Usha 3d
Do you know me?
Noโ€ฆ you donโ€™t.
And I will keep working,
I will keep creating,
until the day comes
when I need not speak my name,
for my work will already tell you
who I am.

I want my words
to be my recognition.
I want my deeds
to be my introduction.
Not through your approval,
not through your denialโ€”
but through the dignity
I carve for myself.

This is my challenge.
This is my vow.
Whether you accept it or not,
I have already accepted it.
Until my name stands tall
beside my identity,
I will not stop,
I will not rest.
This poem is a bold declaration of self-identity.
It speaks of the desire to be known not by introductions or explanations,
but by the power of oneโ€™s work and actions.
It is both a challenge and a vowโ€”
to keep striving until recognition comes naturally,
and dignity itself becomes the true identity.
Usha 4d
By Usha Maniar

Many times my mind tells me,
โ€œDelete your number,
erase your name from my phone.โ€

But my heartโ€ฆ
it never agrees.
It clings to every memory,
to every hope,
and whispersโ€”
โ€œSome bonds canโ€™t be deleted,
they live beyond logic,
inside the soul.โ€
๐Ÿ”น Summary

This poem reflects the conflict between the heart and the mind.
The mind says, โ€œErase the number, let go.โ€
But the heart refuses, bound by memory and longing.
It shows that moving on is never about deleting contactsโ€”
it is about healing the soul, which takes time and love.

There is one undeniable truth of life โ€” death.
One day, every heartbeat will fall silent,
and all that we built, dreamed, or feared will fade into stillness.

But there is another truth, far greater, far deeper:
If you live with kindness,
if you lift others when they fall,
if you share inspiration that lights their path โ€”
then you never truly die.

Your body may rest,
but your spirit continues in every smile you created,
in every life you touched,
in every heart you awakened.

This is the only immortality that matters โ€”
to live beyond death,
not in monuments of stone,
but in the gentle echoes of love, compassion, and hope
you leave behind.
"Death is the truth of life,
but kindness is the truth beyond death.
He who inspires and uplifts,
never truly dies."
โ€” Usha Maniar
Usha 4d
At times, the clouds
try to hide the moon.
But they forgetโ€”
its light
can never be concealed.

Truth and radiance
always find a way,
no matter how deep
the darkness may be.

"Waiting to live tomorrow is the greatest folly โ€” live wisely with what you have today; needless worry about the future is pointless."
                   ๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’ž

                  To postpone life for some imagined tomorrow
is the truest kind of foolishness.
Hold today with mindful hands โ€”
worrying for a future yet unseen steals your present.
"Live today โ€” tomorrow is not promised."
Usha 5d
Speak to the universe each passing hour,
offer thanks for every gift it sends.
Believe this truth with all your heartโ€”
the universe will never let you fall.

โ€œThank the universe โ€” and it will never let you fail.โ€

The more deeply you learn to understand others,
the sooner you awaken to the truth within yourself.

Summary:
Empathy is not just a gift we offer to the world. It reflects back, teaching us who we truly are.
Usha 5d
When the soul begins to leave the body,
It might whisper with a gentle lamentโ€”
Why did I not live the life I longed for,
Why did I let โ€˜no timeโ€™ be my constant excuse?We often postpone our dreams with hollow reasons,
Blind to the truth that time slips quietly away.
The final moment teaches the ultimate lessonโ€”
Life isnโ€™t measured in years, but in moments truly lived.So cherish today, embrace your true desires,
Donโ€™t wait for โ€˜one dayโ€™ to chase your dreams.
For when the last breath draws near and soul takes flight,
Itโ€™s the life you lived with passion that shines bright.
Usha 5d
Life flows quietly,
yet every breath carries a name.
I sit by the window,
watching the path unfold,
hoping it leads back to me.

Waiting is both hope and fearโ€”
a fragile prayer in silence.
For what if the door closes,
and the one I long for
turns away forever,
leaving only echoes in my heart?

โ€” โœ๏ธ Usha Maniar
Summary:
This poem speaks of the universal human experience of waitingโ€”between hope and fear, longing and silence. It reminds us that every heart carries its own door of waiting, sometimes opening to joy, sometimes closing to loss.

In the office, we all worked side by side,
yet five of my teammates were closest to me.
The difference?
I had a degree, they did not.

Still, they worked harder,
often better than meโ€”
but blinded by pride,
I looked down on them.
I forgotโ€”
the salary was never mine to give,
it came from the company,
and I had no right to hurt them.

Time moved onโ€ฆ
Three of them studied at night
while working by day.
One day, they rose higher than me,
becoming my seniors.
It hurt my ego.

Then came an eveningโ€”
they invited me to dinner.
Everything was arranged with care:
my favorite food, my favorite colors.
I thought it was to mock me.

But they spoke with respect,
with gratitude in their eyes.
They said,
โ€œSir, your strictness pushed us forward.
You made us realize the value of education.
You were our inspiration.โ€

Tears filled my eyes.
That night, I understoodโ€”
greatness lies not in degrees,
nor in positionsโ€”
but in treating everyone with dignity.

A kind word,
a little encouragement,
can change a life.

Never belittle anyoneโ€”
fate gives each of us
what is written for us.

We are, after all,
just colleagues,
walking the same road,
learning from one another.

Respect is the true degree we all must earn.
