Never give up!

I am very happy, today. I will be going for a star gazing event this saturday, something that I've been meaning to do ever since I was in school. I am also excited about reading a big, fat book on Planets, Stars and Galaxies. I feel like a small kid. Maybe I am, at heart.

Also, got hold of some poems in an old folder and I decided to post them here. These were written in 

2010-11, which was a low phase in my life. I had just graduated from Architecture school, and the internship wasn't coming through. I was an unhappy lot during that period, and my words came out in shades of negative mediocrity. I can't believe how unhappy I was that I could ever use words such as 'blades' or 'hope fades', glad now that I made it through all of that. Of course, like it happens with everyone else, I moved on from all the depression and stressed times in my life and won't be going back to that low phase again anymore, ever. I strongly believe now that we must search for our own happiness. I hope people who are battling with failure don't give up, and certainly don't let 'fate' take on their life's reins. Believe in yourself, just hang in there for a moment more, nothing is permanent and never let life's struggles get you down. You are a strong person, underneath. 

These poems though, will always be a gentle reminder of being careful with words and thoughts. Posting one of them here. I wouldn't want to inflict sadness, hence one is quite enough.

I live apart in a world of chaos,

Uncertainty filling my space.

Like the wind blows over a helpless candle,

Straining the darkness with its raucous cuddle.

What words chase and the eyes rest,

Lies my heart with a gush of unrest.

Dreams falter and the hope fades,

One last time I chose the blades.

If being the loner is no longer said,

Why does it hurt for all the pain?

I need to move on, create a veil

Only that one does not revel.
