My friend's courage!!!

I have been really lucky to have friends in my life who have not only been there for me when i needed them but in their little way have inspired me in my life!Today i feel happy to see few of them continue to do so.
I met her when she was eight and i too was of the same age. We went to the same school and we lived very near to each other's place. I got to know her because i needed a friend in the new place and she seemed to be the smartest kid on the block! You know we always at the end of the day get into something because we need something. Anyway our friendship grew as we walked the paths of life. My dad got posted out and i left....Only to meet her again when i was around 18. We never did really get along at that time....But today we gel so well that even if i dont get to meet her because of her busy schedule,we can catch up on a conversation which lasts for hours. Today i stay very far from her and Its sometimes even difficult to meet or talk on the phone but she will always occupy my thoughts.
The reason why i am writing about her today is because today i feel proud to be her friend. Just spoke to her and found that her mom is at the last stage of cancer where the doctors have kind of given up. Auntie has been fighting cancer for the past ten years but i feel that its just not her because i can see the bruises on my friends heart as well. I can see the pain of letting her mom go away...the pain to let go of something can be very difficult. I know she will be able to get over the loss someday because she is very brave but its just so painful.
A few days back she came to know that her mom's cancer was genetically linked...its sad that someday i will probably will have to let go of my friend. But till then she will continue to inspire me every single day...and she will always be my strength to stand up and face life in its eyes!

solitary all the way!

I am wandering into the deep dark woods of life,
I stand for a while and look around,
I am standing in the middle of nowhere,
I am trying to escape into somewhere,
I need to go beyond….
I walk into a crowd of strangers,
I see faces unknown to me,
I seem to walk into oblivion,
There is ignorance all around me,
There is suffering everywhere I see,
My mind is blocked with images,
Images that scare me,
Images that make me feel pathetic,
I need to go beyond….
I sit by myself in the garden,
I think of things around,
Everything looks so perfect,
With flowers blossoming into their youth,
With birds singing their song,
With children playing their games,
And I seem to transcend into the world that is beyond,
And though it’s a solitary journey all the way…. I like it!

About my Blog...and why Should i blog??!!!

Amalgamation of ideas is what you will find here... ideas that come from nowhere and often tent to lead our lives! Ideas originate from various stimulants and when they do i feel the desire to express myself! Blogging here gives me an outlet into the world of reality. i believe imagination is one of the basic things that a human can do with his brains and WE often don't!

Here i would like to express myself on various things starting from music, to books to things happening in my daily life! sometimes i may not make sense at all but i am sure at some level i will make a connection through those senseless words!

Everybody goes through the experience of life and i am still going through them...this spot is also for a record of those experiences!
