Snippets of the mind by Gagansvaid

You, a transmitter of songs - of dismay, valour and remarkable joys. The vessels that lead to my emotions occur in your eyes. Simplicity was defined when you said, I was no longer anyone to you. How effective that one sentence had been, both for you and me. For you in getting rid of me, and for me, it was getting rid of me again. Never again can a person be the same, when his/her first love fails. Moments of madness hail. But no, you can't let it happen. For - you set the world around when you lose your breath. Stay in the process of defining yourself better. Close your eyes and find your driving place. Right now you are short of words. Accept this with an open heart. Start your drive. Don't fall short seeing an avalanche. Be ready for a rebirth. That, the person who smiles has to be you. Congratulations, now, your happiness is defined not by her, it's about yourself and your new life, without her.

whether it's in your coming in or departing, that my heart would sleep? the one who succumbs, isn't really the heart those are the memories. you gave me enough reasons to know you well, only to leave me behind forging links to the girl whom i had known once, a long time back. not that our love was a bond that had a time-frame, it's still there and not that our feelings have dissipated. for they have grown immensely like the twigs lead to the branches. it could be true that our meeting was to help us discover how full of wonder the person in the either of us is. sometimes, it takes the interaction of soul-mates to lead the path for each other. they might not be together for every sunrise & sunset but their breaths say the definite songs of their togetherness. i love you, oh departing lover that's what i always had for you.

School friends are always special to us, and so it happened that we three had planned a meet-up after a long gap. I was excited to meet Ankur and Himanshu and our plan was almost on (proof being our WhatsApp group) but suddenly I had to change the outcome. I messaged in the group, "Guys, just got to know that I am selected for a competition. But the thing is, I need to be there for three days - it starts this Monday.") The best thing about friends is that they turn out to be the most supportive people on the planet, especially when we need it the most. I was tensed regarding what they would say to me for delaying the meetup, but what I received were congratulations and good-luck messages! I left for the competition on Monday and then finally we planned to meet on Friday! This called for excitement when I took my camera bag along while leaving from home to see them. All I remember is telling Ankur to take me to the Hanuman temple, a very famous temple in Jhandew...

What more can I say when my mind is out of pace? Yesterday, I thought the day was Saturday, whereas it was Thursday. " Moving so fast or are you left still in a mental condition/dilemma where you walk a different mile?" I questioned myself! This very situation makes me remember a chapter I read in one of Robin Sharma's books, where he described how it wasn't an urgency to wear a watch in one's hand every time. That, it wasn't important to pick up every call on your phone, because telephone or technology for that matter exists for our convenience, not to drive ourselves out of it. Similarly, don't just keep on reminding yourself that today is Friday, Saturday or Sunday! Yes, I very well understand this that in our everyday lives it is important to keep a check on the date and time considering work and assignments. But why not try setting yourself free of all the boundaries constructed around you? "Take some time off and give yourself time for expr...

The day when your light meets you.. when all your worries are left behind and you have the urge to learn and succeed. You don’t want to be looked down upon anymore, and it doesn’t even matter how you are seen by people around,  because you are crowned, as a princess of your infinite possible dreams.. you are the power, you realise..  and you don’t count your happiness,  but feel the magical streams, touching your life in magnificence and belief!  YOU ARE A WINNER, REALISE IT!

Life, in a few words would be like “a storm, cool breeze and a picture of a person sitting with eyes settling at the sky above.” There is not much to say, but a lot to hear and feel. It would be like listening to the composure of the winds, watching the beauty of the landscape and believing in the never ending adventure that lays in front of that person. ‘Silence’, is appreciated. ‘Smile’ is always reciprocated. ‘Love’ has its own fine language of purity. Deep thoughts pop-up, realizations meet you, many roads appear to you, yet you wait for the right calling. You connect with the calmness of the lanes, the play with the animals, the deep talks with fellow wanderers. You are ‘who you are’, a unique identity, trying to make some meaning out of this so called ‘life’. The one which has no beginning or end, it is a long journey, about which you never contemplate when it all started or shall end. No, I am not talking about the time you were born, but simply when the realization starte...

I could never wear the mask of what I wasn't. Whatever I was, I was the most happy in being that! I would definitely try to be a better person, when it comes to organising, managing my tasks. I love to exercise to get my physique in shape, I love to spend time with the kids whom I teach on weekends sometimes. I feel that the pressure at work of the whole week gets dissolved when those little kids smile back at me. I feel a small walk while the sun is up, gives me the greatest peace. To find my grandmother waiting for me everyday, gives me reason enough to consider myself the luckiest! There are small joys that make me human, and act humanly. Otherwise, I might have been a negative person, someone not understanding the meaning of myself, my life. I wish to reach heights, but with this journey, that I can call mine.  I don't want to cheat on someone. While at work, I want to be smart. I am learning, that makes me happy enough! -- Gagan

There are those times in life when you can't say but only feel. This is one such situation. The point is that I am thinking too much but then what can I do? When it's the fault in my stars! -- Removing the covers of madness from her face, she felt the cold breeze making its space in the deepest corner of her heart. To the world she was a comedian but this comedian needed the moments of peaceful embrace too. She liked silence, away from the showbiz, those cheers and buzz of the crowd that greeted her every time.  This was the time when she was her true self, the one which she only knew. -- "It is difficult mom," said a 10 year old boy. "That’s why you need to win it,” answered the mother. “But it needs hard work mom.” “And you will do it.” As the mother said these lines the boy’s confidence reached the seventh sky. Years later he was on the television winning for his Nation at a global sporting event.  He could thank his suppor...

I like it when your eyes keep their firm gaze at me. I know you see in me the inspiration that I see in you, I know we are happy in each other’s company. But then we stop expressing the ingenuity of the feelings we have for each other. You don’t reply to my letters, just the manner I don’t respond to the letters which many school boys and girls send me, telling me that they liked my last novel. I think I deserve it for being so rude and singing so highly of my talent. But you know what, I don’t care whether they still like me or start disliking me. I never wrote to make them please, if all I wanted anything, then it was to earn the tag of a writer. I wanted to tell you that I was good for something in this life of mine. You know why? Because I care for you, I don’t like this nature of mine, but I cannot stop myself from liking you.   I thought you would be proud of me too, the way you sing praises of people who inspire you.. here I don’t want you to sing praises of me, ...

Writing for money, writing for causes you support, writing two-three lines to make yourself happy, where has the writer who wrote senseless articles gone? The long narrative posts saying anything and everything, where have they gone? The countless comma's, the without proof-read articles and stories, where have they gone?  You miss those writings of yours? Do you? What is more important for any person; his passion or sustenance?  You can't drive your passion without firm ground where you stand! For what if the world drifts beneath your feet and you drown.. what would passion do in this case? Here I don't want to prove myself right or myself wrong, I just want to be myself for once.  More than any writer or someone who pretends to be one- I am a human being. I am someone who even if he doesn't know how to write has a life. Yes life. Life as comes with the winds that pass, life that feels broken apart, only to be stronger the next moment.  Life that I...

It had been a warm day, not that it was about the summer season alone; but also because I had a pleasant day since morning. The last day at a work-assignment is always meant to be special, starting from the nostalgia that strikes—to saying the final byes to other fellows at work, it can be sentimental too, for some.  "Would you come again sometime?” She asked me with curious eyes. “Yes, of course. I will come to see you all, one day again.” I had said, changing the emphasis from her, to everyone in the workplace.  “Nice!” Saying this, she got lost in her cabin; knowing that I had been lying. At last both of us were free. Free from letting love hurt us anymore, we would be free birds in the coming days. No longer waiting for each other at the train station, and going for lunch together. I had told her, that you will find another friend who could be as good as me, or better; but she always said, that the spaces created by me would always remain empty.  Thi...

14. The father waited for his son to come and sit next to him, so they could interact about life ahead of him; the son a great achiever didn't have time for his father, since he was busy updating his bio on facebook, to tell his friends what he was doing. His virtual friends congratulated him, and he spent time in thanking them for days; only to take away that moment of glitter and the proud feeling from his father, on his son's achievement. A relation was at one place built  with the world, whereas a relation that should have meant the world stood secondary to the son. "The times have changed, or have we changed them for ourselves?" Something to wonder and think about for oneself, isn't it? ‪#‎ artistaddress‬ Snippets of the Mind, Mindful Stories To read all the Snippets, click  here

13. Facing Troubles to Breathe Easy! Every day is a new date with struggle. Every afternoon, every evening, every night—one word, struggle, struggle, struggle. This is what penetrates, this is what remains; struggle is in every lane.  By writing about it what do I want to show? That I am afraid, or am I not able to cope up with the times or simply, is my way of working incorrect that I am trying to pace up things, and am not able to do what I am trying to, or that it is taking time? What is it that prompts me use this sort of speech in this very writeup?  I have asked many questions and think that it is the time to answer them for me, for no one can do it better for me than me, myself. I write it because I find peace writing about it. It is not only to add another blogpost to my blog, it is also to add one experience that I am living at the moment. For I believe in writing things because they would make me happier to read days later, when I am well off in one way or the...

"Connection bhi na badi kamaal ki cheejh hai.., " this dialogue captures you in its vibrance and vivacity. It is indeed true that it is connection only that makes you go back to watch the film of your favourite actor, the Baadshah of Bollywood. The film is moreover based on a fan of the superstar, enacted by him only.  "Jabra Fan", the song which hit the blockbusters prepared the fans to eye towards the releasing date and finally the date is here. "A date with your star" , would not be wrong to call this day. After looking at the fan following of Shahrukh Khan, it can be understood that the release date of the film actually means a lot to his diehard fans. When I use the word "diehard" for his fans, I mean it in a way that these fans have stood by him through thick and thin. Whether his films hit the blockbuster figures to a high or didn't win many hearts, his fans were always there as his greatest support system.  Although it came a...

12. Many sides within of you lie unknown to the world. As much as you hide yourself, that something unknown that lies in your heart pinches you a little, and a little more. You feel combustion in your heart, your mind begins to boil like iron—then finally you say it all. Now you are free, you are calm, once you have let it all out, that you have released finally what otherwise created problems for you.  In saying the truth maybe you shall lose some people you thought would always understand you, but you came out honestly at last. You said all that lied in your heart, you are free as wind is with no strings attached. The people who were to stay, are still there while others have left behind or their own ways.  You are smiling now, knowing that you can be who you are with your people and that there is nothing to worry; you are home with yourself, and yes your people who understand you, would never leave your side. They shall guide you, and never let you become who yo...

11. Being there, not being there, you are still there. All lies in your mind, what you want to see, that you see. ‪#‎ presence‬   ‪#‎ artistaddress‬ ———— To read all the Snippets, click  here

10. (Meeting Yourself) "Those eyes looked up at me once, those eyes no longer look up at me now. Those eyes are experienced now." Life comes to all of us in different volumes. We are never so easy to be read, we are deep or at least I am deep. Some people would be straight forward in their interaction with others but I do feel that even they would be lost in their understanding of life. I am sure even they would be left to ponder over who they really are and what defines their identities. For as much as they try to be clear, they face the reality of the world which isn't always familiar to their conscience. They are not the God's that they can predict the world or their destinies, they have to live up life, and write their own stories. Hard work is required, struggle is required and the willingness to accept and work the challenges is very much required, to knit our stories.  "To be who you dream to be, you have to knit your world that shall take y...

9. A Walk Into Your Destiny! Maybe the walk was conscious enough of its route. That it knew where it was treading , but what about the walk that I carry within of me? Within and outward of me, what difference lies in the "walk" that I talk about? Is this walk of the soul only or is it also about the people who accompany  me in this walk? These questions I ask myself given the fact that most of our day is spent talking to other people. We listen to them, interact with them and understand the world better. So where does the very notion of "soul" step in? I ponder about. But then I get the trick. The trick is that the soul introspects over those thoughts that are talked about with other individuals . Also this brings us back to reality , the connection that is formed amongst the people on ground. Later on we ponder over those thoughts when we are alone and comfortable thinking over them with our innate self, our conscious and subconscious mind. When we t...

8. —FINDING MYSELF What is this emotion? Why is this emotion? Why am I not behaving normal, and what is being normal? Such thoughts come to my mind time and again. I feel incomplete yet I don't want to make efforts to bring things in order. I just wish to breathe free but I cannot—that is what problematises the situations for me further. I like this order of things, i.e., no order at all. All haphazard like, and nothing definite about life in my sight.  I think Meditation can make things easier for me. I think I need not think too much and not go diverse ways, but at this age I cannot be so logical. Or even if I need to be, I don't want to be. I want to explore the reaches of my being, I wish to see diverse regions and search what is the best for me.  I wish to see what I see in the wild pictures, I wish to roam around the places which make me wonder, and I want to be of help to those who are far away or nearer to me. Distance doesn't only interest me, i...
