Just Now #AToZChallenge

Finding me under a huge load, Life asked,
"When will you complete your lists & tasks?"
"Tomorrow or the day after, or the weekend,
If only some extra time, time would lend!"

When I answered this, in a jiffy Time appeared!
"Are you out of your mind or joking?" Time jeered!
"I gift the same number of seconds to everyone!
It's upto you whether you work hard or have fun.

I Am Important #AToZChallenge

They said- "You are a garbage-bin.
You can only attract filth & sin.
You are idiotic; you have no talent."
I decided- "I am important."

They hurled abuses, threw refuse,
Treated me like gross stale news.
I still held onto my nature innocent.
I decided- "I am important."

They filled me to the brim;
And when things got really grim,
The garbage-van was sent...
I decided- "I am important."

It was interesting to see,
How I got cleaned thoroughly!
No more stinking content!
I decided- "I am important."

Do you feel Garbage-bins are important? Do you feel you are important?

Happiness Is... #AToZChallenge

Happiness is-
Warm smiles & family & friends by our side,
Honesty & integrity & no haunted secrets to hide!

Happiness is-
Feeling blessed & contented & feeling great,
Blissful awareness, positivity & celebratory state.

Happiness is-
Enjoying every moment & life's roller-coaster ride!
No gloomy thoughts; rather intense joy bonafide!

Happiness is-
Hope, Friendship, Food, Fun, Peace, Laughter, Smiles...
All that matter & raise the happiness-index across miles.

Happiness is-
Love for life & like fragrance must be spread far & wide!
Ours to earn & own if to choose happiness we decide!

What does happiness mean to you?

Grudge Me Not #AToZChallenge

Whatever I say or do for you is just not right,
Everything about me fills you with spite.

Okay, so you hate me & my ways totally,

When I'm there, you wish I wasn't actually!

You may wish me away, but I'm always found!
As you think of me even when I'm not around!
Are you still holding a grudge against me?
You are letting me live in your head rent-free!

Fear Of Failure #AToZChallenge

Does the fear of failure impale?

Do you never want to fail?

Face your fears without fear.

Success is not far; it is near.

Failures will lead to success,

They're opportunities that bless!

Feel free to fall & fail without fear.

Build yourself; use your top gear!

Exams #AToZChallenge

Everyday in life, exams we encounter,
Each has a different & unique question-paper.
Better not to compare with one another,
Questions are different, so are the answers!

Dream #AToZChallenge

Dreams don't cost anything at all.
It's hard work that demands its due.
Dreams need work, else they'll fall.
Takes courage to fulfill dreams new.

If we simply sleep & dream, who'll work?
Key is to dream big, work & achieve.
Dare not to shirk; responsibilities lurk.
Dare to dream; you'll succeed if you believe!

Champion of Champions #AToZChallenge

I was at my motivated best but still lost,

Like usual, I played my moves carefully, 

But, my skills, earned & used at great cost,

Couldn't win me the champion's cup actually.

Life is an interesting & serious game with rules,

And sometimes, info/guides there are none...

Do you know who has all the winning tools? 

Who is the champion - the best under the sun? 

Beautiful Lie #AToZChallenge

Life is a beautiful lie or a truth?
Why the race for beauty is on?
Beauty is skin-deep or uncouth?
Is all this a divine ploy to con?

Do you feel life is a beautiful lie?
At times, nothing seems real or right?
Do you too ask- 'how, what, when, why'?
Do life's challenges give you a fright?

Angry #AToZChallenge

Why do you get angry at someone who is angry with you?
Why to control one's emotions one hasn't any clue?

Erupting like a volcano means spewing lava molten,
Do you feel your anger will make you gain?

Does your anger dazzle & make you feel in control?
Have you ever tried holding a burning coal?

"Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned."
