Aye Zindagi Hui Kahan Bhool...

"Aye zindagi hui kahan bhool jiski humein mili ye saza, kahan se kahan laayi tu humein, hum se hai tu kitni khafa.."


Whenever I hear these lines in Kishore Da's poignant voice, a pierce goes right through my heart, and suddenly, I don't feel anything, just numbness all around.


Life is really uncertain. Sometimes I feel everything is falling apart, and sometimes, it feels like I am making progress every second. I knew about this for years, but now this has become a constant in my life.

 

I don't know what life wants exactly, good relations, money, happiness, sadness, pleasures, pains? There are so many things to do but so little time. And I really don't know what to achieve and what to lose.


There are just way too many things to do than gazing over the night sky without worrying about anything. There was a time when I just used to walk on the roof for hours listening to the songs, and watching the night sky, stars, and moon. But now, I keep reminding myself of everything that needs to be done.


"Taaron ko dekhte rahen chhat par pade hue.." - Become a distant dream.

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

Change

Lately, I have been thinking about “Change” as it’s appearing that a lot of things around me is changing. So Is change good or it’s highly unfortunate that it’s happening. The question is divine. But here’s the thing “Change Is Inevitable”, it has to happen. What most people fail to realize, typically until it’s very late in the game, is that change happens to us whether we like it or not, remember its Inevitable. Change is not that bad actually for examples I made a short list of the things that change over time and we really need these changes : 1. Weather 2.  Fashion 3. A n era  4.  Perspective 5.  Habits 1. Weather What if the weather  doesn't  change, it remains constant. Imagine it’s raining throughout the year, God, what a dreadful idea or consider you’re perspiring for like full 365 days a year ,  and now people start greetings each other like Hey Sweaty What’s up. So it's good that  weather  changes. ...

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...
