In a sunkissed world, I live

In a sunkissed world, I live;

In nature is abundant joy,
Then why I am in misery,
Mired in what earthly ploy;

In a sunkissed world, I live;

The sky is ever so blue,
The Sun shines light years away,
Still, its warmth never fails you;
A bird revels in its flight,
It circles around,
Swings in the air,
As if in a merry-go-round;
The trees are so green,
Budding flowers shower love,
On butterflies which teem;
The song of a bird,
The dance of a humming bee,
It’s all too priceless,
And yet comes for free;

In a sunkissed world, I live;

In nature is abundant joy,
Then why I am in misery,
Mired in what earthly ploy;

I wonder if I lived in a world;
Where I paid
for the air I breathed,
And competed
for the sunlight I bequeathed;
Where the nature’s silence
Was replaced by a cacophony,
And for few moments of quiet,
I needed fortunes of money;
where the air was always still,
And for a few drops of rain,
I had to pay huge bill;

I wonder if I lived in such world;
But Thanks to the heavens,
In a sunkissed world, I live;

In nature is abundant joy,
Then why I am in misery,
Mired in what earthly ploy;

In a sunkissed world, I live;

The sky is ever so blue,
There is romance,
In colorful petals and their hues;
It’s all too priceless,
And yet comes for free.


In a sunkissed world, I live.

Sometimes the only way out of pain is through the pain.

Sometimes the only way to let go is to embrace the pain and immerse in it before you are set free.

A word with myself!

Yesterday I just happened to observe a couple waiting in the queue right in front of me to buy the tickets. And all of a sudden, for no particular reason, I just got this thought.

“What exactly is marriage? To be with someone who wakes up by your side every day, who thinks he (or for that matter she too.. ) owns you to be able to enter you, but the moment that pact of right to each other’s body is violated,  will that relationship still survive and thrive?”

“Is not marriage just like one of the over-rated rituals?  Isn’t the need of marriage over hyped?”

That is to say,

I wonder if it is the marriage that is my need; or is it the confirmation and belonging to the widely accepted norms that is my need?

Is it the fear to stand out in the crowd for being different, fear of being looked down upon as some sort of pitiable object, and most of all fear of a life not validated by society at large?

Ofcourse, it is human nature to seek validation. The increasing no. of facebook posts, the plethora of tweets, the opinionated blogs; what is that one common thing that is at the bottom of it all? Isn’t it validation? There is hunger for validation. So, may be, one of us out here, doesn’t really has the need of a better-half to feel whole; maybe, one of us out here, does feel content and at peace just by being with ourselves; maybe, one of us out here, does not want to take up the responsibility of another life; maybe, one of us out here is capable of taking good care of one self; maybe, for one of us out here, the universal need of marriage is not universal afterall. But maybe, it’s just the fear of not getting validation that is holding that one of us person back, from sticking to his/her calling of life.


The only answer is perhaps that to live a life on one’s own terms and conditions, it requires a little more than courage. It requires fortitude, perseverance, and confidence on one’s own judgment. It requires the attitude of respecting others’ opinion and at the same time not getting affected too deeply by it.
