Main khud hi khud ki hamsafar...

Apni zameen main hoon khud
Aasmaan bhi main
Apni pyaas bhi main hi hoon
Uss pyaas ki raahat bhi main

Khud ki khushi to hoon hi
Apna hi hoon gam bhi
Rakshak main hi to hoon apni
Aur shayad apni hi bhakshak bhi

Bhanwar mein fassi bhi main hoon
Bachne ka sahara bhi
Iss safar ka aagaaz bhi main hoon
Aur safar ka anjaam bhi

Dhoop se tadpana bhi mujhe hai
Thandak ki chaaya bhi main
Raste ki thokar bhi main hoon
Sahara liye ek haath bhi main

Raat ka andhera hoon main
Chandani ki roshni bhi hoon
Savere ki thandak hoon main
Aur dhoop ki tadpan bhi hoon

Main hi manzil hoon khud apni
Main hi hoon apna safar bhi
Main hi karwaan iss safar ka
Uss karwaan mein main tanha bhi

Main hi khud ki hamsafar hoon
Hoon apni hi saheli bhi
Kab kaise main ban gayi
Khud apni hi parchhayi bhi…

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 ...

Chauvinism rears its head again...

Maybe had just got spoilt with the lull on this front ... but when faced with an in-ur-face display of chauvinism happened, i was yet again caught by surprise! why do i keep getting surprised still after so many years, i dont know... maybe am just too slow in my head!! ;-) in my head - an educated, corporate professional who's been in existence in this current world scenario - when asked 'do your sisters work?' DOES NOT reply with an 'of course not!' in my head - the above described person DOES NOT insist on 'homely' (read : non-working) as a pre-requisite for his life-partner! in my head - the above described person is fictional!! :o) but no - with my luck - trust me to run into this person... and since i firmly believe that there's always a reason why anything happens in life... i shall aim to look for reasons here as well... 1. had to remember the lessons learnt in body language (limp handshake = limp mind and who knows limp what else!!) he he!! 2. h...

Rambling on... again..
