'Young and Old - Beautiful'

"With the pass of time, yes, we will grow
Old and big
With the flow of time, for sure, there will be signs of ageing on our faces
The wrinkles and the dark circles will tell about our age.
No need to speak out the number, let our body do the same.
We'll see ourself putting into the shoes of our parents; earning livelihood.
We'll have ourselves surrounded by the noise of kids, after marriage.
With the pass of time, no doubt, our hair will turn white and brown
We'll have kids in the neighborhood calling us uncle & aunt.
With the flow of time we may see ourselves fading away
With the flow of time we will be seated on our rocking chair lying in verandah
And while having the sip of hot coffee we might feel sleepy
And while on the chair we might sleep with sun rays falling partially, through ventilator.
And with the closed eyes there would be a movie of still pictures played.
With the flashback over ruling our mind
We might, for one last time, do all the same that made us developed the memories for today.
We won't be Young. We would be old.
But somewhere in our mind we know we would
ALWAYS BE YOUNG AT HEART."

New Comer In The City

I left home right after class 12 to pursue my graduation and then my profession. 16 August, 2013 I entered the city of millionaires, Gurgaon. As a kid of a small town from Haryana, I was surprised by the fast paced life of the city people. Those expensive vehicles, the huge mansions and the luxurious streets. What do I do in a city that's completely unknown to me!! A city where I stood at one side of that concrete road and saw the glamour on the opposite side. I understood, the life of a common person is not easy, and in the years it was proven right. Where do I go? Whom do I talk to? Whom do I call my friend?  The situation was like a kid who has entered the hostel for the first time. A complete stranger in the city. Were strangers really a danger? Well, how do you get that tag of a stranger removed if you really want to befriend someone?? Simple - Go and talk. And that I was afraid to do. 'Some great relations in life start with that first word being exchanged more precisel...

'To Her Next Best Friend'

"You may have a large bunch of people around you. You may also have a huge friend circle and not willing to add more names to that. But you will fall for her friendship. It's inevitable. That energy which flows out when she speaks. The spark spark in her eyes and the way they crunch when she smiles and laughs, the way her eyes get rolled up when something dorky is said, the way she reacts when she is down and sad; every single thing of hers will force you to be-friend her. You should know that her eyes light up when she talks about moon and space, you need to calm her down when she's excited or else she will end up apologizing!! You should know that she hates being called liar too. Make sure you make her feel her presence. Make sure you always meet after certain time gap. Promise me you will never complain about her to her of not sticking to her promises. Or else tears will roll out from her eyes. She has always been there for her best friend and I assure you her presence...
