Its been a while since i could hear my own voice again....

Well to be precise i have quit my job. Salsa is the new reason to smile and keeps me going. Some new hiccups and lots of delusional stuff but then i guess the timing couldn't be better to start all over gain and re-invent what the world calls as "Chirag".

To begin with my silence over all that's happening and my reaction to it as well here is a small passing by thought....


Its been a while since i felt this alone
Alone though with so much happening around
Life of all sorts- sweet & nice, irritating yet distracting
Keeping me engrossed every single day & night

Life that is like two worlds for me
Balanced finely along one another
One incomplete, unfulfilled without the other
One filling the stomach, the other the heart

It always happens that one world goes down
The other somehow trying to stabilize
Pulling both up isnt easy and i sometimes fumble
Get bruised, abandoned, left alone to cry, wake up alone

There is so much more to do and never enough to say
Every moment that passes by i wonder why
I end up changing my house or the paint on my walls
Why i change my pair of shades every time i need to look up????

I wish i can tell someone that i live, i like to laugh
That i too fall down and that i don't need anyone's support
But once i am up i need you not to stare me in the face
Rather look pleased at my return and hug me tight....


Wish you didn't run away at the first sight of my fall. Its just a matter of time i stood up and never looked better. Only if you had waited....

If life were that easy...we would not have such good writing...

Hmmm..Its always too obvious that we start from fallen-state and end up at the "stood once again " state. Life looks lovely that way...but it never works out that way cuz our deeds are in our control but not of those from whom we expect things like " a lovely hug"..

well well...what am i writing?

Good work chirag... i was touched with it..Almost everyone can relate themselves with this poem...:)

Life is an ongoing battle! I can so very well relate to those lines you so thoughtfully penned!

Many congratulations on the knocking off the job part! I'm sure life is much better and worthy doing what one loves!

'Life that is like two worlds for me...... One filling the stomach, the other the heart'
-you just said it! its like the realisation many of us had, who thought of pursuing our heart's calling and to make a living out of it, only to realise that sometimes its just better not to expect too much out of it.. let it remain a hobby or something we pursue and do something mainstream to earn our bread'n butter.

and in the longer run, the two worlds kind of re-inforce each other, which helps stabilise our lives in ways we never would've thought of!

beautiful post! *hugs*

Hmm...i've always believed you should follow your dreams, however hard the path may be. It takes a lot to do that. And you have done it :)

Anywez...The rise happens only after a good, hard fall :)
