Yaad..

Dhuwon mei, dhuwon si.. dhundhli...
gubbaro si phooli.. barso se bhooli...
suraj ki pehli kiran si ujali..
waqt ki karwato se badli..
thodi sookhi.. thodi.. gili.
pehli unsuljhi si woh paheli...
woh yaad sajili..

dhool mei san kar khili hui..
ghootno chal kar khadi hui...
ladkhada kar gir kar.. sambhli hui..
daud kar bhaag kar thami hui..
mudd kar dekha toh..
wahi.. buss wahi ruki.. hui..
woh yaad, woh baat thand mei jami hui...

pahiya aagey ghoom raha..
woh peechhe chhoot rahi..
dhoop ke padne se..
os ki boonde sookh rahi..
mai aagey sarkta ja raha..
woh haath hilaati khadi rahi...

Baadal Baarish aur ziandagi..

बादलो के नीचे..
बारिशो के बीच..
कुछ ख्वाब थे पले..
पर ज़िन्दगी कुछ दूर..
बस थोड़ी दूर.. है चले...

काले थे बादल..
घिरा था आसमान..
ख्वाब थे अनगिनत..
भरा था अभिमान..

खुला है मौसम..
दूर तक दीखता है सब...
बारिश जो होती है अब..
याद आता है सब..
पाँव पड़े है ज़मीन पे..
और उड़ते थे तब..

पंख तो आज भी है..
फैलाना नहीं चाहते..
प्यार जिनसे करते है..
उनको सहमाना नहीं चाहते..

वो बादल आज भी..
कुछ खवाबो को पालते होंगे..
वो बारिश आज भी..
कुछ अरमान भिगाती होगी..
कुछ साल में ज़िन्दगी फिर ज़मीन पे आती होगी..
और फिर पंख फैला के उड़ जाती होगी...

ज्यादा मत सोचो.. मुझे भी नहीं पता मैं ऊपर क्या लिखा क्या नहीं... बस मन किया और लिख दिया... :)

TIME Saved or Spent??

OK. So back to the most enigmatic entity for me - TIME.

So, all our life we keep on battling to save this TIME.
- Some want to save this TIME to spend it with his/her family.
- Some want to save this TIME so that they can watch the God Damn Cricket Match.
- Some want to save this TIME to spent some more of it on making more fortune.
- After all TIME is money, everybody wants to save it - obvious.

In the quest of saving TIME, man invented various machines. Now, we have a machine for everything. Starting from needle to a satellite in space everything is machine, all intrinsically designed and developed to save TIME for mankind.

I just so feel that we CAN NOT SAVE TIME, at the very max we can just use the TIME right now that we would have had in future. TIME has its own time and you just cant save it or spend it on your own will.

Did not understand what I just said? Well me too!. But here is what my thinking is:
If we have to travel on foot, without any machine from Delhi to London it might have take us - some 10 years (Gosh, I dont know if 10 years is good approximate). But now with hi-speed planes it takes around  10 hours (again dont know if this is correct). So, in a way we saved 9 years, 364 days and 14 hours. WOW!! But, wait wait wait, did we actually saved that much? or did we used 9 years, 364 days and 14 hours from future, which mankind would have had if there had been no planes and hence no ill-effect on our mother nature.

With all the cars/planes/machines we are saving time today but that in turn is having irreparable impact on the future of the mankind. The fact is we are not saving any time but we are spending time in the future. Since, I live in a country like India, can feel this ever so strongly. We do not have clean water to drink, we do not have fresh air to breathe, glaciers are melting, rivers are polluted, rains doesnt come - if it does - then more then needed, where is this all pointing to? To me it looks like mankind has already spent a lot of TIME of its own future today and in past and hence not much of TIME is left in future, isnt it??

Obviously, I have called TIME a enigmatic entity, so my thoughts are not clear and are confused but I will keep on delving in this :).

Muskaati aankhen...

बड़ी बड़ी वो आँखें उनकी..
मुस्काती मटकाती ...
काली काली वोह आँखें उनकी...
झुक झुक के शर्माती...


कभी झपक के ..
कभी मचक के..
सब कुछ वो कह जाती...
प्यार भी उनका...
उनका गुस्सा... सब मुझको दिखालती...


घूर घूर के कभी डराती..
कभी.. सिमट के बस हंस जाती...
बड़ी बड़ी वो आँखें उनकी...
मुस्काती मटकाती...


आँखों से बातें..
और आँखों में रातें...
सब मुझको दिखलाती...
गहरी गहरी सागर सी...
नित नए फूल खिलाती ..


कभी  आइना  बन जाती ..
तो कभी तस्वीर दिखलाती ...
बड़ी बड़ी वोह आखें उनकी...
मुस्काती मटकाती ...


पायल की छन छन ...
घुंघरू की घन घन...
न जाने कैसे कैसे साज़ बजाती...
कभी  नाचती  ... इठलाती .. और  
कभी धीमे से लजा जाती ...


बड़ी बड़ी वो आँखें उनकी...
मुस्काती मटकाती...

bus yun hi..

कभी कभी तन्हाइया  भी बहुत कुछ कह जाती है... 
कभी शोर भी चुप रह जाता है... 
हम चाह कर भी कुछ कह नहीं पाते... 
और वक़्त बस यूँ ही सरकता जाता है...


कभी कुछ dhundte रहते है हम कही..
कभी कुछ और ही मिल जाता है..
अभी न समझे हम कीमत जिसकी..
यह सरकता वक़्त समझा जाता है..


बस कभी देर सी हो जाती है ..
कभी हम जल्दी ही चाहते हैं...
जीवन की आपा धापी में...
हम कुछ खुशिया खोते जाते हैं...


यह वक़्त सरकता जाता है...
और हम कही पीछे रह जाते है...
आगे बढ़ना चाहे भी तो ...
कभी धक्का सा लग्ग जाता है...


कभी मन का बच्चा जागता है..
कभी बूढ़ा सा हो जाता है...
उछल कूद करता है कभी...
कभी लाठी ले के चलता है...

चाहो तो खुश हो लो...

चाहे रोलो धोलो...

पर यह वक़्त यूँही बस यूँही सरकता जाता है...

Thodi Sargam - Thoda Gana...

बुनता सा एक ताना बाना,
थोडी है सरगम थोडा है गाना.
किसी अपने का परिवार में आना ,
और किसी का घर से जाना..
ऐसे - जैसे गुनगना..
जैसे पीली सरसों लह लहाना..
जैसे वीणा का कानो में बजना..
जैसे कुछ सपनो को जीना..
 
कभी थोडा बुदबुदाना..
कभी खुल के खिल खिलाना..
राम का नाम जपते जाना..
कुछ सवालो को बुनते जाना..
कुछ उत्तर मिलते जाना..
एक नया आबू दाना बनते जाना..
उधेड़ बुन का यह बाना ताना..
थोडी है सरगम थोडा है गाना.

Everything that has a beginning has an end

"Everything that has a beginning has an end"
The quote above everyone must have read a numerous number of times, in fact we all know this inside in our hearts as well and to be honest it seems so true too.
I happen to read this quote once again on my friend's Facebook page... yet again! but this time I some how was not completely agreeing with this thought..

If you think closely, there would be few things - mostly intangible or something that physically does not exist but whose existence can be felt, do have a beginning but they may not end, or we do not know if they have an end..

Few such things to point out:
Whole Numbers/ Natural Numbers: They start at 0 and ends at nothing.
Distance between earth and sky: It starts from earth and ends at nothing, thats because sky is nothing but space, space in itself probably has no start and end but, for us as humans living on earth, space starts outside the environment of environment of earth.
Love: When 2 have never met, they obviously do not love each other. Then they meet and fall in love, love blossoms(starts), but does that love ever end? I feel no!
Death: Death in itself starts but where does it end? I feel no where, once you are dead you remain dead forever making death endless!!

There may be many more "things" that may have beginning but no end.

Now once we have seen that things may start but do not end, we can say that there are three types of things:
1. Which have a start and an end.
2. Which have a start but not an end.
3 Which do not have start and they do not have an end.

I am bound to call the first type of things as Life. Second type of things are nothing but similar to death and third - they must be beyond life and death... it should be God.

I do not know what came in my mind, just wanted to post my my thoughts out.
Thoughts - do they have begining? or do they have an end? Its an open question... I have no answer to...
