Haa keh du....

Dil me hai ek baat..
Tum pucho toh keh dun….
Khole hum jazbaat..
Tum samjho to keh dun….
Jaane anjaane yun hum tum mil baithe….
Jo karo tum bhi iqraar..
To main bhi Haan keh dun….
Waqt aaj aur abhi hai..
Kal ka kya bharosa..
Shayd main naa rahun….
Dil me hai ek baat..
Tum pucho toh keh dun….

Akele aap yun socha karte hai..
Kya hum bhi aapko yaad karte hain?
Shayad haan…. Shayad naah….
Ek baar chehre se jhuth bhi bolein
Par dil kehta hai sach keh dun….
Hum tumse ehhsaanson ke girafth me bandhe yun..
Ki tum hume humse zyada jaan ne lage ho..
Jhuth lage hum tumhe..
Jo abb bhi Naah keh dun….

To kyun na aake thaam lo hume yun..
Jaise subeh ki dhoop thaame seher ko..
Jaise aag se tapeh badan toh..
Kaano me tumhare yun..
Aah se dheema Haan keh dun..
Dil ki yahi baat tumhe..
Lage jo thodi naram thodi garam..
Yun Aah se dheema Haan keh dun….
Aah se dheema Haan keh dun….

Saaf Suthraa " KABHI KABHI "

मैं और मेरा रूममेट अक्सर ये बातें करते हैं,
घर साफ होता तो कैसा होता.
मैं किचन साफ करता तुम बाथरूम धोते,
तुम हॉल साफ करते मैं बालकनी देखता.
लोग इस बात पर हैरान होते,
उस बात पर कितने हँसते.
मैं और मेरा रूममेट अक्सर ये बातें करते हैं.

यह हरा-भरा सिंक है या बर्तनों की जंग छिड़ी हुई है,
ये कलरफुल किचन है या मसालों से होली खेली हुई है.
है फ़र्श की नई डिज़ाइन या दूध, बियर से धुली हुई हैं.

ये सेलफोन है या ढक्कन,
स्लीपिंग बैग है या किसी का आँचल.
ये एयर-फ्रेशनर का नया फ्लेवर है या ट्रैश-बैग से आती बदबू.
ये पत्तियों की है सरसराहट या हीटर फिर से खराब हुआ है.
ये सोचता है रूममेट कब से गुमसुम,
के जबकि उसको भी ये खबर है
कि मच्छर नहीं है, कहीं नहीं है.
मगर उसका दिल है कि कह रहा है
मच्छर यहीं है, यहीं कहीं है.

तोंद की ये हालत मेरी भी है उसकी भी,
दिल में एक तस्वीर इधर भी है, उधर भी.
करने को बहुत कुछ है, मगर कब करें हम,
इसके लिए टाइम इधर भी नहीं है, उधर भी नहीं.

दिल कहता है कोई वैक्यूम क्लीनर ला दे,
ये कारपेट जो जीने को जूझ रहा है, फिकवा दे.
हम साफ रह सकते हैं, लोगों को बता दें

Taking care of the “baccha” inside you…. The child we were once, continues to live inside us influencing every thought, every emotion, every movement and every action. Many of us in adult bodies still react like children, still attached to parents, never having broken free from the attitudes and beliefs acquired in youth. This inner baccha(child) is part of our personality which is playful and spontaneous, having fun and craving to be cared and understood. Like a real child, the inner baccha is starved of love, warmth and understanding, is easily hurt and may become depressed and withdrawn. Psychologists say that the inner child is a permanent fixture and those who become hurt easily or depressed on an innocent remark are still preserving that inner child demonstrating the traits through their behaviour. Jiddu Krishnamurthy during one of his sermons narrated the story of two monks- One old and the other young. They reached a river bank at sunset and saw a young woman sitting helpless as the last boat had already left. She was frightened too because of the surrounding forest area where wild animals roamed about and came to the river to drink water. Realising her predicament, the elder monk volunteered to carry her across the river, the water being shallow. After reaching the opposite bank, the Monk put her down and the two monks renewed their conversation while proceeding to the monastery. After a while, the young Monk told the older One: “You should not have carried that woman across the river as you have violated the rules of celibacy”. The elder Monk replied: “I put her down an hour ago but you are still carrying her in your thoughts”. The elder Monk has his aldult mould and the younger one still carried the child within. We all know that the past is dead but we carry it in our thoughts. Man can change only if the past is detached, forgotten or erased. There are some people who recall and relieve their past days, expand the sorrow and make themselves miserable. We can’t have a better tomorrow if we are thinking about yesterday all the time. There are some who breakaway from the routine and do something innovative and new, which again is the inner child playing games with new ideas. Sir Julian Huxley said: “It is all too obvious that in the great majority of human beings, the greater part of their possibilities, whether physical, spiritual, intellectual or aesthetic, remains unrealized”. To enjoy a better life, we must focus on our potential, not our limitations and concentrate on what we do well. We must exploit our natural abilities and aptitudes. The world is full of unsuccessful people who have talent but lack confidence and tenacity, who feel that no matter how good they are at something, someone else is bound to be better. But, what prevents this individual to become better than before, higher than before and attract recognition than before? Benjamin Franklin, one of the signatories of the American Declaration of Independence made a list of 17 personal qualities and habits, which he wanted to acquire. He realized that he need not to attempt all the 17 in one go. He worked on one, then another and mastered the 17 habits and completed the entire cycle three times in a year. EPICTETUS wrote: “Nothing great is created suddenly any more than a bunch of grapes. If you say to me that you desire grapes, that requires time. Let it first blossom, bear fruits and then ripen”. Two important qualities essential for man are patience and persistence. Lasting change takes time and when the going gets tough, how much better we feel when we achieve something worthwhile by sticking to it. Thousands of people have talents. But the question is how many of us have the patience to discover it through persistence and staying power? People who take risks invite failure but at the end it is success, when we stay with it. Henry Ford the car-maker said: “Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently”. When we take the plunge, few feel terrified but within a short time, we are able to do everything which we had set out to do. Confident self-talk helps us feel better to handle problems more easily. Words and sentences that imply that we are helpless and incapable or interpreting that things are worse than they actually are, feeds the person with potentially damaging ammunition creating negative thoughts and negative results”. Issaac Bashevis Singer wrote: “If you keep on saying that things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a Prophet”. Two qualities that are essential for bulding a happy and fulfilling life are Prayer and Patience. The challenge is to be Yourself in a world trying to make you like everyone else. To preserve individuality, we should avoid being a carbon copy or duplicate of someone whom we may admire.

" AAM INSAAN ya I M INSAAN? "

Ye duniya jism faroshi ka bazaar, jung ka maidaan, khooni samundar bankar reh gaya,
Jahan logon ki keemat unke paak dil se nai, unke shaatir dimaag se lagana reh gaya.
Tabhi to khuda bhi is paapi duniya me avatar lene se katra gaya…
Mujhse bola- ki kaise ye duniya satyug se kalyug banker reh gaya?,
Aur tu  aam insaan sirf sochta reh gaya?
Haath par haath dhare sirf dekhta reh gaya…?
Kyun tu kuch na kar saka????
Are jab tera hi ghar….
Ghar se makaan, makaan se khandahar, khandahar se deewaro ka dhancha ban kar deh gaya….
Aur tu e aam insaan sirf sehhta reh gaya?.....
Kuch na kar saka..Yunhi dekhta reh gaya?........
2day India's Republic ya Mari-Public..cause Democracy means Dde-Mohe-Kursi.

" Jab Hakumat pe yakin kho dungaa
  Tab apaney mukkadar ko dosh dunga
  Yeh kya Hifaazat karenge hamaari
  Dekh k lunga fir aankhe band kar lungaa "

Unforgetable reach...thats jeet

I can’t always explain my feelings
the way I want you to understand them
sometimes when we talk
there are so many beautiful
and intense feelings
that flow in and out of my soul for you
yet the words as I say them
never seem to allow those feelings to touch you.Today I found dese words
And realized that there are times
When we need to be silent
and allow the written
unspoken words to communicate
the hearts innermost passion.I love you
and want to open up so much more
of myself to you
I want to be just who I am
when I am with you
and never feel the need
to pretend to be anything more.I want us to feel the freedom
to express our needs and our hurts
without ever having
to raise the tone of our voices
I want us to fight for our love
and never consider being apart
as the answer to a problem.I want to reach a jeet with you
deep into the autumn of our lives
I never want us to forget to hold hands
when we walk together.
I want to tell you that being with you
is simply the best way
for me to spend my life
and I want you to know
that I love you today….
And for all of my tomorrows.

Smile-ism

There are people who have read many articles and watched many videos n pictures related to the people at Africa, Sudan, India, Cambodia, etc who are suffering from poverty, malnutrition, aids and many other such fatal diseases. I myself have read and watched those stuffs too and that made me cry like hell, took my sleep away for nights. Believe me it’s really heart wrenching to know what kind of pain those people are going through. But still, all we do is just say.. “Oh God! koi inke liye kuch karta kyun nahi?” “kya kisi ko inka dard nahi dikhta?” “sarkaar ko aisa karna chahiye unke k liye…..waisa karna chahiye…..ye kyun nahi karte log, waisa kyun nahi kiya logon ne…?” n so on. We do these kind of discussions at office cafeterias, college canteens, parks etc expressing our so called “concern”. But guys have we ever thought..”What can ‘I’ do for them?” Naah! Time kahan hai humare paas…hai na? Khud se fursat mile to na sochen..kyun? Aur waise bhi duniya me kitni problems hai…right from global warming to aids, from terrorism to food adulteration to global meltdown, from submissions of projects and assignments to patauing a gf/bf..pheeww! Ab itna kuch kaise bichare hum jhel sakte hai…ufff?! To thik hai….forget all the tensions…can you?..... Lo! Woh bhi nai hota….ab tension keh dene se to dur hoti nahi…right? Well then I would say…guys…keep aside your simple logics….n try to apply dil-logic instead. Just practice “Take it easy-policy”.. Huh! Ab isse humara kya faida hoga? Yaar kabhi to khud ke faide ki chodo…kyun itne selfish ho yaar? Actually sudhar to hum sakte nahi kyunki hum to hain hi selfish, to thik hai then lets Be selfish guys… Yup you read it right… “Be selfish…but in a positive sense and with a positive motive”. Like we all want to be happy, we all want to aquire wealth and rewards. Par when we try to be happy for ourselves…we find it difficult to even get a smile on our own. But guys you might have noticed..when you make others smile or laugh..you automatically get a smile on your face too. Ab jab kisi aur ko khush karke khud ko khushi milti hai…to kyun na wahi kare? Try to do anything…no matter how silly or intelligent it may seem, just to make someone smile…and am sure you’ll end up smiling too..hui na selfish act? It could be a phata-joke or a friendly prank or a comedy series you gift your folks such as “F.R.I.E.N.D.S”, any funny video or anything.. Just try to Be the reason for someone to smile….and trust me when you recollect all those incidents, you’ll be so full of life! For instance, I remember when I was a kid I used to go to my school from a bus, so while returning from school I loved to sit by the window of the bus, smile n wave my hands to the strangers whoever passed by and guess what? Those people used to reciprocate me the same..they used to smile n wave hands to me too..and I used to smile all the way home..lol! When I still recall those small yet sweet incidents..i just smile and that thought makes my day! There were so many things we used to do when we were kids..hai na? But I don’t know what has happened to us as we grew up…? Why we need to handle life so seriously all the time..? Why don’t we continue those silly pranks with our folks now? Actually it’s not just those people at some regions who are suffering from deadly things…..are miserable. But the reality is, we all are suffering from some or the other problem..and so somehow in our so called ‘beezee lives’ we often find it difficult to Smile even….! When we make others happy….. that happiness bounce back at us too and that is what our biggest rewards are.. to which no nobel prize can ever compare… You see nobody will ever remember how u look, how u speak or what you did, but only thing they remember life long about you is how you made them Feel..that’s reality! We just have to Try to make things lighter around us, speacially if the atmosphere is quite intense..For ex. If your friend is fighting with you, just stop for a second in between, think of something funny and say.. “yaar chill maar..! teri naak laal ho jati hai jab bhi tu gussa karti hai..” and see the reaction…you both will end up laughing. Well my point is..you don’t need to wear a clown’s costume n paint your face funny, to make someone smile.. you can do it in your day to day life just by doing something silly or funny.. it would make the other person happy..though just for a while, but it would surely make your day.. trust me! Like when you go to some ice-cream parlour and while enjoying with your friends you see a little girl in ragged clothes staring at you..then you can just buy an ice-cream and give it to her..she would be so happy that she would narrate the whole incident to her family and friends with immense happiness….can you believe it? Just one ice-cream can make that kiddo so happy? Well..big things come in small packages….n so does happiness! I feel we don’t need to join any organization like UNICEF or NGO’s etc to help others..because the people in need, cannot be just satisfied with money..but they also need someone just to care for them and make them smile. So lets become an organization ourselves..like Charlie Chaplin..he was a factory, generating happiness! No matter if we don’t have enough money to save them but atleast we can make them smile. Who knows..may be that smile do wonders? Even if we succeed in saving just one life….it would certainly fulfill the meaning of our lives to an extent. So friends, get your own happiness by creating a little happiness for others because when you are good to others..You are Best to yourself! Let this community be a medium where we all can meet and share all those silly-funny incidents of life we ever experienced which give us a smile everytime we recall them. Just try to take out 10 minutes to do so…everyday. Convert all our worries n tensions into a joke just for the sake of a smile..aftrall nobody wants to cry.. so why not Take it easy?? We can also share and discuss ideas of how we can spread this “Smile-ism” to others! Remember, whatever we give away, it returns back….so lets Be Selfish n make others happy and let that happiness bounce back to us in 3 folds!

" Kyu "

Kyun aise baithe ho…?
Kya meri yaadon aaj phir tumhari aankhen namm kar di?
Apne haatho se in aansuon ko ponch lo..
Ki ab mere haath tumhe chu nahi sakte..

Janta hun ki tum samajhte ho ki main tumse dur hun..
Nahi! E na samajh ye jism ka rishta to dhokha hai,
Aankhon ko moondkar mujhe mehsus to karo..
Meri rooh tumse juda nai hai,

Kyun aise baithe ho….?
Jao….So jao…
