Don’t cry when I die
That’s some title with a forbidden word isn’t? But I promise by the end of this post you would appreciate it better. Swaram and Anu both awarded and tagged me to write 10 honest things about myself. Considering I write every post straight from heart, Please excuse me for writing only 5 points.
1. I have a strange habit of proof reading after publishing my posts. I somehow feel the urge to publish as soon as I have written down my thoughts. I am also particular about extra spaces between paragraphs. Every new post would undergo at least two to three changes after they are published.
2. I am still in touch with my ex. We were friends for a long time and I don’t want to miss my friend especially during the rough tides. My love is totally cool with it. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve such unconditional ever understanding love.
3. I firmly believe Julie never had a bath before. I want to give him one and not sure how he would react. I am just waiting to get more comfortable with him before I carry on the historic event.
5. As much as I am brave and positive enough to leave my well paying job for my dream, I have a teeny tiny fear that I could be wrong about the whole stuff. Never mind, that’s life.
I am choosing not to tag anyone. The following lines reflect my current state of mind. I guess it’s the perfect closing note for this post.
I have taken my chance,
I look back with happy glance,
So, don’t cry when I die.
For I never lived a lie,
I have lived my life
Without regrets
I have let loose controls
Till I reached heavenly gates
A life well used
With lovely mates it’s shared
So don’t cry when I die.
For I never let out a sigh,
I embraced life’s mysterious
One that makes histories
I listened to angels,
Looked for all the signs.
If you miss me and upset
Plant a tree or get a pet
But don’t cry when I die.
Since I did not say good bye
Let the flowers bloom
Let the babies born
Let the trains keep going
Let your life carryon
Let me lay to rest
With a tombstone over my head
If you need one last request
Let it read “A life without regret”

Oh that look! worth a million biscuits and a lifetime pampering
4. I have literally gone numb in the last few weeks. Whether I am running around getting things done for my brother’s marriage or sitting quietly at home it does not affect me much. I am not sure whether I am in denial of my unsure career or I am accepting it just too well.5. As much as I am brave and positive enough to leave my well paying job for my dream, I have a teeny tiny fear that I could be wrong about the whole stuff. Never mind, that’s life.

It's going to one historical day!
your career is in the right direction, because now, you are going to do something you love!
All the best for that :)
Loved the poem!!!
And you know what? I hate proff reading!!! May be that's why my posts are full of errors ;-)
You are indeed one of my favorite writers Sri. I love thee way you write clean heart warming heart felt words that never fail to ring the right cords in my mind.
Your understanding of life and the words you select reflect lot about the strengths your personality reflects.
Am glad to learn about point 2. Wishing for you both life's every happiness.
That was a wonderful piece of poetry to go with this tag.
Good luck with everything. It is in admitting and accepting our fears where our strength lies.
cheers!!
@3..do let us know when Julie gets the bath..
@4 and 5..some things take time to get into a proper desired shape..by the time you have to nourish them and keep yourself up.. :)
Tag 1-Agree. There are always things that could have been made better once published. Sometimes I go back and fix it.
Tag 3-Ha Ha Ha. Be ready for a war and gnarls from Julie. :-) :-)
Tag 5-Everyone is human. Nice flow of thoughts there.
You know what, we have like 3 common things here. And just like you, I proof-read over and over. And I'm very particular about punctuation marks and capitalizations. Something I had in me since grade school ^^;
