Minds Eye Of Life

Holding back your thoughts, Suppressing your feelings, Strangling your dreams, What did you gain? Don’t let the dream in you die, Don’t let the child in you cry, Let your desires fly high. Some of your life may have been spent, Spent In the shadow of a saddened heart, But life is what you make it to be. You have it what it takes to create the magic, Stop worrying about finding the logic. You can always have what your heart desires, It’s never too late to live your dream.

Take me away to the world unknown, Far away from pain and misery, Into a world of smile and fairy, Far away from lies and treachery, Into a world of truth and honesty. Take me away to the world unknown, Into a world where you are loved, Loved for what you are as you are, A world that could accept the real me, No deceit, No masks, No pretence. Does such a world ever exist? A world away, a world unknown, I wonder aloud about my dream. The search for the paradise unknown Has no end in this life of mine, I find myself walking in the empty street Walking like a shadow on a dark night.

A few minutes back I wanted to start this conversation by saying: “I just finished reading Absolute Khushwant by Khushwant Singh with Humra Quraishi a few days back.  Liked it very much, he has been one of interesting personalities I have known in my lifetime.” But then a few minutes later I didn’t know what to write further. Well there is no doubt he is an amazing personality, someone who has always written fearlessly for sure. The best part of the book was cover page, It summarised the content in just one line “ The Low-Down on Life, Death and Most Things in-Between.” And then my thoughts wander back to the sight of an old lady. She is the vegetable vendor who sits outside a shop near my house. This lady is very much an interesting character indeed. She is old but not hapless. She is a very jovial business woman indeed. I see her always having an interesting conversation with almost all her customers. They all seem amused by her sheer enthusiasm. I again hit a dead end...

Money Silly Money, You are deadlier than a devil. People who have less of you, Die in the desire to have you. People who have more of you, Die in the desire to save you. Money Silly Money, Not having you is a pain. Having you is just another bane. You sow the seeds of desire, You turn an honest man into a liar. Money Silly Money, Where is this all going to lead? The rich, the poor will all die, Cemetery is where they all lie. The ones who had you, The ones who didn’t, Finally rest side by side.
