“Who am I”

“Why do you waste your time like this?”,
a passerby asked a sanyasi sitting by the riverside.

He remained silent.

“Don’t you want to live a life?”

Without opening his eyes, in a voice deeper from within him asked back.

“You have lived your life?”

“I have. I still do. I have started a family, I own a house, and I own a business. made money, finding ways to make more, so I can live happily”, he replied egoistically.

“You think you will be happy in the end?”

“Yes, I have owned everything”

But with one reply from the Sanyasi, his ego was broken to smithereens.

“You don’t own your breath”

Mind’s Reflection

Scared as hell I glanced behind in search of the dying screams and weeping squeals, my shadow glanced back.

Silent Killer

‘Expectations’ brought me a friend ‘Joy’, but his enemy, ‘Depression’, stalked me till I shedded tears whose girlfriend, ‘Pain’, slowly wrecked me until I was no more.

Gaze

Flip

Happiness  cannot  be bought
while sadness cannot  be denied.

Both are the two sides of a coin
called life.

When we flip it, the outcome doesn’t matter.

The only thing that matters
is to have a mind to move on.

Reality

I opened my eyes.
Couldn’t adjust  the light
They closed.
the warm hands of sun
paced through the pores
and panes
and touched my skin
it was so bracing.
like a mother.

I got tickled
by the cold breeze
that brushed past
my hair as if it
wants to play with me
like a friend.

I felt loved by
sweet chirping of birds.
they sang a lullaby
and kissed me to
an alluring day.
like a lover.

But it all lasted for a sec.
They were shadowed
by tumultuous clouds
whose tears plummeted
Deep into my heart
it was abysmal
like loneliness .

I felt like a dross .
A day passed
and I realized all of it
was within me
It was just my fractious mind
it was just my mind.
just an illusion.
