AMEETHYST

It was dreams that inspired me; not the night. It was courage that inspired me; not the fight. Everything that inspired me was just right, Everything else was out of sight. It was hope that inspired me; not the pain. It was clouds that inspired me; not the rain. Everything that inspired me made me gain, Everything else was clearly insane. It was trust that inspired me; not the relation. It was the journey that inspired me; not the destination. Everything that inspired me was an education, Everything else was part of my occupation.

अंधेरो के बाज़ार को रात का नाम दे दिया घमो के बादल को बरसात का काम दे दिया   खुदी में तड़प रहा था   मैं और खुदा ने मुलाकात   को   एक दाम दे दिया नीले लहू को शाई का नाम दे दिया   हरे ज़ख्मो को जुदाई का जाम दे दिया   तुझे देखने की उम्मीद में जी रहा था   मेरे बेरंग सपनो को तन्हाई का शाम दे दिया उसकी यादों को अतीत का नाम दे दिया उसके मुस्कान को मीत का अंजाम दे दिया तकदीर ने भी हमें यह दिन दिखाया , उसके मोहब्बत को जीत का पैघाम दे दिया  

For once, in my life, I tried being a pessimist and I was whapped with prayers and wishes of my beloved ones. I was infused with an overdose of optimism this time and it surely worked. I was going through a rough patch where I was facing rejections and dejections from every corner of the world, but something really happened; I started gathering more faith in God. I didn’t pray hard for myself; I knew someone else should be doing that for me. So, I thought of doing the same for everyone. It was nothing like returning a favour, because whenever I joined hands and closed my eyes, I thought of everyone around who’d made my life better and joyful. I was on my regular journey of employment expedition back to Bangalore and was travelling in Janshatabdi Express. I didn’t care to spend much because I was trying to curb expenses as much as possible. After sometime, I saw a beggar who’d lost his arms and limbs and was crawling in the gangway. I was tugged by the sight and offered him money...

I was gazing into the dark of the night, I saw millions of shining stars. I wondered if they’d ever seen the daylight, and earned their share of white and blue scars. I was watching the sun set into the ocean, I saw hundreds of birds flying back to their nests. I wondered if they’d ever been to heaven, and seen the place where sunshine rests. I was praying hard in the days of anguish, I saw hope gathering its being. I wondered if I’d ever smile with a wish, and be bestowed with loads of believing. 

I am racing my heartbeats; I am chasing my breath. I wish for white roses wrapped on my wreath. I am rebelling against my thoughts; I am resisting my dreams, I am betraying my life, and now I am cheating death. Hopes are high; ambitions are abundant. I wish my efforts get famous and elegant. I am countering with my pride; I am resenting my fears. I am crusading my emotions; I am questioning the excellent. Luck is frivolous; time is dark. I wish for one tiny spark. I am living on faith; I am feeding on prayers. I am connecting no dots, yet I am leaving a mark.

I’ve been a narcissist most of times and for the other times, I’ve been hasty for myself. I always try to relate myself with things that never make sense, because I never do. I’ve been accused of writing stuff only about me, and not other things around, but the way I see it, I can write about other stuff only when I step into their shoes and see the world from their eyes. If I hadn’t done that, I’d have ended just opining about them and not really expressing the true feelings that I share with them. For instance, while I was strolling on the empty service road lanes, I saw many trees standing tall beside the ruthless highway and I felt like I was one of them. All my friends who were close to me had been cut off from my sight and taken away to an alien land. The ones who were left by my side, didn’t speak a word because they were strangers and they were afraid of sharing their sorrows because whenever they did, they shed leaves and made themselves more susceptible to exterminatio...
