Serenity

Picture courtsey: Ashwin Soni
Tired... After a long journey
When the sun was about to fade
She met the earth who could hold her for a while
She was breathing of peace
Felt the mist on her face
The River... then showed me her grace

and there i was standing...
witnessing the 'Serenity'

Appreciate!



Even after confronting so many types of defeats, he hoped that tomorrow will be his day. Holding all emotions in his pocket he walked all the paths where life took him. All these years one thing he was sure of.. that he's got something.. something which will lead him to that place where he belongs. He tried so many things in the hope that this will take him to the ultimate destination.. but he fell back.

The wait was so long.. still he was standing tall. Each day in his life was a challenge.. but the challenge was close to himself. He never showed it to anyone.. He was smiling.. he was caring. he loved his wife and pampered his children. He did everything he could do for his family.
For him, life was an obstacle race and he dreamed of winning it once.. He kept on going.. even the darkest night couldn't make him lose his way. He is no one special... he is just an ordinary man hoping to live a happy life.
I see him today.. seems that finally he found his way. He is content.. ambitious.. learning.. happy.. and most of all he was respecting what he was doing. He is expecting more from himself rather than from someone else. Because he knows that he has got something after a very long time... so he appreciates it.

May be this is a temporary phase of his life.. but it made me think.. keeping myself aside.
We are very busy dealing with our own situations.. puzzled and stuck in the web of happenings around us. Sometimes the person sitting next to you can tell the simplest thing in a simple way which we are often oblivious of!
