The Summers gone by!

Summers bring with it
memories hard to forget
Your waking me up with wet hands on my face
keeping the cold coffee in the fridge
Being there on my bedside like my own personal sunshine
then staying up late just to see me back home
Your smile
Your eyes
those hands which always held me up
getting angry at me
then making up with your special cup of tea
It's been months since I had anything
made by your loving hands
or heard you calling me from afar
hearing your laughter ringing aloud
or listening to me patiently speaking my heart out
Whenever i turned around, you were there
never judging me, holding me near
My heart swells at the thoughts of your face
hugging me, proudly smiling, just being there
you were my best friend
my best man i used to say
the one who gave me my 1st card
who made my Valentines day
the one who would give me roses on my birthday
and the one who made me who I am today!

Dad - I miss you! More than the words could ever say!

The Restlessness of it all...

Ever face situations, where you end up talking to yourself all the things you wish to speak to others? All the disappointments.. all the expectations.. all the needs.. all the things you wish people would understand..Over and over and over again. Till the point you no longer see any use in ever getting the conversations out.. and you have only your heart... and your mind... and your soul... to listen to you..

Travel - taking a backseat from the mad-rush called Life!

Whether you are travelling or when you look back into your travels, either by way of pictures or writing about them, it gives you a moment to dwell upon such mysteries of life - as to take a break from anything that blurs your mind, from thoughts that threaten to play with your peace of mind. It's no wonder I love travelling - it's like the oyster you enter when you are reading a book, all by yourself, yet with new eyes... and fluttering hearts!

Floating
like a rudderless ship,
In search of something unknown
It seems just within the grasp,
yet slips away as soon as it looks within reach
Directionless,
millions of thoughts engulfing the mind like a spider net
fighting battles with self 
on what's right and wrong anymore
don't know who's friend and who's a foe
an intense need to be free
free from shackles unseen
to once more come up the water
catching breath, hiccuping
to be free from it all
and just be with the self
knowing, aware
happy once more, from within.

And just like that.. suddenly you realize that so much has changed.. and that you'll just never be the same again...

#MusingsOfARestlessMind

And sometimes.. you yourself don't know the questions you are trying to find the answers for....

Life - as we know it!

Sometimes, life throws you such a googly you have no answer to. 

Sometimes, things happen to you which you are least prepared for.

Sometimes, important things become less of a priority, 

and the ones that are less important cloud your vision.

Sometimes, you have more questions than you have answers for,

and sometimes you have questions that are best left unanswered.

Sometimes, life becomes a mystery,

and then again, sometimes it becomes the very source of misery.

Sometimes, you wanna stay in the moment and bask in the sunshine, 

while sometimes you so wish you best stay hidden.

Sometimes, sleep eludes you for the millions of things running in your mind,

and sometimes you embrace sleep like a caterpillar in its cocoon, 

to hide away from all that hurts or threatens to break you.

Sometimes, you feel like running to someplace unknown,

and sometimes you feel tired from all the running away.

Sometimes...

Sometimes, the very life you were born to makes you question the meaning of it.
