Woke up from the noisy alarm, the birds chirping & squirrels making that sound,  the sunlight waiting at the window, waiting for me, for me to open it and let her in,  so it can make my room less dim;  so much light, yet everything feels so mild,  my body doing the daily chores,  while sitting alone is demanded by my soul. Another day has passed, staring at the light emitting box,  for that's the only way with you I can talk, fixating my eyes upon the 'sacred' text in my textbooks, sowing the seed, not knowing for what fruit. Another day has passed, strumming my guitar, humming our favourite hymn, gazing upon the stars, looking at your painting; savouring your love,  for that's more than enough. Another day has passed,  knowing you're beside me, still waiting for you to come, wanting to end this phase, so we can finally see each other's face... ~ Guni  Image source - Google

Whenever you feel like giving up,  look around you, you live in a world full of things which won't have existed if someone gave up. Take a look at the website you are on right now, what if the programmer who was programming this gave up after some unsuccessful tries? Take a look at your study table, what if the carpenter who made it gave up while he was learning how to make things? Or what if the person who designed it gave up when he was unable to have ideas for designing? Take a look at your phone, what if the company's founder decided to give up when his ideas were considered vague?  Take a look at your garden, what if the gardener had given up gardening when he was unable to make some flowers bloom? Take a look at the nest on a tree, what if the bird had given up when it's nest was attacked by other animals? Take a look at the ant who just got into the ant colony, what if it gave up when it was climbing the wall again & again and falling down each time? Take a look

There was a time,  When homes were not limited to their boundaries,  and rivers were treated like Goddesses, be it Narmada, or Godavari.  When children were considered truthful & pure,  and mother's love was the ultimate cure. When there was greenery more than roads, and nature was treated as abode. When at night the world used to rest, and the young adults weren't depressed. When women used to walk around careless, and nothing was ever such a mess. When people respected each other, and there was no bias on caste or colour. When people followed their passion, and following traditions was not fashion. When art was considered sacred, and there was never so much hatred. When there were more humans than people, and summers were filled with the singing beetles. There was a time, When everything was peaceful,  Yes it once existed, now in our memories, we cherish. Just for a day, I want that time back, so that the memories do not perish... ~ Guni
