Broken souls

Dear sadists,

This is a letter for all of you who likes to take share of your contentment from others. You have inflicted pain throughout your life. This is the only thing you are good at, right?

Every hominid that comes into your life becomes victim of your vileness. Unless and until you snatch away all the happiness from someone you are not satisfied. You have lived your life forever like this; depending on others, feeding upon tears, screams, bruises. But how can you break someone who is already broken? Broken souls don't feel pain anymore. You think that you will extract happiness by tormenting them. But, sadly that is not the case. You see, this is the power of a broken person, they don't feel anything, anymore, come what may, they know how to tackle it and live through it. They are transcedental. You see, you can't crush powder, same is the case with them. Try messing with them and that powder will rub onto you, or you might slip and injure your head because of it. So beware!! Rather don't waste time on others.

Let me tell you one more thing. You are just a parasite; taking nourishment from other beings. You don't have a foundation of your own happiness. The day you are cut off from your source, you're dead; so why not try to become a nourisher yourself, a healer? May be, that day, you will become HAPPY in real sense.


   

Moments!!

We worry about our Future so much that we forget to celebrate the 'Present'. We humans have the tendency of amplifying the negatives and worrying about everything.

I want to ask all of you, have you ever tried to live in the moment? Life is nothing but a collection of moments. Some sad, some happy, some angry, some full of warmth and the list goes on. And we should learn how to live in the moment.

Tell me what will you achieve after worrying about your past. Will you be able to change it? And what will you get if you keep brooding about your future? Will that change anything? Will that make everything better? As far as I know, all these agonizing exercises worsen your current state of mind and also affect the people around you.

Try to maintain a happy state of mind. Create positive energy around yourself. Positivity attracts positivity; when you have happy and positive vibes around yourself, you attract more positive vibes. This helps in creating a healthy environment.

I'm often asked by people, 'How do you keep smiling all the time? What makes you so positive about everything?' My answer to them is, 'I live in the moments. I enjoy life's every little thing. Be it eating an icecream, cracking a joke, appreciating the bird's chirping, or just imaging random shapes by looking at clouds for hours, I enjoy it all, and that's what keeps me going.' It's okay that you're struggling, it's okay that you're having a tough time, everybody does. The beauty is how you tackle such circumstances. You shouldn't get in a flap about every problem. Everything has a solution.

Hey, you sunshine, its okay that the sky is covered with clouds, restricting your powers but not for too long, the clouds will eventually subside and you will shine with all your might, claiming that the world is your territory and conquering every single thing that the sun rays touch.

You just have to keep calm, stay positive, imagine good things. Remember, your thoughts and vibes matter. It's your life, you have the keys and the locks as well. You decide which doors to lock permanently and whick keys to use to open the locked ones.

Soulprints

We all have unique fingerprints, every individual has a different pattern which distinguish us from each other. In the same way, we all have soulprints. Each person has his own aura. We all have different vibes. Some are negative, some are positive; we have happy souls who are full of enthusiasm and everything optimistic. And then we have those envious vibes, some are sad, some are angry. You see we have different kind of souls around each other. All having specific characteristics that define them, that makes them unique.

Every day we meet different people, we interact with them; we share different bonds with different people. Whoever we meet in our life leaves a certain mark on us, on our personality and our hearts. They leave their soulprints on you, on your soul. Whoever we meet in our life, we leave a tiny part of our soul in them. We don't realize it, but we do. Every person has their own aura, everyone leaves a different impact on you. Some might affect you a lot, while some might have a slight effect. Some people energize your soul while some drain you out. It depends solely upon you, with whom you choose to stay connected.
Choose the people who help you nurture your soul, who help you in becoming the better version of yourself everyday, who leave their soulprints in the most pious and beautiful way.

Lastly, I just want to end with a quote,
"When you are done finding me outside, look within yourself. You might find my soulprint there."

And, if you feel like listening to the article instead of reading then here it is below:

Love Never Fades

When you are sad,
When you are happy,
When you are angry,
Let me kiss you in every mood because I want to feel your every emotion.

When you feel all vulnerable and just want to spill it all out, then please do, and after that when tears are rolling down your eyes, let me wipe out each and every tear with my fingers and smother you with feather kisses.

When you are all happy and speaking to me like a happy li'l baby, let me fill that sight of your happy face in the goblet of my eyes so that I can it cherish forever and then I will kiss you to let you know that I am happy for you and want to feel your happiness.

When things are not well between us and everything is a choas and we are quarrelling. After we end up fighting, let me kiss you so that I can tell you no matter how much differences we have, no matter how tough time it is for us, I will always love you. And no amount of differences can take that love away.
I mean it.

And promise me, no matter how big the differences we have, we will always eat together and you will never go to bed with an empty stomach.
Promise me.

                     

Utopia

You found me when I wasn't very lovable.
And made me believe in love again.

I was like this tree, drying up and dying every day. But you watered me with your warmth and care.

I was just waiting to die, lying like a lifeless tree trunk with only few living cells struggling to keep the tree alive. You came with a splash of rain gratifying my thirst.

When I stopped believing in human relations you gave me hope that emotions are still breathing.

When my eyes thought that there is darkness everywhere; you opened a new world to me where night never came and there was light all over.

I never had to explain things to you because you knew me even more than I know myself.

All these years I had always wanted someone who listens to me but I never found one. And then you happened. You wanted to listen to everything I had gone through, not only the happy ones but the sad ones too. You wanted to know about the struggles that I have gone through, not because you wanted to feel sorry but because you wanted to feel my pain. You wanted to understand me a bit better so that you know how I wanted to be loved and treated.

You never judged me for who I am rather you supported me in everything I did, just like the sun which never judges anyone and gives equal amount of sunlight to everything which comes in its way.

I was a mere chunk of glass but you melted me and moulded me into a prism.

Before I met you, I was winter. But now I am sure I will remain spring till eternity.

Natter

I had a conversation with 5-year-old me.
The 5-year version of me is so playful, lively and carefree. She loves to enact characters to entertain her kith and kin.

Last evening, me and my 5-year-old version were sitting in our verandah and listening to the birds chirping while devouring our favourite ice-creams.

She was telling me about her friend with whom she had a fight few hours ago. She was saying all nice things about her. I asked her, 'Are you not angry from your friend for cheating in carrom-board? She said, 'No, not at all. Why would I? It was just a game." I again threw a question at her, "But she was just so rude, and you hate it when someone cheats. Don't you? How can you forgive her?" She said to me, "She is my friend. We play all day together. She does so much for me. We both are a shield for each other in school. Last time, she punched Rahul in his face for mocking me. I kicked Jay because he pushed her and she fell and bruised her leg. After these two incidents nobody dares to mess with us. We are a team, proud girl squad. Fights happen, its okay, we are like this only, we are used to it. She said sorry, she was genuinely feeling bad for whatever she did; and I said, its fine. Now everything is normal between us. We don't think much about it."

After answering me, she said, 'Now can I eat my ice-cream? Else, it will melt. And then you will have to buy me another one. I don't like to waste ice-cream, you know that very well. I said smiling, 'Sure!' and continued to eat my scoop.

That small conversation with her, made me realize that the main problem which I now face is "over-thinking" and making things complicated.

As we grow old, we tend to forget that life is not about holding grudges; we should not cling on negativity. We should stick to positivity. Everyone has good and bad traits in them. If someone wronged us. We shouldn't forget whatever good they had done for us in the past. We shouldn't forget the happy moments we have spent together.

And, over-thinking is a devil which needs to be tackled and conquered. We should learn to enjoy life's little moments.

Also, when life becomes miserable, just look towards your younger version. May be, you get an answer; because, sometimes, what we were as a kid has answers to our complicated questions.

A lot has changed in these years, but what has not changed is, love for nature and also, 'me and my 5-year-old version love ice-cream'. So much so that we can trade the world for it. *Just Kidding*

Yahya, a conjurer who spells magic into words!

So, one fine day I stumbled upon this guy. He was all over the internet, every person in my friend list was posting about his poem. On Facebook I only saw snippets of the video but the words were so intriguing that there was an urge to watch the full video. So, I watched 'Shayad Wo Pyaar Nahi' on YouTube. And after watching that I was left spellbound. The way he expressed, the way he defined love was so freaking amazing. So true and so relateable. Every line that he said struck a chord that touched the heart. I remember how I read the title of the video again and again just to remember his name. I had read this name for the first time so it wasn't very difficult to memorise it, unique names easliy grab your attention, right? But to be honest I didn't know its correct pronunciation until I heard him saying his name. (Don't kill me after knowing this okay?! 🙈😅 I mentioned earlier I heard it for the first time. I love your name okay? 😍 Its just that I was oblivious to it earlier.)

Okay, so coming back to the poem, Shayad Wo Pyaar Nahi; when I watched it, the first thing which I did was; ofcourse, after getting back to my senses again, subscribing to Spill Poetry so that I don't miss out any other video by this super amazing poet Yahya Bootwala. 

I was never into poetry until I heard you. I realised that a door had just opened paving way to a new world which comprised of poems and stories. A world which was so blissful. After that there was no looking back, my interest into stories and poetry kept increasing every single day. I used to search Yahya's videos on YouTube. Whenever a new video released, I used to watch it instantly. I subscribed to Spill Poetry, Unerase Poetry, Tape A Tale, Fifty Shades of Uth just to listen to your magical words. I found a new world that was so blissful and miraculous. A place where I found solace.

Your piece 'Cycle' took me back to my childhood days again. How beautifully you related cycle's different parts with success, hard work and other aspects of life is commendable.

'Shehar' is such a thought-provoking piece. It made me question how time has changed and how we all have forgotten to enjoy the little things in life. It makes one relive their past and question their present state all at once.

'Mera Moment Phir Reh Gaya, made me shed a tear, actually more than that. The beauty of Tape A Tale is, all the stories which are narrated, they are lived by the person reciting it.When I watched Mera Moment Phir Reh Gaya, I couldn't see it in a single stretch because I was heartbroken when I came to know the truth, tears started rolling down my eyes. It took me some time to gather myself again and listen to the whole piece. Its really really very beautiful and heart-touching. 

Yahya, your TedX talk is really motivating. Thank you for taking all those wrong decisions, they gave me hope to take some bold decisions. "Life can take anything away from you, but what it can't take away from you are the dreams and the passion you have for them."

"If you believe in something, go do it, because, what people call stupid decisions today, might call bravery tomorrow." I will always remember these lines.

'Main Likhunga Tere Baare Mein' is such a beautiful piece. A smile remained glued to my face until the piece ended. Its same though whenever I listen to it. And, yes, it makes me think, will someone ever write something like this for me? Okay, I got swayed away, pardon me. Well, it genuinely makes the listener say, "Kya hui khata humse ki aisa pyaar hume naseeb nahi hua?" 

I watched each and every piece of yours on YouTube religiously; tried to search you on Facebook but you hadn't made a page by then, I did find your Facebook account though; I wanted to send a friend request too but thought it will look weird so I dropped that idea and I just tapped on the follow button so that I get to know if you ever post anything about your new writings. I never thought of telling you how much your poems mean to me until I heard 'Baarish'. This happened in July when your piece 'Baarish' released on YouTube. When I saw it, I was so mesmerised. This piece is just so beautifully written, it moistened my eyes, it felt like as if I had faced that heartbreak myself. Its so pure that anyone could relate to it. I didn't even see the video I just put on my earphones, closed my eyes and listened to it. Its not that the video is bad or anything but I just want to say that its so pure and amazing that I wanted to hear and feel it with all my heart. I loved it so much that for the first time I thought to tell you how much I loved it. So I opened your Instagram profile and commented there under the picture of your piece 'Baarish' which you had shared. I simply poured my heart out without thinking whether you will like it or not, hoping that you won't get offended knowing that I was more interested in listening to it more than watching the video. I mentioned the same thing that I listened to it with closed eyes, I didn't know that you would read it and reply to it as well, and you were not mad at me instead you said that it really means a lot to you. That was just so sweet of you. Unbelievable for me. I had loved Baarish so much that I also shared it with my bestie and she liked it so much that she started crying, you see this is the effect you have on people. The way you express emotions into words, so simple yet so impactful is unparalleled nobody can affect others the way you do.

Has anyone told you that your voice can work wonders?

Its just so soothing that it makes me forget all my worries. It may sound weird to you but I have an entire playlist of your pieces lined up so that I can listen to them whenever I need to.

Whenever I need motivation I look upto your pieces and your TedX talks. They actually help me a lot. The way you speak, the way you pour emotions into words is so honest and pure. There are times when people come to me asking my suggestion on a matter and I end up quoting you, I say, 'You know what Yahya says, he says that everyone can be a writer, you just pick up pen and paper and write whatever you feel, its all about how you pour your emotions into words and your honesty.' And it's just an instance that I mentioned; I remember each and everything which you mention in your TedX and other interviews, they are so helpful and I try to follow whatever I have learned from you. I am not exaggerating, okay? But I literally do this. Thank you for being my INFLUENCER and INSPIRATION.

You have always been a source of happiness and encouragement.

You are truly an angel, a conjurer without a magic wand or I should say, your pen is a magic wand with which you spell magic into words. 😍😇

Keep writing and keep motivating! 😇
