Run your own race
Life is not less than a marathon race,
Our tracks are marked to run with grace.
Focus only on your track,
Don't try to cross the track even by mistake.
Comparing yourself with others never helps,
It will definitely lead to distraction of your focus.
Once the focus is lost,
Being on the track is a waste.
Run the race in your own pace,
If you want to beat, beat yourself and not others.
'Run your own race', it may lead to success,
Don't create a hurdle in other's track, support them with your wishes.

Study nowadays
This pace of race,
For study is different now..
The need of concentration,
And a lot of distraction.
The wrong attraction,
And least satisfaction.
Is, the trend now..
Pushing your limitations
Is important now..
And see, your parents has begun,
The admission of yours..
And of course,
May God bless you
With robotic quality...
Cuz, there is no place,
For your creativity!!

I kept running so fast,
So fast that I lost sight,
Of all the things that I left behind,
And when I looked back,
I could only see the blank sky,
The scent of the loneliness,
that I gasped weighed my shoulders,
Lost in time and memories,
I wished this was a dream,
That I could wakeup from.

XY chromosomes always won the race for the egg, until she came along.
Girl, she was called.

Crashed
With all of us riding top speed on our bike,
To have the slightest of lead in the race of life.
Foolhardily,
I rammed into your bike from behind,
Although by mistake,
It seemed like a stab in your back,
With my bike now spiralling out of my control,
I saw you steady yourself and regain control.
All of a sudden everything was changing,
Not allowing me to process what's happening
Ultimately, I crashed into the sideline,
Hitting bedrock way before finishline.
Now I have nothing left to achieve,
Should I just give up and accept defeat?
But I still want to get up again and ride,
Not to race, only just for the ride.

Satisfaction
A person who just keeps
expecting for more,
no matter how much of something
or everything it gets and
a person who keeps on running
behind perfection in everything,
never gets satisfaction
in his heart.

Race
In the race of life,
We miss trivial
But treasured moments.
The chirpy banter of birds;
The swooshing rustle of leaves;
The gurgling fall of streams;
The babbling melody of babies;
The incessant ringing of insects;
The colourful plethora of dawn and dusk;
The tranquil silence of the night.
The last time
We enjoyed those moments...
Is in the distant past...
Or was never there.
In the race of life,
We lost more
Than we gained.
The adrenaline will wear off...
But the lost
Are the lost
In the race of life.

To adopt the peace we have to give up the race of maintaining the pace.

Zindagi ki dhod mai
Kuch rishte piche chut gae
Jitne ki Chah Mai
Kuch humse Ruth gae
Kuch ko hum bhul gae

दौड़ते रहो!!!!
दौड़ते रहो!!!!
देखो जहाँ भी, दौड़ है..
जाने कहाँ जाने की? क्या पाने की होड़ है?
आगे वालो को पीछे होने का..
तो पीछे वालो को पीछे रह जाने का खौफ है..
मंज़िल नहीं, न अंतिम रेखा कोई..
आपस में जीत की ही ये दौड़ है..
देखो जहाँ भी बस दौड़ है..
अंत नहीं, अनंत ये दौड़ है..
अंत सबका तय है..
फिर भी प्रतिस्पर्धी सबसे ऊपर,
मानता इस प्रतिस्पधा की होड़ है..
ऊपर वाला भी देख हँसता होगा..
बाँट कर मुझे धर्मों में..
मांगते है.. आगे निकलने का रास्ता होगा??..
चहरो की खूबसूरती पर मरता है ये जहां..
खूबसूरती चहरो तक ही रही हो जहाँ..
क्या दर्शन देगा?? क्या कृपा करेगा वो..??
शायद इस लिए सबको अपने हाल पर छोड़ गया है वो..
खुद बनाई दुनिया से शर्मिंदा..
वो भी यहाँ से बहुत दूर दौड़ गया..!!
देखो जहाँ भी दौड़ ही तो है..
क्या पाने, कहाँ जाने? की होड़ ही तो है..!!

Perseverance
Perseverance is not a long race .
It is a series of short races one after the other.

The Race
Time ran faster than me,
And left me behind in the past.
Who knew a race was being run,
Amidst the seemingly simple process of living?
Realising what was at stake,
My naive heart pumped blood like a maniac.
My overworked lungs dealt oxygen and carbon dioxide at a frantic pace.
They diagnosed it as hyperventilation.
But who knew, a race was being run.
I ran as fast as my limbs could carry me,
Playing catch up to all the moments I had lost.
Rapidly burning through my youth,
Like a thousand matches lighting up the nitrate reels of my childhood.
Lap after lap, the distance seemed to decrease.
Life was slowly drowned,
By the sounds of gravel shifting below impatient feet.
Until Nostalgia's open shoelaces tripped me,
Setting in motion, a fall from grace.
And Time, that tireless tyrant,
Continued to run faster than me.
Who knew a race was being run,
Amidst the harmless ticking of a stupid clock?

Race:
I wanted to run afree with you by my side
Run to the finish line together with pride
But you kept your feelings in hide
And you were never on our side
I wished you never lied
Coz now I can't stop this tide
To hell with this race you cried
But all along I dreamed of being your bride
You said your love for me has died
And now I can't feel my heart beat inside.

Little orange and yellow have mixed
Now I know it's time for Dawn to come
Light rays seem as if in a race
Seeing who'll win in this long run
Hiding behind mountains like a game
Peeking through room windows
And when they spread all you'll see is
How light slowly with time grows.

When Mama Sally saw my hands
She said I couldn't be hers
When Mama Sally saw my nose
She said I couldn't be hers
When Mama Sally saw my toes
She said I couldn't be hers
When Mama Sally saw my body
She said I couldn't be hers
When Mama Sally saw my ears
She said, Oh, those are my grandfather's ears
When Mama Sally saw my eyes
She said, Oh my!
But those blue eyes are my very own eyes
Still she said I couldn't be hers
What could I
A day old babe do
But to wail as loud as I could
For not getting the warmth I need
For been born dark instead of fair
And not been showered the love I deserve.

RUNNING BACK TO YOU
I ran and ran, thought i could fix myself,
thought i had the answer to my question
Questions asked before i came to this world
Became my own doctor, thought i was qualified
caged my hurts and nursed my wounds
I ran and ran, lost on this journey without taking a step
Became a prodigal son without leaving my house
A pilot about to crash my own plane i was
A sailor wanted to sink my own ship i was
Life would have swallowed me and belched my bones out
I ran and ran, In the mirror what i saw was a shell
On the road what i saw was a shadow screaming for help
My neck shook for sorrow, wobbled like a old lady
The thoughts in my head too much for it to carry
Ran like an antelope, thought i was running the right race
Ran like a cheetah until i realised i was only a snail
On the untarred road i ran, pointy pebbles pricked my feet
On the dark paths i followed, hot coal burnt my legs, hurt my soul
I ran and ran, i stopped and thought, knew i was wrong
Turned and saw the light, shining bright and calling me to life
Leaped and bounced like a red flower i blushed
ran towards the light, till i saw kids my age running
On their heads a crown, looked like a Disk
On their feet a pair of shoes, looked like a Tree
We ran, i ran, holding hands together we ran
Singing praises we ran, Shouting and jumping
still running we are, not stopping we are
I smiled and looked the light smiled at me
I am running and running, running back to you
I am running and running, the light still smiling back at me
My burning feet is healing, My broken soul is mending
This race is leading me home, i know
I'm running and running, I'm running back to you my God.RUNNING BACK TO YOU
I am running and running, the light still smiling back at me
My burning feet is healing, My broken soul is mending
This race is leading me home, i know
I'm running and running, I'm running back to you my God.

We got freedom from the Britishers but we are again conquered by the religions and caste .
We proudly say that India is a democratic country but still we fight on the name of religion , we fight as Hindu or Muslim .
There is no religion or caste in India except one religion and that religion is Indian (Hindustani).
Until and unless we don't stop fighting on the name of religion we are not fully independent.
If you are really a true Indian then from today follow only one religion that is Hindustani (Indian).
