Snippets of the mind by Gagansvaid

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...

More or less Less or more Deeply you interpret Whatever love said Slight or more More or slight You paint vision Your light There is a volcano There is a mountain There is a wall There is an instrument You see them You admire them You live them Then you leave Walk goes long Alone You go breathless The walk carries You find your shadow Tall figure acquaints You smile, you fall On the sands It is you Only you No one else You breathe You die A happy death

I think I had known you, Even before I heard your voice  for the first time- I think I had seen you When I say, I had seen you- I never mean that I saw your face, What I mean is, that I felt  your touch, in the pearls of wisdom which generated in my heart, whenever I sat alone or was lost, I found you sitting next to me. In my good times- you were my companion, In my bad times- you were my optimism, For, companions can often support us in following a wrong path- where we are treading, but optimism would connect us, to humanity. I had to figure out right or wrong, I had to figure out who I was? And your presence gave me all answers, helping me form a bond with you, a bond that is faceless,  yet has the most breath-taking persona, a face I try to find through the light and resonance of the winds, in this fast moving world, I long to meet you, and tell you that I respect you the most; and searching...

7. There are those moments in life when I want things to fix but it appears that things are immovable. I feel lost, I feel like I am powerless; devoid of any energy to go beyond. There is a lot of work that I long to do; there is a lot to perform, to achieve in life. So much so that the thirst or call it passion does  not disappear into anywhere. It just comes up, it just makes me stronger but guess what I lose on the part of life where I have to actually move things. At the same point, it is not that I am unsuccessful fully—all that happens is, that somewhere or the other I am adding to the river, droplets of my toil. This toil is towards my dream, a dream that I see and have been seeing for a long-long time. For me people become barriers and they appear immovable to me—but that is how life is I feel. Maybe they are the forces who make this life worthwhile. They are the ones who bring as much energy to me, as much strength to me—that later on in life I would be prepared to st...

6. There are commitments in life, and then there is commitment in different forms. One is the commitment that we make in personal life, and one if the commitment which we make in the professional life. In my view there needs to be a difference between the two and if two friends are working together, then they need to follow a different relationship at the work-front.  The next important topic I want to talk about in my article is, values. I think values can't be taught but should be felt. I feel, values need to be there in the real sense of the term; for the goodness and wellness of this world. I feel so! UNDERSTANDING. There needs to be that space within our hearts to accept the other person as one is. Not to completely let that person over rule you, but while you give that space to breathe to the other person, that person should also provide you with that space. It has to be a mutual thing and if it is not, then there is nothing happening right between you. There ha...
