looks versus YOU

I wonder what is that for which a person is appreciated for..his looks, skills, attitude, achievement. and what if a person lacks in any one of these. Likewise, what if a person has some beautiful talents, is good at what he does yet has a lackluster looks? The world is so hypocritical or is it the human thinking to be blamed. The first thing that catches the eye is the outer appearance, the physical beauty. In most of the cases the inner beauty or a beautiful heart never really stand a chance in the battle between looks and the inner beauty. I have always taken pride in whatever little I had, to appreciate whatever skills i was bestowed upon yet most of the times I am being looked down upon for the things I might lack, precisely my looks that may not be as appealing.  The irony of the whole thing is that you were belittled by those whom you feel are the precious ones in your life. But then I always believe in the saying "count thy blessings". May be what seems less to me may be more from someone the perspective of someone else. Who cares what the world thinks about you...It might hurt at times but then you cant quit living..so live it with pride..sometimes an assumed pride <winks>

To the world of my dreamzzzz

Rewind the time
And take me back
To the world that lacks fears.
The azure sky
Rain soaked soil
Air sans the fog
And the view just so clear.

Where the fear of the unknown
Darkness of the past
Vanish in thin air or cease
Where wars do not happen
Ambiance being serene
Spreads the message of peace.

To such a world
With chirping birds
And flowers in their bloom
Where love wins over avarice
And happiness over gloom.

Its such a world
I dream of
I wish it were true
Where hatred loses battle
And breeze of love blew.

Tell that someone

The very many questions
That remain unanswered
The very many problems
That need solutions
The very many doubts
That seem all around
The all many insecurities
Juggling the mind.
Everyone knows it all
Yet finds it better
To be deaf and blind.

Its just so easy
To extend thy hand
A smile or two
Kind words though few.

How much will it take
For a warmth filled hug
To show that someone special
That you do care.
Even while the whole world
Aimlessly moves on
Show that someone
That you are still there...
