PROMISE?

Art by Rajnish Kiri
Remember that time you promised me something? And it was all on your terms; that you’d never leave, that you’d always stay. I never asked you to say those words but you did anyway, solemn and heartfelt as you were. I didn’t want to believe them at first - I shook my head vigorously in disbelief.
But eventually, you showed me through your kind actions how you weren't all just words. I believed your love was real but simultaneously, I refused to allow my mind swallow your promises up entirely.
Then the months flew fast and we let time wear and tear us apart. Fear devoured me and I could see worry crinkle in your eyes. We weren’t going anywhere, were we darling.
 
And as the months flew by, you stopped whispering those three words tenderly into my ear. Your kisses went cold and every time I held your hand, they didn’t melt into mine as they did before. It was as though you did all those loving gestures for my sake just so I wouldn’t feel sad.
 
I could feel your mind change like the browning of autumn leaves just before they fall from the branches. Oh, why would you go and make such a promise?

BROKEN HEARTS

I don't understand why destiny brings two souls together only to tear them apart. You give your everything, you do everything to please them and make them happy, yet they screw you pushing you away. We care for them and cry over them months even after it ends. We tell them everything, and then months passes by and everything changes. It goes from "I LOVE YOU" to "I MISS YOU". It's hard to accept that the person you give everything, shatter your soul and walks off. It is even harder knowing that you are not the one. You feel so empty, you miss a piece of you. The piece, you gave them. It is hard to forget them. The moment you think you are over them, and then the memories come rushing back, and tears knock your eyes. Sometimes we want them, but sometimes we also want to get over them, but at the end of the day neither happens. At the night we miss them, we read old conversations and smile like an idiot, and miss them more. People say, it is was meant t

DESTINY ( A two sided coin)

Image
HARD WORK IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS "Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." Our destiny is in our hands. We are the creator of our own destiny. Destiny ( भाग्य) is like a two sided coin ( good reward & failure). Just take an example, if you work hard for exam you will score good marks, if you don’t prepare and just leave it on your destiny you won't get anything except failure. It's in your hand to chose the right path to your destiny.

KARMA (The spiritual principal of cause)

Image
T he meaning of KARMA is in the intention, the intention behind action is what matters. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do. You have right to work, but never to the fruit of the work. You should never engage in action for the sake of the reward, nor you should long for inaction.
