Beyond Reasons - A Short Story

Monkey Mind ...
' Monkey mind ' is an attempt to capture a running monologue in a person's mind. Read on .
You trick me at times
Will you come for my rescue ?
You make me loose control
And I emerge weak
You are stubborn
And keep me wandering
Across random graying alleys
I give up, and you win.
For all I know
I am lost
Lost far far away
From where I see myself growing
Rising against odds of my mind you are creating
Seems just impossible.
Oh, my dear mind!
Enough of this monkey business
Can we have our symphony now ?
I am nothing without you
Help me fill up this void
Like you've always done so far.
Please don't abandon me now
I assure, I will thrive well in your company.
Come, walk along with me in harmony.
Will you come for my rescue ?
You make me loose control
And I emerge weak
You are stubborn
And keep me wandering
Across random graying alleys
I give up, and you win.
For all I know
I am lost
Lost far far away
From where I see myself growing
Rising against odds of my mind you are creating
Seems just impossible.
Oh, my dear mind!
Enough of this monkey business
Can we have our symphony now ?
I am nothing without you
Help me fill up this void
Like you've always done so far.
Please don't abandon me now
I assure, I will thrive well in your company.
Come, walk along with me in harmony.

In a flash …
' In a flash ... ' is a short poem , which tries to put forth the awakening cognitions with one's own self, across a short journey through time, in a flash of a moment.
I pause …
I look back, beyond time
I see, zillion reasons to smile and cheer
Still, for all the unspoken struggles
which made me weak
A tear rolls down, and I smile.
I learned it the hard way all through
And emerged stronger, even before I knew.
I pause …
And I try to see, beyond time
How the days to come will be ?
I hope to see, zillion reasons to smile and cheer
But for the silent thoughts,
The slow growing web, spun by all expectations unheard.
Will I fall a prey to it ?
And get hurt, from no one else
But myself …
I pause …
And look around,
The bright sun and the blue skies -
The chirping of the birds,
And the gentle breeze persuading me
To believe in the moment.
The 'Now' which is so much alive
And I feel energized.
I pause ...
I laugh out loud,
At my fears and anticipations
which suddenly disappeared
In the moment called 'Now'
And I walk ahead,
with this new realization
For the joy of conquest
begins here, with myself.

Not a zephyr for sure ...
It was a lazy sunday afternoon. Pleasant weather, perfect for relaxing at home. Just like how I had planned. Around dusk, just before moon rise, the winds started making strange howling noises, like in classic horror movies. They were perhaps moving at 20 miles per hour, or maybe more. It felt like it might rain any moment. Or maybe even worse. More lightening thoughts flashed in, pointing out the possibilities of either tornadoes or hurricanes. Adding fuel to these thoughts, were the open windows that made high frequency rattling noises, making the scene more dramatic. The speeding winds with their harsh noises, had definitely made their sudden presence felt. Just a not-so-gentle reminder from them. Nothing serious happened later. We watched some TV and called it a day.
But the winds hadn't completed their task yet. The evening scenario had doubled in it's intensity and strength. Maybe it rained too. The winds were blowing harder and faster than ever. And the noises were louder this time. I was unable to sleep and was uneasy in my bed. Even if I didn't want to, I had no choice. All I could think of, was the resulting destructions these winds could cause. Totally baseless, but they were sure depriving me of a good night's sleep. It was only when my husband got up and closed the windows, that these disturbing sounds stopped. I fell asleep, in the midst of some quiet conversation with myself.
The wind blows everyday. We take them for granted. But it's presence is only felt when its either a zephyr or a strong gust, and not otherwise. Similarly, we put a lot of effort in our lives daily. But we may not be recognized. Maybe, we too are taken for granted. If being a zephyr works for you, well and good. Doing good work and being nice pays most of the times. But if that doesn't work out, be courageous to make that extra noise. Clear your mind. Voice your thoughts. Mark your presence so you won't be forgotten easily. Just like the winds, your presence will be felt.

Pointers on my realization so far .. in bits n pieces....
We do so many things.. we meet so many people .. we learn and realize from our many many experiences ... But then, time and again we get busier with our mundane lives and end up falling in same pool of mistakes. I have tried to list some of my realizations so far, maybe I will add-on more of them in days to come .. Maybe this will work as a anti-rust on the , if not forgotten realizations...
- No point in worrying about tomorrow. It drains your energy and leaves you all the more miserable.
- You are only one your kind. Comparing yourself with someone is like digging your way into misery. Believe in yourself. Do not get carried away by others material success. You know best,what makes u happy !! Just keep doing it and move forward ..
- Pamper yourself. Be regular in going for jog/walk or aerobics classes which makes you happy. Spend some time with yourself, cos no one can judge you better than yourself...
- Sometimes keeping patience is better than worrying about results. Money is not everything in life..But do not be ignorant. Take control of things and you will see how things change around you ..
- Always take some time to work on your hobby..Indulge in music, paint, cook , get your hands dirty in the garden.. there are so many new things to explore .. Venture out and surprise yourself... :)
- Make time for your loved ones. You cannot to busy always. If not you will end up hurting them.
- Expectations hurt. Some people never change. Understand and accept it and life becomes easier after that..
- You cannot have your legs on two boats and still expect not to sink ...Be bold enough to take a decision .Maybe the decision you take might be harsh... you cannot please every body all the time.. Leave it , if someone doesn't understand .. maybe someday they will :)
- Enjoy and cherish small small moments .. never forget to smile your way through tough times, cos they dont last forever :)

Element of surprise ... as a emotion ... :)
Sometimes we have a fixed opinion on some people, how they think , how they behave , how they react and similar such thoughts ... Yes. I am somewhere proving to be judgemental . But then I feel we just cant stop, not being so. There's always a surprise element when they do something, which no doubt, made you happy but left a question in your mind -'Is this the person I have known ?' , followed by a smile on your face :) You feel good even though you are proved wrong somewhere .. Rather its a bonus to you cos you have discovered something new about your friend or person concerned that it makes things easier. Seriously, emotions are beautiful :)
Hope to find more surprises which leaves you happier with newer discoveries.
