Whispers of unrequited love

Image
In the garden of dreams, a bloom unclaimed, A story untold, a heart softly named. Her presence, a melody, in the heart's quiet song, Yet love's path diverged, and I walked alone. Eyes like constellations, a universe untamed, A soul like a fire, forever unnamed. In secret glances, our worlds intertwined, Yet destiny whispered, and love was confined. Her laughter, a symphony, in the chambers of air, A fragrance of roses, delicate and rare. But fate's hand was gentle, in its gentle reprise, Two ships passing by, under separate skies. Yet still, in the echoes, her memory remains, A spark that ignites, a bittersweet pain. For love's not defined by the paths we don't take, But the beauty it brings, in each heartbeat's ache. - 28th June 2023 Thank you for reading, From, Hetansh Shah

I have lived with a fantasy ...

I have lived with a fantasy You were my fairy tale. Half a love story remains With love that has gone stale. Angels told me you weren't worth it And maybe that fact is true.

So many things I know of you  And so much I have yet to learn.  Let me have some moments   So I can tell my heart it's true.  That you were not my imagination  That grew out of the blue. I'll treasure the tale on the pages And all the feelings left unsaid. With all the truths I hid from you  And all the lies I told instead. The lies that said I'm over you The lies that said I love you no more. When here I ...

Leadership is a skill, not a reward ...

We often declare the best player in a sports side as the captain. Be it cricket, football or any team sports. We feel that good performance should be rewarded with leadership as leadership is prestigious. And why should we not, they have tremendous experience about the field they are in to excel it to such extent. But the skills you need to be the best player are different from the skills that you need to be a leader. When you are the best player, the game comes a certain way to you, you find gaps (cricket)  where other people don't see them. You know, they say talent is about hitting the goal that no one else can hit, but genius is about hitting the goals that no one else can see. And so very often when you've got the best player as a leader, the player tends to weigh everybody else in the scales  that he weighs himself or herself in. And as a result, most people tend to fall short.  The other thing with leadership also is, can you understand the people working for you? ...
