Love is Endless

Love is Endless!

For the parents who lost their children
For the children who lost their parents
For the siblings who lost their siblings
For the spouses who lost their spouses
For the friends who lost their friends
For anyone who lost anyone

The loss is always there
The grief is always there
The memories are always there
So is the love...
The love is always there

The love is both sided
It travels through the boundaries
Of Life and Death

It's like the light that's received from the stars millions of miles away
Sometimes it's visible
Sometimes we need special lens
And sometimes we just need
 An imagintion and perception 

Sooner or later, it always happens
We learn to perceive
We learn to believe
We learn to cope
We learn to hope
We learn to live
We learn to give
We learn what's there
We learn what's here
We learn about death
We learn about faith

After all, aren't we alive 
When we are asleep
Aren't we alive 
When a part of the body is not
Aren't we receptive 
When senses are shut
Aren't we awakened
To start a new day

Could it be 
That life is a chapter
And the book is endless
Could it be 
That after the end
A new chapter begins
Could it be 
That the end is only 
A beginning of new beginnings

For the parents who lost their children
For the children who lost their parents
For the siblings who lost their siblings
For the spouses who lost their spouses
For the friends who lost their friends
For anyone who lost anyone

We can only do what we can 
While we are limited with our bodily presence
But our minds can do 
What is unlimited
We can reach places
We can believe the endless
We can have faith in the impossible 
We can love selflessly and endlessly
Selfless love is the key to the eternal calm

We can selflessly shower
The love and blessings
On those who ever were
On those who will not be
On those who are around
On those who we surround!

Because,
Love is Selfless
Love is Endless


With lots of deep thoughts
Yours truly,

I found myself

I saw the mirror many times
But today, I saw myself
I saw my eyes 
I saw my tears
I saw my smiles
I saw my fears
I saw my cries
I saw my cheers

I saw the mirror many times
But today, I felt myself
I felt the kind
I felt the unkind
I felt the easy
I felt the tough
I felt the soft
I felt the rough
I felt the joy
I felt the sorrow
I felt the cotton
I felt the rock
I felt the pleasant
I felt the anger


I saw the mirror many times
But today, I met with myself
Who am I?
I am not just my eyes
I am not just my ears
I am not just my lips
I am not just my hair
I am not just my skin
I have a deeper inside
I am not just a body
I have a beautiful mind
I am not perfect
I have my flaws
I have my moments
Of fire and ice
I have the strength
I have the weakness

I saw the mirror many times
But today, I found myself
I had my nightmares
I had my dreams
I had my failures
I had my success
I had my losses
I had my wins
I lost some on the way
I found some on the way
But most importantly 
I saw a new me
I found me on the way
Metamorphosized
Determined
To continue to grow
 Continue to evolve

I saw the mirror many times,
But today, I found growth
I found realization
That growth comes with all
Positives or negatives
Thicks or Thins
Growth comes with 
Anything and everything

I saw the mirror many times 
But today, I thanked it
For showing the me 
Beyond me
Because
I found myself

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder!

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder 
Filth is in the eyes of the perpetrator

Dreams are in the mind of an achiever
Fear is in the mind of a failure

Faith is in the heart of a believer
Doubt is in the heart of a traitor

Wealth is in the richness of actions
Penury is in the poverty of forbearance

Victory is in the bravery 
Defeat is in the cowardice 

Stability is in the calm
Turmoil is in the chaos

Love is in the selflessness
Hatred is in the selfishness

Grace is in the eyes of the beholder
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder

The Grandeur – What Does It Tell Us?

The Grandeur – What Does It Tell Us?

When something is grand, it doesn't need to demonstrate its grandeur anymore.
It just has it — and it doesn't care about having it.

Because it is simply grand, and there is nothing to prove, no one to impress.
It just stands tall in its own glory.

Be it the Empire State Building, the Eiffel Tower, or any grand structure.
Be it an ocean, a canyon, a mountain, or the sky.
And be it any accomplished person.

There are no words needed and no actions done.
They are just there.

Look at a tall waterfall — Niagara, Yosemite, or any other.
It keeps on running the show as long as it can.
As long as it has life, it will show the power of water falling from a height.

It will continually create the thundering  sound.
It doesn't care about the time of day, the presence or absence of an audience, or anything else.

It just keeps on going.
It doesn't care if it is being compared with any other waterfall or any other grand structure.
It just does what it is supposed to — and it does it really well, unaffected.

Isn't it a miracle to be alive?
Life itself is grand, and every life should treat itself with the grand respect it deserves.

Without caring to impress anyone.
Without concern for praise or criticism.

A life should just do its job — which is to LIVE, fully and unstoppably, until it stops.
Unaffected by anything or anyone.

And that’s the Empire State of Mind.
