Miracles happen even today!

It’s rightly said that one cannot escape his destiny. She was too was caught in a trap which destiny planned for her, a trap that she probably always wanted to get trapped in. On 16th March 2011 as Sheena(identity changed) scrolled the daily newspaper, she came across an article that spoke about the people who shared their experience about how miracles happened in their lives, which turned their lives beautiful. Each of the individual mentioned that they experienced a miracle either in the form of an incident, accident, experience or through a person in their lives. At the end of the page were the concluding lines which after reading she started racking her brains. The lines said “that a miracle was like a blessing that each person is endowed with at least once in their life, all you have to do is keep your senses open to witness it. The miracle must have happened in your past, or is happening in the present or will happen in future”.
And then she began drowning in the pleasant memories. She realized that there were incidences and people who had proved to be a boon in her life, however her mind and soul she refused to accept them to be a miracle as all those instances were very much expected to happen. The only option she was left with was to wait for a miracle to happen in the near future. She didn’t really know if all that she had read was true but then still she chose to keep that article with her. Days passed by and she forgot about all that had happened. She believes that life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood and so accordingly she was living her life that taught her some lessons and from those lessons she learnt, she drew her own set of principles.
Since the time she had stepped in the magical city named mumbai, she had come across many people who pretended to be something they were not, it’s an exceptionally difficult thing to do though. She said, “My past experiences made me become very choosy about friends. I wouldn’t interact with people I didn’t know and even if I did I wouldn’t call them as friends.” She had made quite some friends in Bombay but she was always absorbed in the feeling of insecurity .Due to the lack of presence of her family, my friends were everything for her, in short they played a vital role in her sweet little world in the city. Sheena was never alone but still feeling of being incomplete swept in her. She didn’t know what was lacking or why she felt so, all she knew was that something was MISSING. I wanted somebody like me with whom I could share everything and anything; she didn’t speak about it to anybody pondering that people would think she was inane.
One day she got introduced to a person through a text message. At that point she didn’t know who he was, she had never seen or heard of him previously. He was a stranger to sheena whose soul for her was a dark forest. Whenever she got a chance to know a stranger like him she always refused, in such situations it had always been a big NO from her side. So as usual she didn’t show a keen interest in knowing him. She had made up her mind to avoid stranger in order to stay away from risk and danger but something in her said that the pearl was in the sea and if she wanted it she had to dive this time. She was lost in an unfamiliar territory of thoughts.
She felt as if she did something that was wrong, after the conversation she had with him; unknowingly she started feeling that something was slipping off her hands and kept asking herself whether what she did was right or wrong .But she temporarily consoled herself.
Days passed by but this thought quite frequently knocked sheena’s mind. Such incidents happened to her many times before but she never thought over it ever again. But surprising this incident got registered in her head.
Gradually they started conversing daily; it became a part of her daily schedule. They were getting well versed with each other, after knowing him she could sense a feeling of goodness and sanctity in him. He lived miles away from her and she had never seen him so she was clueless as to whatever he says about himself is true or not. For Sheena this was a situation of complete dilemma but her inner voice kept favouring him. Feeling of guilt never happened to hover around her.
The overwhelming feeling shared by sheena, she explained “It’s a feeling I can’t describe but I want to hold it all my life. Today I don’t know what I am doing is right or wrong, all I know is LIFE FEELS GOOD. And even if it was wrong, this time I would love to choose the wrong path.” When she asked herself questions like how, why, when the only answer that strikes is that it’s a MIRACLE....a miracle which she had always been longing for and many other hearts long for.
This encounter proved to be a myth broker for me and I today believe in miracles, miracles which can blossom many gardens called LIFE.

SOME THINGS NEVER COME BACK.

Time washed everything away,
Including every proof of your existence;
It was as if you were never there.
But tears I cried for you remain on my face…
Wave after wave of memories shared,
Emerge from the sea of my heart;
The music from those lost happy times,
Echoes in faint sadness in the background…
You were someone in whose arms my childhood was drenched
But now can’t touch no matter how far I stretch…
Wandering timelessly in the silence of my memories,
You will always keep alive in me,
Alive in the form of solitaire music in my heart,
Stroked by the hopeful strings of loving thoughts…
And my dream of flying over seas in the skies
Searching for you, repeats itself every night…
When the dark night falls, I hear your voice in my heart,
I fall asleep in your embrace, snuggling close to your mirage,
Burying myself in the warmth of your memory…
I sit in the dry wind and wonder
Why night snatched you away from me

What’er Pollution?

Waste disposal has always been a chronic problem, not only because of the quantity of wastes, but because of its kind and the inadequate provision for a good system and technology to address the problem. There are many sources of water pollution but it is not the source that is really causing the problem but the improper disposal of the pollutants. People resort to careless disposal because it is cheaper, more advantageous, or simply convenient to them. When you are taking a bath using your favorite shampoo or whenever you wash your laundry using no other than the best detergent in town, it is certain that before buying those products you really never consider asking yourself whether their contents can harm the environment or not. What mattered more was the scent and softness of your hair and the clean comfort of your clothes. Instead of finding an environmental friendly product, you simply chose convenience and your satisfaction of meeting your interests. However, if you will support environmental friendly products and become more conscientious of how you can avoid contributing to water pollution, then the world has gotten rid of one polluter. Today, the world is facing one of the most serious problems of humanity and other forms of life, pollution. It is a known fact that pollution is very rampant all over the globe. Just look around and you will see rivers, lakes, beaches that are murky, stinky, and lifeless. Plastic, empty cans, bottles, and other trash have replaced the fishes and other wonderful marine creatures that used to reside under water. Yet, when scarcity arises and when epidemics occur many point their fingers to others and turn their backs from the responsibility. But in fact there is no one else to blame but the people. Man is the main cause of water pollution.

People pollute the water with chemicals and other hazardous materials. People have no regard to water - their source of life. They do not realize that this once abundant resource is rapidly being contaminated due to their negligence and carelessness.

mumbai dekho !

Today when I sat down alone I reflected back on what Mumbai bestowed upon me and what this place taught me? I wouldn’t be able to make a note of millions of other astounding things which happened to me here, but still a few are as follows.
It turned me from a believer to a practical thinker, from the one who splurges to the one who thinks million times before pulling out that green Gandhi note from the pocket.
Be it the field of pimples on my face or be it knack of getting on & off the local, the fact is that it has given me a lot, lot more than I thought and will continue, I bet on that.
Came as a stranger in this metropolis I soon got the flair to survive this city and imbibed all small-big factors and elements of it.
Got tied in some knots which are not easy to untie-certain relations which keep me leashed with this fast moving city, where people are busy running their rat race. Something that I observed about the people here is that they are so busy running with their heads high and eyes glued to their cell phones that they don’t have time to look around at some beautiful things. They can never figure out a beautiful rainbow in the sky, all they know is to walk through the rain and over the puddles; they know how to move on in life. It is surprising but I found out a few out of the crowd who really care, to whom my existence matters a lot.
This place is responsible for rendering me some relations which I didn’t want, which I always avoided- avoided till the 18 years of my life, but this is what we call life and as they say some things in life are unfair and some inevitable; a life with abundant spices and colors. And now that relation has become my need, my want. I see millions of faces everyday but not everyone wants to be or would a part of your life, the life which is always ready to give us surprises. And trust me coming to Mumbai is one of those bombs which suddenly exploded on my head and somewhere deep inside my heart feels happy to be here.
All I want to say is that in the midst of this race just don’t forget to enjoy your precious life. Try and take a detour, it’s fun.

The monster of desires

Let the flashback start,
When they were both friends
And then love got together both the ends
He loved her a lot,
But the same she never thought
As the distance disappeared,
They both came near
He never understood what it was, until to himself he asked, “what happens to me when I see her? Why this fire, why this desire?
Why I want to fondle her, swoop her in my arms, kiss her and always lie next to her.”
He named it passion, he named it love.
But for her this was not love.
When one day under the blanket of stars they met, with the burning desire in him his eyes turned red.
He held her tight, she pushed him away and ran with tears in his eyes.
As the flashback ends, the story bends.
This urge of sex and pleasure made him a monster.
