Z is for zealous

Passion.
To the extent of making it a part of your life. To make something so much a part of you  and your being, is being zealous.

I have never had that kind of passion, love, the push to make something that I believe in my life.

I wish though, I had that courage to pursue something that I believed in.

Actually, I needed to believe in something in order to have been zelous about..

I had actually thought that I would not be able to finish this challenge as well.. But something, something inspired me to move forth and complete this challenge.

I can't thank A to Z Challenge enough for rekindling my romance with my blog once again.

Y is for You

I walk alone,

In a path that is so unknown,

Falling, stumbling, and getting along,

Holding hands of my dear daddy all along,

And then came YOU,

Stumbling, falling, but yet walking,

I fell,

You gave me your hand,

I stood up, You smiled,

THE smile, that made my heart,

Flutter along…

You proposed an idea,

That maybe we should walk,

Together, You said,

We may be able to find a path,

You put your hand out,

I took it,

Shook it, and we became friends,

To walk the path;

Unknown, stumbling, but walking along;

Then the realization dawned;

Sheepish to begin with, I blurted it out loud,

I liked the feel of your hand in mine,

You in turn blushed and agreed;

A few more steps we took,

Treading yet, again a path unknown,

Still you held on,

You supported, pushed me,

To excel, to reach out, and to be more;

Daddy was still there,

His encouragement, always coupled,

With Your push, making an

Achievement more meaningful than ever;

Years passed;

We fought,

You Held, I tried to shake of Your hand,

You still held, till I relented,

Accepted that my stupidity is what led me astray,

Then you popped the question,

With a ring,

A cake, but mostly with Love,

That poured, pure and nothing more.

It was a YES!

A joyous occasion, made even more,

By YOU, yet again!

 

Today, we are still walking a path,

Unknown to say the least,

Yet, We hold on!

It is You, who makes me,

The whole I am;

Love riddled with questions,

Questions without answers,

In a journey of life, together,

Now & Forever,

I am exultant,

To say the least,

That my fellow traveller,

Lover, friend is none other,

But YOU..

In a path so unknown,

Walking, stumbling, but still Holding On.

 

 

X is for X-Mas

The greatest  thing about being in India is that we get holidays for all the festivals possible , whilst there are certain festivals that are celebrated all over the country with a fervour, there are some which are confined to a certain state or a region.

X Mas, is one of the festivals that celebrated with a lot of enthusiasm all over India. It is the Winter Holiday season, and while thanks to the MNC culture it means that offices have very little to no work, the schools have an off, and Santa Claus comes calling to each one of the houses irrespective of the caste culture creed or beliefs.

There is no difference in India, in between the celebrations of Diwali & X Mas.
We just wish, that the rest of the western world would also appreciate the beauty of celebrating a festival that is not your own, but is adopted because of the many many people of that culture becoming a part of that country. 

W is for Waste

What did you waste today?
A lot of time,
staring into the nothingness,
of dreaming a dream,
that is nothing more than,
a waste of dreams...

So what did you waste today?
A lot of money,
in buying the fancy shoes,
that I wont wear again,
But what do I do..
The shoes, are what bring me,
the hollow happiness.
But Happiness nevertheless.

So what did you waste today?
A little bit of food,
a lot of water, and a good amount of
electricity;
I have the means, I shall pay,
and I shall not conserve,
Tomorrow is unknown,
Live today is what I believe!

Just Imagine,
had our parents wasted it all,
the money, the time,
the resources,
would we have had any?
The time to waste,
the money to waste,
and the resources to plunder!

Let us think, twice!
Make time your friend,
dream the dream,
live the dream,
donate a smile,
adopt a pet..
Love a lot..
Because, when you love in excess,
you ain't wasting anything,
You are just gaining,
More love, more happiness,
More dreams!

V is for Virtues, Vanity & Vice

Let us try and define the terms,

Virtue, Vanity and Vice!

Lets start with the most sought one,

The virtue they say is what

shall make us and the almighty one..

I wonder though, when He put us on earth,

If He whispered about the acts as virtuous,

Or are these just made for us, by us,

To believe in the concept of a heaven and a hell!

 

Vanity, they say is nothing too nice,

But I feel, it was makes me feel,

Like a nice aged wine,

Perfect to the core,

It makes one believe,

In their ability to take on the world!

Am I ready to take world by storm?

Na, it’s too much of work,

I’d rather sit and stir a storm,

In my own little world!!

 

If you have a vice,

You are not very nice!

But it is the nasty things,

That add the spice,

To the otherwise,

Boring, mundane and the repetitive

Life!

 

My virtues, vanity & vices,

Are all that I have,

Those have made me,

Who I am!

Love me or hate me,

But never belittle me..

I abide by my virtues, my vanity and vices,

Because it is not you,

But I,

Who shall face the Almighty,

For all the deeds done by thy!

 

 

U is for Unique

Unique. Different.
We all have two eyes,  a nose, a pair of lips, teeth, ears, arms, legs.. Yet, each one of us looks different.
Each one of us is unique.
We all have different talents. We all have different weights , heights, different thoughts, and different goals.

Our uniqueness comes from the DNA that we posses. The combinations of them being so vast that all billion trillion of us are different from each other.

Yet, at the end of the day,  we are all bound by the same values of love, trust, humanity and happiness. Our goals maybe different but at the end of the day we all want a nice house, a great family, contentment and happiness.
And still, there are wars. There is racial differentiation.

Isn't it sad that instead of being amazed and instead of appreciating the differences of each other, we are rising hell to make us all into one sect of similar people.

T is for Time pass

Time Pass, a word coined by the Mumbai junta which means to pass your time by anything and everything other than what you are supposed to do.

In a city which is always running, time pass means to stay in office beyond the hours just chit chatting in the name of work.
Or sleeping in the train while on or back from work.

The short form is TP karna.
Usage.. 'Chal TP karte hain'

It took me a while to get used to this lingo. What is the lingo that you got used to when you were in a new city?
