The day I fell.

The day I fell, I wish I could yell,
I didn't know how to get up
I didn't know how to move
Everything went numb.
I got stuck.
Stuck Into what I call 'The zone' where you have to travel alone..
The more I stayed there, the more I sunk,

I sunk into memories,
memories of me,
Of what I was, what I wanted and what I had become.
It filled me with fear and resentment
It hurt,
it was lonely as hell,
oh I wish I could yell..
The more I stayed there,
the more I sunk.

I lost my smile;
I lost my dignity and  my worth ,
Everyday It took a part of me,
everyday I lost something new,
The 'me' I thought I was, was no longer there,
I searched for myself everywhere..
In places I most visited, in sites I most loved, in books I most read,
I was meant to be no where..
I stayed there longer, with no soul, unhealthy body and mind
To everything else, I had turned blind.

My ship sank.
So I learnt to swim,
found the shore.
Explored new lands, wishing everything was in my hands.
I felt hollow,
Many new truths I still couldn't swallow.

Until one day,
I don't know what changed. I asked myself;
How long was I going to be stuck here?
Forever? Hopeless and desolated?
Is this what I was?
Suddenly, I felt empowered.
I found myself filled with willpower.
I found my confidence,
I found my purpose,
I laughed, life - aren't you a circus?

I built a new ship, set the sails high.
It was time I bid the zone a goodbye.
On my last walk there,
I found my soul, resting near a river,
The river of hope.
My body as healthy as new, no wonder time flew.
Estacy filled my veins.
Indeed a medicine to all my pain.
I asked my soul, "where had she been?"
"I never left," she replied,
"I was waiting for you to find me,
besides hope I reside."

I was built anew.
With pieces of a new puzzle.
Oh they made my soul dance, waiting for the new 'me' to be given a chance.
The loss I felt earlier were the parts of me I longer needed.
I laughed on remembering, back then how I pleaded.
I looked for myself everywhere
I forgot to look within.
Funny how It's true,
Salvation lies within.
Salvation lies within.

What is it about writing..

I don't know what is it about writing that I keep coming back to it.
I first started writing, ofcourse writing 'seriously' if you would call it, around 3 years ago. I was depressed I had so many emotions running in my mind. I was a moderately expressive person back then.
Depression because I had started taking everything too seriously.
So depression first started the addiction.
Then It moved on to writing for magazines, or even writing my hosting scripts.
I wrote when I was heartbroken
I wrote when I was in love
I wrote for the person I loved
I wrote for my family.
And now I am back at square one. Starting again from the stratch,
With my addiction - writing.
I know it's going to be my let out.
What's yours?

Book review: The immortals of meluha

Name: The immortals of Meluha.
Writer : Amish
Genre: Fiction
published in : 2010

Plot:
It is the first book of the Shiva trilogy
1. The immortals of Meluha
2. The secret of the Nagas

It is the story of an ordinary Tibetan man whom the legend turned into a God -The Neelkanth.
The story revolves in The Indus valley civilization around 1900BC. The inhabitants called this the - land of Meluha, created by Lord Ram.

What I liked about this book?
I like the plot development. The writer basically keeps us all so involved that it's difficult to stop reading. Also, imagining the story is quite easy, so we hardly forget the previous chapters.
The unveiling of the simple truths of life for shiva to understand, is quite a thing here , portrayed in differently intriguing ways.


Word by me :
I totally would recommend this book for the age group 17 and above.
It's an amazing book. Also it has many good virtues to give. Totally a good time investment.
It's a must read.

Love.

What is love? Want, need, control? What is it!
Well there's no exact definition of the emotions we feel.

Getting those butterflies in your stomach- seeing the person you love..
Loving your work.. working hard to achieve your goals.
Your parents love you! Unconditionally.
Love has endless descriptions.

It's important to know which ones apply where.
Most important is to love yourself.
Why?
Oh come on! Loving yourself and treating yourself right is extremely important.
It's only when you love yourself can you love others.
More importantly, why do you want people to love and pamper you..
Expecting from others means giving them the control on your actions. Their response whether good or bad is definitely going to affect you.

How to love yourself?
The same way you expect others to love you. To make you understand whats right, to be with you when you are low.
Learn to analyze the situation from a third person perspective. Be impartial.

Love though is an important feeling.
Why?
We all want to be loved. Humans we are!
Loving our family, work, that special someone makes us feel lively. It makes us want to become better.  We all need love in some way or the other.

What I have learnt is..
Love is endless. You can't claim to love some one or even your work when you keep on expecting the same positive results. Loving your work is going to make you successful no doubt. But with time be patient.
Loving someone is going to make you better and contented. With time, be patient. Just learn to lose a little bit of you to find an enormous bit of that person.
Everything gets better with time.
Most importantly... love everything!
We are so scared to love but fearless to hate.
Don't fear losing out on what you love.
You'll eventually lose it with so much of negative emotions
Don't feed the need to control evryone
Set it free, if it's meant to be it will be!
( Too filmy a saying but incredibly true)

Until then,
Achieve your own little milestones. Reward yourself. Push yourself up. Love yourself enough to lift yourself up.
Be your own hero!

PS. Something I felt.. mixed emotions.
