Heavenly Solitude !!!

Rains are rather strange as a season. Its as if it yanks the memories by their ear and pulls them out from the dusty crevices they had tucked themselves in,all along.There are so many of them triggering at me right now,that i fear if i try writing them all down,they would yield incoherence.Maybe i would post them when my expression doesn't fail me.

It was raining heavily last night and somehow i felt invited to dig into my past and hover around the memories i had, contemplating the unthinkable or may be reviving what was lost somewhere in the recent times. Such times are the best to enjoy the melancholy that surrounds you. The scenic beauty of my college premises enhances dramatically when it rains. Sitting on the sparkling grass, letting the water drops fall freely on yourself and diving into thoughts under the light of a halogen with darkness all around you gives u a relishing feeling of how beautiful can solitude be. Introspection made me enter into a different world....away from all the memorial dust that lay in my head.

Solitude can be therapeutic at times. After a long tiring day of tossed about in the hustle-bustle of life, spending a few minutes with ones own self seems like stealing some precious curio from a museum. There is something inexplicable about the feeling when one actually is alone without being lonely and is absolutely content at heart at that moment. With all the commitments and responsibilities weighing on one's shoulders from the onset of adulthood, for some even before that, it is essential and at times crucial for retaining sanity, not to mention clearing the mind. The mind, though not specified in the human body anatomically, is one's best friend and also one's worst enemy if put to wrong use. An idle mind is the devil's workshop , goes the famous saying. But is it really possible to make the mind absolutely idle, even when one is in a complete state of physical static? It is possible though difficult, say experts. Easier said than done, isn't it? No matter how many self-help books one reads or how many advices one seeks, in the end it is we alone who can change the course of our own life, for the better or otherwise. However wrong things seem tonight, they would seem a little less heavier tomorrow morning. Sleeping over troubles helps at times but that does not mean giving into sleep forever. Just like how sleep is needed to mend the day's wear and tear of the body, complete rest of the mind is vital to sort out the messes entangled within. Today was the perfect opportunity to weigh my senses and evaluate them. I am glad that i made the most of it.

Close your mind and look into your soul
For that is where dwells the real world
At times a hot furnace or as cool as ice
That is where lies life's precious pearl

When we come here nothing we bring
The same is taken back to that place
In this journey where joy and sorrow
Compete to occupy the greater space

Hang onto your soul to the best of respites
From nagging unruly crowds umpteen
Cleanse it, nourish it, let it be blessed
Lightening the very essence of being

Split or broken, never too late to mend
A true conscience always to the rescue
All that is needed is just a li'l bit of love
To put back together the pieces of you

So did you idleize your mind today?
