Let it be my way!!



When I first looked at this picture, it did appeal to me a lot.
But, to be really frank -my first thoughts regarding this piece of work was the similar and most often thought of -" a regular journey of a common man."  And at some point of time, yes it is a regular journey of a common man-who has been working days and nights for his/her livelihood, lost in their own thoughts as if continuously living a monotonous life. Every morning when he opens his eyes after a sound sleep, comes back to his senses is a list of duties and responsibilities. Perhaps, all of us might have seen someone working in a similar fashion around.
So, it's a part of a day in a common man's life.
But on a second thought, it just reminded me of  a destination followed by many of us. No, I am not referring to the Metro but the same old route which everyone takes up to go.
On a stage which actually I have been through and have seen too, people have a tendency to flow with the mass. When I refer a metro, it saves time and fuel-efficient. Every one accommodates his/her place to have a secure and safe journey. People on the way, might be of jolly or serious nature, but on an individual basis everyone is pacing up to get their respective goals. Doesn't that seem a much known trend followed??
We get the calculated response-- >
Q. What do you want to be?
A. ( A well prepared ans.) Engineer, Doctor or may be something which again follows the so called  " Trend".
I don't say that everyone does that or rather everyone does that knowingly. But, my whole and sole point is that everyone has a friendly gesture towards the things which can be done at ease.
Why would anyone, as a matter of fact, be the cause of his/her own misery?
Still amidst the crowd you would witness in a local compartment of a local train, you might actually be overwhelmed to see a person willingly offer his seat to someone really in need of one.
Although, we all are in the same lane moving ahead to a brighter future, somehow, somewhere exists in all of us a desire to be different, yet travelling in the same followed path.
But, when the path is more travelled, there is a wider hope of getting to a destination which is known  and  explored.
But with technology, comes a way to reach and develop our own paths and destination.
I hope someday, each one of us, gets there happily.
In spite of the thousands of people travelling, amidst them I might be the one still wondering
which path to follow and rather what really is my destination ?
If even you have witnessed such a situation, join me to say- "  What if it's a familiar lane, I can still turn it my way."

Endings!!


"Jo beet gyi,so baat gyi
Jeevan Main Ek Sitara Tha
Maana Vah Behad Pyara Tha
Vah Doob Gaya To Doob Gaya
Ambar Kay Aanan Ko Dekho
Kitne Iskay Taare Toote
Kitne Iskay Pyare Choote
Jo Choot Gaye Fir Kahan Mile
Par Bolo Toote Taaron Par
Kab Ambar Shok Manata Hai
Jo Beet Gayi So Baat Gayi"



These are one of my favourite lines from Harivansh Rai Bacchan.The lines talk about the essence of endings.
So what if it ends-we do have to move on.
So what-if things turn out badly, we will still try to figure it out and make sure the end is perfect.
Shakespeare once said, " All is well, that ends well."But,sometimes it just ends.


 Talking about endings, and not going too much melodramatic over it,let me begin.
Endings as we know can be for anything-
for a relationship or for a phase.Just like our school life ended, there was fear of entering a totally unfamiliar lane with unknown people and surroundings. But, I guess it turned out to be a bliss. Sometimes, the things which seem to be the most dreadful of all might be in your greatest favour.Who knows when destiny engulfs you and embrace you.
To be very specific, I am a little afraid of the new life which I am going to have, little more afraid of parting away from my loved ones and the worst fear is not seeing them ever again. But, so far what I have learnt in this life is - "when you fear to lose something, it really must have mattered to you lot." May be fear of losing is God's way of letting you know that you care enough to hold on.
No matter what, if your journey was short and sweet and ends on a peaceful note, it should never be regretted.
I thought about writing more, but even this seemed appropriate.So, what's wrong with the endings?
Perhaps, nothing!! Everyone has a role in someone's life to let the lesson be learnt thoroughly, and when the part is played it ends.

Appreciating the ends for a better tomorrow!!

When you go marching side by,
Things bothering you definitely come along..
Jingling with the  sunshine,
still waiting for the moments,
But, when the wait is too long,
Patience hyped,
What a subtle mind recalls-
is just the good old days--
which never incommode,
where fears were not horrifying..

I wish--
When I go marching by,
sidelines too merge,
as if celebrating,
things go high,
and I am not exaggerating..

No More Empty Promises!!



I sat ideally with the busy bee panache,
And yet there pinched the beauty of  decorum,
feting the Valentine week.
So,the day is termed as The Promise Day,
and I opted to diverge.
With each year's promises,
I tend to furcate.
The ramification commences,
This time my heart and my mind accord to say
and leave all empty promises mid way.
They say no to being anything "Forever",
For I know there is nothing like it.
The outlook alters
due to that elusive thing the soul !!
However vicious  may it sound ,
Being rational enough !!
Saying adieu to all false promises,
burning away the needless loss of anticipation..
urging to let actions not speculate wordsplay.
Thus,Saying  no to all empty promises!!!

Note-Special thanx to Manisha Sangwan #behind_inspiration.

Sunk..


Keen to understand,
But failing every time,
What is it that differentiates my heart from my mind?
Still not sure of it..
Is it the beauty which  heartsease .
Personified they are for just a brief instance,
I know it's insane,
without vanity and pain..
Do I still wander around,
For just that pure sound,
Vociferating ,exhausting and exaggerating!!!!!

Convo 2011


It drills me hard,
to know the lack of oeuvre,
it suddenly rises and reaches all statures,
and all of a sudden,
comes into action,
amusing and Gratifying moments.

With dew, dusk and light,
It's just the simple things in life!
