Dreams

Beneath the starry sky,
behind the closed eyes.
Dream is what we see,
as we fall asleep.
In the silence of the night,
our mind flies like a kite.
We enter into a realm so peculiar,
anything can just appear.
Even when we asleep,
our dreams don't sleep.
In dreams, we own the world it seems
so why can't we just live in dreams?

Dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi

Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan!

I should be content with what I have accomplished, but there is always more to learn and always more to gain! I hate this feeling, to be honest. I hate being in the constant feeling of what could have been better! Don't you think we should just stop striving for more? Stop dreaming about earning more money; stop getting lured for promotions. But then what is there to live if there isn't more? This thought has been a constant conflict for me. To stop or not to stop, that is the question! When I was around 15, my mother used to say, "Tu jaldi bada ho gya" meaning, "I have grown up early." I was very mature for my age and started looking at life very differently than my peers. All I wanted was "Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan," but nowadays, I find myself in the same rat ra...

There is nothing wrong in this the yet to be bride was happy and every girl was happy listening to her. But what concerns me that none of the girls asked her these, How good the guy is?
