Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaara Ho Gaya, Baithe Baithe Jeene Ka Sahaara Ho Gaya

Gaate Ho Geet Kyon, Dil Pe Kyon Haath Hai, Khoye Ho Kis Liye, Aisi Kya Baat Hai
Yeh Haal Kab Se Tumhaara Ho Gaya, Aaaaaa

Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein Ishaara Ho Gaya, Baithe Baithe Jeene Ka Sahaara Ho Gaya
Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein...

उफ़ ये क्या है

आँखों में कुछ तो ख्वाब हैं, इस रात में कुछ ख़ास है

जुबान पर कुछ तो नाम हैं, इस हवा में कुछ बात है 

मन में कुछ तो मलाल है, इस जिंदगी में कुछ काम है 

होठों पर कुछ तो राज़ हैं, हमारे भी कुछ मिजाज़ हैं

freedom once more !!!

few more days and i will free once more..free from punctuations...free again to create...once more...free to think...free to smile and free to respire...


wow ...what a feel...i need a break as well...i need a break to walk...to keep walking and walking ....without the fear of fatigue...


folks...i had never felt so near...so clear...so honest...so free...i do not have to run to anywhere now...some how...from last few weeks I have been feeling content in everything i do...i am not sure why and i really do not care to know why...


another few weeks and i will be more carefree...will respire more...and more often :)


so folks...next thought...

they say 

'keep walking'

I say 

'keep romancing'

Mind is without fear and head is held high

Gurudev Tagore wrote it with 'where' for me it's 'now'


now the mind is without fear and the head is held high 
now knowledge is free
now the world has not been broken up into fragments 
By narrow domestic walls
now words come out from the depth of truth
now tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
now the clear stream of reason has not lost its way 
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
now the mind is led forward by thee 
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, I will stay awake !!!!

घड़ी-साज़ - Horologist

I met him yesterday evening. He was sitting at his humble makeshift counter shop at the sector market. While I was waiting at his counter, to get battery changed for my wrist-watch, my mind started to notice, the calm, the smoothness with which he was dealing with customers.

He must be around 50, his voice and his composure is the written proof. He fixed the chain length for a boy, boy ask,"Uncle, kitney paise hue ? (How much to pay ?)", he responded with same depth, in which he told me to wait, "dus rupuye beta (Rs 10/- only son)"..After which he took my watch, took out clippers to open the dial at the back, 1st try, didn't budge, 2nd trial...no success....then he took out other set of tools...tried again...no luck...'hmmmm...he said'....

3 failed attempts, in front of customer...I started to think...how will he face me now...his job is to open...and with failures !!! at this age...what's he gonna say...?

Well...he said, "beta lagta hai ye jaam ho gaya hai, isko kal din mein dekhte hain, thoda oiling karni padegi..abhi raat bhi ho gayi hai...kal din mein le aana...mujhko bhi saaf dikhega"...(Son, it seems, the join is bit rusty, bring it tomorrow during the day, I will oil the join a bit and then it should budge...no worries, I will fix it for sure tomorrow...during the day I can see much clearly".

I listened, I listen the calmness and sooth in the tone, the clarity in the voice and the belief in tomorrow. 

I saw him getting small money for fixing time for others.There he is smiling for each coin...and here I am still finding happiness in the ...what the heck !!!...

There he is sitting in hot weather of NCR, in front of pavements with his wooden makeshift counter, with a small wardrobe...with calm face...belief in tomorrow...and hope in eyes at the age of 50...and here I am standing...all worried...for thousands of lame expectations of family, friends, colleagues, superior...lord and myself...

There he is sitting calmly on his wooden broken chair managed by brick on one side, smile on his face...deep wrinkles around his eyes...and here am I thinking about how to and what to and when to...always in hurry...always thinking...2 steps ahead...where is pleasure...when will I be delighted...

what the heck...the thought machine kick me to my sense...no more...thoughts...no more worries...kick the stress...breathe ...respire...inhale....that's life...

from now on...

I will Inhale....I will Inhale deep....respire...breathe and will live long...that's what I am destined for....Live Long..enjoy and be happy !!!

साथ चलो

नींद का खुमार क्यूँ , बैठा है तू यार क्यूँ,

आ अब उठ चलें, आ की अब बढे चलें,

दूर खड़ी ये मंजिलें, इंतज़ार में तेरे,

हुई बुज़ुर्ग ये आप ही,

अब न तू नाराज़ हो, जोश से तू साथ हो,

आज हे निकल चलो, यार तुम भी साथ चलो।.

Liar Liar

What a fantastic movie...every time I watch it...I like Jim more and more and the innocent kid even more...and each time it strengthens my belief in the innocent wish...Lord himself grants to kids more often...

and now I know why...'coz the wish a kid has are pure and simple...emphasize the word pure...

I realize it now every day when my kid Savitur asks me for something...he is simple...and pure...his wishes are simple and pure...a toffee..or a coffee...a burger (gerber he says) or a pasta...simple desire not to go to school ...'coz he want to watch his cartoon...not like mine of not going to office 'coz I am bored...or some fu*king odd reason...

so folks...be simple when you wish...they would be simply be granted... :) and yes...believe in angels and fairies ... as well...
