Happiness

Gone are the days of fun and friends
Gone are the days of movies n laughter
Gone are the days of easy life and dreamy times

There came days of wait for love
Then came days of mails n calls
Heart was full of excitement and fulfillment
A vision of castle in the sky
There began the hallucination of a happy ever after life

Little did I know that it is all the launch of a new beginning
A start of the odds n rules of expectations
Changes began ...slow n steady

The veracity of existence began to haunt
Everything turned new, everything seemed different
This was not in my dreams
This was not in my trance
But, this was the journey I started
I had no right to whine, no way to turn back
Ought to face it, have got to face reality

Came the Roads of adjustments and compromise
Living for the loved one was the norm
Expectations grew in the back of the heart
But the fear of hurting stopped the act

Mails reduced, calls vanished
It was taken for granted that everything was alright
No time to discuss, no time to talk
All that I hear is “I am tired”

A new life took birth from within
A little one was growing in the womb
Out came the life’s angel
With it came another responsibility another role to play
Juggling between acts and dealing with sleepless nights
Reacting to new changes was not a piece of cake

Grueling the work life balance
And fulfilling the little one’s demands
Was the new priority at hand

I look around to find nothing is for ME
Working hard to survive, but wondering whom am I satisfying?
Forgot to dream, forgot to desire
Forgot that I am an individual too
Where do I go, what do I do
Confused with everything that life has brought in its way
Throw the expectations throw the yearning
Throw everything in its way

Be patient, be caring, and be loving
That is what the conscious seems to repeat
What for, what do I get for being all that?

Then came a voice of solitude
Then came the imagination of loneliness
After all, what is life without the loved ones?
It is so true that Love is LIFE
The thought that there is someone who loves u more than the world around
Makes every hardship so trivial

The smile of my love
The care from my love
The acceptance of my extremities by my love
Makes me think again, that life is indeed not bad

The mischief of my little one
The laughter of my baby,
Quench all the sadness away
Her first smile
Her first tooth
Her first step
Can anything else replace this sense of ecstasy?

Realizations walked in
Thinking all over again
After all, Happiness is in the mind,
Sow it and be sure to reap the fruits of joy

Life is Beautiful
Life is exhilarating
It is all in the eyes of the beholder

Find a way 2 be HAPPY!
