NASA Pale Blue Dot [Earth] as seen by Voyager 1 before it drifted away into the space and we lost contact.
Sagan described the photo in his aptly named book “Pale Blue Dot“:
Look again at that dot. That’s here. That’s home. That’s us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilisation, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every “superstar,” every “supreme leader,” every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there–on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

THE DECISION DAY
I kept looking at the clock for more than an hour now. "You did what you could and now just shut up and wait for whatever is the outcome." My father told me this for a 100 times that day in a caring yet aggressive manner.My mother as always was in a confused state of mind ,which surely looked funny. Even though nothing seemed funny at that moment. Everybody had huge expectations from me.But all that was going on in my mind was do I deserve these expectations? Is it a gift or a curse that people think I can? I was engrossed in these thoughts and suddenly a notification flashed on my phone, "check your CBSE board exam result" and I called my parents inside with a trembling voice. I started to fill my details on the website while all the memories of the last three months kept popping in my mind.I learnt so many things in the last three months but the most important thing that I learned was there is absolutely nothing more important than one's self. I just feared to lose confidence in this fact.As soon as I filled my details it took the longest three seconds of my lifetime for the result to come."Beta! you did it!" I heard this and tried to open my eyes to see the result and boom! I really did more than i thought i could. I screamed, danced,jumped and what not.But the best gift I found that day was the two parts of my world , Maa and papa's proud smile.

GENDER IS NO THING💛
You aen't a girl if you are not man enough
cause a girl is a gender, not an abuse dear offender.
This society needs a reality check,
even females themselves say the same heck.
He says fuck, yeah he's on his nerves!
She says screw, ah ah #checkyourwords.
so many things a guy does,
done by a girl, looks abrupt.
Patriarchy over the years has
mad our analogy corrupt.
So while saying 'society' who is being addressed?
It is all of us disgusively dressed.
So here a little piece of mind
The battles we fight are a lot more wide,
Think you were here you couldn't have tried!

You want me to write it down? Alright.
I'll write, I'll confess my words. But the words to tell the truth are yet to be born.
You want my truth? You tell me, you're the one who have been watching me.
Smiling, but not for me.
You're only blind for me, that's why you need me.
I can line the words, eloquent and sealed. But they'll still be bleary to you.
I can pour my ink and watch you burn my thoughts.
I can and I will.
But if you read what I tell, would you let out my birds?

AN EMPTY JAR OF HOPE
yesterday I stood there
in the same dreary place
clinging to my empty jar of hope
waiting for rain
in the middle of a cold winter night
to water my withering soul
my ears are cold
my fingers are shivering
as if the jar is heavy
but it was empty
perhaps the cold air
inside my empty jar of hope
deceived my fingers
I know is sound crazy, but I am just a man
clinging to the hope of a better tomorrow
