क्या हम सचमुच इतने बड़े हो गए है ???

विदेश से 15 साल बाद अपने गाँव आकर बड़ा अच्छा लग रहा था. बहुत ज्यादा कुछ नहीं बदला था...... सड़के अभी भी आधी कच्ची ही थी. ..... बच्चो को अभी भी पढाई के लिए शहर जाना पड़ता है ......मैंने अपने 3 हफ्ते का प्रोग्राम कुछ इस तरह से बनाया था के मैं अपने सब पुराने दोस्तों, यारो , जानकारों से मिल लूँ !!!

एक दिन पुरानी सब्जी मंडी से जा रहा था के मेरी नजर एक वृद्ध व्यक्ति पर पड़ी. मोटा चश्मा, बढ़ी हुई दाढ़ी, और चेहरे पर उदासी थी..........उसके कपडे भी कुछ ज्यादा अच्छे नहीं थे, पर ना जाने क्यों उसकी शकल मुझे कुछ जानी पहचानी सी लगी.....थोडा और करीब गया तो देखा ये तो वर्मा अंकल है.......हमारे पड़ोस में ही रहते थे, बहुत ही अच्छा lifestyle था इनका......2 बेटे थे इनके और बड़ी हसी ख़ुशी और भरपूर ज़िन्दगी जी रहे थे.......अपने बेटो को कभी कोई कमी नहीं आने दी थी वर्मा अंकल ने.......

आज उनको इस हालत में देखा तो बहुत अजीब सा लगा......मुझसे रहा नहीं गया और में उनकी तरफ बढ़ लिया......मैंने उनके पैर छुए और अपनी पहचान बताई..अंकल को मुझे पहचानने में ज्यादा देर नहीं लगी.....कुछ और बातो के बाद आखिर मैंने उनकी इस हालत के बारे में पूछ ही लिया.....

मेरे इस सवाल पर अंकल ने मेरे कंधे पे हाथ रखा और अपने आंसू छुपाते हुए बोले, " कुछ नहीं बेटा, बस अब मेरे बच्चे बड़े हो गए है " !!!!

Respect your parents.....No Matter what !!!!

Someone is waiting for you !!!

I was a just-born and she was Twenty-Five,
Though we were we, we were one.
I would cry out in Latin and she would respond in Greek,
I would learn nothing but she never got tired to teach.

I was surrounded by monsters eager to pull my cheek,
but they would vanish the moment I was wet and weep.
She would come running and hold me in her arms,
as if I had won the contest of the charms.

Now I was able to walk and chew,
and hey, I was two.
I and she could now understand each other,
I was her everything and she needed no other.

I would try to walk and fall down,But knowing she was with me,
the fear of getting hurt was now gone.
We still could not converse that effectively,
But she would understand my needs so easily.

I could now roam about free,
because now I have turned three.
I was ready to join a new world,
my academic life was now gonna mould.
She would dress me as best as a prince,
but when I would come back,
she would need at least an hour to rinse.
I was now able to talk,I was a ferry and she was my dock.

I still remember the child, whose shirt I had tore,
Hey buddy, I have turned four.
I now came home a little late,Nevertheless finding her waiting at the gate.
She would hug me and carry me in her arms,
it felt like flying through the farms.

We now did the homework together,
I would spoil the home and she used to work.
Years passed and now I was fifteen,
and with each year I would forget to lean.
I wouldn't care for what she said,
because now I had become mean.
She would ask me to study for a good future,
but I was busy in a different culture.
Now I had many shes in my life,
I dreamed of having one of them as my wife.

I changed a lot which she did not teach,
She would try to hug me but I was out of reach.
She still waited for me at the gate,
but I would look at her with utmost hate.

She would be awake till late in the night,
because I wasn't home, I was in a fight.
She had so much to scold,
but she never did say,hoping to find me better the next day.

Time went on and now I am grown,
lost in the world of my own.
I and she, between us have a river,
I have left her for my career.

When I was young, for me, she sacrificed her ambitions,
but I don't care, I now have my own mission.
I am not with her now, I am in a different city,

she is so old now but I don't even pity.
She needs me now but I am nowhere to find,
in the race for appraisal,
I have become blind.
in sometime I'll forget even to bother,
I am her son and she is my Mother. (By : - Unknown)



Go Friends............ ..someone is still waiting for you

Silent Warrior !!!

Do u have a fighter inside u.....i guess everybody does have one.....the one who always finds himself "Fighting" with ur impulsive decisions,and the one who always keeps telling you, "Dude, its not jst enough here....u need to try more", BUT we all, keep telling him, "no its not like that... u wont understand the problems of being a common man.......Life goes like this only....and we all need to compromise at one stage."

This so called fight "Goes on" until one among both agrees to other's viewPoint, and how your Life shapes up, directly depends upon "Who wins" more fights.

i did find this "warrior" inside me, and nothing exceptional....here too his success rate is very low......as MOST of the times its ME (common man with common problems) who wins the fight.

Have u ever felt lost even after winning a game/fight/contest?? or the other way round for that matter........ i did....infact i do feel the same way everytime i win a contest against my so called "silent warrior".

But is this what i actually want ?? is this win really takin me closer to my dreams??? no ways !! i want to lose.....i dont want to win.....

I hope one day i would experience that hidden feelin in losin the game. Hope it comes soon....

Cheers !!!

Betrothal season

Ya its betrothal season right now. varun, my college time friend got married to jinni. ,Ankur has got enganged to his beloved shivani,and another grad college friend Sandeep, got married to his mom's choice in dec( so sad hainaa....). and ofcourse, Prince, my very dear, is about to celebrate his first wedding anniversery this april.Nidhi also tied this knot last year. Dude, its like every other day some or other person is getting married or engaged.Donno what to say in such a situation. I have kind of mixed opinion about it all.. for a couple of them, its good that they r getting married, that was the best way out to drive them out of depression.For others its like succumbing to male dominance n turning in to a typical Indian homely housewife type female. My friend sets the example of how much a relationship can change a person.. dude, he's(my school time frnd) become utterly "sampooran Bhartiya pati". cant belive a person like him could ever be like this...may be... but I guess the answer to this question is both the reasons together. I have changed, so has he.Seeing these kind of incidents makes me dislike the institution of marriage. Why the hell should give up your friends, even male friends after marriage, anyways Coming back to the main point, it depends upon the person whom u r marrying. If u marry a narrow minded idiot, u r doomed.. or atleast a person like me is surely gonna be doomed.. but if u get someone really goodie goodie.I guess I did find some one to fit in my frame long time back. it seems so idiotic to think about her even now,but thats a long way past for me.....You might want to ask me that When am I gonna get married?.I don't know With whom do I intend to get married? i don't know only time can tell.. just hoping that it bring 3 smiles in my life.. How will I get 3 smiles in my life ...I don't know....Anyway.. gtgn (got to go now ) Ciao

Cheers !!!

Hullo !!!!!!!!! I M ALIVE

couldn't get time to write in.....but surely will b back with a new post very soon......

Cheers !!!

You say it best when you say nothing at all

It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word, you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face let's me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may they can never define
What's being said between your heart and mine

Cheers !!!
