in a very very vast ground..
He boasted of the freedom,
he gave to her..

She realised her potential,
extending to horizons..
She silently resented her restrictions,
by him for her..

Long Night.. Phew or Sigh?!

It is the longest night,
Yet, I craved for it to go on forever..

(Since she was by my side,
in the way I preferred her to be!)

Am I excused?!

“I’m sorry, ” I said
To HB, for joining in so late!

But consoled myself,
Better late than never,
To join in his Two-phrase story challenge,
Which I have extended to two-verse.. 😛

I will be sticking to just another phrase, from next week.. 😉 (I hope I do follow that!)

 

Rebel

Being a rebel
Is not always loudly expressed.
It is sometimes hidden
In the gentle no,
Said softly
And at every instance!

Deeds and words

She wanted something
He got her before asking

He wanted something
She got him before asking

They never said ‘I Love you’
They never needed mere words!

Scolding!

 

Thoughts!
