Kuch Kuch Mere Jaisa


Kuch Kuch Mere Jaisa (कुछ कुछ मेरे जैसा... )

*******************
Jhurriyan thi dikhne lagi
Thi safedi naye baalo mein
Par surat thi jaani pehchani
Chamak wahi thi aankhon mein

Main fark nahi kar paya
Tu tasweer tha ya tha Aks mera
Sapna tha, sach ke jaisa tha
Tu kuch kuch mere jaisa tha

Tamanna hai dhun purani phir se sunne ke
Khwahish hai phir ek bar bachpan bunne ki

*******************

*******************

झुर्रियाँ थी दिखने लगी
थी सफ़ेदी नए बालों में
पर सूरत थी जानी पहचानी
चमक वही थी आँखों में

मैं फर्क नही कर पाया
तू तस्वीर था या था अक्स मेरा
सपना था, सच के जैसा था
तू कुछ कुछ मेरे जैसा था

तमन्ना है धुन पुरानी फिर से सुनने के
ख्वाहिश है फिर एक बार बचपन बुनने की

Institution overlooked : Marriage !

For so many years it seemed that life was smooth, and over all these years we suddenly realized, that we have grown up, we are losing our innocence, we are losing our fun to do things. We'll be missing schools, and moving to colleges, and again to post graduations, getting a job, earning handsome salary and finally getting settled. What's next? The marriage!!

Why is it that marriage is a huge word in itself !!?? Why are people so scared of getting married?? What bothers them to respect this institution?? What is it that scares them from the inside that urges them to call it off someday?? 

All these questions may arise in the head of anyone who is a suitable bachelor or spinster; and their family is either trying to find a soul mate for them, or else they are already in relationship with someone. And yet they find it difficult to accept and take this relationship to the next level!!

The one word answer to these questions is Commitment!! People these days lack commitment. They lack the tag of being unconditionally attached to someone. Every person who comes into your life is in need of something. This person will come for a while, see things around, change it as suitable to him/her, and then moves on, saying, “It seems you have changed a lot!!” At first they say, “Be yourself.” and later they judge you for that. WOW!! People these days are lacking the true essence of life, called LOVE!! They are not finding what they need in a person. At first it seems as if we are the best thing that ever happened to them, and then they start find faults, as to what the person lacks. 

In the old days, couples hardly met before marriage. And yet their marriage lasted for all their life. Just because they had a notion that marriage is an institution and one must surrender completely with full commitment and be with each other in their entire life ...But now feelings have been replaced by Conditions Apply*!!
We all need a reality check as to how we treat our partners. We need a counsel that bridges the gaps created by the differences between the two. Shouldn't we owe them for all the years when they accepted us, or may be for the years to come? How many times did we say a thank-you and brought a smile on each other's face?? 

Life is too busy. Hence we need to find times for them who are worth it, and acknowledge it. We need to make them realize that their presence can make a huge difference in ours, before we realize it's very late. Remember, it's never too late!! Life is a temporary phase. We must make our life as happening as early as we can so that it’s not just good for us but for the people around us too. What's better than making life less difficult for each other??
Stop wasting time in thinking too much. Got an idea? Then go make it happen!! Life is too short for craving for things that was never meant to be ours...instead enjoying and living in the moment ...you never know it might never come back !!...Stay blessed all!! O:) :)

Phir Kyun

Phir Kyun

Jab neend nahi aati thi
Usne lori sunakar sula diya
Phir kyun maine us Maa ko
Apni vyatha sunakar rula diya

Jab god bithakar, khub khilakar
Paath sikhakar bada kiya
Phir kyun maine us Maa ko
Apni vyatha sunakar rula diya

Mere har sukh ke liye usne
Jab saara jeevan luta diya
Phir kyun maine us Maa ko
Apni vyatha sunakar rula diya

Jab do pal ko bhi main uski
Aankho se ojhal hota tha
Mujhe yad hai tab kaise usne
Poori duniya ko hila diya

Mere ek ghaav ne bhi uski
Chinta ke diye ko jala diya
Phir kyun maine us Maa ko
Apni Vyatha sunakar rula diya

Vaada karta hun main
Tere har aansu ka karz chukaunga
Sailaab bhi aa jayega par
Maa tujhe nahi rulaunga
Kabhi nahi rulaunga...
