'यादें'


वो आँगन में बैठे हुएय
चिडियों को चहचहाते सुनना ,
वो बारिश की बूंदों का
झम-झम होते हुएय बरसना;
वो सामने पहाड़ के पेड़ो को
मचलते हुएय देखना ,
और वही कोने किनारों से  
झरनों का गिरते रहना;


ले जाती हे मुझे खींच के
उन लम्हों के दामन में ,
जहा येह कलम नहीं पन्नों पे
पर कागज़ के नाँव थे जरुर इन हाथों में;

वो दिन जब ना कोई  समझ थी 
कि क्या कभी रुक सी भी जाती है येह ज़िन्दगी ?
क्योंकि मानो बस एक ही समझ थी 
चलते रहना ही हें ज़िन्दगी;

दोस्तों का जैसे मेला सा लग जाता था
पर अब जैसे मानो अक्सर अकेलापन ही घिर सा जाता है,
वो उचलना और कूदना बिना किसी बात पें
पर कुछ  बात थी जरुर हर दिन और रात में;

वो लम्हें जो हम अक्सर गुनगुनाया करते है
जिन्हें हम प्यार से अच्छी यादें कहतें चलतें है;

पर येह दिल अक्सर धीरे से पूछता है
कि क्या वो दिन वापस आते है ?
और मन चुपचाप सुन , केवल  मुस्कुरा कर 
मानो सारी बात कह जाता है...

Best friend not necessarily be the true friend always!!!!!!


A teenage girl named Dia was sitting on the bed and shedding her tears constantly upon the academic report card. Mixed feeling of sadness and anxiety were running through her mind. It’s just that she had failed in one of the subjects for the first time in her life.It was one of the most unacceptable and stressful day for any average student like her. She was already struggling with some domestic violence issues from her family side.  Through out her life, she showed the best chirpy side to all her friends. But might be that situation had come when she was no more what she was showing to the world. She actually was back to her real self, when she had no control over her sentiments. All emotions just jumbled up. She was frightened to reveal this news in front of her closed ones. She even skipped the dinner on the same day. Family got the wrong idea about the ill health of their daughter. Consequently, she could not sleep whole night.
Next day anyhow she reached school with that sad and tense face. She got very few friends in her school but three of her friends named Aakash , Sakshi and Vedant were amongst the good friends but Aakash was the best friend since standard one. After attending morning assembly everyone was returning to their respective classes. Dia sat along with Sakshi as per the sitting arrangement of the class and Aakash sat along with Vedant. At the same time whole class was shouting at the top of its voice as the chemistry teacher was little late in arriving the class. Everyone was the part of that mischief except Dia. She had not spoken a word since morning not even with her best friend Aakash. She always considered Aakash as the best buddy in her life and the one used to share almost every thing with right from the chocolates to all the secrets and mischief. One more prominent reason was they were sharing similar happy go lucky nature with each other. On the other side Vedant was a very quiet boy but clear hearted and genuine helping boy. He was in fact the real people person. He loved all his friends equally but always shown his partial nature towards his group of four friends. All three of her friends tried their best to cheer her up but it was not fruitful. Dia was very tense with her result and unable to enjoy any joke cracked by her friends in the class. Finally Sakshi asked her and responded casually to not to be worried and took things lightly because according to her its just part of the life. But somewhere deep within Dia was highly stressed and Sakshi’s suggestions could not work at all. Up till then to some corner of her mind, Dia was planning to hide this whole incident about her failure from the family. Dia was expecting Aakash to come and talk over because deep down she had a doubt whether she was going to implement the right decision or not and she always considered Aakash the best person to discuss with, earlier for the little time Aakash even talked and discussed with Dia and told her to just not waste time in being sad and rather pay more attention towards drama practice for the annual function and said later they will discuss. Dia realized that its not that Aakash could not feel her hassled situation  but he was actually trying to avoid being part of serious discussion  and directly expected her to behave little sensibly. At the same place Vedant also existed and he even asked Dia but he had been straightly refused. Finally till the time school was ended when everybody was returning home Aakash and Dia had serious discussion and what Aakash the best friend suggested was to do whatever she liked like she felt scared of telling the truth then she should not reveal it in front of her parents and by the time everything will be healed. Ultimately he supported whatever she decided. Aakash was actually more focused on not allowing anything to overshadow their best friendship.
On the other side, Vedant heard every single word of their conversation as he stood right at their back. When Aakash finally took a turn towards his house lane by saying bye to Dia, Vedant sped up his bicycle and caught Dia for accompanying her in rest of her way towards her house. Dia was not very pleased after seeing him and just could not show her excitement as she always did whenever she used to meet any of her friends. After ignoring her bad expression, Vedant started the conversation by saying that- ‘maine sab sun liya hai’ Dia. She even became angrier than before. At very second moment Vedant came straight to the main point of his conversation and told Dia to not to hide any single fact from her family as she is not mature enough to judge her problems and reach to the final decision all by herself. In the end he also stated whatever she had decided to do was completely wrong and unacceptable. And going to hurt her parents and ultimately to herself. So better to be true and honest towards her parents and then she might try to earn their trust by performing well in next exam. A kind of harshness and toughness could be easily felt in Vedant’s words at that time; even he himself could easily felt these elements in his talk but was giving more priority to his hope about final good result of them-i.e. - their effectiveness on Dia’s mind which should lead to right decision. Till that time Dia reached her home and whole night she thought over two poles apart advices given by two friends. On the one side the best friend was completely supporting her decision which was wrong just because the fact that Dia was his best friend whereas another side one normal friend advised to follow the correct path of life and took the side of right decision which was completely against of her friend’s point of view. At that moment, Vedant didn’t even care of loosing one of his closest friends. In the end, Dia decided to analyze the situation without being partial or a good friend towards anyone.
After eight long hours of thinking, what she noticed that her eyes were filled with tears and found her more inclined towards Vedant’s point of view and Vedant’s words were actually kept echoing through her ears, might be because they were more effective ones. She finally concluded that at some point of time- it’s not always necessary that the best friend always proved to be the true friend like in her case might be she made her best friendship more glorified but in main time it didn’t solve the actual purpose. But sometimes even a general or say common friend may reflect the image of a true friend and can direct you the right path to follow… and hence this story ended with a contented smile over the cute face of Dia..

MESSAGE FROM THE GOD

 Image:dropit2



As today on the 14th may 2011, I am going to run my blog officially, I wanted to start it off with the most unforgettable rather I should say one of the most inspiring incidents of my life.
It was one of the most chilling day of the year 2009 and it was 31st Dec. The whole city was involved in the celebrations for welcoming the New Year ahead. Firecrackers could be seen all over the sky. But I was crying and tears from my eyes were just unstoppable. Sometimes in life our mind just stops working and we are unable to decide how to maintain the balance with the situations, you simple feel helpless like never before.     
myself,along with my all packed luggage managed to reach the railway station with a sinking heart of mixed emotions. On the one side I was doing a light conversation over train delays with one of the passenger, at the same time several random thoughts were also synchronizing into my mind. But in a very second moment I realized as if everything changed. Suddenly a small poor boy with a bare body who had worn a torn half pant came in front of me and just lied over that dirty station floor. At that time everybody was covered with several layers of warm clothes but still unable to beat that terrible winter. But at that particular moment the only thought  that troubled me was how that boy might be feeling then? He was shivering right from head to toe as one could easily figure this out.
At least no sensible person would have ever imagined to survive in that condition but the little boy did. Then what I saw he shivered for sometime but went into the lap of sound sleep in that same chilling floor. He did survive... Somewhere I could clearly see a cute smile on his face and I guess the small boy might be lost in his fantasy world.
That smile completely signified that the boy was no more scared of the killing unbearable weather but rather made a triumph over it. It was almost unbelievable but yes it did happen. This whole incident compelled me to think that may be that was the medium God opted to send me a message. A message which was needed to be decoded by me and apply to myself. If he could adjust with such dreadful circumstances then why not me? I went to my flashbacks and started thinking that whenever I think about my life I become more scared and tense with my problems and consequently always tagged my life with a word called burden. But this is a  wrong way of leading a happy life. But that boy in that incident taught me that even he had his problems in different ways rather the one which he had, was the most struggling one which was about survival of oneself. I was in much better position as I am getting all basic needs for survival at least. But I always complained about what I had and could never be satisfied. Hence never even thought of making it much easier by putting constant efforts in fulfilling dreams that too in efficient manner. 
One single incident made me believe that god exists everywhere and always directs us with his signals and what all needed is just to decode them in our own style and manner. Life is a mixture of three basic elements happiness, problems and challenges. Every element has its own charm and importance. Always welcome them with open arms. Life will simply become easier and enjoyable. From the very first day of completely New Year, I could easily feel a little mature side of my individuality. In this way I entitled this incident as –“message from the god”.
