No X, No Z

WHY do we dream,
and if we do WHY with open eyes.

WHY do we hope,
and if we do WHY expect high.

WHY do we want,
and if we do WHY it never satisfies.

WHY do we laugh,
and if we do WHY with a cry.

WHY there is a lie,
and if there is WHY dont we try.

WHY are we so certain,
but still no reply .

All around us
there are things
Which we think
what it seems
but why dont we realize


There are no X
There are no Z
but only a Y!

The Golden Rule for communication

Sometimes there are certain things in your mind which are so clear and precise. You understand them very well and feel like conveying them to others. Yet the person whom you want to convey just does not sees it. How hopeless you feel at such situation. I am sure this thing happens with many of us at different points with different people. Sometimes the person in question could be the one with whom you share the most comfortable relationship and the best understanding yet you cannot deliver your idea that effectively the way you see it.

Well I know sometimes it becomes very difficult for us humans to communicate with each other. We see the dogs barking around and feel that the communication between them is so effective. But sometimes we feel so useless when we want to convey something to a person whom we really want to see it as we feel but we are so ineffective in doing that and then we start questioning ourself. It might seem so easy but still it doesnt happen the way we want.

When we want to convey something and we are not successful in doing that its not because of our limitation to good communication. Neither is it due to we choicing a less effective way for communication. Well thinking about it I discovered that problem behind this is an "attitude" in us which is quite genuine. It is actually the attitude that the listenner has. If you think about it then you will be able to see that "You can only tell a person what s/he wants to hear". You cannot just "Tell a person what you want him/her to hear". These are two different things.

So to put your point forward either you have to tell the person what s/he wants to hear. But then that will not be what you want to tell the person. So to tell what you want :
1. either wait for the person to be ready to hear it or
2. you have to somehow make the two things i.e "what you want to tell " and "what they want to hear" as one and the same

Well the first thing is pretty simple and does not needs much effort. It requires patience and i believe, knowingly or unknowingly, is the method most of us follow. The second one requires a lot of thinking and understanding. And this I believe if understood could be the golden rule of communication or I should say effective communication.

Making a person believe that what s/he wants to hear is exactly what YOU want to tell!

My toughest decision

I still remember when we started together
Not knowing where to go
My way or your's
But one things for sure
We both realised
Its gonna be fun with you on my side

But down the lane
A few steps gone
I had a hard look
At the path we were on
As a surprise it came to me
This is not where I'm suppose to be
And so I questioned myself a lot
Do you wanna go ahead or what?

So I made this decision to leave you alone
You may say I am selfish
But I am not wrong
You think I'm doing it
For my very own sake
But believe me when I say
I don't want to make any more mistakes

And today when finally the time's gone
I hope you'll enjoy when I am not around
I will leave you here with wishes filled in my heart
Have a great time ahead on your path
And yes, don't worry
Things have to be fine
As you'll be on your way
And I'll be on mine

Why didn't I, bob?

There was something on my mind
I thought I would say
I was thinking all the time
But coudn't find a way

The words kept on mumbling
But I turned them all away
Not really knowing
What's ahead on my way

As the days passed by
The thoughts began to sway
The words lost their meanings
And feelings they once conveyed

Now the thoughts are broken
And I am in dismay
Tried to jot them down
But they just dont fay

There is something on my mind
I think I will finally say
Yes you are rigth, Bob
I do regret it today

HOPE

I hope i get that...I hope we make this...i hope it turns up...i hope it happens...

Well there are many more things we say in our usual life. These are just few examples. But what i wanted to say is that HOPE is one of the most used word in our language. And also the most natural of human emotion. Well i was thinking about what hope really is? Why do we humans rely so much on it? How come it offers us so much comfort? First i would like to list many thoughts that came to my mind when i questioned myself "what hope really is?"

1. Hope is like a book we want to read kept in front of us
2. Hope is like a language we know and we understand
3. Hope is like a song we sing
4. Hope is like a dream we dream
5. Hope is person we want to be

So do these thoughts really tell us what hope is?

Well i can say they do. Because if you really see and understand then HOPE is a BOOK kept in front of us which we want to read but for that we need to know the LANGUAGE it is in because then only we will understand the SONG in it which tells us about one of our DREAM which we want to be true and if that becomes real then we will become the PERSON that we always wanted to be.

So that sums up for me what HOPE really is.

My Memory Lane

Walking past down my memory lane
I met same people with new face
The things they said seemed to be real
Yet so different, so insignificant

These talks we had also before
The words are same but the meanings differ
Is the place different or the time?
What is new I cannot find

I have been there before
I know it alright
But every time I go there
I get a new surprise

How can it happen I sometimes wonder?
Are these the same roads I use to wander?
The time that I spent there does come back
But never brings with it, the things I had

How are the roads same?
Yet the distance so long
My journey has started
But the destination has gone

Walking past down my memory lane
I met same people with new face
Where is it leading me I need to find?
To fill the void of my mind
