Music of Happiness

Time and time again, when I walk down that road, I try to follow that music , which emanates from somewhere in between those woods. That music is the harbinger of happiness, joy and success. As I try to follow the music, and try to look for its source , the music let's me know that happiness is not something that is found in those piece of papers with the face of the king printed on it, nor it is found in the thick walls of the temple. But instead it is found somewhere, which is not known to many a living beings in this planet earth. I run and follow the music that has been fading away since years, and has been growing. But undaunted, I run , after that fading music to find the source. I ran through the dark woods and finally I realized, while running that music is the loudest in deep inside me. Happiness is something that emanates from deep inside of me and there is no point in running after it and trying to find it  elsewhere. The heart is the source of all the positivity and mind is the source of that music which symbolizes happiness. Since that day, I have never been sad.

The fear of Unknown !

Time and time again, when I walk down that long known road, I don't see that sunshine which once used to brighten that otherwise dark road. I can't see those mountain like cloud cover, which once poured heavily and always clean those roads. Where are those birds gone, which once used to sing in those trees and play in those ponds? Neither I can see them, nor I can see those trees which used to provide shade to those squirrels, which were tired after playing all day with their partners. I cannot recognize those streets anymore, nor can I recognize the person I see on mirror everyday.   

Hope

They thought he was alone,

They thought he was vulnerable,

They thought no one could save him, 

They thought he would be killed,

They thought he would suffer to death,

But they forgot that nature had other plans, and he was not alone as the skies and  clouds were with him, the water was there when he was thirsty, the stars, the sun and the moon gave him light when he needed it the most. It's the hope and the will to fight that got him going and mother nature showed that if she had the power to kill the strongest, then she also had the power to save the weakest.

Childhood

Time and time again, when I take that lane, which winds down from my house, I see that little kid. Though I could not see his face properly, the happy kid's smile makes me forget all the worries and all the pain. He is happy because he doesn't care if he has money in his pocket, doesn't care if he has a luxury car and also does not care if he has a big mansion or not. The sun shining bright on his face makes him happy, the crystal clear rain drops falling from the dark clouds make him happy, the sound of lightening which tears the silence apart, makes him happy. The birds that are chirping and the cats that are calling him to play makes him happy. That little child emanates a positive vibe which can heal all the pain in the world and can end all the hatred, that has engulfed the mankind.  As I walk down towards the child to see his face I could see it was reflection of me, a million years back.  The memory lane never seizes to amaze me.

That walk

I woke up in the middle of the road only to find that the city was deserted. The long roads were all empty and sky was dark red. The sky was bleeding and the trees were shading crimson tears. The birds could sense the thunder that was on its way, to strike the city. The roads were dismantled and the buildings were all grounded. Inside the storm hid the king of lightnings. I waited there helplessly to see myself being engulfed in those dark red cloud cover.

Eternal Darkness

I still walk down that dark road and and my eyes still frantically look for you. May be they will never stop looking for you. We were not united this time, but there will be a time in the future when there will be no more distractions and we will live together, forever. I still remember those beautiful days when the sun used to shine bright and breeze was pleasant, you used to lie down on my chest and read my mind. While cuddling you, used to hear all those words, which you never said. While being busy with you, failed to notice those dark monstrous clouds. They came and engulfed the beautiful sun and he could never escape from the deadly jaws of the cloud. The clouds were so vicious that they extinguished every star in the sky, so that there was no more light. In that darkness I lost you forever. Then came the cyclone, blowing me away in an eternal darkness, from where there is no route to escape.

My new house

I was suffering from an unknown disease. It was a deadly disease. Life lost hope and she decided to part her ways from me. My body was becoming a living hell for my life (my life's home was my body). My body was losing strength, the wall of my life's body that is my skin was getting peeled. My eyes were about to fall off from their sockets, I was bleeding profusely, and strength was leaking from everywhere, such lethal was that disease. My life was scared to live anymore in her age old home. From a distant star, came skilled and famous experts to fix my life's wretched house. But they could not fathom the reason behind my decaying body. Even after that my confidence was always high and somewhere deep in my mind I knew that sanity would prevail. Finally came "strength of bonding". Such lovely was her smile that I got my eyesight back, such beautiful was her voice my deafness was cured, such pleasant was her touch that my worn and burnt skin was back to normal again. With her magic wand she got my heart back to work and with the help of her, I convinced my life to stay back with me in her new renovated house and since then we are staying together.

Death of my Mind

Time and time again , I start walking down that dark and gloomy road , trying to find the source of light, which is piercing the eternal darkness of my life. I start walking towards the end of the dark road, hoping to get to the brighter side, but the forward I move the darker it gets. The path is such that I cannot turn back, nor will they allow me to do. Who are this "they" ? Don't ask me that, as even I am trying to find the answer. So will I ever see the light ? My mind used to tell me yes, but now that she has gone, there is no one, anymore to encourage me to move forward. Where did she go ? Nobody knows that, but I do. When I tried to find her once, I found her dead, lying on the dark road. Neither could I feel happy, nor could I feel sad. They said, I have become "mind"less.

Lovestory of Life and Body

Life was always arrogant and one day smirked at body "If I am not there, you are nothing without me, you cannot move, see or listen anything. You won't even exist and the parasites will feast on you, while you decay". Body was calm,as always, looked back at life and smiled. She took a brief pause and said "If I am not there do you have any place to stay and do you even have any identity ? ". Since then, they have been living peacefully, as they both knew the world will be a dark place for them without each other.

Dreams

A life full of stress, struggle and tough grind, and when my time will be up I will live forever. Let the brightness of the life engulf me and when my time in this heavenly world will be up I will live forever with all my dreams realized.
So many dreams I have seen to achieve in life, some are fulfilled while some are not , the ALMIGHTY just let me get those dreams materialized before my time in this beautiful earth is up.

Family

Time and time again, when I walk down that dark and lonely lane, I realize that this thing can not go on for long. We were running out of resources to keep things going. I knew those crooked and evil people were eagerly waiting for this to end, so that they can pounce on it and take every bit of it. People are happy when they see us sad. We were already exhausted and and the slightest noise in the house used to send shiver down my spine. I was always a helpful and cheerful man. But things have changed since the day when feelings were murdered ten years back, in the dark and gloomy lane behind our home. Since then we have been avoiding that lane. And now, I would do everything to keep my loved ones happy, even if I fall victim to the rage of those crooked people. I desire that my family could live at least one moment more. But the world is a toxic place where only actions matter, not desires.

Pain

Pain was with him when he was born, pain was with him when he was sad and pain will be with him when he will leave. That is why he thought pain was his best friend and he was right.

Good Man : 2

Good Man:

He was a good man. His best friend was his shadow. His two prized possessions were his precious eyes and a beautiful heart. Since his best friend, shadow, was a weak individual, he gifted him a knife, so that shadow could protect himself. But shadow was a clever man. With the knife, which he got as a gift, he took out the eyes and heart of his friend and sold them in the market and became rich. After that the "good" man turned blind, but could not blindly trust anyone anymore, and since then people started calling the "good" man a "heartless" man as he did not have a heart anymore.

Parent Eagles

On the top of house, that I used to live in , used to live two big eagles. They were a happy couple. One day the lady eagle gave birth to two baby eagles. One was a boy and the other was a girl. The eagles raised their kids with utmost care. They sacrificed all their dreams to raise their kids. Their kids also loved them. Altogether they were a happy family. Slowly the eagles grew old and their children took the responsibility to run the family. But there was a scarcity of preys in the plains. And the preys became smarter and started escaping from the eagles' clasps. To learn new techniques and hone their skills the two young eagles flew to the mountains. In the mountains there was a big eagle who knew all the tricks to catch preys. They did learn all the tricks from master eagle and became adept hunters. They had plethora of food while their parents were not able to eat even once a day. But since they already reached the apex, the plains were not visible anymore, and they forgot about their parents,who died of hunger, but they lived happily ever after.

Motivation

Time and time again, I draw close to you, just like I have done the many days before. Whether it’s out of stupidity, curiosity, plain simple impure love or perhaps even the joy of torturing you, I do not know. Time and time again, I told you that I am yours and that I loved you no matter what. But time and time again, I left you alone in the wilderness because of the troubles I have in my life. I never wanted want you to to be involved in it. And time and time again, I realize that the monsters come back into your life when I am not there. And now since you are gone I am stuck in the past, remembering all the times we shared, all the time we spent together. I still hear your melodious voice, your infectious laugh but I know that you couldn't be here with me. I am still living in the past while you are walking towards a bright and healthy future. I deeply wish the best for you and wist that happiness stays in your life, darkness never engulfs your life because it is for me. I will miss you and I want you to know that even though you cannot see me, I will always be there with you, hoping only all the good things happend to you and you realize all the dreams you always craved for.

Unknown Disease

I was suffering from an unknown disease. It was a deadly disease. Life lost hope and she decided to part ways with me. My body was becoming a living hell for my life (my life's home was my body). My body was losing strength, the wall of my life's body that is my skin was getting peeled. My eyes were about to fall off from their sockets, I was bleeding profusely, and strength was leaking from everywhere, such lethal was that disease. My life was scared to live anymore in her age old home. From a distant star, came skilled and famous experts to fix my life's wretched house. But they could not fathom the reason behind my decaying body. Even after that my confidence was always high and somewhere deep in my mind I knew that sanity would prevail. Finally came "strength of bonding". Such lovely was her smile that I got my eyesight back, such beautiful was her voice my deafness was cured, such pleasant was her touch that my wounded and burnt skin was cured completely. With her magic wand she got my heart back to work and with the help of her, I convinced my life to stay back with me in her newly renovated house. Since then we are happily staying together.

Mind

Once upon a time there was king who had all the wealth and power of the world. He wanted to bring the whole world under his rule. He was brutal and murdered everyone who came in his way. He murdered a million people, including children and women. He had no respect for anyone, and all the kings started to fear him and surrendered to him. But still he spared no one. Wherever he went there were mountains of dead bodies and severed heads. Then came an unclad saint in his way, who dared to stop him. The cruel king was astonished by the courage of the saint and ordered his men to capture him. The king was even more surprised seeing the saint laugh. “ Why are you laughing, aren’t you scared of death?. Don’t you know that you will be beheaded now ?”, asked the befuddled king. The saint smiled and replied, “Fear is for you loser, you can kill everyone, you can conquer the whole world, you can enslave every man alive, but you will never live peacefully, as you will never be able to conquer your mind. You are greedy, you are power hungry, as it is your mind who controls you. But I am free from all the worldly desires as I have conquered my mind, its me who drive my mind not the opposite. That is why I am happy, I am not scared of anything, not even death”. The king for the first time did not know what to do. He kept on staring blankly at the saint and could not utter a word. “You are a loser my king, if you kill me now you would lose to your mind and if you let me free then you would be a lose to me. So in either case you will be a loser, as you have been always”, continued the saint. Dejected and humiliated, the king used his own sword to behead the saint. But the king knew that he was a loser and finally left his kingdom and never came back. Nobody knew what happened to him after that.  

"Mind" my best friend

A few days back I was in a pensive mood and was getting bored. I got out of my house and started walking down the memory lane. Its been after hundred years that I took the lane. It was that lane, where I and my mind used to play together. At that time my mind used to be my best friend, I used to text her and she was prompt enough to reply me back. The world used to envy our relationship, they never wanted us to be together. Her eyes were full of life which compelled me to live, she was that droplet of water, which even the ocean wanted to drink. Even the most fragrant of the flowers were jealous of her scent. By seeing the calmness of her face, even the wildest of tornadoes used to recede. Whenever I used to feel lonely, I used to call her and she was always there to answer my call, and she had that secret elixir which cured all my wounds. But she was scared of the ghosts that used to haunt her, when the tired sun hid behind the horizon. The ghosts were so scary that the moon did not dare to come over there. Plagued by the darkness and scared by the ghosts, my best friend, mind left her home forever for an unknown destination, leaving me alone. It was one of the darkest nights of my life, the star that used to guide me in the darkest of the roads was no more there. Then one day another good friend of mine, intuition called me up and said that she is now in another planet far from where I am now. Long time back residents of that planet used to rule our earth. I am heading for that planet to get my mind back. I want to put my smile on her lips, I want to take away all her tears, I want to free her from all her fears, worries and apprehensions. All her dreams will now become our dream, and I will make sure that we will realize them one day.  

Heaven

Time and time again, I draw close to you, just like you have done the many days before. Whether it’s out of stupidity, curiosity, plain simple impure love or perhaps even the joy of torturing you, I do not know. As I come closer to you, you lean against those steel bars which are between me and you, the restraints pulling on your ankles and the bars pressing against your chest. And just like those other times, you lash out to grab on to my shirt and then you jump away, just barely out of my grasp, as you always do. The smell of you burning flesh reaches me before the sound of your silent crying does and I look at your wrists, the faint red color of a burn peeking out below the palm. You eye me with those horrible free teal eyes with the darkest shadow drops in them before leaving with a solid thud of the mahogany wood door. You know I’ll be back again tomorrow, the electric current between our tacit conversation and locked gazes, an addiction you can’t stop.
The squeak of the door opening makes you turn towards me. You repeat your routine, standing just within my range and looking down at me with sadness. I don’t move, a predicament in this most repeated of routines, and your eyes wrinkle with confusion. Below your scent of freedom and fresh light air, is the tainting undercurrent of blood,decay,and rotting of flesh . You move as far away as you can from me as possible, until your back is against the bars with bruising force. You instantly realize what’s wrong and to my surprise, produce a key from that sterling golden chain around your neck. The loud boom of the heavy padlock hitting the floor echoes around with an afterthought of the door hinges screeching open. You close it behind you, immediately murdering my hope of getting around you to free yourself from all the pain of this world. You lift your hands up in innocence and I can see that red drops of blood flowing through your wrists. My only motto is to stop that blood from coming out and take you to a place where there will be only me and you, where there will be no pain but only love, peace and serenity.

Memories

Every single day, when I see the raindrops falling from the vast blue expanse and my mind wanders to you, the hot sunshine gracing your beautiful caramel face. You turn your face towards the light, emerald eyes shaded from it with your big full eye lashes and my heart wrenches in my chest. The memory is ruined, shattering like the mirror falling from a ten storied building. Another replaces it, more so like the weather of Kolkata. You are crying, curled in on yourself and you’re sitting in the farthest corner of our room. The corner farthest from me and from my eyes. I remember stepping through the staircase, carrying the bags hanging from my arms and hearing them slide off, tumbling to the ground with thuds and breaking glass. That would have been the vase for your flowers but my mind had simply forgotten about it when I saw you crying and the bloody mess on the carpet in the bedroom. You had murdered the devil who was the messenger of darkness and gloom, those evils had sent after you, just like I had taught you. I then realized why you had been crying. I understood that you now knew how to fight your own battles and you have become matured enough to need me. I no more meant anything to you because my usefulness to you was over. You hated this life and constantly being on the run from them and thinking they could catch us at any moment. My heart wanted to be selfish and wanted to kill you but my logical mind together with his accomplice my tender heart made forced me not to do so. And you were gone from my life forever and I was left from your memories forever and I promise I will never come back.
