RUbaRU...

Jindagi ki daud bhaag mein Khud ko dafan kar rakha tha
Har cheez yaha ab ‘chalti’ thi Har jazbaat baccha ke rakha tha

Ek din doosre ke jaisa hi tha, Bas sochna hi to chhoota tha
Hanso muskurao kuch kaho kabhi, Baaki sab bhula hi rakha tha

Aaj ataanak ek mod pe Apne kal se mulakaat hui
Itna dhakka laga dekh ke Kab kaise ye baat hui

Kal ne aaj se ya poocha ’Tu kaun hai, hai kya naam tera?’
Aaj itna hairaan sa tha ’ye kaun hai, kya lagta hai mera?’

Bola ‘Kya sach mein hum do ek hi hain Ek sikke ke do pehlu?
Ya phir tu kuch aur hai shayad Mujhse hai anjaan jo tu?’

Kal bola – ’hoon main bhi hairaan Tujhsa to kabhi na ban na tha
Kahan gayi woh masoomiyat Jispe naaz main karta tha?’

‘Kaise main batayoon dost Kya kya maine hai dekh liya
Ab to apne hi saaye ka kal hoga na saath hai ye soch liya

Is duniya ke dard se Khudko bacha ke rakha hai
Dukh se chupne ki hod mein hi Dil ki chuppi ka rasta dhoondha hai

Na hoga ehsaas aur na hi dard, ab sab kuch ’theek hi’ lagta hai
Dimaag se bas kaam liya Iss dil mein waise bhi kya rakha hai’

Kal bola – ’ja bas aur na bol, tujhpe sharam si aati hai
Tu to kabhi darpok na tha, ye kya hui barbaadi hai

Dil na hoga to pyaar nahi, pyaar bina duniya hi kya
Aise nahi karte hai dost, bin dard ke jeena hi kya

Jeena hai to aise ji, ki jab maut aaye tujhe
Tu soche wah kya khub jiya – sab kiya jo karna tha mujhe’

Starting Over...

In life, beginings and ends form such a crucial part of living - never have i realised it more than in the last month or so. Both personally and professionally - too many things are ending and too many new ones are beginning. Its very easy to get nostalgic about whats ended - easier still to forget that it was us who wanted that stage to end ourselves. All because somewhere or the other in our heart - we're scared of the next stage... scared of not being sure... maybe of not having the comfort of belonging - like how we did earlier. Leaving aside the personal changes - professionally, after working for 14 years non-stop, i quit. To the world - i've taken a 'break'. No plans, No hidden cards (yes i got told that by quite a few), No waiting-by-the-side offers... just needed to not feel fatigued in life and figured that it IS after all, MY OWN LIFE... so i can do what feels right to me... without guilt, or feeling irresponsible, or even just guilt of being lazy!! Its my go...

Its Father's Day today...

Its quite strange that for a society like ours which thrives and survives on family values - we never had these 'days' as a part of our culture. not that it means that we dont value these relations - just that i would have loved to have more days to celebrate these lovely relations! its the same as having a birthday - its not that you dont love that person the rest of the 364 days - but that day makes him/her feel extra special!! and what's life if not a collection of these small moments of feeling 'special' to someone... so am all for all these 'days' - tho' pls i do draw a line at celebrating 'boss day'!!! :-) Anyways - back to the topic "My Daddy Strongest!!" - this line never failed to make me smile everytime i saw it on TV... Its always strange for me to describe my relation with my dad... am the youngest of 3... dad was 38 when i was born... busy struggling to keep a roof over the family's head having left his family business ...

Being single at 35

“How does it feel?” – is a question some of the long-married friends of mine have asked me from time to time and more so recently. Maybe now that some of them have started approaching their 10th anniversaries – maybe its playing on their minds more than before! :-) And I have always believed that the old idiom of ‘grass being greener on the other side’ applies to women more than men!! We always seem to want or at least be intensly curious about whatever’s out of our reach! But to get back to the question being asked… how DOES it feel being single at 35? I don’t know if I can answer it actually – becoz then I need to know how else it could have felt at 35!! It feels bloody normal to me right now… :-) Maybe not what I expected it to feel at 35 – but this is how it is. It feels strange sometimes to have friends talk about their 9 yr old kids… It feels pretty normal to have enough free time to do what catches my fancy… It feels normal to never complain about ‘me’ time… Its strange to come ...
