Gift a Direction to Our Growth...

For many say Grow Grow Grow…

Wait, let’s ask, which direction Bro?

Do we just Need More Money,

Or we only do it to Impress our Honey;

Do we merely wish to Hold a “Status”,

Or we do it for the Sake of Parents, Not to Hate Us…

Are we running a Race with No Finish,

Or we do it for our Insecurity to Diminish;

Are we just Following the Crowd,

Or we only aspire to make our Family Proud…

In School, in College, or whether, in a Premier Management Institute,

Did we choose a Direction, a Dream or a Substitute;

In Office, in Bed, or perhaps, during a short Vacation Instead,

Did we ponder on the thought, “Well, we are Growing, but which Direction do we Wish to Head…”

What is Our Ultimate Goal,

Being a Billionaire Leader or a Spiritual Soul…

Being an Avid Traveller or an Enlightened Yog Guru,

Being an Artisan in Inbe (Japan) or a Tour Guide in Churu (India);

Being an Archaeologist in Sindh or a Scuba Dive Trainer in Malaysia,

Being an Engineer in Ottawa or a Doctor in Croatia…

Where Do We Wish To Be,

Flying Over the Sky or Diving Under the Sea…

It’s time, we realize the Larger Universe Around,

Time to see beyond, the 10 x 10 feet compartments we Have Found;

It’s time, that we Realign our Focus,

Time to Question the Existing, Rediscover & Redefine Our Locus…

Come let’s together Take this Oath,

Let Us Gift a Direction to Our Growth…

To Discover or To Adapt – Change !

It all starts with the day we open our eyes,
We see people are already smarter & wise;
The day we take our very first step,
The marble awaits us neat & hep…

The day we utter our very first word,
We see people already understand our absurd;
The day we put up a cute very smile,
The smartphones seem to be clicking from quite a while…

The day we meet some peers around,
We realize they have learnt the same action & sound;
The day we find a companion very cutie,
Very soon we are told about something as Gender & Beauty…

As we grow and are ready to be learning more,
We realize there’s something as a School - already awaiting outdoor;
As we get admitted to the School outdoor,
Teachers await us to assess & score…

As we sit on a bench & wait,
We learn the story of Time & Date;
As we learn to listen & speak,
We learn the concept of Strong & Weak…

For all this while,
We cry & we smile;
We Follow We Adapt to,
The Change given to us…

Here comes the much awaited time,
To assess the value of our own wind chime;
Either continue to Follow and Adapt,
Or let’s Discover our own mighty raft…

Either do we become the Change,
Or keep craving - to be adapting to it;
Either do we write our own Rhyme,
Or keep humming the tunes we heard & sit…

There are roads laid before we wanted to Visit,
There are flights before we ever wanted to Fly;
There are equipment before we ever dreamt of Diving,
Is the Change being discovered or is everyone just striving…

Are we ready to Discover our own Might ?
Let’s better be Early – before dims the Sunlight…
