Album of Love

Daily Post: I Want To Know What is Love

We each have many types of love relationships — parents, children, spouses, friends. And they’re not always with people; you may love an animal, or a place. Is there a single idea or definition that runs through all the varieties of “love”?

Love album

Love is no idea to be defined

Love is a flow of emotions refined

Love knows no condition

Love is a  wonderful expedition

Love is not false or true

Love is a string between souls two

Love is not an illusion

Love is a chemical fusion

Love without expectation

Love is boundless adaptation

Love needs no sacrifice

Love craves to satisfy

Love is an ultimate desire

Love will make you fly higher and higher.

Parents, children, spouse or friends

Just keep loving till the end

Person, place animal or thing

Love one and love all but never cling

An unmatched beauty so sublime

Love creates a music as melodious as the chime.

Let’s Play

IMG_5968

A Word A Week Photo Challenge: Play

How i wish i could play and play,

And never have to go away;

Here and there, jump all my way,

With my toys i wish to stay.

Math, Science, History and Geography,

Forgive me, my heart loves Photography;

Mom and Dad, I wish to explore, 

Oh! Please let me lose sight of the shore.

Round and round, i wish to fly,

Like a bird in the sky;

Earth is such a beautiful place,

Please set me free, I love to have my space.

I learned to walk holding your hand,

Now I’m grown up, please be my friend;

Play with me, I’d love to say,

I’ll make you feel young day by day.

Who is Great?

What’s the use of having a mind if it can’t change? 

Young or old, big or small, there’s nothing strange!

Open the arms, breathe deep, feel the air come in,

Our destiny is in our hand, let’s play it!

To hold on or to give up, just don’t bother;

We’re not alone, we all move together!

Sunrise or sunset, appreciate the beauty,

Don’t compare, it’s the Sun’s duty! 

Let’s do our duty come what may;

Thank the Lord, it’s another new day!

Proud of Me

In response to The Daily Post: Proud

IMG_0150

I may be small, but I stand tall,

Without me, the beauty would fall;

This is how I’m made,

No matter if others hate;

I’m here for a reason,

Earth is my home, not a prison;

 I can stand against the wind and the rain,

Even if I fall, I can rise again;

I’m food for the honey bee;

No regrets, I’m proud of me.

Yes! Thanks!

The Daily Post: No,Thanks? Is there a place in the world you never want to visit? Where, and why not?

IMG_1870

Why talk about what we don’t wish to do?

Let’s talk about what we wish to do,

And where we wish to go!

Let us allow good to flourish,

Think positive and cherish;

Let us dream good and feel good.

Everything happens for a reason,

Let us embrace every season;

Heaven or Hell is part of literature,

It’s alright to not know all answers,

Life is a gift of countless mixture.

Breaking the Law

In response to The Daily Post: Breaking the Law. This photograph was taken in 2009, when our son was three years old. He was experimenting with talcum powder, which for him was snow! 🙂

IMG_1179

Had there been no rule or law,

We’d have looked at this world with awe;

There’s so much to learn and grow,

We wish to go steady and slow.

Many a times we broke the law;

Never worried who saw;

It’s our life, we’ve to live,

We make mistakes, God forgive.

We’re happy, never regret,

What we did, we wished to get;

Our motto: Break any law in a lifespan,

But never forget  to be human.

Depth of Life

Mountain n river- Bageshwar

 Dark is the absence of light,

Hate is the absence of love,

Death is the absence of life.

Rules and laws are made by us,

Situations change but rules never change!

Is it fair enough?

We punish the wrong and reward the right,

With the hope that wrong never prevail;

How far is this right?

If the world has changed,

Why do we still talk of change!

If we all are sinners, then who are we to judge?

We are not prisoners;

We do not need rules to live,

Then why can’t we take a risk,

And think positive!

Arrest hatred, arrest the furious mind,

Punish jealousy and greed,

Leave the negative behind.

Right or wrong, good or bad,

Are we not aware?

Feel the depth of life, far and wide;

Let peace prevail worldwide.

The Irony

Think Simple

This post is in response to Weekly Writing Challenge: Ice, Water, Steam.

The Challenge: For this week’s writing challenge, take on the theme of H2O. Just like water is still water, whether it’s solid, liquid, or gaseous, you are still yourself, whether you’re in the middle of a career change or identity shift. Hey, even dying your hair pink is just a different variation of you.

Whether we are rich or poor, we are what we think. Simple living is not what matters, simple thinking does.

“Simple living and high thinking” is a common adage we have been living with, right from our childhood. It is simple to understand, isn’t it? Live a simple life with the basic needs, have high aims in life and be happy.

What we perceived then and what we perceive now transmit vibes that are poles apart.

The irony: Everything is in the mind. The higher we think, the higher our hopes and expectations, and higher soars our greed. This ultimately lands one into a pit full of competition, jealousy and revenge. Over the years, experience explained, what actually matters is ‘think simple’.

So…

Simplicity is in the mind, not lifestyle,

Generosity is a quality divine;

Live your dreams, you have a lifetime;

Be human, spread the sunshine.

Good or bad is in the heart,

Show gratitude for what you’re bestowed;

How you live is a work of art;

Clean the soul for a heavenly abode.

Rich or poor, is in the mind,

If you are alive, you’ve to strive;

Think simple and just be kind,

If you’ve money, help others to survive.

Is it convincing?

It’s our dreams we try to connect!

Simple living and high thinking,

Does it make a man perfect?

Don’t Impress! Express!

Below are some of the photographs we thought of sharing with our fellow bloggers. Check what they have to express!

This is a challenge before us, to show what “express yourself” mean to us. This post is in response to The Daily Post Photo Challenge: Express Yourself.

We love to capture different moments in our life and find it exciting to express our thoughts through these random clicks. We made an attempt to express our journey of life through these photographs. So, fasten your seat belts and enjoy this journey through our head and heart ! 🙂

1. Hunt for truth:

The oar as seen immersed in water has something to say!

Clicked while we enjoyed boating in Nainital, Uttarakhand, India

Do not believe what you hear, do not believe what you see,

A smile on your face may not mean you’re free;

The actions we take are the reactions we face,

Do not judge, the truth lies beneath;

This is what we believe.

2. Surprises matter

IMG_1254

Life is full of surprises, good or bad;

Never stop learning, happy or sad.

3. Solve problems

When faced with problems, do not complain;

Look for alternative solutions, take a concrete decision.

4. Plan with open mind

IMG_0977
Lonar Crater, Maharashtra, India

Dream and plan with an open mind,

Follow the step you’ve designed;

If plans begin to fail, do not sigh;

The open mind will help you to fly! 

5. Mould to fit

IMG_0989

Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery;

Mould to fit today, shape your destiny.

6. Adventure calling

Up and down, far or near;

Live your dreams, don’t you fear.

7. Free- flowing

IMG_0984

Life is not a race, reflect and see,

Be good, humanity is the key;

Among the masses you may be known,

But it takes everything to stand alone.

8. Emotional

IMG_1698

One, two, three, four, five;

Ready to taste the flavors of life.

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten;

Here and there we fall, but rise again.
