Just like that

Just felt like writing something so... I was just thinking what is the key to be happy..its not the big things which make us happy in life.. how often do they occur..its the small things that light up our worlds. The small things which we tend to overlook..ignore..we just have this attitude how is this important, but we rarely do try to enjoy them ..live the moments. We amplify our small failures and disappointments but how often do we give small positives their deservedly positions even. I know its easier said than done and also this is sounding like a lecture so let's move..you know what is the difference between completing a task and accomplishing a task. This could be anything..your school homework, college assignment, preparing a ppt in office , or for that matter cooking for yourself. You know there's a difference between just getting the work done and doing it with a heart. By doing it with heart I mean to say with honesty , I say this because most of us don't like our jobs. People will say how can they do something which they don't like. But truth is it pays bills..you got to do it for bread and butter my friend. And if you are so passionate for something then you ought to and you will make it your vocation , come what may.

चाँद साथ चलता है . . .

ख्वाबों की उडान में
उंचाई हो ज्यादा
तो आसमान छोटा पड़ता है ।
चलने को तैयार हो
तिमिर में भी अगर तो
चाँद साथ चलता है।
रास्ता कठिन है
मंजिल दूर है
मुस्कुरा कर चलो
तो ज़माना साथ चलता है।
जीवन में दुःख आते हैं
सुख लाते हैं ,
ये अफसाना साथ चलता है।
दोस्त चले जाते हैं अपने रस्ते
विरह की आग में
दोस्ती का नजराना साथ जलता है.

The auto ride

Couple of days ago i was on an auto. Yes beside the driver ,on the "the bechara seat".To make myself comfortable I gently stretched my right arm along the the metal rod, my palm and a bit more just out in the open air. I was waiting for the auto to start from the stand, I had to wait still more because the quorum of two passenger in the front was still incomplete.Then a passenger arrived ,who sat to my left ;the driver to my right and the auto moved .Just had the moved some distance it started drizzling .I felt wonderful on my hands , truly exotic feeling I must say.The guy left to me cramped for space and shifted a bit right.I moved a bit right too. My hands further out , now in rain.It felt amazing to have the water drops hitting you on your hands .I turned my palm upwards now facing the sky.Even better feeling.THERE ARE SOME THINGS MONEY CANT BUY, REALLY..

THE BECHARA SEAT

I know mostof the guys must have had a chance to sit beside the driver's seat in an auto(those unlucky fellows who always are on their bikes have missed something of an experience). One of my friend has adjudged that seat as "bechara type seat" because whenever there is no place left on rear seat , driver says "ज़रा आगे आ जाओ भैया ", and then you move forward like a " bechara" .
There are lot many incidences and anecdotes while travelling by an auto and am sure those who commute by auto or any public transport will definitely endorse this fact.

जब कभी..

जब कभी आती है राहों में मुश्किलें
उठती है नज़र तुम्हारी तरफ
जब मालूम हो ये की तुम न कर पाओगे कुछ
फिर भी उठती है नज़र,
कि तुम्हारी एक मुस्कान से आती है
उम्मीद कि ऐसी रौशनी ,
ये मालूम है हमें कि तुम्हारी दुवाओं
में हम हैं शामिल
शिकवा नहीं हमें इस बात का
कि तुम साथ हमारे नहीं हर राह पर
इतना ही है बहुत हमारे लिए
कि किसी मोड़ पे तुम से मिलेंगे ज़रूर
और तुम्हारी मुस्कुराने से मिट जाएगी ये थकान
कि मंजिल भले न हो तुम
मंजिल तो तुमसे ही है
सफ़र तो तुमसे ही है ..
