Finally, 'People' unveiled!

Days when you start doubting yourself,
Not questioning only the eternal selfbelief.
But being puzzled whether-
 the way you laugh, acceptable to 'People' or not.
 the way you joke about things around you, cool to 'People' or not.
 the way you roam in pajamas and wear those 5 tops of same design and different colors you bought to avoid the pain of shopping, makes you fashionable to 'People' or not.
 the way you go running like a mad bull howling in the corridors of your school, sophisticated to 'People' or not.
 the way you believe in your capabilities and then may be after failing, makes you a loser for 'People' or not.
 the way you talk flawlessly about your future goals, makes you seem overconfident to 'People' or not.
 the way you get over your ex s soon makes you a whore to 'People' or not.
 the way you perceived a rude statement casually when you wanted to hit back hard on it, make you a sport to 'People' or not.

The Real question is whether to pay heed to these 'People' or not.
Who are the 'People'?
Do they really matter to you?
If they do, then WHY?
Who are they to you? Do you admire something in them?
If you do then HOW?
Are you jealous and you want to be like them? Then please cross the word INDIVIDUALITY from you dictionary, imbibing positive points is great but don't be a beta version of them.
Or
Are you simply in awe of their capabilities? Then please take
 inspiration from them and find out your plus points and work on them.

These 'People', if they mean shit to you then cross them out. Don't care. Your way of living life is your own way. We are all different individuals.
Do you know why?
No because we are cute little god's babies but biologically after looking in to the past of the living race, Evolution is and was an event because of variations. And humans are supposed to be varied.
Sex, one of the fantasied pleasures has created them. It was supposed to be interesting to see that humans are so different from each other but today the present yet absent element of life, the 'People' find it weird to see different or insane people(that's what the sane 'People' call them.)
To those who live life on their own 'crazy' yet unique terms, talk what their heart feels, behave the way they feel pleased to and  who are not like the 'People' around them,
Dude you are amazing, you keep the courage to behave the weird way, you are not ashamed of being your own self, you are not a part of the 'people', you are you. You are beautifully and creatively special and blessed. You do not make the mistake of judging others. You keep the power to accept all flaws with grace. You have a shine, a glow of your own and a mesmerizing personality which the 'People' don't find often.
And the 'People' who have zero guts to be themselves, to those 'People' who judge, you might as well let them have the previledge to be entitled to one of the five fingers of your hand with you not wanting to go to the loo, marry them, point at them and least likely acknowledge them for their wonderful deed.
You know what I mean tho because you have the strength to be yourself, you are an individual in true sense.

ETERNAL QUESTION OF TRUST

To trust or Not to trust, that is the question.

What was shared? Harmony or stinky lies?
Will there be salty tears or joyous smiles?
Was it clarion or a clouded rainspell?
Were the words dubious or clear gospels?

Were they incidents or stories fabricated?
What should I be? Straight or wrenched?
Spoken out with indecision or convenance?
Were things cryptic or obvious in existence?

To trust or Not to trust, that is the question.

Down the memory lane I slide,
Hearing those chuckles over the ride.
While one was full of moods and blabber,
The other would be balanced and sober.

Broken was my heart, shattered than ever,
When the decent stabbed me with an unfaithful dagger.
It yelped "Brutus! You too" and a thud,
There I lie in a painful red flood.

To trust or Not to trust, that is the question.

The spirit of trust yet haunting,
The thought of belief is still taunting.

To trust or Not to trust, that is the question.
And it still remains a question...

DAMN, A REBEL SHE WAS!

Damn, a rebel she was!
For her it was white or black then,
Never was it grey.
She tried, practiced, preached,
She ordered, screamed and howled.
Their ignorance made her heart ache.

How many years would this go on?
Brain now looked around for solutions,
Perhaps she always had resided in her fairyland.
One day she got a wild reality check,
Abused she walked away with her smudged vision.
The blacks and white s did not exist.

Everything was blank yet not black.
She realised all were swellheads,
Did nothing and dealed with it.
Perhaps the society was that way,
Things were always bitterly sweet.
She was now exposed to shades and tints.

Her look out turned grey.
She dealed with it the way all did,
She was praised everywhere.
And cursed deep in there,
Yet her spark did not vanish.
She still was different.

Because she was sad within.
She could not get over her thoughts,
She was now chained by herself.
This made her actively helpless,
She was pleasingly miserable.
For now she started dealing with it.

Melancholy now gained citizenship.
In the villa of her heart,
Which used to accommodate her beliefs.
Tear stained were her cheeks,
To see them shiver out in cold.
She now lived with a heavy heart.

Her struggle towards serenity was over.
People smiled, waved and were eager to see her,
It was peace and spring outside.
And a bloody brutal war inside,
But those eyes held no lies.
And reflected the pain of a rebel.

Damn, a rebel she was!
For her it was grey today,
Never was it white or black.
She tried, silenced, suppressed.
She cried, wept and howled.
Her ignorance now made her heart ache.

Damn, a rebel she was!
Blood scattered deep with in.
Damn, a rebel she was!

PS: This is a very late post. Sorry. These days I'm trying to sketch so the poem is a description for the sketch above.

CHANGE and CURVES

Tears rolled when I was cleaning the dust off my small writing Journal named 'Yakira Drafts'.

It's almost a month I haven't written anything. 

'26 Shades of Yakira' was supposed to end in the last week of May. 

Only 2 Articles have been published till date. Sigh.

"Why did this happen? What was the reason?"

That's what I was asked.

You can't always answer. I just smiled and replied, "Agony. Disturbances."

Well, was I planning to live with it forever?
Would I never move on? Did that crisis just leave me with all negative thoughts? No plans? No Motivation? NOT EVEN PLANS OF A REVENGE?

No. After almost a month I have decided that I CAN'T LIVE WITH THIS.
Every person needs to move on. Keeping the mental brawls aside.
We need a change and If the slope of the change is positive then it's called progress.
And and. Not to forget. If the slope falls under the x axis then it goes above it, then that is called rising up LIKE A BOSS.

If your life is all good. No fights. No excitements. Get up, Brush, Bath, Study/work, Back home, Eat, Sleep. And something which you might feel like is to die. It's okay. Bleh.
NO CHANGE = BORING. Most common.

If your life is not good. (PS: I didn't say BAD.) Your goody goody life turns upside down ,Arguments. No friends. Get up. Feeling like banging your head. Drowsy, Doesn't wants to go to school/work. Sleeps. cries. Eats. Feels useless. Drinks. Sleeps. And something which you might feel like is to die. It's NOT okay. something has seriously gone wrong and you have to realise that you have to enjoy. You need motivation. Read books. So
NEGATIVE CHANGE = OOOPS. Something is wrong.

If your life is fantastic. The rate of new and exciting things is rising. No negativity. You don't just get up. You get up and decide that this day will be the happiest day of your life. And you will sleep with the notion that the day next should be more happier. Well. this is the Ideal state. But hard to achieve. It's okay. Yeah.
POSITIVE CHANGE = NICE. Achievable provided you are Buddha.

If you have tasted all the above three flavours of Life. Then nothing like it. At some point of time there have been negative slopes, some time constant and some time positive and increasing slopes. WOW. Tomorrow if you come across something wrong you will know how to make it okay for you because you have tasted what was not okay. But does this wisdom come without the negative slope?
PARABOLIC CHANGE = BEST. That is what Life is all about. (Life. Lol. A 14 year old blabbers. But still. )

    

I was at a stable position few months ago, fairly above the x axis. Then I went through the OOOPS stage but I feel that after writing this up I am atleast on the line y=0. And I want my curve of line to go higher and higher and serve me new challenges.

Parabola is a tricky part of co-ordinate geometery. And so is understaanding the need of a change. May be a change in your hairstyle, clothing, car, friends, books, job, surroundings, mental peace. Absolutely a small change would make you more lively and happier.

So, Welcome Changes.

BAD WORLD or GOOD WORLD?

Me and my friends recently visited an orphanage.
More than the kids there, the dog fascinated me more. He followed me,wagged his tail and became my shadow.
This dog trusted me and went out on a walk with me.
From next time onwards I will also trust dogs who have always scared me.

In today's practical world believing on anybody is a mistake as people take advantage and are cunning and what not.  If trusting anyone at the first go is stupidity but if being trusted by anyone at the first go feels great then tell me why do we think that the WORLD IS TOO BAD?
I wouldn't like this topic to be debatable and hence would like to simplify my first statement into the
WORLD IS NOT SO BAD.

Our 10th standard English Literature Textbook has a poem on how the cunning people in our society easily deceive the gullible and talented people. The lesson delivers a caution note with ease but also encourages the students to doubt or not readily trust anyone.
There is a possibility of the students seeing this world in a negative sense.

Take off that coloured sheet which does not allow you to trust anyone easily.
Move out of the closed shell in which you are jailed for years which echoes that people outside this congested cell want to use you.
tear of the feeling that is preventing you to trust anyone at the first go. (PS: I am not saying of trusting anyone blindly.)

STOP DOUBTING PEOPLE
or else
BE READY TO BE DOUBTED AND FEEL THE PAIN.

In the journey of our mankind, if the journey has to a pleasant one then the carriages of the train would be the humankind and the path paved for this society to move on is TRUST. Only trust.


SO HOW IS THIS WORLD?
GOOD? BAD?

It is your world.
You will decide what is good and what is bad.
Deliberations and antithesis . Important tools.

AWAKENING and AIMS

"Reemaaa. It is monday and you still haven't started your assignment."

"I am just too sad for anything mom."

She was a bit disturbed. A small spat with her bestfriend.

 *beep*

Reema checked her messages on Whatsapp and saw this video of Nick Vujicic , who is an Australian motivational speaker who was born with no arms and legs.

Reema's mom didn't know what happened to Reema.
Reema jumped off and went into her study like been bitten by an insect. She instead, sat down peacefully, closed her eyes and thought on 

'Why the guy who had no arms and legs showed loads of optimism despite of his destiny being cruel to him?'

Her thoughts were fighting and her soul was experiencing guilt, visions and to find an aim for her life. She was guilty because she had not done what she was supposed to do, and today she is not happy in spite of doing what she wanted.

Any person needs an aim. Roaming pointlessly in this garden of life, One day might come that you are tired and that energy you had in your bagpack is eaten. You might sit with repentance as you don't know why have you come so far and how further would you go. 

We start working towards our Aim when we would decide one. But the consistent work comes with an awakening to the soul. Anything done with the acceptance of the soul gives it true meaning and fun.

Awakening?
Nice word ya. But how to recognize it?

Look out for inspirations, hurdles, problems, experiences. Always keep your eyes open, an omen might come your path and leave, without you noticing it. 

Don't wait for an awakening, think and make an event as an awakening. Accept experiences with an open mind.

BE READY FOR AN AWAKENING. IT IS COMING SOON.

Look out for one. Nothing happens without a reason and hence A meaningless event is always an awakening. Bring out the optimism from it.
