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’

If Only's...

Isn't everyone's life incomplete without at least a few of these 'If Only's...'? :-) life would be absolutely stupidly boring if we didnt have those moments of reflection where we could go 'if only...' followed with a deep deep heartfelt sigh!! To me having these moments reassure me - tell me that am not just human, but also a person capable of learning from my past... If Only i had not given up easily on the first job offer i got.. just because my family didnt want me to stay away alone... If Only I had persisted and learnt singing the way i wanted to... just because i was too lazy to do the bus trips to mandi house... If only i had learnt swimming early enuf.. i wud have enjoyed australia that much more... If only i hadnt made an ego issue out of a simple fight with a friend... and instead gone back and apologized... If Only the guy i had a huge crush on - reciprocated my feelings... ;-) and so on and so forth... am sure its easy enuf to guess that the lis...

Solitude...

"The Loneliness sometimes overtakes the freedom of solitude" ... This line written by a friend in a mail to me this morning pretty much summed up what i was feeling i guess - but cudnt really pin down myself. Being on your own has a whole lot of addictive plusses i guess... which i realized last week when i was 24*7 with my family in an extremely high emotional and physical stress environment. The craving i felt for my own bed and my own house - on my own - was almost scary. Havent really felt like that before... but then havent really spent so much non-stop time with others (even family) in a long while. I felt like possibly an addict feels in the initial days of being in a rehab!! ;-) i was dreaming of silence... of sitting down at a place and not having to make conversation... of waking up because i wasnt sleepy anymore and not because i 'had to'... of having whatever expression suited me rather than being aware of what my face gives away! and then i got all that i...
