Constant Change

Do you really get what you want?
Or do you get what you deserve?

The faith in you to reach there
The finishing line, can you ever touch?
The race gets to you at some point 
And you start running in circles
to catch the feather hanging at an arm's distance

But don't you know, that chord is attached to you?
The faster you run yet you cannot reach it
and still run in circles!

Look around you,
all the moving wheels
and the circles
round and about 
around you....rotating and changing

Change is the only constant they say
but what is the change?

our body shapes
our habits
our environment
our feelings
our hormones
our movements
our ideas
our ideologies
our goals
our love
US?

You?

Yes you, the one reading this.....and also writing this
You have also changed

You are no more the same, from the one ten years back

you don't care about the world,
and don't wear makeup
to hide the scar of that fall 

you don't care about others' validation
and don't wear to impress
but to uplift your own mood

you don't care about the inflation
and yet spend carefully to save for tomorrow
and spend on the experiences for the soul

You are there
almost?

This is not the chapter of struggle
the struggle is always there,
but it is not the highlight here.

Its the next chapter 
where you are there
and you don't know it ......yet

where you get what you deserve
You get want you want.

pushing the finishing lines
running in the race

not cause everyone is running
you have called that upon yourself
and you are your coach 
making yourself work hard
to reach the finishing line 
which you keep pushing away

you get what you want 
you get what you deserve
cause you teach yourself
you make your own decisions
even when you allow others to decide for yourself

You change.
You Deserve Change.

Accept. Adapt. Achieve.

My City

Kolkata on postcard Kolkata Postcards photographs by Nemai Ghosh published by Starmark True to its title, the City of Joy as coined by the French author Dominique Lapierre, knows how to celebrate every victory, every win, even daily life. All my years in this city, it has taught me to LLC (Love, Live and Care).  There was a time when I wanted to leave. All my friends used to keep complaining about the faults of this city and they still do. Giving the idea that all this city did was to make you knock door for work and yet no opportunity came knocking on the door. I was influenced and I also wanted to leave.  On such an odd tiring day, after coming back home, my grandfather called me in his study. As I entered, the whole room was spread with the prints of photographs of his City taken by him. As I carefully positioned my stepping through the room, I fell in love with his City. So much known yet so unknown.  Later his idea got transformed into the 'Kolkata' Coffee Table Book...

Wake Up

Wake up. Its early in the morning. I can see the sky through the bedroom window, changing colours. So many colours blended together so well. The darkness of the night is slowly turning into the brightness of the day. The silence of the night I can hear no more, are the birds waking up? or are they chirping to wake us up? The earth smells fresh The air feels fresh so I should freshen up and get ready for the day. Sipping on my green tea trying to recollect what unfinished work I had yesterday, I suddenly recollected my last night's dream. Dream of being big. Dream of achieving all my wishes one day. Dream of getting real. Dream that always brings a smile to my face. Dreams shouldn't be shared,everyone says, they don't come true then! So I kept the dream to myself. The day went on in its own pace. Every turn I take hitting hard on the dream I dreamt. Pushing me back into the reality of life, getting their joys from hammering on my dream. The ...
