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!
