Power is not determined by heights but by humbleness by Arabian Oud {R}


End of the day when you lose a battle in any form, any path of your life, professionally or personally it is your humbleness and your down to earth behavior that matters.. Power, fame and materialism are only momentarily things, which do not determine the true person, these are like a cloak we wear but what emerges out is the real us with situations, experiences, circumstances, Every leader has to leave at the end of his leadership, thus people remember him in his generous acts and how good he has behaved with his people. How just has he been and so on..
Before I started working in the media, I was fascinated by celebrities, famous people and all those people we rate as 'stars', but as I entered this field, I had a closer look and realised how they were normal people like us, who were popular with the hype we gave them, with the importance we gave to their work.. How it was artificial and only a few of them were geniune people.. how that coming closer to them made me see their blemishes of their arrogance and how I was no longer fascinated by these famous people, nor was I interested in even knowing them as others would. I would do my work and carry on doing something more useful and more productive, something undisclosed here..I know some people would die to be in my place, but believe me, it's not worth dying.... I chose anonymity in my writing, because I am not part of the fame batch.

Just because you have fame in your hands and something so outrageous doesn't mean you have the right to be proud to show off. You can be proud of yourself for achieving your goals but not for telling others they are losers. To every person is their chosen and limited capacity and talents gifted by God.

Remember, the one thing that leaves a foot mark in the hearts of people is the sweetness of your character and behavior not your fame or money. Fame is coined by the masses who make you feel popular, and one day when someone else replaces you, you are history, you come out of that creative world and see who was with you and who wasn't. Who wanted you for what you are and who wanted you for an ulterior motive. You are wise to choose.

MISUNDERSTOOD- by Arabian Oud {R}

MISUND ERSTOOD At first they you pretend you care, But in reality you were ignorant, You offered help by lipservice, Nothing practical at all, Everytime I was depressed, You thought it was plain drama, Kept saying 'grow up girl', Changes were noticed slowly, The one day you went away, Here I was seeking love and support, Even my friends abandoned me, Everytime they met,it was about them, I pondered on what I had achieved, But there was no answer at all, They don't understand my problems, They never asked, expecting my life go-lucky, Here I am, Sitting on the bed, surrounded by dark walls, Tears keep flowing down nonstop, Wished there was someone by my side, Wiping them away, hearing my pain out, They call me names and think I am bad, They simply don't know my story, Love they say, is a medicine, But I seest that not, it only gives pain, They all called me immature and left, My heart was broken, the music stopped playing, Violins of my heart cried out so bad, Wished, the...

The heart an empty vessel by Arabian Oud {R}

The heart an empty vessel The heart is now an empty vessel, A single sound of screech laments, My soul is in an endless sorrow, My inspiration and my glimmer of hope, All washed away by the sea shore, All my hopes dashed into tiny pieces, There is darkness within the heart, Memories reside within of him, He was my inspiration and soul mate, But its always the same story, False promises, abandonment and loneliness, He said 'he was different', I believed him, Less did I know, That my fate was cursed till Doomsday, No mantra can undo my blackened luck, Love, you play games with me, Disguised in different faces, You cheat me, I wound I surrender to my defeat and darkness My heart is an empty vessel, A cursed organ..

Whenever you are with me... by Arabian Oud {R}

Whenever you are with me, No matter how hard life gets, I always have you to make me feel loved, You whisper in my ears, Words of encouragement, Everytime I fall, Your love holds me back, Look at this home, We built with so much love and hard work, Where did you disappear one day? And leave me all alone in a place we called 'home' You left me in an endless darkness, With no hope, with tears, with regrets, Was our love so weak? That it couldn't stand the storm? That it couldn't stand these hard tests? Was our love so fake? That instead of holding each other, We run away from each other, And act as if we no longer care, And act as if we are deaf to each other's voice, Act as if we can live without each other, Whenever you are with me, In my thoughts, my loneliness disappears, You are my other half, that completes me, Come back and complete our story, Make this house a home again, Fill it with life and happiness, The love our souls dream for, The love we prayed for.. N...
