Dear Aadhya,

Dear Aadhya,💕
I haven't met you,
But I have heard a lot about you,
Your beautiful smile made us feel beautiful,
The way you used to roll your eyes, made us fall in love with you more with the passing time,
Your poses made us wonder and smile at the same time,
Your innocent smile, that fought through pain, will remain in our hearts.
You gave us the courage to be brave, no matter how worst the situation is,
You were an inspiration,
You gave that hope,
You remain a fighter forever,
You didn't give up till the end,
The brave fight you put up, will push us in our dark days, for sure,
Even though you lived for the shorter time,
You made us learn the biggest lessons of our lives.
It's surreal that we lost you.
But, dear Aadhya, am sure,
You are in a better place now,
Free from all the suffering you went through,
Leaving footprints in our lives which will never fade away,
We love you and will miss you,
You will always be there in our hearts.💝

P.S. Aadhya is my best friend's niece, who is 5 months old.

You don't have to be a bird, to fly!!

As I looked out of my window,
I saw these two birds flying high,
Hovering over everything proudly,
Making turns and twists swiftly,
I wonder, why most of us,
Always, wish to be a bird,
To fly high, like a bird,
Is it because we don't recognise our true potentials?
Is it because we want to run away from our responsibilities?
Or, is it because we failed to realize that we control our lives?
The answer could differ from me to you, you to him, him to her,
And, her to everybody.
But the truth is, we are solely responsible for our lives.
We can still be free like birds,
Take our own decisions,
Create our own niché,
And, live in our own magical world,
If we think less about what others say.
And think more about our dreams, our purposes and our very own existence.

The Familiar Pain!

The pain lingered on,
The more, when I tried to ignore,
The less, when I tried to face it,
But not all the days are same right?
Some days are just too plain,
You don't feel like a fighter,
You don't want to fight,
You just want to lay still,
You want those curtains on,
You want everything around to go mute,
Today is that kind of a day,
I gave in to the pain.
I was in 'Challenge yourself a bit' kind of mood,
I thought it's better than batting away,
The swirling mess of my thoughts.
Okay pain?
Now, behave yourselves, okay?
Let's hang out together today,
Only today, you get it, right?
