When someone is trying very hard to get something, they don’t. And when they’re running away from something as hard as they can, it usually catches up with them.

What is right ?

I have been thinking about it. Defining myself, piece by piece. Trying, and all I find is an endless turmoil sealed with black. What do we define. How do we even try ? Do we just keep on till we are confronted with what hits us and pushes us beyond where our comfort lies ? I see the same and I feel the same when I see the eyes of an animal. A dog. A cow. Even a bird. Is everybody just as lost ?

This emptiness now seems like a comfort, sometimes, bringing peace in its hollow hope of bright days. Where do we go from where we've been led ? Where do we bury our deepest secrets and wear clean clothes of honesty and be animals in their innocence and simplicity ?

It's a mad world we live in. Going on about nothing. Mindlessly lost in our own creations. That's another level of pride we must enjoy in our otherwise hollow selves, stuffing us with what matters least. But then, who defines what matters most ?

Its just something to think about. To quit on our hypocrisy and come out as clear water, transparent. There were streams. Endless streams which revealed their bones under the sparkling sun. Now its clouded with our footprints, and no matter what we do, I see birds falling and animals dying. I see death in me and in you. Is that a choice a well ?

Remember who we are and what we have and change all that we can for a world never imagined. Thats our power. Stare deep in a dog's eyes, you know exactly what its shouting for that you refuse to hear. See the truth beyond your ability to understand. Its the sound of the universe, weaving into you and into me, ceaselessly, that maybe someday, we'll live.

Misery

Misery is only an illusion. We define it as an outcast yet need it to value happiness even though we have it in us to end it whenever we want. Somewhere deep down, in the darkest corners of our being, we are sadists. Its only a matter of choice. We choose to suffer. Hence we do.

Such was the moment and such was her simplicity.

Love can take many forms. I get to know more with each passing moment. After she dies, she wants to be those little white flowers that are always smelling beautiful and be left at His feet. Only touching, barely. She called it true bliss, her vision of how her soul should meet her maker. She loves those little white flowers. At the moment when they would be crushed over by Him stepping up on them, all that there'd be around would be that enchanting smell that she'd represent. Ever lasting, into the beyond. What was love for her for Him ? Presented in its most childish form, in its simplicity and at the same time it was absolutely absurd to be understood.

But I understand how its simplicity and its beauty is all that matters. At His feet. Barely there and connected. She smiled while telling me this. Driving. Maybe thinking twice before uttering those words, thinking twice before framing their essence in beauty. And it felt like dew drops on the morning leaves. Her feelings and her love radiated that. Her smile and her childish dreams. That slow movement to see my reaction which, now that I think of, wasn't as nearly well reciprocated. Such was the time where my head grazed the grass of distant fields. Such was the moment. But I understand how simple one's love can be.

So this moment is etched forever. The child in her lives through Him. In her deepest corners, surfacing everyday in hopes to be saved and I believe that one day she will be. When the time is right. Isn't it all that should matter ?

This woman is my muse, my inspiration. There are times I feel detached from the world, times when I need inspiration, and then her one smile my way makes everything perfect. Thank you @avu3 for all the happiness. #makeportraits

I have a request for all my followers and viewers. Comment in the section below what you think life means to you. I am always going around, asking different people for their perspectives on life, on happiness, to be probably able to find an answer that I am able to justify because I am lost myself and would love you all to share your insights with me. Do take out a couple of minutes for this. (at 🌟See Caption🌟)

I am hoping for a sunny tomorrow.

Due to the recent feature by @instagram, my feed has kinda exploded a little (a lot 😛), and I have not been able to get back to a large number of people to thank them for all their likes, beautiful comments and follows. So, this image is just a token of gratitude, to thank you all beautiful people for taking time out to visit my profile and for leaving those wonderful comments for me. I appreciate every single one of you. Thank you. 😄✨

Celebrating 2000 Followers. I am extremely thankful to @instagram and all my lovely followers for all their love. Right now, I'm falling short of words, so I'll just end up with a simple THANK YOU ! 😊

I am honoured beyond limits to see @instagram feature my entry for its #WHPHelpingHand. I believe that it is the small things we do everyday that matter and change us to be better human beings. I am blown away by the honour I have been bestowed with and I would like to thank Instagram and all my viewers for giving me this opportunity.

Is that, the Slender Man !?? 😵😵

Tree roots churning their way through a wall.

They say that a dog is a man's best friend. And they say it true. One small act of kindness, one little bowl of warm milk and they shall love you, look forward to seeing you everyday as if it were the last day of their lives. I did not go out to attend and help an old lady cross the street, or help a poor man collect enough money to go through the day without an empty stomach, rather I found this little one with a hurt hand after a dog fight that he might have gotten into and tended to this beautiful creature as if it were my own little child. I believe that we can change the world and love other people only when we are able to love animals, and the nature with it. They are the true judges of your compassion and understanding. It must have been a coincidence for Instagram to host its #WHPHelpingHand just a day before when I had the opportunity to help this little one get better. Or probably as they say, that everything has a purpose. I believe there is a purpose for everyone and it is on a much higher path than what we walk on right now. All we have to do, is find it. So, this image is my entry for @instagram's #WHPHelpingHand and I hope that more than anything, it is able to ignite a passion in the hearts of all viewers, to simply love.
