  • Memories

    Love them or loathe them,

    Seems you can not forget them.

    I wish to hold on, cherish & celebrate,

    Not to look down, label or berate.

    Good, bad, ugly, they are what they are,

    Can’t fathom all of them from where I am, near yet so far.

    Holding onto each piece dearly as I can,

    Fearing, some day I may loose them all.

    Since I can’t turn back time or travel into the future,

    I desire all of it to immortalize, be alive, be nurtured.

    You say let’s not rock the boat,

    I say but let’s also not build a moat.

    Wish one day we can meet in the middle,

    Until then, let’s not try to solve this beautiful riddle.

  • Happy birthday or Sad birthday

    Is it just me or you also have felt sad on a birthday ever? Sad as it reminds you of aging. Or sad due to the feeling of loneliness on one day of the 365 days of the year. Or sad due to missing someone terribly on their special day.

    Two for Joy

    If yes, then let’s try to remember our loved ones, honour their rituals and feel blessed for what exists and what lies imprinted in our memories. ✨

  • Avoid or Embrace

    Obviously avoidance strategy works best. Whether it’s a pesky person, sticky situation or unpleasant memories, it’s easier to avoid that path and gradually push them out of your memory and lives.

    Look for the silver linings

    The harder path is to embrace, internalize and register the goodness. This makes the recall pleasant as you can train your mind to keep the memorable details and skip the rest. Easier said than done, try journaling the two side by side and you’ll be surprised by your resilience and strength.

  • Burden of memories

    For all the years past, all the love lost and all the silence borne. I wish I could cry in your arms until the tears stopped flowing. I wish I could erase the memories sparing just the laughs. I wish I could ease the pain until only love remained.

    I wish I could find words to express. Courage to ask forgiveness. Strength to meet you. Intellect to rein emotions. I want to keep the memories minus the aches, the experience without the trauma and the faces without the words that were exchanged.

    In forgiveness I seek freedom. Freedom from guilt, ache, painful memories and all the sufferings related to it. For in my mind I am still the wrong doer who is out free and hence doesn’t deserve to be happy.
