Life always offers us every moment a handful of choices to make
It does not discern amid man-made priorities to latch on to stakes
It does not prefer nor does it demand any special attention or care
It is always open and encourages mankind to go beyond surface glare
It seems odd that time passes by but its presence is noted only on special dates
It always makes me wonder of the moment when everything started on a clean slate
It seems odd that the same moments on most days appears to be bland
It is weird that on a defined date the celebrations are special and grand
What prevents us from treating every moment with the requisite love and affection
Is it our habits needing a reason to go beyond routine to truly embrace our passion
Is it a lack of purpose that makes us unmindful of the unforgiving passage of time
Is it sheer inertia that we refuse to wake up and directly support the heinous crime
Can we pool our resources spent on indulgent celebrations for any noble cause
We can still get a high akin to the joy of registering a win after suffering a loss
Can we stop getting drained of sustaining energy and direct it to constructive use
We can avoid unproductive days and look forward to life akin to a joyful cruise
Time moves on and it is we who press the play or pause button as we run our race
We can at best review but not press the forward button that will come at its own pace
We can always be mindful of the present as we play out our roles and are centre stage
We only need to treat every moment with care and give respect as it turns another page!
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!
The entry gate pass did not come in easy
Multiple challenges followed on the way
Responsibilities made indulgence a rarity
The road to the stage did not come with clarity
The choice to comply with Nature’s Universal laws
The experience of feeling the young ones up & close
The pleasure involved in shaping their independence
The feelings of déjà vu in observing them get off the fence
The gratification in observing their growth and success
The contentment in observing them building their own nest
The daily duties in life may have seemed to over time recede
The conscience does not permit one to be selfish and proceed
The group dynamics may draw one to still want to contribute
The mind and will power may prod but the body may refute
The expectations of one’s creation may still possibly be sky high
The soul attachment may yet lead one to silently bear the blow
The inner mechanism may seem to be tearing one completely apart
The conflict of love and sacrifice may yet lead one to silently pull the cart
The external persona may not reflect the dynamics within one’s life
The facade of joy and enthusiasm may make one silently bear the strife
The entry to the grounds brought one in tune with the larger world
The joy of observing and connecting with a homogenous herd
The life seemed to have completed a full circle and planets seem to align
It is a complete package and one’s actions influences the glowing star shine!
It is such a joyful moment, when you are blessed with a bundle of joy
The innocent natural responses needs you to react and adopt a diverse ploy
It may take some time to sink in that you have contributed to its conception
It may take a life time to enjoy and experience the uniqueness of your creation
The soul has selected you and has placed its complete faith in your competence
It may seem that fundamentals in life has changed but it is not a coincidence
The time was ripe for you to start co-contributing to your role in Nature’s history
It may take life-times but it is not yet easy to take a position on the Universal mystery
The laughter and cries of the divine creation need you to remain calm yet constantly engage
The urge to satisfy all their needs and be the best parent tests your mental fortitude and courage
The inner conflicts of self doubt and audacity may yet test your resolve and positive intent
The Universe feeds you the energy that you may long for and reward you with patience abundant
The material world opens its arms wide and welcomes the new set of foot print to write its own chapter
The environment will be crucial to shape its destiny and more specifically to shape its character
The zeal and momentum needs to be sustained and one may never realize how years accumulate
One can look back with satisfaction on one’s contribution when you proactively ink Destiny’s fate!
