What is Life?

I see life passing by everyday...motionless, tiptoed...
It plays with me hide & seek.
In a blink of my eye, its gone..
I try to catch hold of it but in vain,
I know not where is it ...?
Motionless, tiptoed...passing by.
I see life changing every second, minute, hour,days,years..

Motionless ..tiptoed!
I try to catch hold of it in my eyes never to open it again,
But alas! it escapes...
I see life in the morning in the chirping of birds,
I see life in my daily chores,
I see life on my mobile calls,
I see life saying good bye..
Standing alone watching the children going to school.
I see life in the sound of a cycle bell or a rickshaw, a car passing by...!
In the evenings setting of the Sun,
Keeping the promise to rise again tomorrow..I see life
Waiting for life to come back home..
Sit by my side & share my stories.
I try to catch hold of the moments but again in vain...it escapes!
I wish I could catch hold of life & lock it in a closet,
Never to open it again....
When my last hour will come,
I'll catch life in my eyes & never open it or let it escape,
I'll make sure it remains with me forever & ever.

Few notes

As I sweep & clean my house everyday;

I sweep & clean my mind too of dirt, gathered whole day,

 through meditation & prayer.

Live each moment as if you have never lived before;

As if you are going to die tomorrow.

Rejoice Death as much as Birth.

Then only you'll live truly.( its really difficult...)

We are all but a lonely rider;

All alone to conquer the world.

There is a thin line between sane & insane.

One is called 'sane' when he/she is doing as most of the other people do or behave.

Can we draw a line between a sane and an insane?

Pain & suffering will be always a part of our lives.

But how to cope with it is 'living life'.

Need based society always makes you unhappy.

Do not think what you would have;

Think what you have & you can do to make your life better.

I'm still happy without you,

I find you within.....!

Travelers...

In this journey of life, we meet so many people; touching so many lives. Sometimes living their life unknowingly, sharing, caring, laughing together. Sharing sad & happy moments of our lives.
Sometimes we often meet people whom we just pass by...just one glance as if stories untold...Like 
A person standing at the door...
A beggar sitting by the pavement,
A vendor selling things,
A musician playing his/her favorite instrument,
A traveler sitting by your side on a plane, car, a bus...,
Stories passing by untold & unknown.
Like my husband says"everyone's life is a book of short stories".Every person has something to tell.
Questions arise in my mind.....
Is it me standing at the door...?
selling things.....
Playing a guitar...
A traveler.....?
Are we all travelers going round & round in search of unknown in different forms & situations... encountering souls we are destined to meet? I do not believe in destiny though..but who am I to preach ?
When I just stay calm..thoughts arise in me one by one & I just keep writing...
'Then I become YOU;
And YOU become I.
There is no difference between I & YOU.
We all are one.
One seed, One Soul!!

inner voice....

Our Paths may differ;
But our goals must be the same.
Our thoughts may differ;
But our intentions must be the same .
Our race may differ;
But our priorities must be the same.
Our beliefs may differ;
But our prayers must be the same.
Our cultures may differ;
But our warmth must be the same.

Our ideas may differ;

But our aims must be the same.
Our boundaries may differ;
But our feelings must be the same.

WE the human race are ONE.
We all must work for Humanity in whatever small way we can,

And not just for 'Self' but for Everyone.
