M for Memories

One life is all we got, it’s filled with excitement and events.

From the childhood, we pass various phases of our life, school life, college life, crazy youth and the serious midlife. Then comes along a time when our life breathes and lives along with that of the tiny ones, their achievements, their happiness, their trouble and sadness, is everything what we are concerned about.

Soon they grow up, and all the time that passed becomes memory. Some good, some bad, some bring a smile on your face and others make you feel sad. But all in all, it is the memories of the days passed by,which make you feel closer to the moment. Captured in the frame of a camera are the amazing times that you had. The once in a life time experience- the beautiful wedding, the birth of your kid, his first walk, your first drive , those vacations in the country side, all are but in the past now. Memories are what keeps them alive.

So live the life you wish, have an eventful life, and live in the moment, for these are what creates an outstanding bunch of memories.

L for love, laugh, live

I truly believe in these three concepts.

L for life, is a gift of God. To waste it, is to waste the blessing that He has bestowed upon you. It is very important to appreciate what you have, to be content with what you get and not to crib about things you can’t have.

Living

Living is to take in all that is there to life. Life is too short. If we don’t make the most of what we have, we might be too late. Regretting is the worst feeling of all. When you have the opportunity, do it. Don’t wait until the perfect moment, for no moment is perfect if you don’t want to make it perfect.

Laugh.

 Can I put any more emphasis on this?! The fact that we should live our life, also leads to this truth, that the more you laugh, the merrier, the happier will you be in life. Laughter is such an amazing medicine, that it can cure your depression like it was almost nothing.

Love.

To love is to live. Love is not restricted to that special someone. Love your parents, your siblings, your friends, neighbors, pets, everything and everyone around you. I say this with great confidence, if you can love others, you will truly be happy, you will finally define the reason for your existence. 

With Love,

K for Kolkata

Kolkata, my lovely hometown,

City of joy, a place of which I am proud.

Filled with music, books,

Talent all around.

Words can’t express,

The beauty of this place.

It is an experience,

The joy of living in this place.

The early morning breeze,

Is a happiness drug for me.

Passing Maidan, those wide lanes,

I feel something that’s hard to explain.

The horse chariots on red road side,

Victoria memorial gives me pride.

Beautifully lit up roads at night,

Makes a perfect setting for a drive.

The mighty Ganga, ever so clam,

Flowing beneath the Howrah Bridge.

At the sunset time, with the boat ride.

You wish, you could hold the moment, feeling so alive.

We anxiously await Maa Durga’s visit,

With great happiness do we greet.

All year around we wait along,

Just for five days of Puja and fun.

The kal baishaki, the crazy rain,

In no other place is the same.

The winter morning, the foggy sight,

Making the day look like night.

With the breeze of the evening hour,

Comes the sweet scent of shuli flower.

I sit there and enjoy the surrounding,

It is my infinity calling.

With Love,

J for Jyotsna

Years ago I meet a girl,

My friend she was so special.

We called ourselves best buddies,

Remained together, inseparable were we.

First friend of mine was that girl,

Had hair with little curl.

As if we were glued,

Walking side by side, together we moved.

One day she left the school,

Left no one with any clue.

Being so close, I did not know,

The reason behind the sudden no-show.

Days and months and years went by,

But she was still in my mind.

In one class a teacher said,

That she left the world, a journey to heaven she has made.

The floor beneath me slipped,

I stayed still, with disbelief.

Convinced I was, that the teacher was mistaken,

For my friend was so young, she couldn’t go to heaven!

It felt like someone was continuously shooting at me,

And yet I was breathing unable to take out the life within me.

I was crying inside, oblivious to all the sound,

But not a drop of tear fell on the ground.

It took a while for the truth to sink in,

I just wish, I had one last meet to tell her what she means.

To tell how I loved and cared for her,

That she was the best friend I could have asked for.

The faces fade away as years go by,

But memories remain with you all the time.

Where ever YOU are I just wish,

YOU are happy, YOU deserve it.

With Love,

I for Infinity

In this moment I swear, we are infinite,

The words of the author still lingers in my mind.

It was a simple car ride,

That made him feel infinite.

The words are little,

But the meaning is not so light.

I remember these beautiful words,

Sitting alone at night.

Infinity has no definition,

Unexplainable, but not a fiction.

It is in the moment that you feel,

Infinity is very much real.

The smell of the spring,

Peaceful breeze in the evening.

The beauty of the world around,

Creates happiness which knows no bound.

A song, a book, a movie, a view,

Could trigger emotions you never knew.

It is in that internal flood you find,

Infinity, peace of a divine kind.

A company of a girl and guy,

Was all that he needed to feel alive.

He felt it, and so will you,

Infinity is approaching you!

With Love,

H for Heart

It is a part of me,

Not a piece of toy.

It has feelings and emotions,

Stop making it a part of your ploy.

The looks in your eyes,

It was all but fake.

I fell for the person,

The amazing man you could make.

The long walks, those never ending talks.

Were they all a part of your game?

Because the moments we had,

Never made me feel the same.

The things you said, the promises you made,

Still lingers in my mind.

Was I not good enough for you?

Or another girl did you find?

I never told you how amazing you are,

Couldn’t express or tell you my dear.

You are a shining star,

Then and now, you are so far.

If our paths ever meet,

I wish you remember me and greet.

Knowing this existence wasn’t our destiny,

I dream of the future, to suppress the agony.

I wish our “if only” could come true,

A life I could have with you.

In my heart will you always be,

When I close my eyes, your face I still see.

With Love,

G for Girl

Disappointment was all around,

When the little one opened her eyes and looked around.

Wanting a boy was on their mind,

Entering the room, a girl, did they find.  

As she grew up, a little brother did she have,

Playing with him, love was all she gave.

All she wished for was to be loved like her brother,

But she was always treated as the unwanted other.

Today she walks as a company’s chairman,

Everyone respects her, calls her Ma’am.

She knew the battle was her own,

Making a life, now she shows the world to the level she has grown.

The little brother, whom she still loves,

Is an employee in the company she works.

Giving so much importance to the boy, what did the parents find?

He considers them a burden in his life!

The girl that they considered unwanted,

Who craved for their acceptance.

From medical issues to family outing,

Lives today with them, takes care of all their expense.

A girl child is not a curse, not a mistake,

It is a blessing that God gave.

Respect her, love her, encourage her,

She will rule the world, she has such Power.

With Love,
