Never live your life trying to please everyone...you will never succeed and you will never be happy.

Without commitment and efforts your dreams will remain as dreams.

Confidence comes not from always being right but not fearing to be wrong.

Sometimes we would do anything to protect the ones we love...even if it means disagreeing with them or being a bit harsh with them.

You love beautifully
But you hate even more sincerely
And I gladly accept your hatred
For it's better than indifference
And truth be told...
...Even your hatred has a certain charm and beauty to it
It's not downright ugly
There's shades of the dark cloudy sky to it
A tinge of the celestial darkness
A certain beautiful mystery like the galaxy
And even a wee a bit of the harsh sun on a merciless summer afternoon

The mirror can never tell you your true beauty my love
Look into my eyes and you will see how stunningly beautiful you are

One of the bravest things you can do in life is to be yourself.

A kingdom of sadness
Leading to madness
A broken heart
Destined to fail from the start
I try and fight
But fail to see any light
There seems to be only darkness and despair
My life is broken..sometimes I think it's beyond repair
Someone told me to not lose hope
He told me life wouldn't leave me hanging and would surely offer me a rope
But I realized later that person was me who was giving myself false motivation
When it was quite clear that I was too far gone on the path to self-destruction
The war against my demons has worn itself out
I'm freefalling into an abyss of darkness without a doubt
Can I be rescued?
Will I be ressurected?
Perhaps revived?
May be loved?
I don't know
So for the remainder of my life..I guess I'll pretend to smile and put on a false show
And truth be told I've been doing this for many years
Putting on a mask...When in reality I've been basically forming a strong and deep bond with my tears
Dear loneliness... Can't you see???
You and I...we were meant to be

You can't keep others happy if you're unhappy yourself...love yourself, smile often and spread the positive energy around.

It's not what you leave for your children but what you leave in your children that truly counts.

If you don't make a change for the better today and think that you will do it tomorrow...then you're basically just deceiving yourself.

The crimson sky sets my heart on fire
The moon just enhances my spiritual desire
The stars are my soul's delight
The night sky sends my imagination on a flight
The stillness and quite aura of the night
It's fuel for my mind...its my soul's light
The sun is always a lot of fun
For I have never quite enjoyed the winters but always loved the sun
The evening breeze that blows across my face
Man... It's *******..for those few moments I feel like I'm in space
The clouds keep me in a state of trance
It's like i'm engaged in a lustful dance
The sight of birds soaring in the sky
Gives my soul such a high
Flapping their wings with confidence and trust
They are a sight to behold
The trees weather the greatest of storms...some fall
While some continue to stand tall
The tall mountains that kiss the sky...
...some covered with snow..some with grass...some filled with exquisite flowers
The dense forests which have a beauty of their own...
...witnessing life and death everyday
The vast oceans and seas that have an infinite world of their own
As the waves come and crash against the shore
My soul can't help but want more...



I feel blessed to be able to experience and absorb all the beauty around me...it's inspiring and uplifting.

Once you let go of your fear...there's virtually nothing that you can't do.

Even when your lips are quite...
...your soul still speaks to me
...it connects with me on levels i have never experienced
...it sings me a lullaby on days I feel sad
...it kisses my tears and takes away all of my pain
...it infuses me with unbridled joy
....it inspires me to be better
...it encourages me to keep fighting
...it envelops with it's protective arms
...it embraces me with it's serene warmth
...it paints the canvas of my heart with the most exquisite of colours
...it bathes me in it's magic
...it fills my spirit with it's aura of goodness and undying passion  
...it arouses all of my senses
...it reassures my faith in humanity
...and provides me with a sense of safety and comfort
...i feel blessed to have met your soul
...it truly makes me whole

Over the years I have learnt that you can't change how some people treat you or what they say and think about you...all you can do is not let it affect you by changing how you react to it.

Your love catapulted me into the sky
I had never felt so high
And then you broke my trust and brought me down
My smile was gone.. and I was left with a shattered heart and an ugly frown
Tell me did I do something wrong
You were my life's song
I gave you all of me
And yet you left me to drown in sadness' sea
I believed in us
But you chose to throw our love under the bus
I still can't figure out as to what transpired between us that led to this...

In order to gain knowledge you must want it first...when you want knowledge like you want air under water then you will get it.

Whatever be the season
Whatever be the month
Whatever be the day
When at Roland Garros... Rafa simply makes hay
He is and will remain the best on clay
Year after year..time has the same story to tell
The clay of Paris is still under Rafa's spell
This court for him is not just a tennis court.. It's his home.. His place of meditation
From here he draws strength and inspiration
This year it was number thirteen
Looking forward to number fourteen

Sometimes we spend so much time thinking about the past that we forget to live. Take lessons from the past but don't live in it.

Just like trying...quitting too can become a habit..so never inculcate the habit of quitting within yourself...No matter how trying or challenging the circumstance or the situation make a promise to yourself that you will try till the very end.

Tumhay chahkar bhi bhula nahi sakta
Kaisay bhulao tumhay???
Tum meray rooh may basti **
Tum meray khoon may daurti **
Meray tassavur may tumhari tasveer hai
Tum meray zehan par hukumat karti **
Tum meray har baat ko...har isharo ko...har dard ko... har khushi ko.. bakhubi samajhti **..
Aisa ek pal nahi guzarta jab tumharay baray may sochta na hoon
Kaun ** tum???
Kya rishta hai hamara???
Kya tum haqeeqat **???
Ya phir ek sunehra khwab???
(Urdu & Hindi)

English translation

I cannot forget you even if I want to
How do I forget you?
You reside in my soul
You run through my blood
Your picture is imprinted in my imagination
Your thoughts rule my mind
You understand every word I say..
...every gesture I make
...every bit of pain I feel
...every bit of happiness that I experience
Not a moment goes by when I do not think about you
Who are you???
What is our relationship???
Are you a reality???
Or a pleasant dream???

Our greatest adversaries...the ones we must fight most often is within ourselves.

Even a broken heart can love again...just be patient and give it time.

Trust is like paper...once crumpled it's never the same.

Be it a relationship or health or work or academics...you have to keep working at it constantly...you can never be complacent.

Every challenge you face in life is also an opportunity.

When the flowers themselves were filled with thorns...I shouldn't be getting angry at my hands for bleeding
I should've never touched the flowers in the first place

I sometimes wonder if I have such a person in my life....

When you're young the enormity of death is not always realized
It's only when you age it starts to hit you...
...the sense of mortality
...the sense of dependence
...the sense of helplessness
...the sense of loneliness and isolation
...a new sense of rediscovering God
...The sense of frailty
...Receding hairline
...Brittle bones
...Weak eyesight
...Troubling teeth
...Shaky hands
...A forgetful memory
..Some ailments here and there
...A soul bruised and battered
...A soul eroded through the years
...A heart that is no longer fearless
...And constantly craves for a painless and peaceful death

Don't stress over what you can't control...you're only wasting time and energy. I know it's easier said than done but the more you keep thinking about the uncontrollable elements of your life...the more you will hamper the controllable parts of your life.

The only thing that scares me about love is that you're always haunted with this fear of losing your loved one...
How will I face a situation?
How will I react?
Will I be able to accept the harsh reality?
How will I live with this sense of loss?
Will I be able to move on?
Questions like these often torment my mind
Sometimes I wonder perhaps I'm being a bit of an over thinker
But everytime I think of this...
...i can feel a strange shiver run through my soul
My breathing gets heavy
My heart starts pounding...
...and tears stream down my face
The very thought of losing someone close to me literally chokes me
But I know it's a reality just like all I too must face
I just wonder as to how I will face it...

Even a wee bit of light is sufficient to dispel the dark...it's the same with thoughts...A little bit of positivity is enough to counter negative thoughts.

The hard part about making a decision isn't making it...it's living with it.

Never expect much from anyone...the capacity of people to let you down is often underestimated.

Life is unpredictable and filled with surprises and experiences and therein lies it's charm.

Always keep studying and exploring yourself...you will keep discovering something new and at times even surprising aspects about yourself.

I love dreaming and imagining
'Coz no matter how bad things might be
No matter how many problems I might be surrounded with
I can always imagine whatever I like
I can be whatever I want
I take courage and hope from my dreams
I feel a sense of positivity when I imagine good and beautiful things
So I make it a point to dream and imagine regularly

You are unique since there's not a second you on this planet.

Always give yourself the first priority...you come first...the world comes later.

Today as I was talking a walk in the park I experienced both rain and sunshine together. It was like experiencing two opposite and yet beautiful sights simultaneously. I felt blessed. Nature truly is unique...it gives you two beautiful feelings at the same time.

Never be embarrassed or ashamed of who you are or how you look...The moment you start doing so..you begin to lose yourself. Love and value yourself for who you are.

Your efforts are determined by the targets and goals you set for yourself...so make sure you set them high.

No matter how bad might be my day
Your motivating face makes all my stress go away
Your beautiful smile makes me forget all about my worries
Your serene face fills me with courage
Your words soothe my soul
Your laughter lights up my world
The way you look at me fills me with love and hope
And I'm motivated to keep fighting another day
A moment with you feels like I'm in heaven
You truly are a blessing in my life
I truly and deeply cherish you
And I intend to love you with all my heart till the end of time

The difference between a master and a beginner is that the master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried.

Despite all the problems in your life..if you think and analyse closely..you will find that there are more reasons to smile than to frown..it's just that your fears and insecurities fill you with negativity and make you believe otherwise.

Dear God...
....Without your grace and mercy i'm but a speck of dust
Save for you there's no one i trust
Help me become a better man
Help me fight my demons
Help me fight temptation
Fill me with kindness and compassion
I ask for forgiveness for my sins
Please cleanse my soul of all impurities
Help me serve my parents to the best of my abilities...
...For me they are second to you, God ...Help me give them back the years of sacrifices and hardships they've endured just for me
Bathe me in your mercy and
love
Bestow me with humility
Help me deal with my doubts and fears
Grant me wisdom
Heal those who need healing
Bless all mankind
I don't want riches.. Just grant me peace of mind
