Desire and Despair

It’s said that “when you really want something to happen, the whole universe conspires so that your wish comes true.
Sometimes things are like, the more you desire, the farther it will go. With your each step forward, you’ll feel like its taking two steps away from you. As it moves away, the harder you work.
Even with the mocking multitude, you still work. Even harder. Even more Harder. Harder than ever.
At one point, you’ll feel it’s lost forever. When your desire turns despair. When we leave it to fate saying it’s not my destiny.
And one day when you have lost all hope and have started feeling contented with what you have, you will receive it as a surprise Gift for all that you had done.
Life plays all such games. Our Life itself is a Game, which has to end today or tommorow. Our duty is to play it best, as we may not get a chance again and leave the rest to God.

As Time Flies...


As Time flies
As Relations fade
As new People come
As old People go
As Relations break.
As Wounds heal
As Love goes for a vacation
As Hate shows up from nowhere
As Friends come
As Foes come
As Darkness spreads
As Light glows
As we welcome Changes
As Time flies

You may meet many people sweeter than me
But never a "Me"

You'll always be special for me
Coz there is only one "You"
