आंखें

आँखें खुली एक सुबह
सुबह जो सुनहरी थी
महकी थी जो
आशाओं से और कविताओं से

आँखें खुली ही
सपना ही सा तो था सब कुछ
कुछ धुंधला धुन्द्ला सापर शायद था तो सच्चा ही ।

आंखों में शायद कोई किर्ची थी पड़ी
achaanak से बंद हुईं वोखुली तो सब कुछ पानी था
बहता हुआ ढलता हुआ सा

देखा आंखों ने
सपनों को बहते हुए
कविताओं को रोते हुएखुशबु को कहीँ गुम होते हुए

आँखें बंद तो theen
पर अब भी था unmein एक junoon
beh jayein सब सपने
पर होंगे सब sach

एक anokhi chamak थी
un बंद palkon के पीछे
खुद से किये हुए vaade the
na haarne का था hausla

पानी तो baha
दर्द तो हुआ
पर
आँखें खुली तो unhein mili drishti.

Alone..

The music drifts by
Sweet smell of pine envelopes me
The mist paints the lake hazy
And the rivulet gushes by.

The birds and the bees
Are all so busy..
They find no time
To stop by...

The chirping rises to a high tune
The humming grows all so loud
I am standing on the edge
All Alone..

The valley presents a song
And i sing along
My heart beats to the tune
But why it feels so Alone...??

The phone rings again!!

Today morning my phone rang and to my surprise the "GOOD GUY" was on the other side. He apologised for not sending my belongings to me and informed that he would be doing it by today itself. How was i astonished as well as happy. Not that i was much enthusiastic about my lost wallet, but the person's attempt to return it surely touched my heart. I dnt expect that i would get back the cash in the wallet, but even i never expected the person to call me up just to inform that he was late in sending it. WOW! Mumbai is sure a great place. All i can say -- SALAAM BOMBAY!! ( for its spirit that is totally mumbaiya)

A journey..

Was going through my blog... one post at a time.. How i have evolved or rather have tried to see things through differently colored glasses.... The journey matters.. what i write now, how i write is not that important to me. The learning i had through my own words is something to cherish. It feels so good and strange at the same time. Myriads of emotions drift through... the kaleidoscope is invitingly put to display... Come Have a Look....

One Day to remember!!

This is about the most "INTERESTING" day of my life.... As usual the start of the weekend was a bit lazy, with me BUNKING my swimming class and utilising the time for a good sleep in the morning. Lazed around for few hrs and decided to take a trip down the town. Who knew i had quite an evening in store for me. I went to a book shop, got only one book ( as the stock was over before i cud grab one) and took a shared auto for station. All was going so bland till now...
Had a humid and sweaty trip to the last stop and finally decided to have a treat for my tummy at the railway station.
So went rock hard idli, washed down with FROOTY, down my throat.
As soon as it was over , i realised to my utter shock that i had lost my WALLET... GODDAMN WALLET...
It took me few mnts to compose myself before i could even think abt what to do next.
First paid up my bills with all the CHILLARS i had and then called up a frnd and sought an advice. That calmed me enough to start trying the ever engaged Bank's customer care service.
By the time i reached home, almost all that cud be done on phone was done. My greatest thanks to the person who invented a CELLPHONE and who started phone banking.
Still had to lodge an FIR for the stolen wallet and license.
Another interesting experience was that.
Well by the evening had everything sorted out...... and lo my phone rang to let me know that a "GOOD GUY" got my wallet and called me up to return it to me( the call was from a private no. though). As it turned out, i had to ask him to courier my belonging at my office address and made some excuse about my ankle being fractured and hence my helplessness to meet him.

That was surely a fun filled, exciting, adventurous saturday i had. Next time.. lets see if i can have some more fun.. :)

MYSELF...

For the first time in my blog, i am going to write about myself and not just my reflections. I was someone else for the larger part of my life and changed to someone else few years ago. I dont know how or when it happened. I felt trapped and inspite of wanting things to go differently, never did something to make it happen. I lost a part of me. I lost my free spirit, my humility, my confidence and most of all my innate nature to be myself. I can very well blame circumstances and get away with it, but i wont. Thats just not me.
Of all days, yesterday i suddenly realised what i was missing all these times. I was too bitter to let things go. THAT was the key... I needed to LET GO. My teacher and guide always told me to be a witness and let things go. It was me who agreed in theory but now i realise what it means to put it in practice. I can say its tough and easy at the same time. Tough because you have to work hard to realise it and easy coz once u have realised it, it takes an instant to follow it.
I hope and would definitely work to keep this understanding with me. I took a small step by letting things go which i had kept with me for years. I asked sorry from a person whom it was hardest to forgive and forget. Now i am free of my past and future. Only present remains with me and its a wonderful feeling.
Wish all of us could go through this experience once in life.

It has been a long time... Where was I?

It has been a long time since i posted anything. Not that i was out of words or thoughts :). Simply i was too busy coping with lots of things in my life. And here i am celebrating my comeback ( I know, I know, it is not THAT long.. still ;) )
These days were one of the best and most fruitful days of my life. I found the part of me i felt i lost somewhere in the haste of life and yes i am happy.
One of the most active and busy days in my life, they helped me reconstruct my life the way i want to live it. The pride and the power i hold to change my own future is so amazing. It is just BEAUTIFUL.
God Bless All.
