The Girl Who Found Herself
*Scene at her office*
*A girl with a fragile body, pale lips and thin fingers is working, completing a file which seems as if it is the last one because no other file can be seen on her desk. Suddenly, there is a sound *Dham* and she looks up. She saw her senior standing on the other side of her desk resting his hands on the latest heap of files that he seemingly he had brought for her. She looked at the pile and then she looked at the clock which was showing 4:45 p.m. She turned back to her senior to say that it was already too late and that the office time was about to get over but he had already left. She could only hear his commanding voice as he walked out of the office, "Boss wants these at his table first thing tomorrow morning!" She sighs and starts working again.*
*Time Skip*
She looks up and it's already 9:00 p.m. 🕘 she packs up everything and leaves.
*Cut *
She guided herself to her house. After climbing the stairs to the second floor really carefully she opens the door to her house. The lift was as always out of service when she needed it the most.
*At her house*
With a loud *bang* the door closed. There was a loud *thud* and there was a girl sitting on the floor looking at how everything was scattered. Papers were all over the floor. She looked as if she would break down any moment. Frustrated, she sat and started picking up the papers lazily. After she was done, she was still sitting there but it seemed that this made no difference. But, it just worsened the condition, as in front of her there was a smiling photo of her. Smiling as if it was her, who owned the world. The girl in the picture looked really happy, really healthy and her skin was glowing so much that one would be needing sunglasses to look at her. The girl in the photo was just her younger self. But the girl who was now looking at the photo was completely different. She reached out for the frame and threw it away.
The glass shattered into pieces but the girl's smile in the photo did not fade. She came back to her senses; she picked up the pile of papers and placed them on the desk. "Really? They call this little work!? I am not able to do the work on time! My files are incomplete! Don't they see the number of papers in each file!? I skip my meals, my house is a total mess and neither I am able to find time for myself. I just sit there trying to complete everything, and as much as I can! Still they are not happy! What should I even do? What do I do!?" She was thinking while cleaning up her room. Tears started to roll down from her angelic looking eyes and she said out loud in a shaky voice, "Even tears are allowed to escape but I am not even allowed to walk away from all of this even for just a second." Then she saw something which made happy as well as sad. There were a lot of paintings kept carelessly but it was not the paintings that caught her attention, the thing she noticed was a painting of a night sky, a beautiful painting but it was left incomplete. She saw brushes of all kinds lying there, stiff because the paint hasn't been washed off. She picked up the brushes and saw her colour palette still full of dried colours. She was now not paying attention towards anything else. She looked out of the window and to her utter amazement the night sky outside was exactly the same as the painting on her canvas. A wave of excitement rushed through her. She started painting and completed it within an hour. She completed her dream which was incomplete and in fact she completed the missing part of herself too. Now her path was clear. The next day she resigned and got herself a spot in the city’s best Art Gallery. She now did what she loved and followed her way to the destiny which she wanted to reach since she was a mere child. She now was a professional artist. So at last, that girl finally found herself in a way she would have never imagined.

In a small town named Poovar, there once lived a man called John Franklin. He was absolutely humble. He was a hard working man. He lived with his wife and two sons. He loved to work, and made enough money to feed himself and his family and he always went on vacations with them. He was really gentle to all his fellows and helped if somebody asked him to. His boss Mr. Kanata was also very happy with him and his work, as he completed all his work and did some more and was very quiet. He was a person who minded his own business. Slowly, John got promotions and now he was a really busy man. He got more load of work and he started working overtime. He went early, when everyone was asleep and came late when everyone was already sleeping calmly in their cozy beds. During this time his children going to school and young, he changed. John changed from a person very calm and who loved his family to a person who loved the loud harsh sounds of machines and who loved to work overtime to make some extra money. He got so busy that he forgot that even has a family. He worked tirelessly, thinking to make a good amount of money that he can save for his two sons. He got old and soon at his death bed he made his will giving his property equally to his wife and sons. The day came of his funeral and he was to be buried in a peaceful graveyard. There were few people, his wife and sons, his few fellow friends and the priest of course. Their he laid peacefully thinking that all he did was for his sons. John after he died remembered his wife and children the most and decided to go back to them. He went to his house and saw that his wife was now happily married to one of his friends who was a widower himself and both of his sons were using his money carelessly and did not speak good of their father. One of his sons said, “Happy he died! He at least left us with some money, because all his life he was too busy for us. No wonder mother married again.” he said half happily and half sadly. John’s spirit heard this and he was thrown in his past life flashbacks all he could recall was memories where he was working after some time he came across one frame where he was sitting with his wife and sons and was happy. He was young and was playing ludo with his family, intentionally losing to his sons. He thought what he had become. A man who feared to lose and was angry if he did lose. He was now guilty and thought that how he has wasted his life making money for his children and his wife but never cared for them. Never spent enough time with them. John’s spirit was too sad, it went back to it’s grave and just hoped that in another life, he should learn his priorities first.
Have you ever thought that whether are we really living a LIFE, like we should?
For me the answer is “NO”. Our daily lives today are bound to offices, schools, studies, jobs, computers, mobiles and so on, but it is not what it should be. We humans are able to express our feelings like we want to, but, we are not using that power are we?
In our daily rush we forget to take care of things that are far very important than things like mobiles, computers, X-Boxes and televisions.
There are things more worthy of our valuable attention like, nature, animals, birds, etc. but do you think that are we doing our part? Our life has become a play, where we HUMANS act like dummies who have forgot about feelings and relationships completely. I believe animals would surely say, “Humans please behave like you should, because we also don’t act like sometimes you do!” Faking emotions isn’t right, is it? Of course it is not, it is just like fooling yourself,wearing a mask on your face. I think we have done enough for technology an now it’s time for ourselves, family, friends and all others. Enough of playing MINECRAFT and ROBOLOX and all the other games, let’s play what we used to in an open airy ground. I think it’s time to cuddle a living being, whether it is a pet, an animal or a human. Because of technology people became close but their hearts went very far away from each other, let’s bring them back. We are just becoming enemies of our own eyes exposing them to such radiation and bright lights, let’s give them a break, a treat with a beautiful view of nature, that comes free. Why are we being so greedy!? Even a lion never attacks when it’s not hungry, then why are we so greedy for everything? I suppose our lives are going on pretty well even without a PALACE or a BMW. Humans are social animals, let’s not get caged with things that worth nothing. Let’s socialize again, not on social media but a in a real society.
The problem is that we try to seek happiness in money and promotions and we completely neglect that the best things we can get out of life, are all free. They are provided to each and everyone of us. We just too busy to notice them maybe. Remember when you last admired the starry night outside? No?
Let’s pause, just for a second, think that are we really living a LIFE? Take a deep breath look around and you’ll soon get to know that the best things never left you, they were there, all this time and you just never noticed. Neglect the things that deserve to be , not your life.
LIFE IS MEANT TO LIVED AND NOT NEGLECTED.
The picture seemed beautiful, so I just wrote what I thought.❤️😚 This gave me a feel, very soothing. Seeing the picture and reading what's written. The painting is not done by me, credit to the owner.❤️
Being a Human.
It's not our body which is considered as a Human, but our soul or spirit which lives in it. Body is just like a machine, and it would not work if there will be no soul. Once your body gets old and is now no more in condition to be used, the soul leaves it and it is when a person is said to be dead. If we were not having soul inside is, we would have been just a puppet, who doesn't feels emotions whether it is being happy or sad, angry or cool. The life would have been pretty boring. This is something beyond our understanding but we can still get an idea, and that is that the body is made of muscles and bones, organs and all sorts of veins but, a human is when there is capability of feeling emotions in that body.
Humanity is what makes us human. It's a great boon for us to be humans, to be able to express ourselves like we want, to do what we like. It's an opportunity like no other to make this world a peaceful and a beautiful place. So, let's not do something that will only disturb the image of "Humanity", because we will be guilty if we do not use this time, up to the fullest as the results will be bad for us and equally bad for next generations too.
There may be times, when you fall and feel broken. You feel like, you are done with all of the earthly things and think to give up, then I advice you to read this.
There may be such times, it’s not a great deal. Just try to be a little bit happier and smile a little wider.
This didn’t help? Uhhhhmmm. Wait, then read this:
So, you are sad, for whatever’s going on around you, everything’s going on but not correctly. You’ve fallen, but no one is even there to help you,get up. I see, then all you need to remember is that while cycling, you may have fallen, a thousand of times, but it has always helped to you, to pay more attention, to drive more carefully. Isn’t it? Yes, it is. Remember when you fell in front of your friend? You just laughed it of, right? This is a fall similar to that. You always fall, to get up and do a little better and try a little harder. Remember your goal, for which you started this journey for? What about that? You’ll get up and get going, right? That’s what sport’s-man-ship is.Don’t forget that when you reach home, there is always someone to ask you if you’re okay. And even if you live alone, you will always have yourself. You feel sad, for you are not perfect for everyone? You don’t need to be. If you do everything by yourself then what will others do? They’ll be jobless. Oh! You are perfect. Actually everyone is, just in their own way. You always need to see the bright side. “Every cloud has a silver lining” remember. Now all you’ve got to do is, put on a smile, a real one and start from where you left, because starting again would be tough. Now you are getting back to your way to your goal, aren’t you? Good!! There’s always a step ahead, and not too far.
What is a matter of time?
The ting that goes on
and never ends?
In a matter of time
You see a sapling turn to a great big tree.
You see an egg hatch into a bird, chirping on that tree.
It’s only a matter of time- and,
you’ll see a million of changes around.
Your shoe doesn’t seems to fit you any long.
In a matter of time,
you start smiling
after when you were crying.
The world keeps changing around.
The period when you were a child has gone and
now you are young and much strong.
And you soon, realize, it’s just a matter of TIME...
-Vaishnavi Singh
Written by me. I just wrote that previous topic, to compliment this poem.
The story from nothing to everything. Everything was not always the same, as it is now, in front of all of us. Everything kept changing, changes happened and it is now that, we are seeing, and surely as nothing is constant, it will always keep changing as the time will always keep flying. People from nowhere come and gain success on basis of their talent, it never takes a lot of time making a crying person laugh, it is always easy to forget griefs in a moment, because the time flies at it’s own speed. It’s just a matter of time that you see, your shoe is too small for you now, it’s just a matter of time that sapling changes to a big tree, this is the importance of time. All these changes that take place are always a part of this flowing time, that will never cease, some small memories, make up the best of the memories, moments that may seem small right now, will be very precious to you, may be you will like them even more than gold or rubies. All these small things are also as important as time. As we all know that time has never waited for anyone, and will never wait for anyone either, so, why not let’s gather some speed and try to keep up at it’s pace, but don’t try to keep up so hard that, you just loose all your stamina and stop. The moments that are gone, are gone for ever, you may recreate them, but they will not be the same. So, let’s try to respect and give value to Time, let’s live every moment to the fullest, because you never know what lies ahead. Let’s use this time wisely. Let’s not waste it on things that hardly matters. Let’s take some time out to praise the beauty of life, nature and the beauty of other people’s heart. Let’s take a break, let’s go and sit and talk with our family and friends, rather than working overtime, because nothing is constant. If you miss a family gathering or a party with your friends, you’ll feel bad for it, forever. If you miss it at that time, the same time may never come. We still have time, to make this life a little better, a little prettier, a little quieter. Let’s do it now, and not be late. Because the time gone, will never come again.
When "Me" meets "Myself"
It's more of a blessing to realise that the most important person to you will always be "you" before it's too late, because then you'd be ashamed for how you ignored each other for so long.
God, give me wings so big and strong which will make me fly high in the sky, but don’t let me forget what it was to walk slowly along the beautiful countryside. Please keep me happy but not so much, that when sad times come, I break down. Make me have all the happiness and luxury but never let me forget what fun it was, treating your friends at your own birthday party. Make me a good person, but not that much, that I don’t remember annoying friends anymore. God, keep me busy with work, but not that much that I don’t get time even for myself. Make my friends happy and rich, but don’t let them forget, the love we share. God give me these things, this is what I care for. Don’t let me keep any other thing in my priority, other than Nation, Family and Friends, because other things deserve to be secondary. Give me the power to be a good listener and a good speaker, so I can always lend an ear to people in need, and give them the best advice.
This is all I want, you to be with me always and guide my way.
When you are alone and you’re depressed , you always know that out there someone is there to help you get up, to make you feel happy again. You can share everything with your friends. They hardly care, about themselves and stand up for you. They act as your spine. They don’t care whether you earn 1 rupee to 1 lakh or you earn nothing. No discrimination is allowed when you are a part of friendship. Stand up for your friends too, because they need you to comfort them sometimes too. They need someone to listen to them , without questioning them.
In life there will be many people who will swarm around you during your good times but only a few will be there for you, when you are going through your hard times.
