If.....

If

If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with triumph and disaster And treat those two imposters just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to broken, And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breath a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on"; If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run - Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son! -Rudyard Kipling P.S.I think...It is one of the most inspiring poem ever written ...Brings a smile! P.S.S. Thanks for the picture!

Oneness...

I stood and watched . It was troubled , restless, like a helpless honest soul , beating against the hard rocks, angry large waves rising their heads , wanting to destroy every bit of it . I kept standing, staring at it blankly, and felt the oneness with the sea as if I understood what it felt, the emotions and the turmoil . It continued like this as hours went unnoticed as if both of us found solace in each other .........

Sun was shining , people were walking up and down the beach, I was still standing at the there observing the serenity , gentle waves caressing the rocks , a nostalgic salty breeze that whiffed through my hair as I looked at my feet and stared at the glistening water for a moment . Shells, pearls, beautiful stones all lay there, gifts from sea in all shapes and colors, a rare sight. I picked one and it gleamed as it rested on my palm and the rays of the sun fell on it , it was precious, I had seen nothing like this before, a hidden message. I could see those gifts clearly as calmness prevailed after the troubled times were over.

P.S. Inspired by an advice by a close friend..thanks!

Eyes...

What is about those eyes ..that even after all the hurt and all that pain ..which ripped me apart and brought me down on the floor ... made me bend all my principles by whom I always swore....... and still wanting to scar me more ; made me melt away ..give them one more chance every time...in the want that things would change in favor of me one day ...

what is about those eyes.....that even after all the coldness and all that wrath ....which pushed me away and broke my fragile heart .....made me cry lonely tears in remorse and beg for mercy as if I never wanted anything more .........that still made me comfort them...dry all the tears they shed..... hiding from them all the ones I wept ...

what is about those eyes .....that I just cannot stop believing them ,living every moment by them ...I know it might not be the best path for me , it might end up at the place I never want to be ....but then I cannot over come the look of innocence in those eyes ....those sparkling beautiful lovely mysterious ohh! so lovely eyes...
