Lessons from a Snail

 




  A motivational story

 

The crimson sun was high, and the season of blossom and fruits was just a few days away. In the gardens of nature, there lived a snail. Slowest of them all, but carried a shell of wisdom. As summer was fading and the grand season of spring was arriving in a few days, the snail marked an apple tree; the large apple tree was going to be a challenging climb for the slow creature, but the juicy apples at the top would certainly be worth the hassle.

The snail dragged itself to the bottom of the tree, and diligently started its climb; across the apple tree, stood a tall and dark oak tree. The oak tree was home to a pair of grey owls; the snail had caught their attention. The owls mocked the snail, “look at that slow-poke, barely moving an inch in an hour. The poor fellow has no idea that there are no apples in the tree.” The snail did not mind and kept itself on the track to the top, and the owls went back about minding their business.

As the last light of the day dissolved, the owls set their sight back on the snail. The slow-poke had hardly made any progress; it was just a few inches ahead from where it had started. The pair of birds felt a sense of sadness and sympathy. They decided to fly down to the snail, “ Mr. Snail, there are no fruits at the top of the tree yet, your hard work of climbing up the tree is in vain.” The owls spoke. Without a pause, the snail climbed on and answered, “ Dear Owls, it will take me a long time to reach the top of the tree, and spring is just a few days away. By the time I reach the top, the apples will be there.” The owls understood and left the snail alone on its quest to reach the top.

In life, the very same happens. The road to your goals in far fetched, and not everyone can see your dreams. Avoid the owls in your life and stay disciplined in your path towards reaching your goals.

Cigar between her lips

The cigar between her lips When her fingers with red nails, Places a cigarette between her lips, Why is she shameless and a bitch? When a man smokes, Cigar after cigar,  it's a just a boys thing! Then what stops the same to be a girl's thing? Why do you judge the cigarette between her lips? From the organ between her legs. She breathes the same air, And speaks the same words, And remember, She and he are just  genders. #judge a woman like you judge a man

TEENAGE-SPIRITUALITY

TEENAGE-SPIRITUALITY Would you call me crazy? If I’d say many teenagers or probably most of them are spiritual. No! I’m not talking about enlightenment or teen-yogis, but a very different kind of spirituality. Spirituality isn’t the fanciest among teenagers and the two words of my title Teenage and Spirituality is less found together and more often found away from each other. Typically, for one to find flavor in spirituality he/she must be aged, retired, or have a life-threatening issue with spirituality being the last place of help. This may be the common thought in the air but isn’t always the truth, people of all kinds, all ages, and even problem-free adopt spirituality. Simply because spirituality comes to find you. When the world believes spirituality is connecting to a higher self or finding peace within, the young adults define spirituality in their very own way. Pop music and its funky beats seem to be their mantra of peace. They journey along the groves and rhythm to

Falling in Love with Zara

  “SHIT!” I told myself, after missing the early bus and stranding myself in that godforsaken bus stop. The next bus was miles away, and I had to wait for an hour. No one ever came to the bus stop; it was always me, the gloomy sun, and the dusty bench. A shallow breeze carried some dust into my eye, and I rubbed furiously to fix my vision. Something felt canny that day, fewer cars passed by, the sunlit the sky with a strange shade of orange and the most remarkable thing happened! While I was sitting like an idiot, thrown my legs on top of each other and being a lazy sloth, and my hands scratching my head, I noticed a click-clack sound approaching towards me; I picked my head up to see what it was. Damn! It was Zara; her red heels kissed the concrete road producing the rhyme. Her skinny black jeans revealed her curves, a little baggy around her foot but perfectly stitched around the thighs. Like a fish on bait, my eyes were hooked to her hips, swinging side to side, mimicking a clock’
