EMPTINESS

Life is a mystery of paradoxes, some good, some bad.

Needs change, wants become stronger, but priorities stay the same. Or so i hope so.

There are days when you feel that life could not have been better, but then there are some where you want more.

I do not call it being greedy, but confused.

It is not about wanting more, it is about not knowing what you really want.

Stop chasing things because people do, or for that matter because it may give you momentary happiness.

Run, because the adrenaline that pumps is felt only by you.

You may have everything possible, but if you do not know what you really want, you are Empty.

The clock may tick, people may run,

Take a breath, lie around.

If you feel empty, do not cry.

You may not know what you want,

But at least you are not a robot working by the clock.

You may not know what you want,

But at least you know that there is something that you want.

FEAR ME NOT

FEAR ME NOT

Fear me not... 

Fear the demon inside of you,

For he is the one to be blamed for you,

The crazy wrong things that you always do,

Is something that I fear too.

Fear me not...

Fear the timber that rests in your house,

The air that you breathe, you are its louse,

The more you destroy it, the more you die,

So fear the demon, inside you which lie.

Fear me not...

Fear the gadget, now you use,

Water is its source, electricity from the fuse,

The more you use it, earlier it dries,

The rivers are pleading, hear its' cries.

Fear me not...

Fear the wheels that take you around,

As pretty as it looks, it makes a sound,

The oil that burns, your pockets are sore,

The land beneath, soon shall have no more.

Fear me not...

Fear the man, that lives above,

For he is crying, showering his love,

The busy lives that make you run,

It shall be followed by a scorching sun.

Fear me not...

Fear the man besides you,

His colors vary from bright to blue,

The eyes say it all, your wings they flew,

For looks are deceptive, they kill you too.

To Dream or Not...

Dreams are nothing but an illusion our peers taught us to see. Dream big, is what people say. But in the real world, it takes more than just a dream to be big. Being big. What is it? Is it called being successful, being rich, being happy or all of it. Apparently, if you are rich, means you are successful and thus are happy. But are you really happy. I believe a majority of the people are. I mean, in this clock functioning world where nothing works without money, where happiness is based on monetary goods, why would one not be happy if he has it. For all I know, I too would be a part of this blinded world had it not been for the profession I am in. 

I may not have achieved what i dreamed of, and yes, as natural human behavior I do feel saddened by the thought that what if I do not land up being what I want to...I too feel the constant pressure of thriving to do better and competing with a bunch of other junk heads and proving myself to be a good doctor. But its only when you actually take a step ahead, forgetting about your wants and opening your eyes to the millions of hearts which believe in you blindly, you realize that there is more to life than monetary happiness. 

The smile on a four year old when you play with him, the tears of a ninety year old female when you just hold her hand and say "it will be fine", the "thank you" of a worried mother whose child was sick, these are the moments when I am confused, whether to be happy that I am doing my duty as a doctor, or be worried that I am wanting to be a part of a rat race which at the end of it is going to turn me into a heartless, money minded, just another doctor.
