Sometimes we don’t have an idea…
and yet somehow we stand
as if the earth itself
whispers, “Hold on.”
The edge trembles,
the ground uncertain,
but still it rests,
silent strength in motion.
When the weight feels heavier than you,
when the next step is hidden,
trust the unseen hands
that keep you steady.
Balance is not perfection,
it’s the quiet courage
to stand, to wait,
and to move forward anyway.

Through Sujay’s lens
Where did your name come from?
Ila is prayer without demand,
a stream that carves through shifting sand.
Her essence, timeless, vast, and free,
a bridge between the “is” and “to be.”
If you had the power to change one law, what would it be and why?
“If ever I could erase a line,
One law would never rise in time
No caste, no creed, no false divide,
Just hearts that beat, side by side.”
She rose above them all,
Above the blues, which weighed her down.
The crimson splendour embraced her with joy, as the branch gently caressed her.
Her efforts were truly worth a beautiful crown.

The rain makes me a little more wanted.
However, my importance cannot be denied as such.
I am like a cool breeze in the midst of the desert.
In the cold dry world , I am a warm loving touch.

I knew IT was there,
all I had to do was open the door.
But my crazy mind grumbled, "Why exactly do you want to struggle more?"
I laughed and moved on because I wanted to ignore my mind.
If you pay attention to everything it says, you will fall far behind.
The door opened and it was right there smiling warmly at me.
"You are the winner," it said, "and I am the OPPORTUNITY."

The greens often lead me to dense woods,
To the wilds, that are impenetrable and chaotic.
Amongst the trees that appear haphazard to me,
Amongst the clouds that nearly look hypnotic
Today as I wandered once again in the morning
I witnessed an army going up a tree.
I questioned them inquisitively “Why can’t you be scattered?
Why are you disciplined even when absolutely free?”
“We don’t like to mess up this beautiful trunk”, they said.
It gives us support, nutrition and strength that we need.
Unlike humans who clutter the earth with utmost disrespect.
And tend to forget that she is not just the foundation but also the one who feeds.

It was pouring so I came back home,
To chat with and be next to mom.
She has always been there with a smile on her lovely face.
And I couldn’t help but sleep in her cozy embrace.
“Why can’t life always be so simple”, I asked her the next day.
“It is.” She replied with a smile. “We just complicate it in our own way.”
If you remain a child forever at heart, you will realise.
You don’t need to grow up to be happy and wise.
For its a kid who laughs n cries the most when needed.
It’s a kid who doesn’t think of tomorrow or what if life ceases.
It’s a kid who makes no conclusions just flows like a gentle breeze.
So just be a kid always, so that life’s best you can seize.

Amalgamating with the environment and situations that happened to happen,
Tides of time propelled me up and down,
Ceaselessly the winds have caressed me throughout the voyage,,
Never did I ever feel adrift; in fact I have been a queen, always held my crown.
Yes, at times I have been surrounded by crowds, known or unknown,
When the waves were rough, I was abandoned too,
But moments of despair never existed,I must say,
IF YOU ARE IN QUEST OF LIFE, YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN AND YOU ARE THE CREW.
Fear of losing has never dispirited me,
Never have I ever lost the same battle again,
I choose to learn each time I stumble,
I guess no rainbows appear in the absence of rain.
Excuses, explanations and regrets, have never been a part of my itinerary,
Else the ride becomes arduous and upstream as one moves on,
Walking through the circumstances has enriched me manyfold,
It’s my life, so with my choices I love to adorn. !!.
