Crazy yet happy.

They say "I am lonely".

"I am alone, not lonely". I smile and nod in disagreement

"What's the difference?" They smirk.

"When you're lonely, you crave for company while being alone is itself complete. It gives you a sense of solace.  Loneliness isn't a choice, aloneness is." I smile some more as I reflect on the profoundness of life.

"You sound crazy". They judge me.

"Crazy yet happy, ever felt that?" Sarcasm works for me at times.

I see them walk away. Not their fault though. They have wore masks all their lives. I wish someday they realise that being normal or crazy doesn't guarantee happiness, being yourself does.

Impress me not.

Impress me not with numerous expensive gifts,
But with a rose plucked spontaneously in a swift.

Impress me not by quoting John Keats and Shakespeare,
But with a poem inked by you, inhibiting all your fear.

Impress me not by praising my beauty,
But with sharing my dreams and aspirations beneath the starry sky of the city.

Impress me not with a high end date,
But with a random rendezvous with books where you read me stories I wish to listen and can't wait.

Impress me not with the cliche "I love you" and mushy talk,
But with your vulnerable thoughts while we take a walk.

Impress me not with the promises of happily ever after,
But with accepting the reality of having our share of pain, despair, happiness and laughter.

Impress me not!

Twinkles, stars, happiness.

I have been smiling from a while. These twinkles and stars seem to brighten up my life, for a moment. I look around, trying to find some imperfection midst this perfect ambience. For, imperfections define my dark thoughts , the darkness has been my companion since a long time. Nevertheless, today is a different day. The stars delude me into thinking everything is perfect. I am amused at the delusion of happiness these twinkles are inducing me with. The darkness is sinking in oblivion, and I find a sense of solace. Even if it's for a while, it all makes sense now. This moment, this time, the solitude, it's all mine. For a change, the broken looks beautiful and chaos looks sorted. Sigh!

Twinkles!

Things I often think about. Ordinary yet beautiful.

I am sitting here from a while. The wooden bench at the corner of the park has been my favourite since a long time. It is my happy place where I can sit for hours and calm the chaos that surrounds me all the time. The deserted bench feels like home, the silence here is amusingly soothing. I take a deep breath and look around, lots of people everywhere. Some familiar faces, some strangers. I smile when when my eyes meet theirs, they reciprocrate. A warm gesture that has been a routine from the day I started visiting here. Just a smile and that's all.
I am not that "lets talk it all" kind of person, I am more of a "lets just smile and get away with it" person. Socially awkward. That's me. I am comfortable in my silences, it lets me paint my chaos on the canvas of words. Maybe this is how I tend to survive, on words that I ink and the stories that I tell. It's late. The sun is all set to bid goodbye for a while. Time to walk away from solace and get back to the chaos of the world that is everything made up of paradoxes and contradictions. I walk away from my happy place, assuring myself of being back here tomorrow. The roads seem longer than usual. I take small steps, lost in the beauty of the nature revived by the rain the previous day. My eyes stop at a tree where the autumn leaves are falling. For a change, the broken looks beautiful. I wish the same was the case with humans too. We don't look beautiful when broken. I smirk at my dark thoughts and keep walking. The pain in my eyes is evident but, I still cling to the hope of another day. Life might not change in a day, nevertheless I will have my wooden bench to lean upon and share my comfortable silences with.

Pizza is love.

Alone, directionless and lost.

She woke up to the chaos of life, staring blankly outside the window for hours.

Suddenly, her eyes gleamed a little and a smile replaced her usual frown as she rushed outside.

Her box of happiness opened as her taste buds got the treat of her favourite "Double cheese crunch pizza".

The nearby pizza shop gave her the happiness that people around her couldn't.

Spring is about to come!

Don't be sad because the spring is gone. See the profound marks it left everywhere. Be it the blossoming flowers, the sky that seems like the nature's canvas or the chirping birds adding colours to that canvas, everyone is happy. You know why?

Because what goes around, comes around. Till then, lets cling to our dreams and hopes, wishing that spring shall be around the corner soon, very soon. ☺

So, don't be sad because the spring is gone. Okay? ☺

Spreading happiness! <3

Life is too short to have bitter feelings for anyone. Mistakes are a part of growing up. I do, you do, everyone around us does. No one is perfect. Nobody ever was and nobody ever will. So, instead of hating someone who hurt you, forgive him/her. Just let go, move on. :)

Why spend our precious little time we got on Earth, hating someone whose existance shouldn't even matter to us?

There are far more better things to do in life. Follow your dreams, catch up with a friend you lost contact with, spend quality time with family, your parents who would love you no matter what happens. Explore the world, write, sing, scream, paint the town red and when you are done with everything you ever wished, relax, keep calm and start it all over 'cause wishes don't come with an expiry date. :) :) :)

Spread happiness, Stay happy. ^_^. .
