Before Taking A Big Leap

Hold on…

I’m busy in my world,
Admiring the sky, and
Waiting for the clouds to pass.

So that I feel,
The fresh sunshine, and
Glitter like a blade of grass.

Hold on…

Till I absorb the chaos,
Before I find my peace, and
Take a big leap.

To wander once again,
Only to find me, and
Get lost in the serenity.

So, Hold on!! 🥰

रिश्ते, आज कल…

आज कल के रिश्ते भी अजीब होते हैं

दिखावा ज्यादा, भावनाएं कम

Whatsapp ज्यादा, फ़ोन काम

कहाँ है वह लगाव वह घंटो घंटों बातें करना

पुरानी बातें याद कर हसी ठिठोली करना

पहले जन्मदिन पर आधी रात को भाई बहन जागते थे

अब “सुबह ऑफिस है” कह कर निपटा देते हैं

फ़ोन करना तो एक formality सा हो गया है

कैसे हो , क्या हो , सब ठीक है

अच्छा ध्यान रखना में सीमित हो गया है

फ़ोन भी आपको वही करेगा, जिसे आप करोगे

चार बार किया तो वह एक बार करेगा

पहले दूर होकर भी पास होने का एहसास होता था

अब तो त्यौहार पर भी फॉरवर्ड्स आ जाते हैं

वो भी अगर आप खुश करने वालों की सूची में आते हैं तो

मैसेज टाइप करने में भी कष्ट है लोगों को

Okay को K और थैंक यू को tks लिख देते हैं

हाँ सज धज के फोटो जरूर भेजते हैं

भले बड़ों का आशीर्वाद और छोटों को प्यार न कहे

सिमट के रह गए हैं, टेक्नोलॉजी में खो गए हैं

ये मासूम से रिश्ते…

जो पहले मिलकर साथ चलते थे

आज स्वार्थी से दिखते हैं वे रिश्ते

खून के रिश्तों से ऊपर हैं आज यह दिखावे के रिश्ते

शब्दों के तोल मोल में फंसे

आज मोल भाव में धंसे हुए हैं यह रिश्ते

दो बच्चों में आज कुछ माँएं भी भेद-भाव करती हैं

कुछ माँ का प्रेम भी आंशिक सा हो गया है

जहाँ मिले सुख , उधर रहना पसंद करती हैं

बुरे समय में फ़ोन पर बस सांत्वना ही मिलती है

जो भावुक हैं, आज भी अपेक्षाएं रखते हैं

अपनेपन की वही चोट बार-बार मिलती है

ये दिखावों की दुनिया है मालिक

यहाँ रिश्ते प्यार से नहीं दिखावों पे जीते जाते हैं II

Season of Love

As January is all set to bid adieu giving way to February, there’s more ‘Love’ evident everywhere. Love is not just in the air, but can be seen in every nook and corner of the markets and multiplexes-showrooms, card and gift galleries, restaurants displaying Valentine’s Day posters and placards. The hype is also apparently because of the online media.

Seasons come and go, however, the season of love remains forever. And, it is a good way to express your feelings in full zeal and vigor on a day specified for it. This gives us an opportunity to wait for one entire year to showcase the lovey dovey side of us; on the special day of love, in a special way to that special someone. However, there comes a time when love is not about that one glimpse or a smile or a heart melting feeling.

The perspective changes as one evolves and grows into a mature person. Goose bumps and butterflies vanish into thin air as one understands the deeper meaning of love, which is attained through simple acts of caring for those who are in need of your love and attention. Making them feel special is a feeling that gives utmost happiness and satisfaction as compared to love that’s superficially superfluous.

Today, when I sit and give it a thought, I realize how the feelings within me have transformed severely from a love that was self-centered to a selfless one. Hence, for me, Valentine’s Day is a day to show I care. And, this caring is not only for a special someone, but all those who touch my life in some way or the other. I feel love for all humans who nurture noble thoughts, children-for they are the most innocent souls on this earth and, animals who play a major role in keeping me humane.

It’s a strong statement when I say that love is losing its charm. I say this perhaps because the stories of heartbreaks, betrayal, back stabbing are commonly heard nowadays. I believe, “It’s easier to break a relationship, but takes a lifetime to make one.” On this note, I would love to share a composition written by me and dedicated to all those who are in love, irrespective of what your definition of love might be:

Be with those you love, walk by their side;
When you say you love someone,
Don’t keep them in disguise.

When they falter, hold their hand;
Don’t leave them or ignore them;
If they are in a moment; bad.

They might act vulnerable at times,
Or showcase their worst side,
Believe, they are still the same you liked;
Don’t judge them in their difficult times.

None can be smiling all the time;
If you accept their strengths,
Accept their weaknesses underlying.

Love demands an understanding divine;
It’s a fixture that strongly unites.

Let not the feelings of hatred seep in,
Because, it’s easier to lose, but hard to find.

Prayer Unanswered

Whenever I think of you, tears roll down my cheeks;

The beautiful memories I have of you,

At times make me strong, at times they make me weak.

Days went by and now years equally fly in speed;

But, how can I stop missing you and accept the reality?

You had been the happiest phase, partner in crime with me;

When I look back, I find the fondest of memories.

The time we spent was not enough, I wish you were here always;

One person I long for, every second, is you who adored me.

You were the reason of hundreds of smiles, then how could it be?

I wish to see you once, torment you and talk endlessly.

If God exists, He must answer all my weeps;

I want you back forever and ever; I love you immensely.

 

I Walk Alone, Smiles Accompany Me

I walk and I walk alone till I find a way,
I get tired, I also stumble
I even fall or know I’ll fumble
But, I still walk to find a path
Where life seems fulfilling
And, emotions deduct wrath.

I dream and I dream alone, building castles in the air
I get dismayed, I give up hope
I feel dejected and forlorn
But, then I know that’s not what I am
I’ve to make it till the end
And, I dream on to achieve more and more.

I live and I live alone to give meaning to my life
Yes, I do feel like giving up when things are obscure
I tend to deny the strife, and lose my control
But, then I gather myself and accept it
My life—my identity and I have to make it big
And, then I smile and when I do, several smiles follow.
