वो यारों की महफ़िल...

जब भी यादों में पाया उन्हें

ये कदम ठहर से गए...

उन पलों को महसूस करके

ये फिज़ा थम सी गई...

न जाने क्या बात थी

उस यारो की महफ़िल में..

ज़हन में आज भी वो यादें बरक़रार है

खुदमे यु रूठना -मनाना

देर तक यु बातें बनाना..

किसी के दर्द में, अश्क अपनी पलकों से बहाना

कुछ गलती होने पे, गालियाँ देके फिर साथ निभाना..

वो शायद कुछ और ही समां था..

जब ये दिल एक दूजे के लिए धड़कते थे

कल क्या होगा, इससे बेखबर 

बस आज में जिया करते थे...

कल तक जिस दुनिया से बेखबर थे

आज उसी की भीड़ में कहीं खो गए है..

उन तमाम कसमो-वादों के बावजूद

आज फिर भी सबसे दूर हो गए है..

जो पीछे छूट गया है

वो खुदका एक हिस्सा सा लगता है..

अब किसी भी महफ़िल में जाएं

ज़िन्दगी का वो अंश अधूरा सा लगता है..

हंसी के वो पल ...

रात की गहराई में 

जब दिल ने खुदको तनहा पाया

कुछ मानो छुट गया हो पीछे

उन तारो ने ये एहसास दिलाया...

बिछड़े कुछ रिश्ते है शायद

हंसी के कुछ पल है शायद...

जिनकी याद से ये आँखे नम हो जाती है

यर रूह थम सी जाती है...

वो पल जो हमने यूँही गवा दिए

कीमत जिनकी बयान न हो सके

रेत समझ हमने यूँही बहा दिए...

वो लब्ज़ कडवाहट के अब चोट पहुचाते है

काश उनमे मोहब्बत के रंग भरे होते..

उस बेरुखी की वजह अब धुन्दला सी गई है

अब वो बेरुखी ही बेवजह सी लगती है...

एक आरज़ू दिल में खटकती है

उन लम्हों को फिर से जीने की...

उन रिश्तो को समेटने की

उस हंसी को कैद करने की...

ALWAYS THE EXCEPTION....

From the ignorance we shared in 6^th to the friendship we had in 11^th,

From the bond we started in 12^th till now…

He’s the person, I know, I’ve truly gained in my life, my best friend a.k.a. my brother…from all those ‘high-level talks’ to hour-long ‘pravachans’… from fighting over a year old mistake to some crazy future plannings…from politics to crushes, we’ve discussed and shared it all…

He irritates me when trying to inspire, makes me cry when he’s supposedly joking, and sounds hilarious to me while discussing his sorrow…yepp!! The most uncommon element of my life…
the best part being when he’s concerned when I least expects it, yet wants it the most….

He’s the exception of my life (accidentally..) coz every time I shut the world out, he somehow finds a key to unlock or even a window…being my critic (24X7!!), to a shoulder to cry on : )

It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known someone, the important part being if it’s worth knowing till the end…

Cherishing all the memories we’ve shared & hoping to make many more…

I wish him the best on his birthday!!
may he get all he deserve and desire…..

that face :) :(

The eternal smile fascinates me

And reminds me of life’s ecstasy

The enchanting smile & mesmerizing glow

That faces puts up for a great show

It’ll fall and wound itself

But that face will never tell its pain

That painted smile will hide it all

Audience’s clap and laugh is all he gain

Only if they looked close enough

Into his soul through its eyes

The tear it hides, the sting it holds

But they are only spectators

They neither will see nor will feel

The soreness of his heart

The intention is to entertain

To make them laugh on jokes & clap on tricks

And not to share its sorrow

It’s a replica of life & living

Teaching us how to survive

Be an audience and look around

Let go of all the grief you may have

Merely observe the joy it holds

Be that face to an bystander

 Which holds that charming smile

While struggling through life’s ache…

unfinished rhymes....

Feelings of the heart untold

Mystery behind those eyes

Emptiness of soul if looked deep inside

No one knows what essence hides...

Tampered to the core with worldly desires

With profuse goals & dreams

Still heart seize some unfinished rhymes

to complete the reason of my being...

Heart contains the expressions

Soul still questioning the melody

Life seems like a puzzle unsolved

Have some pieces missing...

Searching for the lyrics

Love is what eyes behold

Felt its presence

In dreams and in fiction

But my heart still untouched

And heart filled with some unfinished rhymes...

it rained all night...

Walking in the rain all by himself, soaked from the spell of rain, lost in thoughts. regret and grief visible in his walk. He is upset, and the way it seems, with himself… getting gloomy and more frustrated with each step, unconscious where they are leading him…flashback starts to roll…the moments he shared with her, from the first day…how they met, how she spilled soda on his new shirt…all the fights, the abundant of times they used to chat on her rooftop, the ups & downs of they shared separately yet together... discussing about the day’s breakfast & all the way to the relative’s gossip her mom had recently told her… the few romantic moments when she was unaware of the truth…

With that thought, he paused & looked around to realize that he was at the same spot where they used to have her ice-creams & his cold drinks together…

He has lost her, the one person who cared about him, someone he could always count on, no matter what time it is….someone in whom he found the motherly care & the craziest best pal…

His eyes began to look for her, hoping that maybe, maybe she would understand him right now, like she always did & would come and hug him this very moment… all he wanted to see right now was her face, which holds the best smile in this world and the way she magnetized it with a wink of her eye…all he wanted to feel was her embrace & the scent of her hair, all he wanted to hear was her enchanting voice…

And then his eyes rested on a young couple, the girl enjoying the rain & forcing the guy to come out of the shade and feel the drizzle with her…hmm, rain is indeed magical…he remembered how she used to love rains & jumped in the puddle, dancing & singing all the way…how delicate & child-like she was… how dare he hurt her feelings, ahhh!!! The thought of tears in her eyes pained him to the core…

And the thought dawned upon him, how foolish he was…he loved her, he always had… he can’t even picture his future without her… he remembered how he used to relax with her in her arms, listening to his heartbeats…how he would pour out all his deepest and darkest secrets while resting on her lap…how empty his nights seemed when she didn’t came to the terrace…

A smile crossed his face with tears rolling down his cheeks & he took a ice-cream…

surprise!!!!

It’s never too late for a surprise J

Two decades on this planet, and now I get a surprise from my family, especially dad (those who know him well there should be a applaud coming ;))...

Well I guess the ‘make a wish’ ritual is true...even having that was unexpected too....hey, I m not exaggerating...thanks to my approaching mid-term, I had zero expectation of any kind of celebrations...but friends are friends, they make sure that you feel special , even if that’s only once in a blue moon(it’s when they take a break from the usual leg-pulling and driving you crazy)... ;)

So I had my birthday ceremony at mid-night with all the usual cake cutting, partying etc...Still it was so special in ways untold...and then when I woke up in the dawn, expecting anything else would have been a threshold...

And then when my birthday was about to end, my family came all way down here to just wish me & keeping it a secret all through the journey (hey that is shocking)...
yup, so the day turned out as I have wished for...I didn’t have the usual gifts, partying with friends (I’ll have that too, it’s just a bit delayed..) but in so many ways it was way better than any of my birthday before...

Felt so special yesterday, thanks to my friends and family & even all those who wished me at mid-night, only the thought of them still awaken to wish me, makes me jump, literally...

So my last teen year has passed...felling a bit grown-up but yet loves the child inside me...

Just keep surprising your loved ones & you never know you may get one anytime, any day... ;) and know that even when we think we've seen it all, life can still surprise us & 
we can surprise ourselves....

Love yaa all!!!

May all your wishes come true just like mine did yesterday!!! Njoy your life!!

p.s. - i know I’m a day late for my bday post...but i was busy gloating ;)

the road untraveled.....

Standing alone in the dusk of night

Deserted from the world

Giving up on its bait

Thoughts crossing my mind

What satisfy me the most?

It’s the road untraveled that’s captivating

The idea of unknown alluring

Strolling the unmarked lane

Dancing along the sidewalk in an effortless way…

A road that’ll lead me to ecstasy

There’d be bumps all the way

But also fresh new path to my glee

I’ll meet some passerby along the journey

Some will be bystanders and watch me lead

Others will keep me accompanied…

It’s the road that’ll lead me

To my dreams and desire

A road that is never ending

For each destination to serve its purpose

And being a new beginning...

do a rain dance !!!! :) ;) :) :P

nopes, its not a metaphor...i mean it literally..

it was 8.15 when i left for my 8.30 class with apoorva & it was raining heavily!!!!
surprisingly, there is a thing i like about my college, its lush green campus!! and, it was looking its best then, having a shower(in both ways!!)... ekdum jannat ;)
so we were going to be late for class (no biggie!! ) & apoorva asked to take a ride on our campus shuttle...
on any other day, i would have, definitely !!.. not only b'coz we might reach on time, but because of my lazy body which i respect a lot ;), but naah! not today!!!

the weather was too enchanting for it... OK now, bunking the class & enjoying & dancing in the rain would have been a stretch, but i can afford to be a few minutes late... we all can :)
monsoon season is way over here, so who knows when i'll get my chance...

when was the last time you danced in rain, jumped in a puddle, made a paper boat or even just for a minute observeded the beautiful nature with your eyes.....
fine i am not asking you to bunk your plan of life and totally enjoy it, but stealing a few moments of joy won't cost you anything, rather it will save you from regret in the future...
i mean c'mon...most of us are literally gonna spend half our life studying for the future life & then it'll be all about working & saving for the future life...
oh pleasee!! that might be some future, but definitely not a life...this. this is your life, right now..!!

so go, have fun, do something you like, without thinking about that whether it'll be worthy for your so called future, which you don't even have a surity of...(fine, i wish for your long life, but duh!! Kal Ho Na Ho, remember!!! ;) :) )


p.s. : u still reading??? go, don't wait for the next monsoon!!!

cheerio!!!

intro.....its where we all begin, isn't it ;)

hola!!
i've been trying to write  a blog since ages but didn't got a clue that from where to start...yep, i like to keep my thing (and in this case my blog) in a proper organised way...things should go according to a plan and all that  kind  
of stuff...although i don't achieve that stage like ever...coz thanks to my keeping things organised and doing them acoording to the plan thing crazy streak, i end up doing almost nothing....
so to sum up things i wanted a proper intro for my blog, n i guess i finally got it....
i was randomly editing some of my pics in photoshop n just like that i realised that just like these pics we all have passed through different shades in our life...and with each new day adds a new shade....
but the optimistic thought i found is that no matter what shade we have, let it be negative, sepia...our pic still looks beautiful...n so can our life.....so how about u take it down a notch n relax....
life is beautiful....it always was and it always will be :)

i don't plan to be a writer n this blog is solely for my satisfaction.....but still appreciation would be welcomed and so will be any critics n remarks....

a new road of experience for me, lets see where it leads to!!! .....

cheerio!!!
