Alone When I came I was Alone In this life I am Alone Is what I want To be Empty Is what I feel I am Hollow From inside I feel World Doesn't care A damn Selfish Will I have To be? No I realize that I am wrong Alone I am not and Never was Death Has been my Oldest friend Born Along with me it was Together We will face The end

To slam dunk, in basketball, you have to jump high and be tall. Jump to the basket in a mighty leap And slam the ball in it deep You don't have to aim at all. jump up high and slam dunk the ball. To slam dunk garbage in a garbage bin. Just walk up and slam it in. You don't need to be Michael Jordan, to slam dunk in a dust bin. Playing basketball with garbage and bin, is no excuse to not throw it in. Why aim and throw anyway, When you can slam dunk and save the day? This poem was in response to a commenter on a quora answer

I will tell you guys something, Something that happened a few days ago, while walking in the evening, I felt gloomy, my mood really low. The world looked weird, The colors all wrong There was a deafening silence in my ears And I wasn't singing any song Nor was I playing my flute or harp The world had never looked so dark Then out of nowhere came my salvation A little cat asking for affection. I meow at cats, I know it is weird But they have never meowed back This one came, begging to be petted Who was I to not oblige it? The little tabby stayed with me, Bumping its head, arching its back Going around in circles around my feet Putting its paws in my lap Then as soon as I felt better, the world looking bright and cheery The cat got up and walked away leaving me feeling really merry this incident was dated : 4th May 2017
