In Search Of Illusive Happiness


Why are you searching for the lost happiness?
It was never yours, nor will it ever be.
For no one can stay happy forever,
If it was so then sorrow would be an orphan.

I sit alone and remorse the absence of happiness,
The more I want it, the sadder I feel,
This pursuit of happiness gives birth to the evil of sadness,
And in this very moment I ignore and forget,
The sacrifice I make of the present.

Yet the heart seems to rule the mind,
It keeps the hunt on, for something that is illusive to find.
With the life in tatters,
There seems nothing more to cherish,
Than a dozen half smoked buds and few empty bottles.

I wander alone on the beaches of shame,
I seem to forget the purpose, the goal and also my name.
And then finally resting my head on the rocky shores,
I call for the end of misery as I knock on the silent doors.

The flight had to make an emergency landing owing to the bad weather. After ten long years Sanjeev had finally decided to take a vacation. Akash had convinced him during a casual chat on Facebook the previous night that it was high time he broke out of the self imposed shell and fourteen hours later he was on his way to meet his childhood friend in Delhi.

Awakening Of the Inner Self!

It was yet another  Friday  or billions of earthlings. May be it was a mundane day ahead for some and exciting for others. An exciting day ahead for the ones who were certain of the joy to be unwrapped the next day, the weekend. Well, in my case it was the former. Blame it on being one amongst the many who work on Saturdays.
