New Life #AToZChallenge

The pool looked refreshing & cool.

But, to plunge into it, I didn't dare.

I was reviewing the rules of that school!

I maintained a safe distance there.

Magical World #AToZChallenge

When we were first introduced, love struck me.
It was the starting of a lifelong affair & romance...
Then, I realized there were more of the kind-
Romantic, Philosophical, Movies & Travel fans.

I loved each one, one at a time, exclusively one-to-one,
When I felt done with one, I moved on & settled down-
Picked a new friend; changing another partner was fun!
Spent some nights & days with this friend for company.

Little Again #AToZChallenge

How strange is life with its ups & downs!
Lessons to learn with smiles & frowns...

How our wants & needs change along the way!
But, what'll happen tomorrow no one can say...

When we are little, we can't wait to grow-up soon!
The idea of being 'big' & 'matured' makes us swoon.

Time waves its wand with its quota of age & pain...
Many grown-ups realize- they wanna be little again!

Kiss Of Life #AToZChallenge

The kiss of life is so sudden & strange,
It implants itself on those in its range!
It just grabs asking no one's consent.
For being alive, we need to pay rent!

Each of us is an object of life's desire!
Kiss & say goodbye only when we retire.
Life kisses us in so many different ways,
Do you shudder or welcome its days?

Our souls aim for salvation- the bliss.
On its path, no one can miss life's kiss.
Many kisses of many lives for you & me,
Our actions are shaping our destiny...

Does the kiss of life take you by surprise?
After each kiss, do you feel silly or wise?
When life kisses, are you taken aback?
Do you willingly or grudgingly kiss it back?

Do share your views about the kiss of life.

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!
