Two rupee coin does not change my wallets weight but does change a lot for the kid sweeping the train compartment to make enough for dinner that will be shared among at least five people. The speedy wind zooming through my hair and eyes watching the dreams higher than tall buildings running by faster than the train… I was feeling like "No one" until that little kid was standing there expecting and not demanding, at least something for cleaning the place. Suddenly I was the king … and I realized all it took to feel that big was a 2 rupee coin, value of life does not count on what you own but it counts on what you give away…I really dint know if I was the bigger person or the 8 year old boy for whom it’s the dirt others spill that makes life easier to live.
A fire in his eyes I could see capable of burning the whole town yet not realizing the power within coz the world never lets you believe in what you have inside, its unless you betray every logic …you go prime time unconventional... is when you see yourself beyond the mirror. I was always very unconventional … believed in myself but I did try to stop and think about feasibly of things not realizing the fact that the moment you give your mind a reason to step back it will go inside its shell like a tortoise under attack… you can never break its shell. I wish this little fellow could see himself in my eyes… the mirror in my eyes where he can see power of his childhood sacrifice… the mirror in my eyes where he is more than just a sweeper… like the way I was a king in his !!
You just need to believe in what you can be… and you already become.. The moment you doubt this as just a theory or just a feel good factor… you lose it… they who never left it ruled the world!!
"Confidence to be on the top is not a very rare thing to have… Guts to make it public against all the rebellion is a rare commodity to have… and If you do… we shall meet at the top" !!

A pending mail and a lost thought
Still a mail to be sent and its already 6:22… the bus don’t wait a minute more than 6:30 and I was still 7 Floors and 400 meters away from the bus. My mind was always the most congested place I knew until the elevator opened up, a few minutes more and it will be too late, but, it wasn’t, I got to the bus only to realize it didn’t matter even if I got it on time coz there was nothing waiting back home to rush for.
The theory of proportion becomes really clear when you understand that your age is directly proportional to time and your life inversely. A concept well understood by all but applied by a very few, did you know it takes just 2 tea spoon of confidence to live…but what makes "life" is when that confidence is added to a final touch to decorate survival. Sitting on that compact seat in the bus with knees almost inside my stomach still had all the room to let my mind roam around. It was jus a few minutes walk to my flat from where the bus dropped me but it was almost a light year from where my mind dropped me…
Cars…bikes…buses crossing the road faster than my heartbeat…and there I was thinking of corssing the raod, its funny how simple it is to move ahead …. You just need to wait for the traffic to stop, Yeah that’s what we all know already but why don’t we do the same in life? Hard time.. Sorrow.. Pain… all are nothing but heavy vehicles crossing the roads … they do follow the traffic rules, they do stop at a red light but we don’t… we don’t stop at a red light and keep moving .. I'll tell you a simple theory …whenever you want to move ahead in life… succeed in life… just tell yourself one thing… "Its not the red signal that’s stopping me from moving on… its me stopping for a while to clear the way for the one's coming after me" …. A sudden brake and I realized m at the destination… a pending mail and a lost thought… m home and still don’t have anything to rush for!

Another message tone
It was a message tone that went like a knife cutting the tension between my stare and the mirror and I realized it was already close to midnight and I haven't figured out what was different about today. It wasn’t a regular day for sure but nothing new happened as well…then why was it different.
The half empty water bottle sitting behind my bed still offering half of its self to me not realizing the switched off fan was already tired of the heat growing faster than any algae on everything around and my throat is no exception…but that does not stop my mind from thinking… still lost in what was different about today besides the temperature.
An unanswered question is more difficult to deal with than a headache, specially when the clock is running like it was its last chance at Olympics and you know that with morning comes your office which does not pay you for your sleep…the question is my own and so has to be the answer… the water level is going down in the bottle and I am in no mood to get up from my bed and get it re-filled. Wow!! I never thought a simple thought can turn out to be so complex…strange isn't it? … but the answers running through my mind like my fingers running on my keypad are stranger.
I know sitting in this room with four walls around cant let my mind be free… but I also know sitting in this room with four walls around cant keep my mind from feeling free…its not that difficult to live inside if you knew your body was just a cab your mind took from your house to the world around…the only problem is, it drops you more and picks less and very conveniently someone named it as "Complication".
I define this term as " Complication-: some sort of application that runs on your mind and makes sure that all operations in your mind are aborted before correct execution"…….
SHOOOOOOTTT… another message tone and its past midnight and it was now yesterday and no more a 'today' I was thinking of, just a set of digital numbers changed the whole day , don’t know if I still have the answer but I do know that surely will make the new today different from any other day… it will always be ironical how consistency is something everyone wants in life and yet here I am … trying to make every day of my life different… half closed eyes and a sleepy mind..
few drops of words falling out with every gulp of water emptying the bottle… I wouldn’t sleep on a wet bed ..better is to splash the drops of words on this notebook and let the battery be drained out… so here they come ….
"Walk besides your words they are yet to learn survival of meanings,
Its not going to take forever but a second before they strike new beginnings,
Not the drops of ink or the taps on keys it takes only a thought to fill pages,
It takes a moment to capture life in words for some…for some it takes ages…"
Wooooshh… the red LED just took away rest of my thoughts…. No its no fancy light, its my laptop flashing its red gear to let me know that its not just me who’s gona sleep thirsty with the bottle that’s already empty, but he as well will go off to bed with the thirst for some battery...
