Hi, how are you?


She was walking in the midst of a confabulatory crowd with hazy sets of dreams playing in the mind. She was content with them. Happy to listen to them, sad to come back to the reality. This life was beautiful. Lots of beatific moments lit up her face. The happy laughters arround her somehow made not much difference. She was happy being there, in her own happy space. Inside her blissful bubble. Away from the monotonous and boring daily routine.
But someday someone strange came up to her and asked her how she was.
How are you?' was a simple question. But obviously some simple questions can't be answered, and some others make you glad. This question made both.
A smile was all she could give. Rest of the seconds she sat staring at that person, trying to figure out why this person gained so much of her attention just because of one question asked. Because she couldn't stop. Everyday she would search for that person, forget to get back to her happy void, hoping to read that soul as much as her brain could understand.
She had seen no one who was interested in her life. She had thought life was like that, worrying only about our beauties and beasts, helping people only when they asked. She had forgotten that life was much more. That sometimes being courageous enough to step back from our daily routines and saying hi to some other similarly distressed soul makes such a huge difference to them. That making time to listen to the beautiful stories that otherwise would just perish inside a lonely mind would make such big difference in their life. Sometimes taking care of another person, another creature Or another thing teaches us much more than listening to our own stories.
Let's ask them. Listen to them. Appreciate their fancies. Cos we have more than just ample time to listen to ours. Let's start moving from mine to ours. Let's be the coolest.

Walking, Dreaming, smiling.

The ultimate state of freedom doesnt come by having the right to choose what to wear, or by choosing the guy you want to marry. Neither does it come by talking against your family and going with your friends. The ultimate state of freedom is acheived when what others talk about you: infront of you and behind you, stops bothering you. When what others think about you least bothers you. The ultimate freedom comes when you have full liberty to listen only to the voice of your heart,  to you soul speaking, to your music dancing. It is then that you are actually in the state of happiness, the perfect state of happiness. Bliss.

Listen oh you out there. They dont matter. They dont matter,  neither do the other "they"s matter. Its only you who matters. And yeah you do matter but the boundary for that is your life. And that's the best part about it right? I mean doesnt it make life all the way very simple. Precious oh yes but simple. Simple because you are not under the burden of what others think about you, cause ultimately they just remain sayers, they just remain plain walls echoing and irritating you till you decide to walk out of that room. And then the wall has no option but to shut its mouth. Or it can Continue blabbering to itself but that is secondary. That is his or her life, his or her karma. Let him or her be. You can always choose to walk out. You can always choose to move away from things bothering you. Oh yes thats the best part. You can think whatever you want and theres no one to stop you other than yourself.  So that's it,  you have an naked ocean infront of you keeping itsel...

Its never too late to take actions. The sun and earth have supported us for all these years and now it is high time we repay them, no actually not repay, since repaying them is impossible. All we can do is do something so that we can survive in this planet for few more years. Sigh. This is where we have brought ourselves into. Anyways where there is a will There is a way. Start caring for the mother. Its not like you dont know how. We can see environmental friendly posters everywhere. So the first step is taken. Take the next step. Here is a small poem I have written based on the same.
