Leave me not

come to me
as lightly as a raindrop falls on a leaf
but dont leave me
as smoothly as the same slides off


Dont ask :P

Soul Of A Child

Working with kids is the most beautiful thing in life. They drive me nuts, make me wanna smack their butts and scream my lungs out at them. But the little things they do bring happiness such as I have never experienced before.

Their love and affection is so pure and spontaneous. They are never afraid or embarrassed to express their love. They hold no grudges. Having been screamed at only a few minutes ago, they will still be the most eager to share their little packet of sweets with the teacher. And when the teacher refuses them, they wont take no for an answer and will stuff it in the teacher’s mouth haha.

The most simplest of things matter to them the most. When u tell a boy to wait at the gate for the teacher and not move from there till the teacher comes no matter what, he eagerly puts up his hand, waiting for the teacher to finish talking. When she does finish, he eagerly asks, “teacher! What if I need to pee?” hahahahaha

And they are really aware of the teacher’s dressing style and everything! When she wears something different on some day, they ask her if she is wearing a new top. And they are the most sweetest things on earth when they tell her bashfully that she looks pretty and then go all red haha.

And, boy, are they interested in the teacher’s personal life. They want to know which of the many msgs that she gets during the day is from her boyfriend LOL. Of course, they refuse to believe that she doesn’t have one. If they do, they even suggest that she gets one hahahaha

Its an experience of its own, being with these kids. It’s the time when a person is brought back to his own childhood and feels his heart being purified of all the issues that haunt adulthood. It’s something that would tame the wildest of beasts and heal the most wounded of hearts.

Pain and Loss is the best teacher. Or is it?

If u keep telling a child, "Fire is hot. Dont touch.", the child will never truly understand why he shouldnt touch. The child does not know the concept of heat. He does not know the pain that heat can cause. Hence, he will never know the true danger behind touching fire.


However once the child has touched fire and suffered the pain it can cause, he will never go anywhere near it again.


Pain and loss often result in wounds so deep that they never heal but leave a permenant scar in one's heart. Even if it doesnt have such extreme repurcussions, the least it would do is make the person wiser about handling his life in future just as pain teaches the child to be more careful around fire.



But what happens when one doesnt learn even from pain and loss?



Every human being screws up their life to a certain extent. some to a very large extent. The mistakes we do in life are for us to learn from. the first step to that, is to identify and accept that its a mistake. when people fail to do that, they start digging a deeper grave for themselves.

But how much more pain is required to teach the most imprudent of persons the lesson abt life? How much more does such a person need to lose before he sees the reality of his situation? And, most importantly, what if its too late by the time all this happens?

God bless these troubled souls.

Sublimity called Life

Have you ever experienced the sublime?

Ive experienced physical sublimity in the presence of nature. its a beautiful feeling. when you are sitting by the shore. Staring out into the ocean that expands into nothingness. You feel so small and helplessly finite. Hearing the roar of the waves and feeling the powerful pull of the current, everything seems unimportant. for you know that against the power of nature, nothing survives. no one can fight.

Spiritual sublimity, on the other hand, is much more strenuous for the mind. there have been points in my life, when things whirl out of control. nothing happens the way i want it to. thats when i feel there is some force that is much more powerful than anything. it has more control over my life than either me or those who brought me into this world. some would call this force love. i would too, if i didn find the word too over-rated lol

Heart and Mind

The heart and mind as i understand it from my very own life is as such.

The mind responds more to carnal instincts and reacts to the immediate and basic needs of mankind. food, shelter, water,clothing, sex, entertainment. Just as an animal kills instinctively for food, the mind often behaves rashly in times of need or trouble. just as an animal doesnt stop to think of the pain of the other animal that satisfies its hunger, the mind often doesnt realise the repurcussions and implications of its actions or thoughts. i would go to the extent of saying that the mind reflects the animal in man.

The heart, on the other hand, i believe forms the humane part of man. the heart stops to consider and to feel. The heart questions. and it answers. the heart sets us apart from the beasts of the wild. atleast its supposed to lol. when the heart interferes in the matters of the mind, ethics is born. and so begins a war btw whats necessary and whats right.

ive crossed many such junctures in my life. where the heart and the mind part ways. but its up to us to make them meet at a midpoint and have a balance of both whats necessary and whats right. for this is a world in an era where absolutes dont exist.

My Bed of Roses and thorns

i named my blog as such cos that is what my life has been so far. a simple bed of roses and thorns. ive felt the silky brush of the rose petals soothing me and ive also felt the pain of the thorns pricking and making me bleed. however, i must say i got a good equal share of both.

this is life as i understand it. the good and the bad will take their turns. never fail to bathe in the joy of the good. never fail to face up to and learn from the bad. and whatever i do or dont, i never fail to laugh at myself! haha ive found it to be the best way to keep the spirits up in any situation!
