Dreams.

Dreams, I had.
To achieve, I left.
Left alone, I am, now.
Baffled, I feel, among everyone
Amazed too, sometimes.
Looking at this world.
Strangers everywhere.
I want to smell, my land, again.
I want to see, my people, again.
But, This path I’ve chosen.
I have to keep walking.
Not certain I am, where it’ll lead me.
But I will not stop.
Not, until my last breath.
– I will conquer my fear.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Dive into my life.

My friends think I’m a spoiled brat.
Some say I’m blunt.
Some say I’m rude.
But hey, that doesn’t make a spoiled brat.
That’s just who I am.
That’s my attitude.
No, I do not come from a rich background.
I’ve seen all the luxuries of life.
I’ve also seen bitterness of it, the strife.
I’ve seen it all. The Good. The Bad.
I’ve felt that hunger, making me go, mad.
I’ve seen my ma and pa at their peak.
But, I’ve also seen them fallen down,
When sorrow surrounded us, and,
everything felt just bleak.
Yes, I am a bit skeptical,
I am a bit blunt, a bit rude,
And you know what?
I don’t even care about being booed.
My father and my mother gave me this life,
A happy, luxurious and comfortable life.
But they’ve always lived theirs in simplicity.
I’ve seen my family, rich, touching the sky,
But I’ve also seen them crumbling down.
I’ve learned from my father and my mother,
To never give up, to never lose faith.
I’ve seen them building an empire, again,
From the scratches, facing all the Wraith.
Go ahead, come on, NOW judge me.
For everyone, I ever met,
have always done that.
I might look tough, I might look rough,
I might sometimes be a prick,
But before you judge me,
Come, my friend, take a dive into my life,
Look, for real, who I am,
beneath this rugged skin.
A son, a brother, a broken lover.
Dive into my life, and you’ll know,
Why people say this phrase.
– Never judge a book by its cover.

INDIA.

Hindi is not our National language, Mr. Tharoor says. ​True. It’s not our national language. There’s no denial in that. But, Hindi and English are considered the OFFICIAL languages in INDIA. Thus, knowing Hindi is important, not a compulsion, but important.
There are 22 official regional languages in India. Everyone is free to practice any language they want, but, understanding Hindi and English is important. People opposing Hindi does not make any sense. Imposing Hindi on someone is wrong, but opposing the fact that Hindi is our official language is really horrid and absurd at the same time.

Peace.

Happiness and Peace comes from within.
It’s all in there, you just need to find it.
You shall achieve what you yearn for,
All you need to do is believe in thyself.

Duality.

The concept of duality is not new. Everybody has got a side which they never show anyone. Nobody is pure and pious. Our world is made up of black and white, good and bad, yin-yang. This is the universal truth. People veil themselves and pretend to be something they’re not, hiding behind those pretty smiling faces.
This is duality. Be yourself. Be free.

Raakh.

Wo aag ab sulagti nahi. Raakh jaisa bhi kuch bacha nahi shayad. Raakh jaisa jo bacha ta. Le gaya hawa use apne sath uda kar. Har dard har yaad ko mita dala us hawe ke jhonke ne. Ab ek nayi shuruwat ki oor kadam badhana hai. Tu aur mai liye hatho me hath. Bas ab hume ye ek sath nibhana hai.

Storm.

There’s a storm
Outside
As well as
Inside my head.

– A catastrophic storm.

Sabotage.

A toxic relationship.
Bringing unhappiness.
Malevolent humans.
Driven by enviousness.
Away, you need to stay.
From such humans & relationships.
Burn the bridges.
You must’ve heard this, from many.
I say, why burn it?
Destroy. Sabotage. Extinguish it.
To bits and pieces.
Completely. So that the world,
Would see, what can you do,
If they try to hurt you.
You are what you are.
Do not restrain yourself.
Be. What you are.
Do. What you want.
You only live once.
– Abhishek Gupta.

Different.

It’s a hard world to be different in.

Why is it so hard for people to accept other people the way these other people are? Why can’t uncanny be considered beautiful? Why does a person, who’s different, has to be treated as a cast out? Why can’t that different person just stay different and be happy? Why can’t Y’all just let that person be, what that person is?

Stop judging. Stop hating. Stop trying to control.

For the love of God. Just stop.

– Live and let live.
