A Journey!


The adrenal rush, the excitement to go.
Fighting the temptation to stay in the comfort zone.
With packed bags and high spirits, we get ready to explore a place unknown.

Travelling miles for a cause, with an undeterred spirits despite answering the journey’s call.
The arrival to the destination engulfed with the shock to deal with the new situation.
Making us skeptical of the unknown zones with no comforts at all-makes you remember your bed and home.
A safe haven, where you reside, and never have to think twice.
The sleepless nights on the floor, with a scared feeling and the threat from the unknown.

Apprehensions and discomforts could never let you down.
As you are not just a tourist to experience comforts of the place and getting lost with the crowd,
You are  a traveler who  endures the fall, experiencing the difficulties and braving it all.
The aim is to go back with something, with a dear mate, discovering something to  tell a story that reiterates a journey, different from ALL!


(This work is an outcome of the current journey that I am undertaking with my best friend. We are placed in an area close to Cambodia and we are a part of a volunteering initiative in Thailand).

It’s strange how the distance never mattered, and somehow I managed to keep you forever in my soul. I failed to comprehend my feelings.  Impressions of you, in my head, never change. With a binding permission I look forward for conversations, even though I know  even though I know there is no where we will ever go. A distant dream, I have always cherished, nurturing your thoughts, I would always want to be there (for you). I can’t name the feelings that I have for you. You are a person who has secured a position in my heart, without doing any ‘due’. I might not be a true person, but when it comes to you, everything changes and my true feelings come through. To me you are star, far in the sky; doting admiration unfazed by the distance. I look at you and there is twinkle in my eyes. Only I know how precious you are t...

Thoughts......

Sometimes crazy, sometimes sane, Sometimes elated and sometimes sad. Making you anxious, making you insane. Bringing back to your senses and sometimes taking you far far away. Your thoughts make you, break you and shape you. Taking you to a place unknown, gearing you up to face the future. These are the highest source of motivation, known to you. Holding-on to your thoughts and shaping them is hard, but worth the trouble. For these thoughts become the significant essence of 'YOU'!

Your Words and 'I'

The smallest gestures duly getting unnoticed are sometimes the biggest source. Beyond symbols and illustrations, 'words' predisposes innumerable situations. For a being relying on actions, words too hold high relevance. For the source of these words legitimizes the prayers to comfort the struggling soul. It is these words that have led me through, helping me overcome the toughest patch, and I owe it all to YOU. Saved as messages, I revert to them- when all hope is lost, I surrender to those uplifting sentences. These words of encouragement and appreciations kept me sane. Even though I claim to be my own savior, I reverted to them time and again, For these have put the humble 'me', on the highest stands. Honoring these words, I make numerous attempts to fulfill these claims. However simple it may seem, but these words do matter. A gentle reminder to use them with discretion- as these simplest of  words can strike the deepest sensations. This poem is ded...
