Bachpan ki yaadein

kitna anmol waqt tha wo bhi, papa jab sham ko ghar aate the..
jeb me unki 1-2 rupye ke sikke khankhanate the..
kabhi kabhi khud pyar se humare haath me thamate the..
kabhi jeb se gir jane pe main or behan uthane ko daud jate the..
subha jaldi na uthne ko bahane banana, school na bhejne ko maa ko manana..
yaad hai mujhe bhot mar khate the..

fir nam aankhe leke school chale jaate the..
khusiya waha bhi intzaar me hoti thi,
dosto se milne ki jo darkaar hoti thi..
pehla question "bhai homework kiya kya?",
uska chehra padh ke samajh jana " beta aj to tu gya"..
math ke lecture me bahar nikal diya jana,
principal round pe ho to teacher se andar bulane ki guhar lagana..
din guzar gaye kese pta hi na laga,
ban ke fresher main college ko chala..
anjaane chehre anjaane sab mehmaan the,
aankho me sapne liye banaye aaye pehchaan the..
socha na tha ke aesa college hota hai..
ek ek semester clear karna ghamasaan hota hai..
ban gye dost mere bhi kaha main akela tha..
har din lagne laga yaaro ka mela tha..
soya bhi tha class me ek din or pakda gya tha..
kai bar exams ki tension me jakda bhi gya tha..
rato rat padh ke sab exam bhi paas karte the..
yaad hai kuch dost raat bhar phone pe ishq ladate the..
tik tok ghadi ki chalti hi rahi,
dhakke kha kha job bhi mil gyi..
sabka alag thikana ho gya,
yaari ka parivaar ab begana ho gya..
koi desh me koi videsh chala gya..
har koi paisa kamane me khota chala gya..
kuch yaar mile mujhe aese bhi..
jo kal the aj bhi wese hi..
milta hu kuch dosto se to kehte hai mujhko,
yaad nahi aati bhai ab tujhko..
kya kahu main bhi to duniya ka hissa hu..
kisi badle jamane ka bhula bisra ek kissa hu..
kabhi milta hu tumse to jeeta hu jaagta hu..
warna to din me office rat sapno me khota hu..
samay ki fitrat hai ke ye badal jata hai..
accha ho ya bura ye guzar jata hai..
kabhi milte hai yaar aese vaade leke jaana..
2 din yaad karna fir sab bhool jaana...

World outside the window

  Sitting near the window of my hotel room, I could see the full moon shining bright in the cold mountain night. Must be around 10 or 11 degrees. I could feel the light breeze on my face. Just looking outside the window, it was beautiful, even in the night.  A silent full moon night high up in mountains could be so beautiful and soothing. I felt like my mind was empty of all thoughts. Like naturally meditating with eyes wide open and looking out into silhouette of huge mountains, like staring into wast spread of nothingness.  I could see tiny lights twinkling on small buildings spread across the small town near Shimla, India. Sometimes when i came to senses, a sudden flood of thoughts streaming through the brain. How much we(humans) have progressed. How much nature had paid for our actions. Constantly digging the heart of mountain to make clearings for agriculture and buildings. Yet, nature is forgiving and let us be in peace.  Peace, which is perhaps pet word of my ...

In the shadow of Blue Sky

A few days ago I was traveling in the bus and I was at the window seat. Fallen deeply in my thoughts I was thinking about my life. How everything suddenly turned out to be something that I never imagined it to be. "I was among the good students in the college. My degree was good enough. My knowledge was good enough. I didn't lack the confidence or passion. I am a good person, so why me. I am trying so hard yet I can't get what I want, Why God why me ?", this is all my mind was full of. It was time of winter, I think last of December somewhere near new year and the weather was misty. The bus was not passing by a small town, I was looking out side the window with unfocused eyes. And Suddenly I was wide awake. There were a few people, sleeping on the footpath near the road, may be they were some poor people, may be labors who work hard everyday to earn little amount of money so that they can eat and feed their family. Seeing this a few lines were created in my min...
