The last flight..

She kept smiling so that she could hide

But inside, every moment a part of her died

Cheerful as she was seen by many

Deep within her heart was not as shiny

Day by day her vibrant colours faded

The freshness that she carried slowly waded

The butterfly started to turn into a stingy bee

No one understood her sorrows nor could see

Her twinkles dimmed out slowly and slowly

Her beamish presence wasnt sought by any 

The kindness within her kept sinking

Her desire to live went on shrinking

It wasn’t her mistake nor it was her choice

She just needed friendly souls to get back and rejoice

Days went by, unheard remained her plight

After more and more struggle she decided to end her flight...

सहारा..

रूखसत के फसानों को निगाहोंसे बयाॅं कर के 

दिल में छुपे तुफाॅं को दिल में थमा कर के

रिश्तों की नीव को मजबुती अदा कर के

बढते रहो जिंदगी के सफर के हर मंजर को कैद कर के

राही बदल जाएंगे, रास्ते मुड जाएंगे

मंजिल की ओर चलते शायद साथ छुट जाएंगे

मगर जहन में बसे रिश्ते कायम रहेंगे

यादों के भरे आंगन ही जीने का सहारा बनेंगे

ती आणि तो

प्रिय तू,

मला आवडतोस तू...

मला पाऊसही आवडतो...

पावसातला तू त्याहून जास्त आवडतोस...

पावसात ती जर असेल तर त्यालाही खूप आवडतं आणि मलाही...

पण तिच्यापेक्षा मला तुझ्याबरोबर पावसात जायला जास्त आवडतं...

कधीकधी तीची company हवीहवीशी वाटते...

पण तू मात्र नेहमीच भेटावस असं वाटतं...

कधीही,कुठेही आणि तू आवडतोस अश्या सगळ्यांबरोबर तुला भेटायला जाम मस्त वाटतं...

कधीतरी तीला आणि तुला एकत्र भेटवेन...

तीचा स्वभाव strong, आणि तुझा मात्र कडक!!

ना आॅंसू दिखते हैं ना हॅंसी दिखती हैं
भीड में हर किसीकी सिर्फ परछाई दिखती हैं

अपना कहलानेवाले सब जैसे गुम हो गए हैं
साथ में बटोरी सारी यादें बिखर गए हैं

यूॅं तो हर कोई जाना पहचानासा लगता हैं
ढूंढने पर मगर हर चेहरा पराया बन जाता हैं

वक्त की रफ्तार से सब दौडते जा रहे हैं
रिश्तोंकी अहमियत को कुचले जा रहे हैं

सही-गलत की गुत्थी सुलझती ही नही हैं
दिल की उलझन बिगडती जा रही हैं

कश्मकश मन की बढती ही जा रही हैं
आईना भी अब पहचाननेसे इन्कार कर रहा हैं

Kora Kagaz..

कोरे कागज पे कुछ लफ्झ गिरे पडे हैं..

किसी के सहलानेका इंतेझार जैसे कर रहे हैं..

एक दुसरे से वो अन्जान है, या शायद है एक दुसरे से वो खफा..

न कोई दुरिया है उनमें,नाही कोई नजदिकीया..

वक़्त गुजरते,कुछ लफ्झ अल्फाझ बनके एक दूसरे में बंध जाते है..

कोरे कागझ पे कोई कविता खुद ही जैसे जनम लेती है..

कुछ लफ्झ लेकीन कोने में ही रह जाते है..

सब का साथ निभाते निभाते खुद अकेले ही बह जाते है..

कागज मगर बिखरे लफ्झोन्को समेटनेकी कोशिश में लगा रहता है..

हर लम्हा मन जैसे जहन में पले खयालों को सुलझानेमें उलझा रहता है..

न जाने क्यू ये कागज हमारे मन जैसे लगने लगता है..

जब हसते रोते पलोन्को खुद में समाने की कोशिश में, कभी कभी ये कोरा ही रह जाता है..

Rishtein........

ज़िन्दगी की राह में  कई रिश्तें बनते है...
कुछ रिश्तें सदा साथ रहते हैं, कुछ बस तजुर्बा देके बिछड़ते हैं...
कुछ उलझते  है, कुछ सुलझते है, कुछ गिरकर फिर संभलते हैं..

कभी ये ख़ुशी देते है, कभी यही गम भी बन जाते हैं..
ज़िन्दगी की सतह पर अपने निशान पीछे छोड़ जातें हैं..

हर रिश्तें की अपनी पहचान हैं..
कुछ मैं ख़ुशी हैं, कुछ में  है ग़म , कुछ कभी घुटन से बन जाते  हैं...

कुछ में अलग  रास्तें होकर भी एक मंज़िल होती हैं..
कुछ में रास्ता एक होकर भी कभी मंजिले अलग बन जाती हैं..

रिश्तोंका  बनना , रिश्तोंका टूटना ज़िंदगी का उसूल हैं..
 जो हाथ थामे, मुस्कुराए, सफर सुहाना बनाते है, वही रिश्तें दिल के करीब रह जाते हैं..

कोसळणारा पाऊस मला खूप आवडतो

आपल्या सरींनी तो नजरेसमोरचं जग धूसर करून टाकतो,

काही काळ सगळं विसरायला लावतो,

थंडगार थेंबांनी मनाला मोहरून टाकतो,

मादक सुगंधाने नवीन चैतन्य घेउन येतो,

चोहीकडे जणूे उत्साह बहरतो!

खूपदा मनात विचार डोकावतो, या पावसासारखं आयुष्य पण धुवून काढावं,

जुनं दुःख विसरावं, नवं सुख घेऊन पुढे जावं,

शुभ्र सरींसारखं फक्त आनंद घेऊन जगावं,

मन धावेल त्या दिशेला त्या च्या सारखचं बरसावं!

पण हळूहळू त्या चं कोसळणं मंदावतं,

धूसर दिसणारं जग स्पष्ट दिसायला लागतं,

त्याचं बरसणं जेव्हा पूर्णपणे थांबतं , तेव्हा सगळं पुन्हा शांत होतं,

आकाश स्वच्छ झाल्यासारखं मनातलं वादळही मग अलगद ओसरतं,

स्वतःशीच हसत, नजर सावरत, पाऊल आपोआप घरी परततं!

When I walked in your shoes

Dear friend, it's been some time now..I haven't heard back from you..

Feels as if for you,am one of those strangers waiting in cue..

I think as if you have forgotten me altogether,

Have given up on all memories about the time we had spent together

Of course I am very proud of you,when I watch you climbing mountains,

With all the challenges that come across, you achieve success in tonnes

You keep saying to everyone, Life is busy,

Has it really been, or am I being too fussy?

Just to make sure,I decided to step into your shoes,

To explore about your life and how your boat sails

Honestly, I wasn't even able to walk with your shoes on, 

I wonder how do you manage to run with them all along

It is not easy to lead your life,I now understand,

Even in such a case, how do you manage to stand

I decide to put your shoes back and wear mine,having learnt enough lessons

I tried to look for my pair,and found them sitting on someone else's legs

My expressions turned from angry to happy, while checking on the person wearing them

It was 'you' after all this time, who had also been taking a walk through my life

We both smiled at each other, didn't say a word and gave a friendly nod

Headed towards our favoutite hanging place where we loved to go; 'without' our shoes on

Do Pattonki Kahani

वो पत्तोंकी सरसराहट तेरी याद दिलाती है,
तेरी खुशबू के रूप में जैसे तुझे ढूंढ लाती है

कुछ पत्ते अभी भी हरे हैं ,पेड़ जिनसे भर गए है,
नीचे गीरे पुराने पत्तोंको मगर वो अब भूल गए है

उन टहनीयोंपे  कैसे हम भी साथ साथ रहते थे,
सूरज की गर्मी हो,या बारिश की बूंदे हो,हम खुश थे

                               
                                  फिर जाने क्या बात हुई जो हमें यु पड़ा बीछडना,
                                 क्या हर पत्ते के नसीब में होता है यु ही गिर जाना?

                                  ज़मीन पे पता नहीं तेरा ठिकाना अब कहा रहता है,
                                  इसीलिए शायद हर आहट में दिल तुझे ही ढूँढता है

                                 कही दूर ही सही, मगर तू भी ज़मीन पे है ये अच्छा है,
                                क्यूंकि इसी मिटटी में मिलकर, कल हमें फिर से पेड़ पर साथ उगना है

Words....

A means of communication
A form of expression

A minds reflection                                                                  
A Soul's impression

They are powerful and strong,
They can form a beautiful song

They can make one smile,
They can make one cry

They can hurt one,
They can flirt with one

They can touch one's heart,
They can break one's heart

They can bring people together,
They can even force them apart

They are available for free, yet they are priceless
Everyone must be watchful about their use and should not be careless

Once they are 'out' there, they cannot return
May your words be wise enough to take a 'correct' turn

The ScEnT..

It all came with the wind.I don't know from where..but it suddenly came and took me to the golden days!
For the time being I forgot everything and followed 'it'.
Ahh..I still remember that day..we were in the middle of our trek,amidst the green mountain range aiming towards the white ones.Even though we were walking continuously,the snow capped peaks seemed far away.But still, we kept moving.
Not only the destination,but also the journey was beautiful.The scenery around,the sound of water flowing from the mountain and the the cold wind!!It was a treat not only to eyes,ears and skin but also to the nose.Nose??Yeah also to the nose..The scent is still there in my nostrils.The scent that took me back on the mountains even though I was far away in 'distance' and 'time'.The scent took me to that time and place where it belonged;The scent of Himalayas.
This is not the only one.There are different scents that characterize different places,different things,different occasions and also different people.I think scent is an amazing thing.It takes you to that part of the journey which you were not even thinking of.Even a slight breeze characterized by a particular smell takes you to the time with which it is associated.But sometimes it may also be other way round;The memories may bring back the scent too.
For every person the match of smell,place,people may be different.But the connecting link here is the scent that brings out the memories!!Even when I am writing this post now,I can think of so many different things that the scent has taken me to.It simply can be anything,anytime and out of nowhere just like now.All these thoughts came on my mind and I thought of sharing them here.
I am sure everyone has experienced this once in a while and wondered over the power of

 'the invisible scent'.

Time changes things!

'Time' :
No one has it extra..so no one wants to sell it!
But,everyone wants to buy it!
It is invisible,yet powerful!
It can make people dance on their toes so that they can manage it well..
In my opinion,it is the most expensive thing in life!

Right when we are born,the journey called life with the driver called Time takes us on a toll to reach to unknown destinations where it stops,takes a pause and again moves on! 

We swing along with it..try to cope up with it's pace..tasting different experiences..through different phases.

Anyways..this post is not an essay on TIME like the one we were made to write in school..But it is just to express my opinion on its Healing Power!

By healing I don't only mean healing of a wound but i mean closing a few chapters in life that don't actually deserve to be there in your book!

Time is one of the best Physicians..It heals almost everything! I wonder how it does it.

If there is a bad phase in one's life,he feels shattered,destroyed and completely broken.
Probably he thinks that he would never again get up from the ashes.But,to his surprize things change,Time flies,days change and sorrows of yesterday has changed it's way!
What seemed unending,is over!
What seemed impossible to achieve,is already there!
How?? Cause the Magician named Time has showed it's Trick!

When The unwanted time passes and the new replaces the old,

The phase then changes to make life shine again and glitter like gold! 

There are a lot of things that change,the bad ones change to good and sometimes good to bad..

When we look at our past,things look sad,things look happier..so..overall things look different.Cause actually,things have changed!!And the one that has done all this is it-The Time!
But,to be frank many a times,I don't really want some things to change,I wish we could control what the time could change and what it could not! Life would have been so much under control!
But on the other hand I also feel that it is good that things change! After all change is good and what happens,happens for better!

A Turn

Its been really a long time since I have poured my heart here..It's not that I didn't have anything to write..it's just that I have so much to write but was unable to decide what to write first..
Ok..so Here I am..
In a land of opportunities,different system,different culture and different people!
Yes,things are new,things are different,things are moving fast trying to override my past.But I am standing in the middle of the new and the old..Thinking about the both at the same time..I am sure I need not tell which one gets the priority..But new is something at hand presently and needs my attention!
Yet,my mind keeps on moving to and fro between the two parts of the world!
One where my heart is and the other where my mind should be!
Everyone out here has come this far to achieve something with a dream in their eyes..Everyone must be facing this too..
But as far as I am concerned,I Accept that I am not able to Accept yet!!

Stray thoughts apart,the world here around me is settling down,meeting new people everyday,seeing new places everyday (at least in the university campus) and looking forward to the things coming ahead!

Just remembered something on my way to log out..

I used to always think over the lyrics of the song "California Calling.."Before they didn't make much sense to me..But now they surely do..Listening to the song sitting in California itself gives me a kind of Nostalgic feeling..
Life is moving..but it has taken a turn..I hope the road makes it to all the places and people I want to reach!

Accept it!

Sometimes handling some things become easier if we accept them as they are!
If they are painful,then accepting them makes life easier.Of course this doesn't help in vanishing the fact that it exists but keeping 'it' aside is much more helpful than keeping it all the time on top of the list and making things worse!!

The fact that I will be leaving soon for further education(which is good) and will not be present here,where I am right now makes me unhappy.I want to do both,I want to stay here with my parents,my bro at home and be with my friends,my people like I was till now & I also want to pursue higher education in US for which I will have to leave allll this at least for a while (while being 2 years from now ).

Sometimes I feel that everything is just my imagination.Me going now is not a real thing at all! But then the visa,the ticket,the preparation,the room mates,finding accomodation and finally tears bring me back to reality. I will have to go:-( :-)
Yesterday was the day when I met my friends after almost 2 weeks.I was imagining that we all will cry or something when we meet,because meeting each other everyday was almost like a routine for last few years.But none of us actually cried.Now the question revolving in my mind was "how come? ".
The reason was that may be we all had accepted the fact that "now" was the time to separate in order to pursue indivisual goals.
Though there is this weird feeling of being alone once again and moving in a different boat in a different sea,The Show Must Go On!!

As of now,all I can do is Accept the situation so that my boat reaches at it's destination and call back the friend's boats it had been with to say :
"Hi,I have reached and am fine.All The Best.Bye tc".

Dosti Ke Naam..

This post is dedicated to allll my friends..
The thought of college days getting over,the feeling of leaving friends makes me sad,but after all,life has to go on...
These are a few words from me to express how much our friendship is dear to my heart!!


 जब भी कभी दोस्ती  की गूँज सुनाई देगी,
बिखरी हुई यादें तब सारी ज़िन्दगी समेट लाएगी ||
हर बात में किसी दोस्त की परछाई दिखाई देगी,
बहती ज़न्दगी जब पलभर के लिए रुक जाएगी ||
उन दिनोकी यादोमें तब मन खो जायेगा,
यारों की यारी का फ़साना जब याद आएगा ||
हम कही भी हो,किसी भी मुकाम पे हो ज़िन्दगी,
ये दोस्ती हमेशा ज़िन्दगी को रंगीन कर जाएगी ||

Bachhan reciting Bachhan

    It was a wonderful evening..and was different in many respects..First of all, I was finally away from the project,lectures and wait for the judges at the INC..Second I was sitting in an amphitheatre at Amanora park town with beautiful ambiance and Third----I was watching Amitabh Bachhan live..right infront on the stage!!!! He came in a simple cream coloured traditional wear and the first words which came out were "Namashkar".
     He was there to recite some of Dr.Harivansh Rai Bachhan's poems.He did the job almost as easily as he says the dialogues in the movies.His voice kept us locked so well that we didn't even realize how 90 minutes flew quickly.Yes,he went on and on from one poem to other for 90 minutes!! I was impressed by his stamina and enthusiasm! The first poem Madhushala that he sang was the one I liked the most.It gives the gist of life.
    Apart from that there were few others in the list which I would love to hear again.Though I didn't know Harivansh Rai's literature much,I have started looking for more of it after the evening.The speciality of his poems is that even after so many years,the essence of the poems connects with our present lives.After all,somethings in life never change.
I am glad I attended this event! One,It brought my poetic senses closer to me again(this engineering course has made life so focussed that sometimes I tend to forget about these senses).Two,I saw India's one of the great personalities live! This evening will be one of my memorable evenings..

I love you Morning!!

  I always wonder why i am in love of mornings so much than any other time of the day!! "Which part of the day you like the most??"  This is a bit crazzy topic, I know it is!! But i just thought that we all should give it a thought at least once,isn't it? We all run everyday to get the things done on time,to finish different tasks like attending college,completing assignments,taking daily dose of timepass with friends,exercise etc.

The daily grind doesn't leave us to think about such small questions.We just keep on moving forward investing present to make our future better..Of course this IS important.But,let's just stop for a while,and ask ourselves-"Which part of the day I like the most??" You will definitely start feeling happier and enthusiastic more than before in this special part of the day when you answer this question to yourself.

  As far as i am concerned,I love Morning!!!
 Every morning brings a new day,a new hope,a chance to correct the mistakes we have done the day before. Every night I am hopeful,that tomorrow will prove me a better person than i was today, It will be more effective and eventful than today.And when i am thinking of tomorrow,i am actually thinking of the starting point of tomorrow-The morning!!

Just a thought of morning fills me with a cheerful feeling!! The morning fills my nostrils with fresh cool air!!
Everyone in the nature makes a respectful notice of the lovely morning. The morning sun is the king themorning kingdom. He has the power to rule the day.He relinquishes us all with the energy enough to last throughout the day.This way,I have found the answer to the question and I hope that everyone else will find it too,to identify the Happy Hours of the day.

Recently i had gone to an award ceremony held by 'Maharashtra Rajya patrakar Sangh'. 
There i got an apportunity to hear Ashutosh Rana who was accompanying Renuka,his wife who recieved the award for her marathi film Rita.He gave a very nice speech in fluent hindi,everybody was listening in pin-drop silence.His words came from within,they had an earnesty,an urge to be only an Indian and most of all, a Human.I can recollect a part of it,which i would love to share with all.It goes like this:

नजर बदल दो,नजारा बदल जाता है,
सोच बदल दो,सितारा बदल जाता है,
नाव को बदलनेकी जरुरत नहीं;
दिशा बदल दो,किनारा अपने आप बदल जाता है  

I am sure the thought in the lines will guide us to proper direction.
