I Remember You

I can't focus any longer

Drowning in my own dreams

I thought about those seconds today

The seconds we walked together

I remember those steps

Gifts which you gave me are still with me

My only friend

Lessons which you taught me are still with me

My only friend

People were leaving 

Sorry for not saying bye

I mean nothing

I have a heart full of thoughts which can't reveal it's feelings

While you were leaving my pride, you forget to see my eyes

You know nothing about my cry

My only friend

My sweetest friend

What have I done

I don't have time machine to reach those days

You are different in your own way

My only friend

I see your photos every now and then

That feels me like I'm in heaven

My sweetest friend......

Holding Back in Hell's Gate

Demons are riding on the thunder clouds
        Behind the hell, my soul is crying loud
Freaking red lights in the heaven's gate
        Paying for the pending sins in my fate
Exorcise me from the darkness
       Oh my lord give me forgiveness

This was sung by a soul waiting outside HELL

Everything Ends Once It RAINS

 

Everyone knows there is a bridge between the two extremes Birth and Death. We call that bridge as ‘Life’. The length of the bridge differs. No one can define it. The below passage is a comparison of an indefinable life with a cloud.

Life is like a floating cloud. It’s hard to define a cloud where it starts and ends. I can say it starts and ends somewhere in between the sky and the land. These clouds sometimes move alone or sometimes with their buddy clouds. In their journey, these clouds don’t know when they get the companionship. Whenever, they get some, they move along with them if not they move alone. Like that in the journey of life people get friends at some point of time. A few of the lucky friends continue their journey together. Most of them choose their own path.

These clouds from birth become the puppets for the wind. Whichever directions the wind is blowing, the clouds have to move in the same direction. They have no other choice. Dependability plays a vital role here. Are these clouds complaining about wind? No, absolutely not. They are not ashamed of their dependability. Without these wind, the clouds are nothing. They can't move anywhere. They are motionless. They can’t achieve their destiny. Their destiny is to become a rainfall. Unless a cool breeze touches them, they know they can’t achieve their destiny.

We people are also puppets for many things money, love, relationship, pride, man, woman, authority etc., there are innumerable things. Everyone destiny differs. Depends on their destiny, they choose their puppet master.

Some clouds achieve their destiny and some not. We people too. 

Volition

This song is about an athlete volition

Where am I leading? Where am i leading?

In this lunatic round

Where am I playing? Where am i playing?

In this crowded ground

Sins of my past, follow till last

Make me weak and break me like a twig

Hands are helping in the darkness

Can't hold them is my weakness

For me hope is like a sun

Rises during the first and sets for the rest

But it always be there, in me, with me

Till I stop revolving it

It's not my dream, it flows in my bloodstream
This is truly raw, will burn the useless straw

Will happen, will happen, will happen

Someday.........

Terms-"Influence" and "Manipulation"

People differ, attitude differs, thought differs, and opinion differs. These are the terms I read in various newspaper, heard from some management thinkers and some friends. Technically speaking, these terms are absolutely true. Everything is in this world are different (Both tangible and intangible). They have certain unique things on their own. In this post I’m going to discuss about two terms 'Influence' and 'Manipulation'. Both are elusive terms.

When I was attending the Leadership training program in my company, the trainer he asked about what are the good traits of a Leader? When I was about to give an answer, someone in the hall already gave that same answer. In order to show my presence, suddenly I said "Leader should be a good manipulator". Everyone in the room started staring at me like I said an offensive word. Trainer asked me with his widely opened eyes, "Manipulator?” I said "Yes, sir". If you take the example of Adolf Hitler...He interrupted me and said "No, no. You are going out of topic."

Last night, I had a long discussion about these two terms with my friend. His opinion is both the terms are different. I asked him why? He tried to convince me by saying lots of thing but i wasn't convinced. We talked about sender's end and receiver's end. Sender is the guy who is manipulating or influencing. Receiver is the guy who gets manipulated or influenced. In the verge of discussion, he said "If the receiver is happy and feel proud of it then we can say he is influenced" and the vice verse "If the receiver is unhappy and not felling proud of it then we can say he is manipulated". Yeah, it makes sense. Some say 'influence' is a positive connotation and 'manipulation' is a negative connotation. This not at all making any sense to me because I’m saying both influence and manipulation are same in this present world.

When I posted I say 'Manipulation' and 'Influence' are same in Facebook. One of my friends commented like this "of course.. u can say anythin u want.. its fb n not xam paper..  Oh God, I don't know what to reply for this. Some friends said attitude differs. Some friends accepted my opinion.

I don't know which one is true. Is it same or different? In order to rationalize my statement “I say 'Manipulation' and 'Influence' are same” I have the following opinion

According to me nothing will come for free except parent's love. Influencing or manipulating other people means making other people to do something for them or to others or to himself or herself i.e., influencer or manipulator. Influence is same that of manipulation. Why do people influence someone to do something? Because they need some benefit out of it. If the people seek for benefit from others, that means they are manipulating others to do something. So, influence=manipulation. No one is going to waste their time to do something, if they are not getting anything out of it.
