 Your Life Is Better Than Many

Take a moment. Breathe.
Look around.

You may not have everything you want...
But you have more than you think.

☑ A safe place to sleep
☑ Clean water to drink
☑ Food on your table
☑ A mind to dream
☑ A heart that still hopes

Millions pray for what you already have.
Your everyday is someone else's miracle.

Be grateful. Be grounded. Keep going.
Your life is better than many — and that’s something to be proud of.

Taking charge of your life - AKSHR

 

 Taking charge of your life is not about having control over everything—it is about owning your choices, believing in your potential, and committing to personal growth. It is a lifelong process of becoming the best version of yourself, not for anyone else, but for your own fulfillment and freedom. When you take charge of your life, you don’t just survive—you thrive.

Unleash your mental powers -- AKSHR

To unleash your mental powers is to commit to lifelong learning, intentional living, and self-belief. The mind is not a cage, but a key—one that can open the doors to creativity, success, and transformation. By nurturing your mind through positive habits, focused attention, and a belief in growth, you can unlock the vast potential that lies within you. The journey begins not with extraordinary talent, but with the decision to try.

️ "The Marathon of Steel and Code" ---AKSHR

 

️ "The Marathon of Steel and Code"

In dawn’s soft glow, beneath Tokyo's sky,
A strange new race went thundering by.
No hearts that beat, no lungs to strain—
Just gears and circuits in rhythmic chain.

They lined the track, both tall and lean,
With polished limbs and laser sheen.
No flesh nor bone, yet poised with grace,
Humanoids stood to run the race.

With blinking eyes and metal knees,
They mimicked stride with practiced ease.
Each step a dance of code and wire,
Propelled by volts and silent fire.

Crowds gathered round, both young and old,
To watch the future swift unfold.
No cries, no cheers from lips they own,
Yet still, their courage brightly shone.

Atlas sprang like myth reborn,
NeoStride surged in circuits worn.
From India’s labs came Yatra’s pride,
With humble parts, but heart implied.

Some fell, then rose with motors groaning,
While others paused with systems moaning.
But none gave up, their code refined—
With AI thought, and will designed.

The finish line, a beacon bright,
Called every bot into the light.
And when the last crossed, slow but sure,
The crowd erupted, hearts made pure.

For this was more than race or run,
It marked what humankind had done:
To shape in steel what dreams foretold,
A runner built, both brave and bold.

So let them stride through years ahead,
Where circuits pulse and fear is shed.
For though they race on artificial feet—
They carry hope in every beat.

May Day Song ---- AKSHR

 

May Day Song

On the first of May when blossoms wake,
The earth in bloom, the skies opaque,
A ribboned pole, a wreath of cheer—
The dance of spring draws near, draws near.

From Beltane fires to garlands spread,
With songs for sun and seeds we tread.
Bare feet upon the greening ground,
Where joy and labor’s dreams are bound.

We sing not just of petaled days,
But voices bold in worker’s praise—
For hands that build, for rights once won,
For justice rising with the sun.

In every land, beneath each sky,
From village green to banners high,
We mark the day with hearts made bright—
For blooming life and equal right.

So dance, and march, and raise your voice,
In nature’s joy and people’s choice.
For May Day’s spirit ever stays:
A blend of hope, of rights, of praise.

May Day Celebrations: A Global Tradition --- AKSHR

May Day Celebrations: A Global Tradition

May Day, celebrated on May 1st, is a vibrant blend of ancient spring festivals and modern labor movements. Originally rooted in pagan traditions like Beltane and Walpurgis Night, May Day welcomed the return of warmth and fertility with bonfires, flower dances, and the iconic Maypole.

In the late 19th century, May Day gained a new meaning as International Workers' Day, honoring the fight for workers' rights after events like the Haymarket Affair in Chicago. Today, many countries mark it with parades, protests, and calls for social justice.

Traditions vary worldwide: in the UK, people crown a May Queen and dance around Maypoles; in Germany, bonfires and "Dance into May" parties are common; in the U.S., some celebrate with rallies, while Hawaii observes Lei Day.

May Day continues to celebrate both nature’s renewal and the ongoing pursuit of fairness and solidarity in society.

The First Brush Was the Heart --- AKSHR

 

The First Brush Was the Heart

Before the brush, before the ink,
Before the sculptor paused to think—
There lived a tremble in the chest,
A silent ache, a soul unrest.

No masterpiece began in lines,
Or measured forms, or perfect signs.
It started where the shadows play—
Where feeling swells, then finds its way.

A tear that fell, a breath held tight,
The hush before a storm takes flight.
That spark unseen, that fragile start—
It is the soul, it is the heart.

What use are strokes without a cry?
What worth has art that does not sigh?
A canvas cold, though sharp and clean,
Lacks truth if it has never been.

For art is born of joy or pain,
Of memories that still remain.
Of laughter echoing through time,
Of loss that ink could not define.

So let the colors bleed and burn,
Let marble crack, let rhythms turn.
Let every work expose its fire—
Not crafted just to please, but inspire.

For when the heart begins to speak,
Through trembling hand or artist’s streak—
Then beauty finds its truest part:
A work of love.
A work of heart.

AKSHR

The Mind Holds the Brush--- AKSHR

 

The Mind Holds the Brush

He stands before the canvas, still—
No motion yet, no vibrant spill.
The colors sleep, the brushes rest,
But storms are swirling in his chest.

For art is born beyond the skin,
It grows where thought and dreams begin.
No trembling hand, no perfect line,
Can match the fire of the mind.

The hand obeys what thought commands,
But genius blooms in silent lands.
A flick of wrist means nothing true,
Unless the soul is painting too.

A stroke of blue is not just hue,
But skies he’s seen and traveled through.
A crimson slash—no idle smear,
But echoes of a hidden fear.

He does not paint what eyes can see,
But rather, what the soul might be.
Not muscle, bone, or practiced stance,
But memory, meaning, myth, and chance.

So judge not art by flawless frame,
Or steady hand, or worldly fame.
The canvas speaks, if you dare look—
It tells the tale the mind once took.

For brushes wait and colors fade,
But what the dreaming mind has made—
Lives on, beyond all human span…
For thought, not hand, defines the man.

“Corruption is paid by the poor” — Pope Francis. ---- AKSHR

 

Corruption is not a victimless crime. It is paid for by the poor—in lost services, lost opportunities, and lives put at risk. Ending corruption is not just about cleaning up politics; it's about justice, fairness, and giving every person a chance to live with dignity. When corruption is rooted out, the greatest benefit goes to those who need it most.

“None of the main issues which humanity ” — Christophe Deloire --- AKSHR

 

“None of the main issues which humanity is facing will be resolved without access to information” — Christophe Deloire

Access to information is the foundation upon which solutions are built. Without it, we cannot solve the most pressing issues of our time. It fuels awareness, inspires action, and holds power accountable. If we want to fix what’s broken in the world, we must begin by ensuring that everyone, everywhere, has the right to know.

Because when people are informed, they are empowered—and empowered people can change the world.

Corruption is a cancer --- Joe Biden, former president of the United States.---- AKSHR

 

Corruption is a cancer—silent, dangerous, and deadly if ignored. But with courage, commitment, and collective action, it can be stopped. Just as medicine has made breakthroughs in treating physical cancer, society can find ways to fight corruption and restore health to our institutions.

The battle is tough, but the fight is worth it—because a future without corruption is a future full of justice, fairness, and hope.

A Mirror of Humanity ---- AKSHR

 

 A Mirror of Humanity

Whether you see religion as divine truth or human creation, its role is undeniable. It has shaped how we love, how we grieve, how we live together, and how we imagine what lies beyond.

Religion is a mirror: it reflects the best and worst in us—our longing for justice, our fear of death, our hunger for the sacred. To understand religion is to understand ourselves.

The role of religion, then, is not fixed. It evolves with us. And whether embraced or questioned, it remains part of the great conversation about what it means to be human.

A Humane Metric for Progress ---- AKSHR

A Humane Metric for Progress

“Civilization is the management of pain” is not a cynical view—it’s a deeply human one. It acknowledges suffering as part of life and recognizes our greatest achievements not in avoiding it altogether, but in building structures that help us endure it, learn from it, and sometimes even transcend it.

Progress, then, should not be measured by wealth or power alone, but by how well we care for the wounded, listen to the unheard, and ease the burdens of those too often forgotten.

In that light, the most civilized among us may not be those who feel the least pain—but those who strive the most to ease it in others.

Betrayal: The Wound That Cuts Deep ----- AKSHR

 

Betrayal: The Wound That Cuts Deep

Betrayal is one of the deepest emotional wounds a person can experience. Unlike physical pain, which fades with time, betrayal lingers in the soul. It doesn’t just break trust—it breaks something inside us. What makes betrayal so painful isn’t just the act itself, but who committed it. Strangers cannot betray us—only those we trust can.

Betrayal breaks us, yes—but it also gives us a choice: to stay broken, or to rise stronger.

·         Technology Detox – Reduce unnecessary noise by taking breaks from social media and digital devices.

Silence is far more than an empty void; it is a sanctuary where wisdom flourishes. Like sleep nourishes the body, silence nourishes the mind, enabling reflection, clarity, and strength. In embracing moments of quiet, we cultivate a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. In a society that often values noise and constant activity, choosing silence can be a radical and transformative act—one that leads us toward true wisdom.

"Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays." — Soren Kierkegaard --- AKSHR

 

"Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays." — Soren Kierkegaard

 

A whispered plea, a fervent sigh,

A soul's embrace beneath the sky.

No mountain shifts, no star takes flight,

But in the heart, a wondrous light.

 

For prayer, it's not a sculptor's hand,

To mold the heavens, understand.

It shapes the soul, it stills the storm,

And whispers peace, a gentle form.

 

The deity remains serene,

Unmoved by supplication keen.

But in the soul, a change takes hold,

A story woven, brave and bold.

 

The heart, once fractured, finds its mend,

With faith's soft touch, a whispered trend.

The spirit soars, the spirit grows,

As prayer's sweet balm the sorrow flows.

 

No power shifts, no throne is swayed,

But hope's soft ember, brightly played.

The supplicant, transformed by grace,

Finds strength within, a tranquil space.

 

So pray, dear soul, with heart so true,

For in the act, a change anew.

Not God's vast form, but yours, is changed,

By love's soft touch, a peace exchanged.
