Just as a bee carries blossoms across miles,

I wish to be the reason behind someone’s smiles.

283. Resolution for 2026

Resolution for 2026

When I got this topic, I didn't know what to write

Resolutions are the manifestations bright

Certain things in life are better to be with self

I do have certain to-do lists, but within my heart’s shelf

A colleague asked, “What’s your resolution this year, my way?”

I instantly got stressed as I didn’t know what to say

So I said I have a list for this year

My answer wasn’t interesting, yet there was shine in the eyes of my peer

She said, “Good, you have so many things in your to-do list”

So I asked her about her plans, now relaxing my fist

She said living this life is her only resolution

That was a nice answer and a solution

Since I get perplexed if someone asks this question true

This answer seemed crisp and a good one too

I thought for a second, am I copying someone’s answer?

Let me reframe - maybe I am inspired by someone’s thoughts at par

Thus, to summarise my resolution for 2026:

To live the present moment and focus less on clicking pics!!!

282. Boat of thoughts

Review 

Incredible verses depiction the tribute to Tirupati Balaji   

May Jis divine blessings keep blessing you 🍫💞🙏🏼

*Boat of thoughts*

Visiting Tirupati temple atleast in my thoughts I couldn't resist 

It's believed when balaji calls one can visit

That call came to my brother this week 

My boat of thoughts expressed ,Balajis blessing I seek 

As I haven't experienced it on my own 

Just closed my eyes to describe from creative zone .

The wait for viewing God is too long 

In between there can be short cuts that can come along 

But one who achieves the patience to stand in queue and wait 

Teaches us solutions in life doesn't come served in plate 

One should have patience to make right choice 

Have faith in God and believe in inner voice 

After death one reaches heaven after clearing karmic pathways troublesome 

Same way after all obstacles finally the doorway to see Balaji comes 

One may have many things to ask

But remembering material things seems like task 

As one hardly would get few seconds to witness the lord 

Eyes fills with tears seeing this beautiful form of God 

Words can't describe the divinity of having His immense presence and healing 

Atleast once in this lifetime it's a blessing to experience this feeling 

Blessed are those who get to have the divine touch of the cloth which was used to clean the god 

And writing a wish there too one can't lose to afford 

The ladoo prasad is so special and auspicious 

Consuming it is a unexplainable feeling that's divinely delicious

Tirupati tirumala venkateshwara has a hypnotic smile 

He manifested himself in his divine form that Vedic scriptures file 

He is well built symmetric tall handsome deity with everything best 

With devi laxmi presence in his right chest 

His smile makes one forget the question we carry

With happy tears goes out all worry 

I hear about you my thoughts of boat passes each stream 

Seeing you in this lifetime seems like a dream 

But when I close my eyes I feel you and see you 

Please make me come to you one day , I will , I believe you .

281. Between the lines

 *Between the lines*

It's not easy to live my life and walk the phases I have been

Grass on the other side always seems green 

Expressing can be non-verbal norm

And here is where the art of reading between the lines form 

When I do the work round the clock 

And none to express yet 

expectations on me to be strong as rock 

I may be upset on few things or speak out of topic at length 

It's dismissed and equated to my mood swings of the month 

Without expressing, I expect at times to make me feel special with a hug or kiss

He might not read between the lines on this 

Then only my pen understands my feelings in-between the word

At times I feel if I am asking too much and I feel absurd 

I wish my mom was here so that I could just express

That I feel overwhelmed and feel a lot of stress 

She would read between the lines just by my silence ,words or face 

But I know life is a race 

Show must go on at each case 

Dealing and overcoming with the lifes challenge at each phase 

Learning growing reading between lines of life at my own pace !!!

279. The one who dwelt within

 *The one who dwelt within*

She had known him for 2 years now 

The affection she had was more than love 

She got attached and even shared many secret 

Over sharing can't be undone, that's the only regret 

The one who dwelt within her 

Manipulated her to suffer 

All she needed was a momentory escape 

She ignored the consciousness call to awake 

He tried all nasty tricks 

In name of being there for her to fix

He was not fixing her or healing

 

He was dwelling within to play games with her feelings 

Just to make her habituated to him and be fun 

And then cut off all of sudden

 

She chased him and he anticipated her next move 

His habit was dwelt deep within which she wanted to now remove 

But he would come back 

And her self control would take a back seat and lack 

She would fall for him again

And re-live the anxiety and pain

She reached the new low 

She was also aware of his next move 

Example - praising others in front of her 

Ignoring her to get her reaction buffer 

Just because he knew her actions well 

She anymore doesn't want him in her heart to dwell

Choosing such person would mean living in hell 

It was time to move on and this time she hears the warning bell 

He would do his tricks to seek her attention 

Enjoy the control by putting her to the tension 

After learning his intention 

She is aware that this attachment was a mere act of manipulation 

Breaking any habit or loop is the toughest part

But dealing with such instances is also an art 

Removing unnecessary content stored within is the real deal

2025 goes with a message to heal 

He may bump into her again 

Self awareness will help her regain 

He might play mind games or do certain activity as attraction to feed 

Remember, he was not the one who actually dwelt within ,it was just her emotional need 

2026 should be clear and clutter free 

Forgive self and be detached with new year entry 

The one who should always dwel within is the Lord

She cleared the junk her heart once stored

Chose self-growth,and found the self she had lost before !!!
