Penned Thoughts

Now, before all the non vegetarian readers start criticising the title, I promise to convince you all with some relevant points that will make your mind think again about your eating  routine. I mentioned about "having an option to turn into a vegetarian" in the title as the fact cannot be ignored that the tribes dwelling in the forests have no option but to feed on the animals. Following are the counter arguments for some common beliefs which keep roaming everywhere when we talk about this subject. • Need for consuming meat Long back, when people didn't know cooking, they used to shoot down animals to fill their stomach. In the present scenario, we have come quite far through food industry. Therefore, we now don't need to harm those animals to satisfy our hunger. • Controlling their population by consumption This is literally the lamest excuse to justify being a non vegetarian. People think if they don't eat meat, it would pose a threat to the environment because...

I had a choice To pack my last shirt And my courage  And fly towards my dreams  Or to list the consequences And fear it's aftermath The price I would have to pay Which was incalculable It's funny to recall My prior mindset- I feared to regret  Yet, wanted to make a mistake I never talked to anyone About my dilemma For validation from unhurt Is just a shade of dark Never imagined  I'll meet you, this way Where we share the same story And we're each other's saviours I honestly consider  I made a choice in haste But your presence makes me feel, What a lovely mistake! We both have paths to run Though they don't intersect But your face will always remind me That consequences can be beautiful

In our life spans we come across a lot of facts people tell us, theories that they explain and beliefs we feed our minds. But in this jumbled and raw process, we forget to, or I should rather say, we don't feel the need to differentiate between FACTS AND BELIEFS. For now it might seem lame to even discuss about this subject, but this is a part of our mindset which takes a small place in our brains and rules our lives! It affects our decision making skills as well as our perception toward different aspects of our lives. So here's my theory about these two terms which are often confused by everyone. It takes a lot of research and observations for scientists or philosophers to bring out a FACT for people. So in this case, we have the reasons, evidences and studies to conclude that what we think about that matter, is a fact. Proven. Universally accepted. But what's a belief ? It's simply a truth we make for ourselves which doesn't always have a logical explanatio...

Family. A word which holds people and emotions together, which unites everyone under a roof. Not chosen, but these are the people who are meant to stay together and be each other's support systems. But don't we often take family for granted? Not all can share their problems and have a long friendly conversation about life, despite living with their "families" in the same house.The communication gap increases to such an extent that awkwardness fills the void. Now the question is- "Is this okay?" Definitely yes. They don't need to know each and every detail about your life, but will always have an open ear and a kind heart to whatever stories or blues you want to share with them. Sometimes they teach you how to live ALONE and still be HAPPY, and  they assure you that you always have them by your side. Maybe, these kind of families have more issues and emotional tensions as compared  to other "regular" families, which are way more t...

This is dedicated to all those soldiers who lost their lives for us in the Pulwama Terror Attack on 14.02.2019. Ek mausam aaya tha Sabka sukoon le gaya Karne gaya uski hifaazat To badle me jaan le gaya Or pohocha diya esi jagah Jaha mere jaise aur bhi the Garv hai khudpe Jo ladne Ka mauka mila Bas ek khwahish thi Thoda waqt mil jaata To maa ko aakhri Baar Apna chehra dikha paata Maa, fikar na Karna meri Khush hu me Yaha Jaha ho Kuch galat Nazar hogi meri waha Aaega ek din Jab har aasmaan me Hawa ki jagah Lehraaega hamara tiranga Vaada hai mera Agar mile ek aur Jaan To wo bhi hogi Mere desh pe kurbaan

This isn't a phrase we come across very often. But this term, according to me holds immense significance in this world. Children are always expected to be strong emotionally and should learn how to face problems in their lives, since their childhood. And after growing up, when they don't seem mature enough to make their decisions or opinions, they have that same standard quote - "Tumne duniya nai dekhi, tum abhi naadan ho". Now my question is, "Kya aapne unhe duniya dekhne di hai??" They have always been controlled (over protected) by their parents. And honestly I do respect it and totally understand their concern. They fear that if their kids come in contact with a wrong person, their lives would be affected, and that they trust THEM but not the WORLD. At this point I feel that it's their responsibility to train their kid in such a way that parents must be able to trust the people their child trusts. They can't be present everywhere with ...

No need to hold threads We're already teared apart No need to speak much Our words lost their value We commited On the basis of love But no word was spoken Of respect, of loyalty Time has come To choose the latter For love needs you But I don't, I don't. So let's part our ways There's no reason to stay Done with random fights Now I'm standing At the threshold Of both your door and heart And your eyes don't seem To shed tears for me Your feet don't wanna Turn towards me It's just the air Which fills the void In the space Between our bodies So let's part our ways There's no reason to stay

Can't you see it? My heart is freezing Can't you heal it? My soul is burning I need you, I want you Right now, right here It's an emergency.. Do you remember The good times we had When burned spaghetti Didn't taste bad Then why did you Leave me breathless And snatched my heart Where did I go wrong? I wanna ask the destiny To do me a favour To bring you back to me Forever, forever You've always known How I smell, how I taste And that without you I would be damned Can't you see it? My heart is freezing Can't you heal it? My soul's burning I need you, I want you Right now, right here It's an emergency.. 

I dwell in a place, the only one Where pictures get reflected I can see them all painted, With me being colourless. But when these paints get black I get triggered from those eyes They try to preserve me, Not willing to expose me. But I roll down, Laving their dry skin Through this path I can feel the unrest underneath it. I'm the only water Which can't douse this raging fire Yet,  I like to get burnt, And feel the scorching pain Eventually, I drop down And forget about its existence And feel the same. Nothing. 

I've ran too much Forgot the way back home I'm at the edge of the world Wounded, about to fall Couldn't see my blood stains Calling me back Now they're dry enough Not capable of being my part Now I feel heavy With stones in my body Pushing me to jump To feel light Now I realize, This land doesn't have an end I'll have to bear the weight Of all my mistakes Even if I die I'd still see myself at the edge of the world Because blood dies, stones don't.
