I wish..

-


I wish, i could be a kid again,
put all my worries down the drain,
Living life kid style,
No reason to walk the extra mile!!


Was waking up early the only pain,
What have we achieved growing up sane?
Lets exchange frowns for teacher's cane,
It was a blissful boon, not bane!

Messy frocks to branded shoes
Now, i would the latter choose,
Then, a new compass  brought a smile
Smile, we look for in expensive lifestyles!

When "now" weighs down,
"Then" rescues like a clown,
When present seems insane,
I wish i could be a kid again!

    Everyone feels to be a kid again. But it stay just that thought at the end of the Day.

    i have this theory...human beings never grow up...their brains are programmed to believe that they should behave a particular way at a particular age....and so the start imitating that...there a kid hidden within us always...all one needs to do is find it :)

    nice post

    Thats a very nice theory SUB.I totally agree with you.We never really grow up, we only learn to act in public!

    Venkateswaran Ramachandran : Read Sub's comment, i kind of agree with him.It stays a thought cause we don't seek the kid inside us enough!

    Society doesn't wants us to be kids.
    Parents ask us to grow up, gf/bf bug us asking to be more "mature".. Entertainment industry has some kind of propaganda going on wanting everyone to be adults.

    Interestingly enough, the scientists crowd stay as kid-like as they can. Coz in Science the saying goes, Think like a kid, act on it like an adult.

    In a child it is the heart which enables actions with innocence. A nice poem.

    The irony in life is that we want to grow up as fast as we can when we were kids and want to become kids again when we are adults...but its always so nice to remember the old times in our hectic adult life....very well written...anurag

    Very nice. Like the comparison and love that you brought out instances from both stages of life. Here is a poem on similar lines (http://life-in-a-jiffy.blogspot.com/2011/04/lifes-prelude.html)

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------...

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
