Want or Need?

What do I want?
What do I need?
Are they the same
Should I pay some heed?


All the glitter and the glamour
Is it happy as it seems?
Fan following there are many
Or is it all just Gleam?


More and more we want
Soar the soul is the goal
Will this come to Taunt?
Or will this make me whole?


Content with the need
Will they pay some heed
Calm down my dearest heart
Life is good not all tart


Love's all the warmth & sugar
Care's all the shine & glitter
Joy's needed for the Spirit
I am a Fighter not a Quitter

    Our needs are quite simple. But our wants make life more interesting by complicating it :)

    I guess, wants belong to a higher level than needs.
    Once we have our needs, we can have our wants.
    Nice, short poem.

    Excellent lines. Thank you.
    When I restrict my need
    And curb my want,
    My life turns indeed
    A pleasurable haunt.

Meet Cute

 It was a chilly morning, Diya woke up to go for her morning walk by the lake, she geared up in her walking clothes got a bottle of water and left home. The lake was only 5 mins away from her home. It was just the view of the lake that made her want to get up and go for that walk every single day, and even on days she didn’t go for a walk she went and sat at her favorite bench to gaze at the lake and look at the sunrise.   This morning was no different, she always sat at her favorite bench after a walk to relax and enjoy that peaceful calmness. Little did she know that today would change her life forever. After her walk, she couldn’t wait for her Zen time at the bench. Today however when she approached the bench, it already had another person sitting on it, he was wearing a peach-colored T-shirt, and looked like he was having a Zen moment of his own and enjoying the view.   After careful consideration she sat beside him, and gave him a smile and said, “beautiful v...

Friends Forever

Image
I am a person who loves to build friendships to last a lifetime, it takes a while with every person, as i take my own sweet time building trust and opening up. As i was thinking about my best friend today who is far away in India, and thanks to social media we are in touch every day, its interesting the way we began our friendship Lets call my partner in all Crimes ;) Vi. She moved to the apartment near me when we were in 2nd grade, and when she moved we already had an existing gang of kids in the area who played together, the leader was called Joy. Vi was very friendly and was easily accepted into the gang. Joy and Vi were playing a game called Jolly.... silly game now that i think about it, you are supposed to mark you hands with this little blob and then when you meet the person anytime you are playing this with, you need to show your hand, and if both have , its good, if not the one who doesn't have it should give the other one a candy. Vi reached a point in the game...

Memories - I Miss You

My earliest memory are of my cousins, my brother and myself playing Bus Conductor (Ticket collector) and passengers where he would have this cardboard with newspaper pieces stapled to it and we would get on the bus and ask for tickets to different locations and he would tear them off, give them to us for some invisible money we give him. (BTW this game was in the balcony of our home in Mumbai) I miss you Anna (Anna was my way of calling him "Big Brother") As a child even though I am 7 years younger to him, i would keep even the littlest piece/quantity of food for him to share. My mom would do this prasad (Offering for god) every evening in this little cup Milk and sugar and would give it to me, i would always always keep even a little drop for him. I miss you Anna Just so you know we have fought a lot as well, i am my dads favorite and tears always did the trick where it would flow even before i have a slightest inclination that i was in Trouble. But for Anna since he...
