Success: My Explication

Success in life, to me, is only a measure of how much of a difference you bring to people’s lives. Anything else is just a mindless exaltation resulting from mere fulfillment of material interests. Awards, recognition or fame don’t mean anything either.

Very shallow thought perhaps, but I like to think that way.

The Gift - II

A realization of lack of virtues is a gift. The beckoning that follows is fruitful.

Being Unconventional

It’s ironical and woeful that to do good to society and mankind at large, you need to be ‘unconventional’. It seems to me that traits like undivided attention, unwavering focus, unrestrained enthusiasm and unconditional commitment, the ones needed to make a significant difference are not imbibed by default.

That way, existence within this macrocosm is meaningless; un-belonging beckons.

The Quest

Courage awakened, arose an unrelenting will
To smile at life, and the pain it may spill
Pride marched forward, despair lay conquered;
The person in the mirror is whom I had discovered.

The Smile

In a disarray was my mind
Restless my heart chose to be
Then it dawned upon myself
It was your smile that was killing me.
