The True Value is Within

-

Within us lies the spark of use,
Not who we are, but what we choose.
A quiet power, unseen, untold,
In hearts and minds, a strength unfolds.

Like a TV glowing in the night,
It’s the work within that gives it light.
Without the signal, just a shell,
A box of wires, nothing to tell.

We, like it, are vessels too,
Holding purpose, through and through.
It's not the face or name we wear,
But the value, the work, the love we share.

For what we do, what we create,
Is the heartbeat that we elevate.
So let us remember, it’s not the show,
But the inner force that makes it glow.


Description: The poem reflects on the idea that what truly matters in us is not who we are, but what we do and how we contribute to the world—above all, what we carry inside: our actions, thoughts, and purpose. It draws a comparison to a TV, which is only useful when it’s working; without its purpose, it's just an empty box. Similarly, our value comes from the actions, choices, and energy we put into the world, not from our external identity or appearance. Our true worth comes from within—our inner strength, creativity, and love and that’s what makes us shine, making life meaningful and impactful. In essence -  "What matters is what is within us, not who we are. A TV is useful only when it is working; otherwise, it is just an empty box. Therefore, focus on increasing your inner value."

Happiness is Like a Guest - A Simple Thought Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s Athithi

-

Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

-

  Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...

The Few Who Understand

-
Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.
