If one science could explain the phenomenon of life, we would be learned people with nothing more to gain. Part of the differences that lie between us is accountable to the unknown areas of life. Secrets are revealed by successful men, mantras are sold like cupcakes in a candy shop; yet none of those seem to fit into your life with ease and simplicity: the way it did in that person's life.
Is it all in the hands of the person living his life? Or can the teachings of gurus be inculcated into our routine for attaining a level we only read in books or watched on television?
If I could have answered these questions, I would be reading my fan mail or globe trotting to give seminars, instead of sitting on the warm floor and writing this. So for anybody who comes across this, it is not a diary entry or a collection of gripping stories. These are my thoughts.
Also, it's an easy way to not pressurize myself with a deadline. Writing at one's own pace is charming - well, at least more charming than reading classics or doing work where interest is the last thing on my mind. This is my idea of being free. Free to express, free to think, free to be. Yes, I know we live in a democratic country; yet we rob ourselves of our own freedom.

Here is: To Freedom, To Life and... To Smiles!!! :)
Cheers!

Not So Easy



She was easy to please
Easy to convince
Easy to mould
Easy to run over

She was a soft hearted woman
Who believed kindness should be a norm
That being soft and caring was a state of being
But she soon learnt life was diametrically opposite

That innocence could be misused
That love wasn't enough to overcome hatred
That people would stoop low
And 'that' would be the way of life

She survived, sometimes tearfully sometimes gratefully
It was an every day challenge
A constant battle between acceptance and change
Her will to stay who she is vs. who she is 'supposed' to be

She had fallen plenty of times
Like a phoenix bursting into flames
Only to be reborn again
With wings to break free and soar high
