221. Lag jaa gale

 

Usse mili thi bus mai, Dil bas Mai naa Raha

Yeah bas ek yu daur tha, Vo bore ho Gaya

Shayad phir is janam mai mulakat ho na ho 

Dost mujhse lad padi

Gusse mai muh sadi

Shayad aas pass hai 

Uska aasra aur aas

Shayad phir is janam mai , mulakat ho na ho 

Phir se issi bus mai ,Baithi vo Jake pass 

Ab na laga yeah saathi ,na laga Kuch khaas 

Shayad phir is janam mai , mulakat ho na ho 

Kuch rishte banter hai ,banaaate natural hai 

Jisko ek tarfa efforts lage 

Uska kya hi future hai 

Lag jaa gale, ae ae

Yours and mine final call

 

Got it 🌸 I’ll keep it much simpler, like you’re just talking to the exam you missed — heartfelt, but in your natural flow:

--Final Call

*Final call*

Oh Exam, my Final Call,

I missed your day, I missed it all.

I trusted my calendar, didn’t check twice,

That small mistake cost me a heavy price.

They said your paper was easy that day,

I sat with guilt that wouldn’t go away.

I had studied well, I had given my best,

But being marked absent shook me to rest.

That morning I thought was a holiday,

I revised my notes and let time slip away.

Then the “what ifs” kept troubling my mind,

No peace in sleep, no hunger to find.

I asked myself—how could I fall?

Why didn’t I hear your Final Call?

But time moved on, I cleared you next,

The pain faded, though I felt perplexed.

What once felt like the worst of all,

Now seems smaller, just one missed call.

Life taught me lessons, painful and tough,

To double-check always is never enough.

And when I lost my parents, my biggest pain,

I knew no exam loss could weigh the same.

So, Exam—you were not my end after all,

Just a reminder before life’s Final Call.

287. Same as 245. Joys of life anthology

Swami Vivekananda’s words, profound and true,

“We see outside only what lives within us" so too

I am someone who finds joy in little things

Even an act of kindness in the form of a simple smile gives me wings

A routine when followed with joy 

Letting go of the things that could annoy

That perfect winged eyeliner and hairdo is a lovely feel

The entire day, it ensures confidence and zeal

Watching TV with a loved one after a heavy day

Writing a poem while commuting from office on the way

Documenting my poetry certificates with poems on my blog appeals

Learning and posting new ways of doing reels

Sharing my tidbits of learnings with someone in need

Seeing happiness on the faces of furry babies when I feed

Being grateful for these beautiful experiences God has been giving

Letting go of any hurt, to forget and forgive

Daily catch-up with my parents who are in heaven

A good, tight sleep and waking up before seven

Doing my duty with love and grace

Having faith in the Almighty while facing life’s challenging phase

These little moments make life easier, with moods uplifted

Blessed and grateful for these little joys I am gifted!!!

310.Experience about my participation and certificate I received

 

Experience about my participation and certificate I received 

One particular participation which is close to my heart is the recent one 

Where I spoke about journalling in blog my daily episodes in poem 

As the prompts and topics give me motivation to express

And gives me to clutter free thoughts and to organise mind mess 

Reviews and certificate are like cherry on the cake 

It motivates me to express from heart from heart and not merely for participation sake

At present someone close observed my low self esteem 

Body language filled with self doubt extreme 

I was literally blabbering around without clarity of thought 

Work pressure was such that I was losing me ,help I sought 

Speaking to myself in being better version of me 

To leave the baggage behind and set myself free

Tomorrow won't be the same as today 

So writing down captures the present feelings this day 

And the writing platform helps me to have that me time 

To not just vent out , but also get feedback and feel fine 

I am grateful for the opportunity to realise starting afresh is not too late 

And for the appreciation,reward ,feedback with beautiful certificate!!!

309. The longing inside a glance

 

The longing inside a glance*

I don't want to show my emotional side 

But any memory of my parents makes me teary eyed 

I wanted the time to seize on the final goodbye 

Death is the only truth but often to ourselves we lie 

The last glance felt as if I long for more 

The realisation broke my heart that no hugs anymore 

I was the princess of my home 

Now the four walls also felt so alone 

Google photos flash so many memories 

And I connect to joyful stories 

They waited for my call and me too longed to speak 

Being around them was my happiest self at peak 

The last glance of mom was calm just like a little baby in sleep 

Her beautiful eyes were closed but hugs I gave her heartfelt and deep 

My dad always was childlike and sweet 

He loved when I got him lot of goodies to eat 

The last time I met him he was happy to know I was there 

I didn't want to leave him but soon he left and I found him nowhere

I long for the glance once more 

I love them from my hearts core 

The longing inside a glance when I see them in photo frame 

All I need is a hug and mom's hand food same to same 

I miss their voice messages and video calls and endless talks over phone 

The happiness they felt when I would be coming home 

My pets too who would surround me with all kisses and playfulness

The home is filled now with emptiness

As I am attached to all things too as it has memory

The longiness to not part way but giving up with a soft sorry 

I wish that my parents come to take me along with them finally when it's time 

I long for their one final glance with heartfelt smile !!!

308. The truth behind the gentle lies

 

The truth behind gentle lies 

My peer has habit of hugging me each time , as she feels a cozy hug rejuvenate her from lethargy 

In name of friendship ,I was treated as her agony aunt and I felt a lot of drain in energy 

Each day she would call me just to express what her boyfriends new milestone

It reached a stage I was afraid to even open my phone 

She used to know the answer and yet kept asking why he did this way and the breakup it led 

After a point I understood that she wanted someone who would agree to whatever she said 

Not judging her but may be I am not the right person to involve in such shallow talk 

I observed my wavelength was different than her and it started impacting my work 

I confronted her and mentioned that I like a professional relation than gossiping over a coffee

But even after expressing truth ,this still persisted and I didn't feel free

She continued to watsapp me and I as a favour kept checking on me with days growing 

At times I may not feel great but I don't like someone messaging me whole time and asking how I am doing 

My way of venting out and expressing is by way of writing poetry 

Next day I told her a gentle lie that my watsapp isn't working if she try

If I was a therapist, I would have earned in millions over the hours I spent behind 

Same time I would have done something worthy and filled knowledge in my silly mind 

She initially continued pinging in instagram but I check that less

This way it reduced and I came out of this mess 

Now when I meet her,I am cordial but I maintain this distance 

So being a bit strict is fine than entertaining something that can deplete my peace 

I see she is hanging out with other peer

I am happy that she got someone like her 

I may not have many friends but I don't desire to have the wrong one 

I know I told a gentle lie but it was for productivity prioritize me and to harm 

none !!!

307. Soft doesn't mean weak ,it means controlled*

 *Soft doesn't mean weak ,it means controlled*

Let me tell you a story of snake which was too soft 

And people weren't afraid and used to hurt it at each cost 

Then it started to scare others just so that people wouldn't abuse 

Then on people were alert and didn't consider it loose 

Moral is that people often tend to not value ones humbleness 

And treat it as a weakness 

How many of us believe that our name carries a part of our personality?

My name would mean lovely and a variation on having a softness in overall quality 

Softness can be sub divided into 3 categories 

First is a variation on being fragile and absorbing everything within

Second is modifying softness Which means being soft until he or she pins

The problem with second category is that if in anger the tone changes 

Then need to write apology which can run into pages 

Third category is having a soft tone but mixed with professionalism and diplomacy

This is something I aspire to be and my lifelong fantasy

Repercussions of being strong in words can be heavy

But too soft is also not good actually

Being diplomatic and professional is the best way forward 

Why should I carry baggage of hurt if I feel one 

I should give it back same day as it come

But way of expressing is a million dollar skill 

It can worsen things or better things with damage nil!!!
