Give me wings... I wanna fly!!!

I wanna fly!!! Give me wings… I wish to go high, higher, highest… With the blue sky and floating clouds… and beautiful sunshine… Bliss… Happiness… Heaven…

After reading my last post, one of my dearest friends sent me few lines, and was sweet enough to dedicate them to me. I loved them and am really touched. I wish to share them here so that they may inspire others who read them, just as they inspired me.

Pankhon ko hawa zara si lagne do
Dil bole soya tha ab jagne do
Dil dil mein hain dil ki tammana sau
Do sau hon chalo zara sa tapne do
Udne do udne do
Hawa zara si lagne do soya tha ab jagne do
Pankhon ko hawa zara si lagne do


Dhoop khili jism garam sa hai
Suraj yahin yeh bharam sa hai
Bikhri huyi raahein hazaron sau
Thaamo koi phir bhatakne do
Udne do udne do


Dil ki patang chahon mein gotey khaati hai
Dheel toh do dekho kahan pe jaati hai
Uljhe nahin toh kaise suljhoge
Bikhre nahin toh kaise nikhroge
Udne do udne do

Thanks, my friend. Just be there to support me always. :)

P.S. Sorry for people who do not understand Hindi. I wouldn’t like to translate them to English lest they lose their essence.

… because life’s all about being happy!

Over the last few days, I have observed a change in myself. There’s no denying that I have challenges in front of me, and that the same have been there for quite some time now; but, there is a new vigour to take them head on now. Sub-consciously, I have decided to take charge of my life. I have decided to move on. I don’t hide behind lies anymore. Now, I don’t feel ashamed to come out and speak the truth. It’s a new found freedom. And I’m loving it.

I feel a renewed strength somewhere. I am sure it has always been there but its resurgence now is very opportune. My self-confidence is at its peak and I hope I can channelize it well. I believe in God and I trust that if God gets you to it, he will get you through it. So, I am prepared for the challenges facing me. What I am not prepared for is giving up. And at the end of the dark tunnel, I see a golden light – the light of redemption. I will not let sadness hold my way now. My past is gone, I will not let it mar my future anymore.

They say, strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strength. When you go through hardship and decide not to surrender, that is strength. I have made a decision, a resolution. I will be strong, come what may. I will not give up. If I have to put up a fight, it’s going to be a hard fight for sure. At the end then, it won’t matter if I win or lose. Life’s all about being happy. And I have now decided to be happy. Always.

I remind myself then, some precious words by Robert Frost:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.

Friendship

Friendship needs no studied phrases,
Polished face, or winning wiles;
Friendship deals no lavish praises,
Friendship dons no surface smiles.

Friendship follows nature's diction,
Shuns the blandishments of art,
Boldly severs truth from fiction,
Speakes the language of the heart.

Friendship favors no condition,
Scorns a narrow-minded creed,
Lovingly fulfills its mission,
Be it word or be it deed.

Friendship cheers the faint and weary,
Makes the timid spirit brave,
Warns the erring, lights the dreary,
Smooths the passage to the grave.

Friendship-pure, unselfish friendship,
All through life's allotted span,
Nurtures, strengthens, widens, lengthens,
Man's relationship with man.
