Humane Expectations

It is famously said by someone whom I know very well that -

"Don't expect anything from life as it's full of uncanny stories toggling up and down with disheartening consequences that will only make u all the more morose "

Well let me put this straight onto you. Through hope, belief, trust, faith we tend to grow the seeds of our expectations and so we must sow what we reap as ; "practice what you preach" is somewhere correct for all the practical folks out there. If we have the aforementioned 'hope' within our mind and body, automatically we tend to expect. I believe expectations only come from the people you love the most. With the love and concern that you shower towards your loved ones you might as well expect the same in return as Newton's third law of motion goes by our very instincts. .

You may say sacrifice and forgiveness helps us to expect nothing in return. But we are humane my dear friend! Physically made of flesh and blood and mentally with a hell lot of emotions that makes us alive. The divinity inside us encourages to be patient. Selflessness is a noble act and is agreeable but the impact of humanity is also incomplete without expectations. An expectation in itself is a reward to humanity.

Sense of Belongingness

Sense of Belongingness within ourselves is quite natural in this elixir of life; as we tend to cling on to our chosen one's. That ray of hope drives us to move ahead in life. The very fact that we all are ultimately 'self 'as we come alone and depart alone makes us harder to think as we are living in this temporal illusory world that projects our very situational phases . It's like a humane maze...Interdependence within dependence . Paradoxically speaking, we tend to be independent whereas in actuality we can never be fully independent in this world as God's creation was humans ,not robots. We have to cling on . We have to belong to someone in order to be independent. In this somewhat daily chaotic course of events of our life we are somehow dependent on others for some or the other reason. We 'belonged' in the past, we 'belong' in the present and will leave a trace of 'belongingness' in the future. However, it's true that our ...

Nostalgia

I miss you every single day I miss you every single moment Without you my life's incomplete. The breaking dawn welcomes a new day Sunshine in the morning gives an eternal bliss. The cold breeze, the sweet chirping of birds somehow pleases my inner soul. Far away I see the clock tower, the old mystic abbeys It is reminiscent of my good old happy-go-lucky school days Today after twenty long years, I pass through the streets of Little Valley High School, I still hear the alarm bell, The hymns, chants, incantation and prayers in Church hall; The cacophony of the students makes me feel nostalgic... I am amazed to see the adjacent alley which was once ours' hidden secret rendezvous Memory never fades never transforms It remains afresh and new in our mind's gallery. Arunita Lahiry

An October Morning

Thought of publishing my poem, which got me into first position in the writing challenge that was held in the year 2021, by The Unheard Stories Writing Community An October Morning Summer is gone Fall is here. Awakened by Nature's spell , The leafy cacophony in the gloomy woods; This beautiful blue-skied October morning, I witnessed a brilliant serenity.... The welcoming of cold winters, Oh! How Nature in itself is a magnificent bliss; I sit taciturn... The calming onset of seasons, The fallen leaves making the trees almost bare and decayed Yet the trees stand tall and give warmth of life in this leafy bedlam. Nature calls upon us ; Let bygones be bygones Let us shed all anxieties and fears, Let us enjoy the journey of life. As Nature has always been a giver, Nature has always been a giver. Betwixt the daily musings and work, The sweet chirping of birds adjoining the...
