The saddest love story!!

You were always an unknown person. You liked yourself to remain a mystery, didn't like to share anything about you with anyone. Your joy, your pain, your suffering, your happiness were always untold. And this was the way you had been living your life. A simple but precious life.
Then one day, a person walks into your life. They don't just want to talk to you, they want to know you. They want to know all your secrets, all your troubles, all your likings. They want to unfold the mystery. They ask you, what happened that day, you looked desolate. They ask you, what makes you sad, what makes you happy, are you alright?
Suddenly your life revitalized. Now you are not that mystery to everyone, there is a person who knows everything about you. There is a person who is crazy about you.There is a person who loves you. And then you cannot survive a single day without sharing a thing or two about yourself to that special person.
Now you came to know about a different type of joy that you had never experienced before.
You are happiest.
One day, that person decides to leave. Decides not to continue knowing you anymore, not to continue loving you anymore. Suddenly your life has taken a back, that special person is not around you anymore. That person has gone now. Everything becomes still. Now again, you are alone, there's no one around you to share a thing or two about yourself.  You are unable to hear the sound of the wind, the waves which you have always rejoiced
But now you don't want to be a mystery. Now you do like to share things about you. Now you want to be loved, to be cared. Unfortunately, you again become an unknown person.

Dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi

A Poem by Gulzar Dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi, jis tarah shaakh se toray hue ek pattay ka rang mand par jata hai kuch roz alag shaakh se reh kar shaakh se toot kar yeh dard jeeye ga kab tak? khatam ho jayegi jab is ki rasad, tim-timayega zara der ko bujhtay-bujhtay, aur phir lambi si ek sans dhuan ki le kar khatam ho jayega, yeh dard bhi, bujh jayega. dard kuch der hi rehta hai, bahut der nahi...                                                                             - gulzar

Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan!

I completed my three years in the USA. The previous three years of my precious late 20s and early 30s have been gone just like that. At times, I feel like I'm too hard on myself. I should be content with what I have accomplished, but there is always more to learn and always more to gain! I hate this feeling, to be honest. I hate being in the constant feeling of what could have been better! Don't you think we should just stop striving for more? Stop dreaming about earning more money; stop getting lured for promotions. But then what is there to live if there isn't more? This thought has been a constant conflict for me. To stop or not to stop, that is the question! When I was around 15, my mother used to say, "Tu jaldi bada ho gya" meaning, "I have grown up early." I was very mature for my age and started looking at life very differently than my peers. All I wanted was "Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Aasmaan," but nowadays, I find myself in the same rat ra...

Two Lives!

Have you ever felt as though you've lived two lives? Wait, listen to me first before judging; by two lives, I mean not at the same time or two faces. What I mean is past lives, again not as in the past life before birth but past life like a few years ago. In the sense that certain parts of your life were so vastly different, yet eerily similar. It's as if you're living a whole new existence, but with the same events and experiences playing out.  Having done with defining the complex definition, I believe I have lived 2 lives.  First, when I was a child, I played, studied, went to college, learned, found a job, worked in Mumbai, and had ups and downs and all the emotions one can have in a lifetime. I faced it all. And then I moved to the US, and it was like my life had been reset. I again went to a university, studied, found a job, faced ups and downs, and started working again. Probably because I have a terrible memory, but to me, I consider the events before 2020 a part of...
