Jaane kyun?

Jaane kyu aajkal ek bechaini si rehti hain,

Jo mera ho nahin sakta...

Usse paane ki chahat si rehti hain.

Najaane har waqt kuch darr sa lagta hain,
kahin door jake rone ka man karta hain.

kahin kuch khaali sa hain,
Jo bharta nahin...

Ek dard jaane kiska,
Jo kam hota nahin...

Suna hain waqt hi sabse bada marham hota hain,
Phir aisi kya baat hain, ki ye mujhpe asar karta nahin.

Ud jaane do!

Us din ko dhal jaane do,
Un hassi raaston ko guzar jaane do.
Jin galiyon ne kabhi apnaya na tha,
Un yaadon ka na poochon pata.

In ashkon me dube hue lafzon ke sahi,
Ya khamoshi me sisakti hui aahon ke sahi.


Jo nasha kisiko kho ke jeene me hain,
Jo dhua chand hassraton ko na paane ki jalan me hain.

Ud jaane do!
Ud jaane do, unhe hawaa me....
Sunsaan raahon me nikal jaane do!

Dreams & Aspirations.

Throughout our lives we meet and see innumerable people. They come and go, fading into obscurity and unimportance as we continue to grow. However, the few who remain challenge this fact of life and carve their own image into our persona. My father has been this image of inspiration as I have grown from a girl to an adult. Traveling from a small town, he had a dream not to become rich and famous, but to live a life full of happiness. He yearned not for elegance and luxury, but for a loving family with whom he could share his days. From an early age my father was the symbol of guidance and support for his younger brothers and sisters, showering his grace over his siblings in order to support them in their endeavors. Through hard work and dedication he always dreamt of supporting the family by securing a government job hence to become an engineer was my father’s ultimate ambition.

It is this unbreakable resolve to strive for success that drives my own will to achieve my dreams. Although he didn't able to have a great education, it is my desire to attain that for him. He has always told me to challenge myself regardless of the difficulty or struggle. Unlike other parents, he cared more for the continual demand that coexists with the harder courses rather than the grades I may receive. My father has taught me to take the rockier trail rather than the newly paved one. Even in times of hardship watching him strugling, he continued to convey his hard working approach to life. Not only has my father influenced the morals and ethics that I adhere to, he is also leaving his imprints on my life, creating a person who will not labor for himself, but for others.

These are some lines which I wrote for him:

He was young, he had dreams and aspirations.

He saw the world before him and wanted to conquer all of it.

I was young, his dreams and aspirations changed.

He saw the world before him and realized he had everything.

I grew and he watched.

He guided and I listened.

Now I see the world before me.

He is old, now I am where he once was.

I will grow old, I will be where he is now.

And I can only hope I will be able to teach a child of my own the world is full of everything they will ever want.

Our bond is more than blood.

Our bond is beyond when our hearts stop..!!

Divine

Don't you think there is something which lies beyond our imagination,
somewhere which connects us to some spiritual power,
in itself which is pious, beautiful and blissful.
It's about belief.... the trust!
It's about practice.... the devotion!
It defines an individual... a 'reflection' of the soul!

Amour

“You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see,
but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want
to feel !!”


I’m not a girl that thinks a guy is the answer
I’m just tired of being alone and single. I’m convincing myself,
Yes I’ll find someone, I won’t be alone, I guess it’s just going to
take some time, but I’ll be Okay.


You know that feeling you get when you start to realize you're
alone, when you just wake up one day and snap out of some
trance you've been in. It's like that rude awakening from the
cold air. Well, it hit me today and I see a world paired off
leaving me the odd one out.

And now after couple of days I feel like no one wants me or
that I’m not even there when it comes to liking someone. They
just don’t seem to care and I'm tired of not being enough for
them….one thing is for sure the Guys I have met in my life so
far are fucking Jerks!!!!


When I look around all I see is couples holding tight. stealing
kisses when they think no one is watching. OH Gawd! how I wish I could be her.. I want to be that one just to know that someone is there and someone could care about me also. I wouldn't mind holding hands or going on dates.


I need a Man... A True Guy, one who looks real tough but
won’t make me cry. That kind of person who understands even
when he’s with his boys and says....baby, Hold my hand!
Being his girl if somebody says something about me he’ll stick
up for me and kick their asses off.


I just want that one person that can make me smile when
I’m crying and will laugh at my jokes even when they’re not
funny. Who hold me tight, kiss me, look at me and say 'I love
you unconditionally' and actually mean it with all my heart.
Someone who isn’t afraid to act like himself around me
and for me to be able to act like myself around him
someone to cuddle with and make me feel wanted
someone to love… and someone to love me!

all I need someone that’s nice and so damn fine so I can tell
my girls.. Yep, he's mine!!

A Cup Of Tea !

When we are lonely we have tea,
When we are tired we have tea,
When we are with friends we have tea,
When we are doing fun we have tea!!
There are innumerable facets of tea. Don't you think there is something quite fascinating about tea. I guess that's why we usually have it at least two times a day.
From the 'cutting chai' of Mumbai to the 'kadak chai' of Delhi, in every corner "whenever their is something missing Chai manages to fill the empty cup of our lives and moods." I wonder when this concept of tea drinking and tea culture has evolved and became as a tradition.

I just love ginger tea and Indian chai is my all time favourite. Although I was never a tea person infact a coffee freak but now, today I need my tea in a big 'coffee mug' to jump start my day.. No small cups for me!!
There is nothing better than the rich essence of an 'aroma tea', delicious as 'masala tea' and so refreshing and rejuvenating as 'cinnamon tea.'

As the tea brews, so do the secrets! with friends and family we do share our secrets, life and several talks to the simple pleasures just over a cup of tea. Tea lovers can go on and on, these moments are the best sweeteners of tea.

I live in a country where tea is popular all over as a breakfast and evening drink. People interact with tea and socialize over a cup of tea, we certainly do have a great history with tea, where offering it to visitors is like a culture in the society. Every Indian have tea in their 'Rashan list', here tea is a 'cup of life' and its simplicity appeals to me.

Its a saying and now I find it so true that 'all true tea lovers not only like their tea strong, but like it a little stronger with each year that passes..' don't you think??

In autumn and winter I find a nice cup of tea is the best companion. Whether we call it a stress-buster, a great anti-oxidant or a source of instant energy, tea has always been a favourite beverage.

So what better way to start your day, time to go and have some tea...the hotter the better!

What women want !!

Really! What do women want? Isn't this one of the most challenging questions of all time..?

I thought "what men want" would be difficult, but this is even harder....

No one can profess to have an complete understanding about the emotions, feelings and thoughts of a woman. Women is a most complex creature that we have on this globe and sometimes I really wonder if we know "what we really want?"

Its not easy to know at times we stop and think about it... especially when we might have list of things we may wish to have or want.

Often times we feel very lonely and insecure even in the best of relationships, whether with friends, family or partners and some times it becomes so unbearably painful that changes our behaviour and drowned us into negativity or numbness.

"what is the real want..? 
what is the priority of it..? and
how it progresses with in one's mind, choices and acts it derives it..?"

Since happiness is a state of Equilibrium of mind and Soul, by self choices or beliefs. Once you reach that equilibrium, happiness is attained !!Every body says we don't have to keep searching for it
but if I am still searching then what i would say...


Am I running on the wrong track? or Am I confused?

Well still I am wondering and trying to figure out this quest !!
