What does one think is a reflection of his surroundings & the ups & downs in his life. Everyone's life is an entirely different ballgame be it a rich business man, a middle class shop owner or a poor man. There're many situations which tend to befuddle you. Where and how do you find answers to appalling truths of life? Rather than alienating yourself from the world, here is an attempt to help pacify your antagonized mind. So keep writing whether its bilge or sagacious.

I Look Back

This is for all the people who have been a part of our life from the time we were born till today. I am sure this will hold true till we die. The moments we have spent with the people around us fill our lives with smiles. Even the smallest of mistakes that we do, we smile at those at some point in life because we are over those feelings of guilt. The things that we have said that we shouldn't have, fill our heart with emotions for those loved ones and not so loves ones, once again. We miss those moments, the moments of being in someone arms as a baby all the time, the moments of someone playing with us all the time, the moments of being with friends, the moments of playing, the moments of fighting over small things, the moments of tension for exams, the enthusiasm to become something, the need to prove ourselves to our family and friends.


I look back when I was a new born baby
I smiled because someone would hold me his?her arms
I smiled when someone sung me a lullaby
I smiled when someone kissed me
I smiled for everyone
I smiled for no reason

I look back when I was growing
I giggled when someone made fun of me
I giggled when someone played with me
I giggled when someone tickled me
I giggled with everyone
I giggled for no reason

I look back when I was a kid in school
I laughed when I saw someone falling on the ground
I laughed when I tied someone's shoe laces
I laughed when I saw someone losing the game
I laughed with everyone
I laughed for no reason

I look back when I was in middle school
I played when ever there was sports day in school
I played when ever I got time
I played when I participated in school
I played with everyone
I played for no reason

I look back when I was in high school
I studied when ever there was home work
I studied when ever I got time
I studies when ever there was a test
I studied with everyone
I studied for a reason

I look back when I was in college
I took all the classes for good grades
I took all the classes so I can learn more
I took all the classes to get the job of my choice
I took all the classes but with selected few people
I took all the classes for a reason

I look now where I stand
I work for a reason
I smile when I think of the people who made me smile
I smile when I think of those silly moments of giggle with friends when we were kid
I smile when I think of the moments full of laughter
I smile when I think of how badly we lost the games
I smile when I think of the worries that surrounded me just to get good #s in exam
I smile when I think of the horrifying classes that we had to take with absolutely no interest
I smile when I think of how everyone struggled to get a job
I smile when I think of how exciting it was to get the first pay check
I wonder if we often giggle, laugh, play, study or go to classes with those feelings.

I don't, do you?
