suni si raahon par akele chale ja rahe the

raahein beshak suni thi

hum beshak akele the

par ek tumhari yaad thi jo hamesha mere saath thi

ek tumhare pyaar ka ehsaas tha jo kabhi tanha na chodta tha

par aaj...

ye raahein sach mein suni hai

ye dil vakai akela hai.....

na wo ehsaas hai

na wo pyaar hai....

kuch kam hai...

hai ichaein bhi aaj par phir bhi chahat kam hai

khwaab to hai par unko pura karne waali nazar kam hai

roshni zindgi mein behad hai par aaj shayad andhera kam hai

hai gam ki shaam par gam bhi kam hai....

dil hai udaas bahut, magar aaj udaasi kam hai...

khush hun main par khushi bhi kam hai....

Kehna kaafi kuch tha lekin aaj lafz bhi kam hai.....

Layers....

Our life is like a Pudding...

layer after layer we add and give height to this pudding of various flavours...

And most importantly every layer adds to its taste!!

A little sweet... a li'l sour..

A little cold...a li'l warm

sometimes creamy sometimes soft....

and somewhere beneath all these layers is that base on which these layers were added...

A base which is...

... strong enough to handle all these layers..

...humble enough to support the layers but not come in the forefront...

This base is us....ALL OF US

We have a face ....THE REAL FACE....which is very innocent and naive...

But all these sweet and sour layers of experiences has made that face hide beneath them!!!!

Waqt mein lamhon ka ehsaas hua hai

abhi zindgi mein koi fir se khaas hua hai

jee rahe the hum tanha

par zindgi na kategi tanha, aisa vishvas hua hai....

raaston ke guzarn ka farmaan aaya hai

shayad manzilon ke karib aane ka gumar chhaya hai

mukammal jahan nai milta kisiko

par is kahavat ko galat sabit karne mein mazaa aaya hai...

kisi ke ishq mein duba yeh dil hua hai

uske bina pal na kate, aisa lagne laga hai

kehte hai pyaar log jise

aaj shayad usi ka ehsaas hua hai...

We were there!!!!

We were there...

.... When Sun freed itself from the darkness

We were there...

....When rain began to pour

We were there...

....under those stars, sittin ON the car

We were there...

....when we talked about our first crush

We were there...

....when we first fell in love

We were there...

....when our heart broke for the first time

We were there...

....when we had no valentine

We were there...

....when we again fell in love

We were there...

....when we started to part, searching for better of life

And We Will be there...

....When we sit down to write many more ""We were there""!!!

Kaash

kaash woh lamhein is tarah thehar jaate

uski aankh se ansoo aane se pehle hi ruk jaate

usko vida karte, isse pehle hi lamhein tham jaate

fir...

na wo judaai ka dard hota

na uski aankh nam hoti

na wo hamari aankh se ojhal hota

...............

Bass zindgi mein kaash ye kaash na hota

to shayad koi armaan adhoora na rehta.....!!!!

suna tha dil tootta hai to awaaz nai hoti

aankhen samajhti hai dil ki guhaar,

aur kar deti hai ansoo ki bauchaar

labo pe fir na koi lafz aate hai

na hi dimag mein koi khayal

bass chalti hai to aankho ke aage ek chhavi...

chaavi...un palo ki

jo saath beete...

aur jo saath beet sakte the.....

Emptiness.....

As i walk along myself, in the long empty corridors...

I reflect upon the emptiness of the life

As i celebrate the next moment i am able to survive...

I sadly look back on the previous moment lost in life

As i feel proud to have won the respect of people....

I feel ashamed to have lost love of some people

As i try to fill the world of other people with happiness...

I sink into the emptiness of my own world

dooriyon mein agar hausla hota,

to nazdeekiyon mein ajeeb hi ghumar cha jaata

ek jhalak pe dil jhoom uthta..

fir bass woh sanson ki zubaan bolti..

ek chota sa ehsaas khushi se jhuma deta..

aur lafzoon ki gehraai ruh ko chu jaati...!!!

agar unse mile na hote to shayad zindgi asaan hoti

na palke band karne par ansso tapakte,

aur na ankhein kholne par unke didar ko dil tadapta..

Na sadak par karne ke waqt ek haath chahiye hota,

aur na dua mein sirf ek hi naam nikalta..

Na hum sirf usi ki khushi mein muskurate,

aur na unke naraaz hone par dukhi hote..

Na unke na hone pe, khud ko tanha paate,

aur na unki ek jhalak par khushi se jhoom jaate..

Na baarish ke baad mitti ki khushboo mein unka ehsaas paate,

aur na bhari dhoop mein unki baahon ki thandi chaaon ko yaad karte..

Na chaand se unka haal-chaal puchte,

aur na suraj ko unko chaaon dene ki guzaarish karte..

Na ye dua karte ki unki zindgi kabhi bhi gamgeen na ho,

aur na ye kehte ki agar kabhi gam aaye to kamsekam unki zindgi hamare pyaar mein leen ho!!!!

Everyday life treats you with a lesson....

lesson of love...

lesson of faith...

lesson of trust....

lesson of success....

actually it just trying to teach you a lesson of life....A LIFE that is full of swings that give you adrenaline rush enough to make you feel, that you'll not come out of it alive....but yet again we do....again & again & again...

very rightly said by someone.....SUCH IS LIFE!!!!!

shadows!!!!!!

sometimes its weird that we understand the shadows....

and not only understand, we start enjoying and talking with the shadows...

How they walk...how they talk....how they whisper into each other ears....

Tall shadows...small shadows...long shadows...short shadows....

all sort of shadows......so many shadows but yet a similar story....

Its interesting......to undrstand...i think its better to understand them than understanding people......atleast in terms of consistency!!!!!

BANGGGGGG!!!!!!

Life wants to play its favorite game of Crossroads with me....

Just when i was beginning to realize that everything is all settled and calm..

BANGGGG...that's the sound it makes and bounces back...

All i am left with is to wait and watch, as to what turn it takes...

Is it a tsunami that turns my life upside down??..orrr....

Its a very pleasant (...although Fast) Breeze.....

bass yun hi....

na un rahon mein jaate....
na un manzilo se taaruf hota
jaha hum samne hokar bhi samne na the,
jaha hhum milkar bhi mile nai...
jaha bina kahe bahut kuch keh diya,
jab us lamhe pe waqt theher gaya aur nafz daud padi
aur jaha rukhsati ke pal mein sukhi aankho ne bhi gaalon ko nami de di...
jaha jab yaad aayi to mann unse milne ke sapne bunne laga
aur jaha
bass woh yaad hi apni thi, baaki sab paraya....!!!!!

Deciphering Life - II

a strange feeling occupies my mind today
to take decisions is the call of the hour,
mind somehow seems to have lost the battle against heart
No clear line to go,
no focal point to focus on,
its all a riddle, that's somehow difficult to comprehend
thought about God when life started,
refined by him in the due course of life....
and finally given to me at this juncture to solve, after me having it penned!!!

Deciphering life.....

Sometimes it’s difficult to understand

How life treats you..

It gives you a great love story,

But with that story why does it give that insecurity?

It gives you an opportunity,

But why does it have to take away something to avail it?

It gives you enough love to give to that person,

But then, why does it not kill that selfish nature?

It teaches you to prioritize things,

But why does it forget to teach you the art of prioritizing?

It gives solutions to problems,

But why doesn’t it helps us to stop finding problems?
