Dedicated to the man whose memory will inspire me for the rest of my life!
and dedicated to all the dads

Dad!, 

Me, I realized is an extension of you!

for as long as I cherish your dreams,
You are never dead and gone!
for you embraced death
and so eternal you became.
Courage is what I inherited from you!
and following your footsteps,
I made a path for myself!

An embodiment of dedication and hardwork,
your indomitable spirit never ceased
to take on life as it came!
Bravery was your instrument of mockery
as and when time brought us misery.
Your hopes had no bounds that
misfortune missed its magnitude.
A guiding beacon you have become
that all your words still linger in my mind.
I think of you, my Dad and you are there!
who said that you have perished into thin air?
when I could breathe you everyday,
when In me you reside;
for it is my turn to nourish you back.

 The traffic of Life:

That was a night when sleeplessness took over my sleep. At times when I see what is happening around me, I'd be tempted to quit things I undertook and take up a simple life that promises a decent living and some peace of mind. However, holding on to hopes I went passed that night unslept and engaging myself by all sorts of questions that arose in my mind. And thankfully, came the morning! I felt like the devil that was hanging around my neck has suddenly disappeared. As usual, I was urged from inside to go for a walk and have a cup of tea. The thought of a cup of tea has such a power to lift my mood up. After having a hot cup of tea with some delicious biscuits, I continued my walk the talk. After successfully convincing me of the direction I have chosen for myself, I came to the juction to cross the road. I saw a total chaos there despite some order. That moment my metaphysical mind was able to capture, the nature of the events happening around me. Yes! Life is like the morning traffic. Events are like vehicles. Time is the road. Some events go as expected. Some don't. Some move faster. Some slow down. Some take an U-turn. And some events collide with each other; conflict of interests, they call it.  At the end of the day they reach their logical conclusion. Some persons are thankful and others complain. I asked myself, which side am I? And chose happiness over depression. In the traffic of thoughts and events that happen inside and outside us respectively, It is our choice that drive our mind whichever way we want. In the land of uncertainties, bringing in order is an art. Chaos is natural; being calm is conscious decision. After the storm of thoughts that waged war inside my heart, I found my peace of mind. In the ocean of Life, Peace of Mind is a pearl you have to find for yourself and that would be the greatest gift you could give to yourself.
