Mantra of Success

When do we fail?

Life has been called a unique combination of success and defeat. In fact, both complement each other. If a person has not tasted defeat, he will not be able to enjoy his success. Another aspect is that the bricks of a person’s success are laid on the foundations of the other person’s defeat.

Sarcasm: Can you take that bit?

In conversation with anyone, we often come across situations in which we can't ignore the person whose naive comments are ceaselessly ruffling us or the brain finds itself confounded by an impetuous comment. A situation of that sort can be averted by using a pretty handy tool, although the caution is that the aftermath of an inappropriate usage or timing of that tool could prove to be bleak for the individual.

The Writer's Words

The past stood witness to my present uncertainty while future was evasive. And it is this uncertainty of the present and the evasiveness of times to come that gives birth to poetry and poetic words. The standstill time stays put, the  moment doesn't pass, yet the day is gone. In gathering these moments the life is gone. What gives us a reason to wrap up these bits into one whole is our dreams, the reason to live. Dreams, even while staying silent, speak volumes. Give words to your dreams and they come alive!

Turning the pages of life I find some words half-baked, some half-erased, others half-written. I choose to tell those tales now. 

I too have grumbled at bitter loss, have experienced the pain of being a lost winner, my eyes have  had tear behind laughter and lips trying to hide pangs of pain. Yet I always believe one should hold on and keep trying to string the fallen beads. In the end, the story of what has been will connect to what will be, though the moorings of the past will never be snapped!
