Ways Can Split but Destiny Can’t!

I was just seven years old,
When I heard your first song.
Who could have expected back then,
This journey was going to be so long.

When I am happy,
The upbeat songs make my day more special.
And when I am sad,
The slow relatable ballads mend my soul.

I don’t just admire you for the the music you made,
But also for the life lessons you guys taught me.
Life never keeps going on the same lane,
And we must always be ready for the next turn.

I listened to your music by choice,
But becoming a directioner was out of my control.
It’s been eleven years since ‘The One Direction’ was formed,
And became the inspiration for millions.

All of you have gone separate ways now,
And may never return back together in future.
Still, I have this firm belief in my heart,
Ways can split, but destiny can’t!

A Time Matched By No Other

A very happy birthday to you,
My dear.
Another year older, the more you are wiser,
Don’t worry, dreams are about to come true, there’s no place for fear.

May you get everything you desire, And the dangerous pandemic leaves you unaffected.
Your close ones remain safe, by your side,
And the weight of the test of times is successfully hefted.

We don’t talk as much as we used to, this thought makes me shudder,
But I know you’ll always be my favourite sister and I’ll be your best brother.
Hope this year will bring lots of joy and happiness in your life,
A time matched by no other.

Walk on the Same Lane

From the very beginning,
I had this spark in my mind to bring about a change.
Starting from the boycott of refrigerants and air conditioners,
Till the complete stoppage of all kinds of other pollutants, they had to range.

It was around four years ago, I remember,
When I first presented my idea.
Voices were raised and I was declared a complete fool by common consent,
I was the center of laughter for the next few days because of my revolutionary mania.

I gave up consuming refrigerated items,
As soon as this idea occurred to me.
No more comfort of the air conditioned rooms,
Cause I knew success never comes free.

Not a single soul came to my side and recognised my efforts,
Instead, they always tried to ignore.
But I did not lose hope and continued my revolution on a small personal scale,
And whenever anyone tried to suppress me along with my ideas, I was always prepared to reply with a roar.

The years passed by,
I am still yearning for support.
Yes, the lone warrior of this idea welcomes all of you to give your contribution in whatever way you can,
And help in improving the environmental report.

I don’t regret anything,
Though, since then, I have had a tough life.
If we can move higher with this idea then my happiness can’t be reduced,
Even with a cut from a knife.

I hope all of my sacrifices,
Won’t go away in vain.
Let’s join our hands together and bring some difference in the world,
Success is not very far away if all of us walk on the same lane.

These Little Hobbies

Just to spend some free time
We all find unique ways
These things soon begin to define our personality
And helps us to lead the success race

These little hobbies looks so small
Yet becomes so crucial as we grow up
Our interests might change over the course of time
But their significance can’t be judged

So become a master of your own self
And keep on doing what you like
Don’t fall in traps that others may try to set for you
Beause you are the one who has got to shine

Milk and Bread

Don’t fight,
Always talk polite.
If an argument turns nasty,
Immediately get quiet.

Never lie,
Don’t be shy.
If you want to build a name for yourself,
Be a strong guy.

Don’t spread dust,
Be just.
In everything you do,
Always be first.

Of course it is easy to say,
But hard to get.
It feels like I am trapped,
Whenever try to make the first step.

We give our best,
But success never comes easy.
Even if we successfully clear an obstacle,
We mustn’t get lazy.

From toddling to achieving something great,
There is always a hurdle.
If we keep on thinking about it all,
Our mind weighs up with burden.

Sometimes it feels like I want to stop,
Don’t care if I get flop.
But what good will it be,
If I don’t even have a proper job?

We need to be brave boys,
As we haven’t got a choice.
Now it is time to grow up,
And leave behind our toys.

Although life offers a lot to gain,
Remember it is not a game.
If we really work hard with determination,
There is endless fame.

It is nothing but a feeble knot,
Tied on a single thread.
We need to decide very wisely before making every move,
Not so easy just like eating milk and bread.
