The Silent Hustle

I have spoken
I have sung
I have cried out loud
I have shouted
But it is in the silence that I think;
I read, listen and observe in the silence
It is the inaudible voice which I always hear;
The silence hustled and bustled in my head.
I grew up and learned in the silence
I never realized the magnitude;
Until it opened my eyes
And I understood and saw life

Saved to Live

It was a dreadful day

A kite on the loose

A kid on the loose

Off with the rope the kid went

And walked off the building

Seconds later, the child cries

Tongue slit in half, jaws dislocated

That could have been a fateful day

If God hadn't shown his mercy

God has his plans

But no one knows

He had saved and chosen us to live

And fulfill His purpose

We may not know what lies ahead of us

But we must fulfill his purpose

He lives for us and so must we

For your Mama

On 29th october 2011, Nigel's mom called me up. We talked about Him and how much we missed him. It was difficult not to shed any tear. I just couldn't control myself; hearing and seeing a mother's grief! Nigel's death has made me realize so many things and most importantly, he opened my eyes to see the depth of a mother's love

Because of you

I see a mother's  grief

Because of you

I see a mother's love

Because of you

I see hearts pouring out

You have shown us of the power and depth of love

But you didn't tell us you were leaving

Mama still cries for you

Mama longs to hear your voice

Mama wants to see your face again

Mama misses you a lot

All these years mama has been looking after you

Now all I ask from you is

"Please take care of mama too"

Highway to crap

(in collaboration with Tetei Hrahsel and Marema Zongte :D ...Juzz for fun...heheh)

Ridin' on a highway

Thought of gettin' fresh air

But all I could smell is bull shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

I opened up my window

Thought of gettin' fresh air

But all I could smell is cock shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

I stepped up on my balcony

Thought of gettin' fresh view

But all I could see is pig shit

I'm on a highway to crap

Highway to crap

Farewell

Mama said no
But I did so
A needle pierced through the thick skin
A few seconds of pain
A few weeks to heal
Such was the satisfaction
Mama didn't like it
But I did
Once wasn't enough
Neither was twice nor thrice
The ears now heavily decorated
Mama still didn't like it
But I did
Mama couldn't open my eyes
But someone else did
Mama was disappointed
My guardian angel told
Mama I'm sorry for not listening
I was blind but now I see
I've bid farewell to my studs

It's Time

So I kept on thinking
Thinking hard
Pinching my ears
But nobody knows
Should I or should I not?
No one can give me the answer
A choice that I should make
I was in a state of confusion
If I don't do it
I feel stuck
But if I do
I feel scared
But a decision had to be made
And so I did
My apprehension was just a notion
Then I realized the values ain't gone
But cherished even more

A peace of mind

Just to relieve a few things off my head, I took out my camera and went to the back field of my campus. A few migratory birds merrily played and fed on the lush green grass. And up above, they were swarming like bees, beautifully dancing in the air like a cloud formation. They all seem happy and glad. God has provided them a safe haven. Then I realized  Jesus' teaching about " Not to Worry about Tomorrow".

In Matthews 6: 25 -34(NIV) He said:
    ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?    ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³² For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
 
Most of the times it is difficult not to worry about Tomorrow. We often worry when we do not have enough faith. Having a full trust on God is what I (and many) have been lacking most of the times. Not to worry about tomorrow is quite a difficult task most of the times. But whenever I remember these lines, it does help me out a lot and gave a peace of mind.
