What will you do, if someone was watching over you?


The following poem is for a Happy Hour campaign by Indiblogger sponsored by IDBI Federal LifeInsurance.  Bloggers have to pen down 5 things that they would do if they had a life without constraints, if nothing was holding them back. We have to share our hopes, dreams and aspirations if nothing was holding us back. I, for one, would travel, donate, plant more trees, indulge in arts, and Eat!


A life without worries
A life full of dreams
We all love to wander
And blow off some steam.
We love to shed inhibitions
But worries stop us in the way
If it were to us,
Wouldn’t we all just slip and slide away?

If only there was some kind of an ‘insurance’
That would protect us from all the evils
Things like sudden loss
Dangerous diseases or major upheavals.
If someone out there protected us from all this
Fear would get out of the way
We would tick things off from a bucket list
And just slip and slide away.


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, love to Travel too?


I would to travel around the world
From Hawai to Pataya
See the Mummies in Egypt
Walk in Riyadh in an Abaya!
I would dance in Rio
And lay in the sandy beaches of Brazil
Would go to the highest peak in Switzerland
Just to get an awesome feel!


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, love to Donate too?


I feel blessed to have so much
And want to share as much as I can
I always end up giving
A tad less than I plan.
If I had a truck load of money
I would give so much more to the poor
I would work more closely with them
And be a proud well-doer.


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, love to plant trees  too?


I love mother nature
Hate to see her being polluted like this
The lack of forest cover
Is lessoning our bliss.
I would love to plant thousands of trees
Increase the green cover on earth
Then lay on that green grass
And be part of the real mirth.


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, love Creativity too?


Writers have become rare
Painters are becoming obsolete
Movies come and go
Technology is hard to beat.
I would love to immerse myself in the arts
If there was no constraint
Just pen down stories and poems
With a brush in my hand, I’d just paint!


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, love to eat too?


Palak Paneer and Mexican rice
Hakka noodles and Gajar ka halwa
This menu sounds mixed up
But I’ll gulp it down with Chicken Tikka.
But health is wealth, they tell me
So I watch what I eat
If I was #BeFikarUmarbhar
After every meal, I’ll eat a lot of sweet!


What will you do, if someone was watching over you?
Do you like me, wish for this bucket list too?

    You are too giving :P
    I would be greedy and buy myself things, I know I can never get on my own- Beach house, Audi, Curve OLED TV with Cinema Theatre kind of things... Or how about a private cinema! Private ciname hall it is! Then a mansion with swimming pool and bath tub and king size bed... And last but not the least travel the whole wide world- I want every country's stamp on my passport :P And yeah that's about it! Not much, just 5 things :P

    And like everytime, you amazed with a poem :D

    1. See, the city/country where I live, these things are easy to get. A beach house albiet next to a man-made beach, Cinema in your building, facilities that you mentioned - everything. And we, ummm, even have 'the car' ;p
      So now I'm above all that. I need things that will make me happy even 20 years from now.
      And travel is on the top of my list.
