LOST

Standing in the middle of a place
where I cant see my own face,
I feel so lost, so lost I can say
As I cant find any way…!!!

Which  is my direction,
Where should I go,
What will I choose,
I just don’t know…!!

How did I land here?
I am still searching for an answer…still searching…

Day and night..i used to work for the King.
I intended to join his army, to lead the troop,
To learn all the skills , and to get out of the ’coop’
To fight against all the enemies,  and save my own people
from all the sufferings and the pain.
Yes, I grew up happily, safely, ambitiously,
And the day came when I had to pass this test fearlessly,
But…………………………
 My hardwork, focus , determination was all in vain.


I decided to change, everything I could do,
To forget my dream  , to forget what I wanted to do,
“Let it  fade away , I want to and will find a new way”

And then I ended up in this place,
I don’t know how , I don’t know why,
I feel so lost amidst this place,
I try to find out  but I cant see any way….

Still searching for a direction,
Still looking for my Disha,
Raindrops falling on the ground,
The drops have inked a word – AASHA.

disha - a new direction

A seven year old boy kicked a football and said to me " look! the ball has gone so far!" I smiled at him and watched him running to the corner of the park where his ball had landed. He was about to pick up the ball when suddenly his thrilling expression changed to a serious one. He saw numerous ants ,all lined up and taking food to their shelter, some of them even passing it to others. He started following them.........
We all know that ants are social insects but this little boy did not. He had come to the park with the intention of just ' playing with his football' , which is exactly what a boy of his age is supposed to do but what turned out to be a surprise for him were the insects. He had never seen those tiny ants together, so huge in number, and that too lined up to perfom their task....And then the curiousity of his mind told him to follow them........
You do not know what comes next in your life , but every step you take leads you to a "new direction - DISHA", which opens your path to let you see , smell , taste , speak , think , experience and learn something new :)
"" watch out your next step , it may land you in a pothole,
    but, do not worry , there's always a hand to pick you up,
    and in your life , this 'hand' plays a very important role ""
