Have you found that someone? :)





If there's a mail in your inbox,
If there's someone who remembered to send you a good morning message,
If an acquaintance you walked past remembered to smile at you,
If there's someone to ask you how you are or if you ate,
If there's someone who could lend one's ears when you say you want to share something with them,
If a heart is capable of wiping away your pain and making you feel better,
If someone guided you along the right direction when you were about to take the wrong one,
If someone just held you seconds before you were to fall into a pit, both in the literal sense and metaphorically
If someone values even your slightest smile their source of happiness,
If there's someone who can see the truth behind your despondent smiles,
If there's someone who could treat your small achievements big and encourage you,
If there's someone whom you could always count on, no matter how busy they are or how stressful a day they had,
If there's someone who could spare their time to accompany you,
If there's someone who helps you with a sum in an emergency, without asking a single question,
If there's someone who sees happiness in yours and celebrates,
If there's someone who is moved to tears on seeing your pain,
If there's someone who saved your life or someone who fed a meal,
If there's someone who wished or prayed for your success
If there's someone who pronounced an auspicious word for you,
If there's someone whose music, lyric or voice has lifted you up from taking extreme decisions in life or has reduced the hatred you had towards it,
If someone gave you a sweet surprise and brought tears in your eyes every time you thought of it,
If there's someone who holds on to you despite you treating them wrong,
If there's someone who silently bears all the tantrums you throw at them, without even revealing their feelings thinking it might leave you upset,
If there's someone in whom you can confide without hesitation, to whom you can confess without shyness,
If there's someone who melted your heart with their kindness,
If there's someone who taught you a value for lifetime,
If someone came to your mind while reading this and if you have realized you have/had atleast one of the above, remember, you are living this life for a reason. That each someone is a God-sent blessing. And if it's a single someone that has given you most of the above (except parents, siblings, relatives, friends and celebrity), you have found your life :)

Girl



She gives up her joy for others.
She is forced to find her happiness in others’.
She is asked to decide, but not given a choice.
She is considered by many, a liability, while the rest of the world covets her as an asset.
She is called incapable, unintelligent and always a burden on the shoulder.
Her smile is what everyone sees, and she is assumed to be a slaphappy.
But behind each of that smile lies a repository of responsibilities, a buried bunch of sadness that she unpacks and cries over every night.
Her sense of indebtedness to her parents, only she knows.
She gives, gives up, gives in and gives away.
She is always the one to forgive first, forget at once, knowing though there’s nothing that is actually for her.
Her family’s problem has always been her problem,
But hers have mostly gone unheard, unnoticed.
She is expected to befriend her in-laws who disdain her as an alien threat
And to get used to them quicker than she got used to her new academia.
Household chores are something she loves to do,
To cook for her family and get some appreciation for that is all that she expects.
To talk for her rights is breach of doctrine,
And to at least remain silent is her show of arrogance, well the world calls it so.
She knows what’s right, she foresees and mostly overlooks her likings.
Her heart is used only to beat, keep her alive and to cry, but she beats it down most of the times to make her intellect rule the show.
Her gender is synonymous to being accommodative, that’s how it has been rooted in everyone’s mind.
She lives every part of life for those around her, like the waning wax of a candle,
Despite this, all her worth is known only upon her death.
But thank you world, you only keep elevating her glory with every suppression that you cast at her.
You only increase her reverence with every deplorable act of yours.
Because she knows the magic of turning muddy dust into a golden one.
The naturally beautiful yet made up face hides all the worries,
 Her life isn’t a paradise, not even an oasis, but just a mirage.
She wipes away the pain along with her tears.
And every time she does that she is reborn like a phoenix.
