A Sleepless Night

Twisting and turning as I lay in bed,
Sleep nowhere, questions popping in head
Visions from past hovering my mind
Dreams of future I still had to find
A sleepless night, as it was
I wished the present could pause
For I wanted to soak in every bit
And had a belief that nowhere else I could ever fit

My thoughts were becoming heavy and so were my eyes,
Tried to shut both, only to realize
Many questions, in my mind still lingered
Answer to which were not yet figured
A battle between sleep and thoughts was fought
A conclusion was reached, that I never would have thought.
Light of dreams slipped swiftly
Lulling me into my subconscious being quietly

Opening my eyes to the breaking dawn
The uncertainty and doubts were gone
Ray of hopes today had brought
Everything was clear in my thoughts
Beauty of  answers embraced my being
Even the morning seemed to have a melodious ring
Promising myself a memorable today
I smiled looking at the way.
AHEAD!

 No matter how dark the night maybe,

The light is just round the corner to brighten YOUR WORLD!

 

Teacher! Teacher!

The peace of mind one receives after giving,

Can never be compared with what one receives after taking.

As kids all of us have played games that now seem silly enough to laugh at. My sister and I were fond of playing "Teacher Teacher"; she always was the teacher and I sat through her class as a dumb student. Years passed and we grew up forgetting our childish plays. It was not until a month back that I realized that my teacher, my sister was inclined towards teaching an underprivileged student who had no money to pay her, all that her student has for my sister is awe and respect.
Last night, I asked my sister "How is the experience of teaching a real student?" She told me that it is feeling that contents her, that makes her worth of the love her student showers on her, it defines the true meaning of being educated. Though, she added that she isn't the most patient of teachers, yet she enjoys teaching a lot. The smile and shine in her eyes were symbols of satisfaction she feels in giving what she possesses.
