Never Quit

Fighters dont quit, quitters dont fight,
they keep moving forward, left foot after right.
Never take a backward step,
its not about looking nice and hep.
The joy of winning can only be felt,
after many failures with which you have dealt.
The world never remembers the runners up,
there is only one guy who holds the winners cup.
There's only exit, one way out,
Available if you are true, give it your best shot.
Winners are remembered and cherished,
nobody cares if the loser lives or has perished.
How many remember the finalists at the Olympic games?
they are just facts, they remain mere names.
The winner becomes larger than life, a hero,
the loser has nothing to show; zero.
It pays in life to take defeat in your stride and never for a bit sit,
quitters dont fight, fighters dont quit!

First Rain

The grass looks fresh and green,
the road is wet and clean.
The first rain of the season has just arrived,
the parched lands thirst can no longer be denied.
The beautiful smell of drenched mud is in the air,
the whole environment looks clean and clear.
The first drop that sits on the leaves,
look like the pearl that an oyster gives.
The mountains looks majestic and regal,
covered with mist, fog, seem ethereal.
The clouds hang very low,
time seems to go real slow.
We long to play in the rain,
this is one of the most beautiful experiences I tell my brain.
Its like the prayers have been answered of all those who for it cried,
The first rain of the season has just arrived.

Freedom

What does the term 'freedom' mean?
What meaning from it can you glean?
It means the right to do whatever you feel
and to see that others also get a fair deal.
The onus is on you,
to decide what is right for you.
Its said that freedom gives life a bright hue,
but too much freedom and you could rue.
In life we love to bask in the sunshine of freedom,
if not life will be so full of boredom.
In these times of free wheeling emotion,
each and every one of us has a unique notion.
Enjoy these lovely moments in the sun, dont be glum,
these are the joys of freedom!!!!

Life is like a boxing bout!!!!

The world is moving very fast around me, but I am in a daze,
I am moving around in slow motion as if I am oblivious to the pace.
My world is full of clutter and insanity,
but I know that I need to face up to my problems and handle reality.
Its not too hard if I come to think of it,
but I need to focus my thoughts if i want to get out of this and not get hit.
As i write down what I feel here today,
my feelings are mixed but my thoughts begin to see the light of day.
My mood is changing slowly but surely,
I believe that I will come out of this situation thinking purely.
This is according to me what life is all about,
Its a to and fro battle; its like a boxing bout!!!

"Circus"

All the world's a stage,
more often its like circus animals in a cage.
We go from place to place,
there are many occasions we grace.
Many a joy to people we give,
its because of that feeling that we live.
Many of us are like that lion in his own den,
outside that den we behave like a timid hen.
The animals in the cage are similar to us,
they feel violated and abused and caught up in a mess.
Their insides are burning to such a degree,
that they are yearning to break free.
But we are those animals is what life tells us,
we are all a part of this never ending circus!!

Sands of Time

There are many wishes, many thoughts,
I have missed many good spots.
A lifetime of knowledge i have gained,
but its really about the experiences that i have learned.
i stand here as the sands of time continue to fall,
how i wish I could hold time and make it stall.
Lots of memories I have from here to cherish,
I know in my heart that they will never perish.
They say life is like a long walk home,
but its here that we continue to roam.
Memories galore I have got with me,
they will always walk with me wherever I be.
As they say the greater the joy, the greater the pain,
its like getting drenched in the first monsoon rain.
As i sit here today and write this rhyme,
I hold still and watch the sands of time!!

I Think Therefore I Am

I think therefore I am,
my mind is never in a jam.
I am not averse to difficulties,
I perceive them to be opportunities.
My thoughts are radical, my actions practical!
My peers think I am crazy and cynical!
It doesn't faze me a bit,
bcoz my ideas in the end are always are a hit.
I think that i am unique,
I am my biggest critic.
Perfection they say is hard to attain,
I believe its something once got, hard to retain.
The drive to exceed is ingrained in me,
its present in all I do, its easy to see.
My mind is a reservoir of ideas like a dam,
I Think Therefore I Am.

A Long Walk Home

The path is dusty, my mind is rusty.
the sun beats down on my bare head,
its 3 in the afternoon and it seems everything is dead.
I walk a lonely road, the only one that i have ever known,
i know where it goes, but the destination seems far on the horizon.
My mind tells me that I may be going round and round,
but my heart tells me to go ahead without a sound.
The road never ending I continue to pound with my feet,
the hope is that my destination I will meet.
The sun sets and still I continue to roam.
my heart tells me its A Long Walk Home!!

The Right Way

Night and day, we look for the right way,
its the path you choose and you have the final say.
Right and wrong you will meet,
troubles and joys you will equally greet.
But if you walk down the right street,
the whole world will bow down at your feet.
The path you choose will matter the most,
be careful or everything will be lost.
The right way is always tough to follow,
not finding it might be a bitter pill to swallow.
Blessed are those who find the right way.
they are the ones who are happy to this day.
and so its up to you i say,
night and day, look for the right way.

Blessings Unlimited

They say where there is a will, there is a way,
you can be young even when you are going gray.
Phases in life we pass through and grow,
and there are experiences on which we draw.
Life is a great lesson in practicality,
for heavens sake man, this is reality.
People come and go, but you can't stop,
Its like people getting down from the bus at their respective stop.
We realize life is precious,
the use of which should be judicious.
Life is a very rewarding experience,
its major reason for our existence.
Think of life as the gift you most wanted,
you will then live life with blessings unlimited!!

The truth chronicles

Across the street,
a heart ceased to beat.
I heard people cry,
my mind asked me why?
do people die of thinking of the day they will die,
and not live life and try.
To think of what will happen to me,
why dont we let these things be??
The fact of the matter is that death,
catches up with the best of the best.
It spares no one, takes everyone,
someday or the other we all will be gone.
I guess we should remember and not let the truth in the life cause a dent,
just live for the moment!!

Whats the rush

In this sea of humanity,
there is a fair degree of insanity.
Crowds moving all the time,
crashing into each other but not caring a dime.
Lost in these crowds are many of us,
queuing up everywhere to catch the bus.
Few stand out in this rowdy lot,
because they want to do things as they want.
While the people around them move, they seem to stand still,
there are a very few people who fit the bill.
Never flustered, never they miss the bus,
they seem to ask the world, whats the rush!!!

Think of the mind

When the thoughts u have go astray,
and not in your mind do they stay.
They want to burst out of your mind,
some of them are not really very kind.
But the mind is under your control,
its the one with the most important goal.
To make you think well,
and make your ideas gel.
With your mood playing many games,
its your mind that calms and tames.
You need to thank your mind,
for not putting you in a bind.
and directing you to the path of safety,
from the perilous moments of insanity.

Sun rises everyday

The earth rotates, moves fast,
one day can only for 24 hours last.
The next day brings new ideas in its way,
the sun rises every day.
To unleash a new lease of life,
and to remove any darkness which is rife.
in your life you will see,
that problems aplenty are there in front of thee.
Make the sunshine the weapon in this war,
to move your problems away and far.
And make your thoughts see the light of day,
enjoy the sunshine in your life everyday.
Remember when the darkness is on its way,
the sun shines every day!!

Mind over Matter

Forget all the chatter, dont wonder how,
Mind over matter, do what you can now.
Stand up to your troubles, be strong,
you need to survive, this life is very long.
To give up is cowardice,
Life is like a game of dice.
The odds and evens alike,
joys and sorrows strike.
take it all in your stride,
Live your life with a sense of pride.
Friends of yours may always betray,
your trust at any time of day.
Don't feel sad for they are not true,
and you are set for better things too.
For its in this world that all our tasks are done,
lives are led and hearts are won.
Forget all the chatter, dont wonder how,
mind over matter, do what you can now.

Game Over

The game isn't over till the last men fall,
and on the other side everyone stands tall.
Play the game hard, give no quarter and expect none,
Its about winning, being nice is just not done.
Play it hard, play it true,
dont miss your chances or you will rue.
Your mistakes today will affect you here,
be careful or you could shed many a tear.
For the game of life is a never ending one,
once you are dead, only then its done.
have no fear, even if you have a setback,
you can always bring it back on track.
Its not over till the fat lady sings.
the game is over only when the bell in your life rings!
and the gods smile and flowers on you they shower,
they tell you, come here son, its game over!!

"Shout for joy"

Leap high, aim for the sky,
Be happy, shout for joy.
Good and bad u will encounter,
all of them you will have to face and counter.
To become a person tougher and stronger,
who is willing to fight harder and longer.
To convert his chances in life,
and to always excel when in strife.
But a good human being he must be,s
as life is not always about victory.
Its about loving and being loved,
as sooner or later into this world u will be shoved.
All those moments of joy and happiness,
will keep u away from insanity and craziness.
These memories of these moments will always make u try,
to leap high and aim for the sky,
Be happy, shout for joy!!

"Education"

Knowing how to read and write and graduation they say is education,
but alas they dont know the real situation.
A million facts in my mind, I will still be uneducated,
if i cant see how they can be related.
Education was designed in such a way,
to make our ideas see the light of day.
But all it does is build barriers,
beyond which our thoughts have no carriers.
Education, they say leads to liberation,
I say it becomes a main cause of frustration.
Education to me doesn't restrict itself to classroom sessions,
its about living your life and learning your lessons.
For the greatest education is what life can provide,
for its where you live and learn with pride!

"Life"

Life, full of surprises, paradoxes,
its all about horses for courses.
Look at the mirror in the morning and u will see,
what is is that u r trying to be?
Are you living life the way you wanted,
or for others because they would feel enchanted.
Look at the mirror again,
does it reflect what you have lost and cant regain?
Or does it show you all happy and gay,
and that u r getting better every day.
That mirror on the wall can never lie,
you will see only what u try.
To see what u want to see in that mirror,
u must live life without any fear.
The mirror on that wall will then seem
to tell you what u did was right and that it was not a dream.

"Time"

It runs, it runs, never stands still,
while u stand there hoping u r not run of the mill.
Time, that part of life that always,
by gods grace moves at a fast pace.
If it stands still,
it becomes hard to kill.
If it moves fast,
seems extremely hard to catch.
Time can catch u off guard,
and make life very hard.
But time it seems is moving at its own pace,
because it seems to be running a never ending race.

"Friends"

What are friends? I ask god,
he says they should be like peas in a pod.
But, I ask, do they all look the same?
he says, true to form, only in name!!
They are different in different dimensions,
but alike during all situations.
They laugh, they cry, they share, they swear,
well friendship has its fair share of wear and tear.
But it keeps going like a well oiled clock,
it keeps on ticking till you shut it off.
I say everyone should have friends for life,
because they can be your strength during your period of strife.
As i let my imagination run free,
I ask myself, if it werent for my friends where would i be?

"The Memory Remains"

The good, the bad, the ugly, thoughts that surround
your mind and make it swirl around.
They push you to the brink,
but boy they sure make you think!!
For what is life without a thought,
for here is where all your ideas are got.
Brilliance, they say is pure genius,
but i say anyone can be one if he thinks serious.
For our mind is like a gold mine,
you never know which nugget will come out and shine.
For even when our life drains,
our thoughts stay here and the memory remains.....

"Remember"

When your mind goes blank, when you cant blink,
All of a sudden it seems that you just cant think.
Remember, recall, life is a journey, a voyage,
its very real, its not a mirage.
Divine intervention might be hard to come by,
but a spark of inspiration is not far if you try.
For a man can learn to swim only if he enters the waters and not wait on the shore,
for the opportunity to do more,
and in the end see your chances go up in smoke,
and you end up saying, that lucky bloke.
But amidst all the highs and lows, blows and hits,
Remember, recall, life is a journey, a voyage,
its for real, its not a mirage.

"Love Of Life"

They say as the older we grow,
the lines on our faces begin to show.
But the spark in our eyes will never be missing,
and we will always be alive and kicking.
For the love of life should never fade,
and we should take our happiness to the next grade.
As in life many phases we do see,
we laugh, we cry, we pray and try,
shout for joy; hey man take it easy!!
We live life by the book,
but we never give it a second look.
And live life by our own accord,
this I say is for the record,
The most difficult thing in life to do,
To love life and live it like the way you want to do.

Learn to fly!!!

Learn to fly my friend.
But u will do it only if u try,
leap high and aim for the sky.
U will at least get the stars for your effort,
but your mind will always support
your actions for u aim high
and tell u to go ahead boy
give it your best shot
and later dont rue an opportunity lost.
For opportunity knocks at your doors once,
Not opening the door will be a missed chance.
Its better that u try and even if your efforts fail and you cry,
you will still feel that u did learn to fly!

Life is like the ocean

Life is like the ocean, it has its highs and lows,
like the ocean with its ebbs and tides.
They say the ocean is a vast expanse,
Life is similar is my response.
Every drop of water makes up the ocean,
the same way life is poetry in motion!
Different waters mixed in the ocean but still its saline,
just like sorrows and joys in life all align;
to make life a beautiful joy ride,
and makes it like the ocean during the tide.
The ocean seems to stretch forever and it makes me feel,
that life is as dream which is for real!!

Strength OF Mind

It takes 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain and a 100% reason to remember the name.
He is not just another face in the crowd,
he wants to be heard be it alone or in a herd.
He isn't like any one of us,
he is special so he wants to tell us.
There is nothing extraordinary about him when you look at him,
but he has that quiet look in his eyes which tells us not to challenge him.
For he isn't afraid to take us on,
and beat the shit out of us and move on.
To grab the next opportunity that comes his way, achieve all that he wants and tell us nay,
that we can't hold him down for long,
coz one day he break through this hold very strong; and reach the heights which we can only dream, and be known as the cream of the cream.
So my dear friends be aware of him, and his strength of mind,
coz if u don't take care u will be paid back in kind.

"A Roller Coaster Ride"

Life is a great leveller, high one day, low another,
It takes us through a whirlwind of emotions one after another.e
Its a game, a complex one at that,
where things change at the drop of a hat.
Life can strike us at any time,
for no rhyme or reason; for no crime.
It makes us laugh, makes us cry,
makes you leap high and aim for the sky.
Life is as beautiful as you make it to be,
live it to the fullest and you will see.
Life is full of fun and you can say it with pride,
life is a joyous Roller Coaster Ride.

The Joys Of Life!!!!!

Wat a day it was, the sun was shining and the birds were singing,
There were bells in my heart which were ringing.
I am on cloud nine today, things like this dont happen often,
when someone touches your heart and resides in your mind and you listen.
To their words so beautiful, their presence so priceless.
You want to live with them till death and hope that life is endless.
One tear in their eye is like a stab in your heart,
your heart bleeds, for their worries are buried deep in your heart.
But these days are the best ones in my life,
These days are the joys of life.

The Game of Life

Life has taken a full circle here today,
It has come back to haunt me as if it were yesterday.
Things, they say are hard to change,
My troubles have again come into range.
Life is in a phase of transition,
Its time for me to make a decision.
The choices are hard, the road ahead- tough,
But i must learn to take smooth with the rough.
My level of patience has reached its zenith,
Now its waiting to burst forth.
Its like i am sitting on a mound of dynamite,
The very thought of it bursting gives me a great fright.
No wonder i do not want this mound to blow coz what will really happen i dont know.
Difficult times lie ahead i know,
I need to find a way out of here to go,
away from all this.
So that i find a sense of calm and peace.
Oh god help me please!!!
