Result

The results for the International Poetry Contest were finally announced and I won a Bronze medal!

A feeling of joy, a feeling of satisfaction and its perfection are attributes to itself; one changes the light of day just to know things have worked out the way he/she felt. What makes the difference between good and bad, beautiful and ugly, sexy or not sexy, etc.

You would feel heavy when you look into special somebody’s eyes; god would signal you to their direction, and that’s the moment we would all get to know that they are the right people for us. Interesting, innit? What is it that interests us the most? Is it the feeling of getting into love or getting out of love?

In a city where it’s bustling with people, one finds it hard to find the right person; now could you blame it on the looks of that person and other factors or simply the fate? I believe that the first impression has got nothing to do with the overall image that that person can impose later. All in all, the real question is if we need to be lust driven in our lives for guiding us.

News!

The poem "Spark" (listed in the March 2007 Achieve of this blog) has been selected for the semi finals of the International Open Poetry Contest through www.poetry.com and will be published in their poetry Coffee Table Book called "Immortal Verses".

A Feel

How many times in life have we all wanted to be different in almost every little detail? We have always constantly boggled ourselves with the way we look, feel and personify things. None of them being the most important thing to us or the people around us; it doesn’t even help us in choosing the people whom we need to be around with. Then, why is it that, atrocity the center theme of our lives? It is certain that things will be simpler if, we all could come out of our closets and accept the facts in this aspect.

"Some of the things that we have done in the Middle East are contributing to a potential explosion region-wide... We may end up being bogged down for many years to come in a conflict that will be profoundly damaging to our capacity to exercise our power."
Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. national security adviser, in an interview with Charlie Rose.

Interestin innit... how they conclude things!

???

Last evening, I was exposed to a suspicion that things go wrong not only because it was your fault but because it was meant to be. The point to be decided is, when is it best to do what is best for you. Can we all afford to take luxury of laying back and letting destiny take over? It has been quite a juncture that we have to take responsibility in what we do and not blame destiny, not bringing things to materialize.

Care

Being important to somebody is asking too much of that person; it could be a friend, relative or even a foe. What is more important than making it worthwhile every single day by creating your own aura around the people of the world who need you?

The equation boils down to how, and how much of how little! It is a known evil that everybody feels short of every little thing no matter how much greater one’s got. I would say, it could be simpler if we could just set aside like a penny of our time, energy and resources everyday for the others; I am not trying to set an example, I cannot be an Edward Deeming or a Mother Teresa of the modern era, but, all I am telling is that there is too much in this world which need attention and if each one of us try a little hard we could do good not only to ourselves but our future generations.

Think about a world without hunger, diseases, pain, sorrow, poverty, anger, violence, hatred and all other religious enmity. Inshallah! How green and clean the other side of the grass looks… lets try and not complicate ourselves by showering hatred. Lets all stand united for humanity and oneness; because at the end that is all that matters.

Patience

In the past few days, there was a revelation to me which opened my eyes to what silence and patience could offer you without your notice. There are things in life which needs extreme attention and there are others which not necessary but do need a close watch. When should they be attended and for what reasons they need to be attended? One may feel ridiculous at times as to why you need a careful watch over these things, but at the same time they may be of extreme importance to others. Is it going to be a presumptuously large offering from your side to do what is necessary or is it just considered to be but not exactly… it could be either of the two depending on the situation.
