Life: a crushed paper – try to beautify it!

It was one of my composition classes and as always, I was busy in some literary explanation. Suddenly my eyes fell on this boy who was lost in his own world. Quiet and composed he looked, but I pointed him out, asked explanation of the line taught, he explained and I moved on to the next line. While I caught him red-handed, he managed to escape easily.

Next time again, I found him doodling in the composition class. But this time he was busy with a mermaid. He looked like an enigmatic fictitious character to me , just like a puzzle to be solved out. Lost in his own world, enjoying his solitude, he never seemed to be interested in this world of we mortals. He enjoyed his world of dreams and imaginations, talking to his own self and never allowing anyone else to enter in his world.

Anyhow, now I think, I have given you enough of his introduction. The name of this boy is Divay Khatri and I taught him Composition.

And today, I am happy to share with you one of his compositions, giving a glimpse of his world . I am sure you too would enjoy it and appreciate his perspective on life and things that trouble him and matter him the most. He loves photography and writing poetry, to read more and know more about him, you can follow him on his blogging site: http://divaykhatri.blogspot.in/

Now enjoy his poem….Life: a crushed paper-try to beautify it

You are in this world and don’t know what to do
A devil and an angel on your shoulder confusing you…
You are such a grown up now and might have suffered a lot too
In this journey of yours, have you not got anything, yet to do?

Then take out a paper and a pen
Lock yourself in an empty cell
No music, no distractions
Just you and your mind should be in.

You will see then, a vision in front
Too blur and too light, for you to confront

Pushing you, towards you aim, it will force you to move

 But what is your aim? Have you ever thought of it, ever before?

Till date, you know what all you have sacrificed
And no one can tell better, then you, yourself
You got something -was it a gain or a loss?
Whatever it may be, your present shows it all

Why don’t you think, think for yourself at least
Try and have some options, in your life as a lavish treat
Make it possible to change them
Never choose an easy way to trace them
The tough choices will make you play
Play, which is the basic of all learning
Remember, it was a part in your childhood grooming as well
Consider yourself as a child again
Learn something presentable every now and then

I can understand you, you are my friend
But who else will take pains for doing, other than you, yourself
I just ask you to focus on one thought at a point
And then allow your other thoughts to come and join

Your case might just be like ‘two roads diverging in a yellow wood’
And sorry you could not travel both
I am just asking you to figure it out
The ways you can deal with and find your way out

Share your thought with yourself first
Give an hour or two
Make chemistry your girlfriend/boyfriend
And ask physics to help you out
You have so many abstract things to be yours in every way
Just change the way you see, the way you perceive the world

Why to be dependent
When you can be everything for yourself
Oh go… go about, do something precious
Make the world know you more
Allow them to feel your unique vibrant odor

You are in this world… you know for what you are for
No one else can make you realize
Sit and ask for yourself
Are you happy with your life so far?

You are in this world and only you know what to do
A devil and an angel, whom to choose and with whom to move…
Don’t let you regret your choice in life

Your life is like a crushed paper
You can’t remove the wrinkles
But you must try to beautify it’s life!
