YOU are my Confidence, my Faith, my God

Zinda hun lekin wo baat nahi hai, Haathon mein Tera jo haath nahi hai....

Each day seems to be a date now,
I have killed these years without you my Darling, sincerely challenging the Gods while sleeping that I do not wake up ever if they do exist,
I used to curse them badly the moment my sleep got broke & I found myself alive,
Why did they leave me alive if they can't help me be with my LIFE?


I used to pray that the vehicle that I am traveling in meets an accident & only I die.
Even tried having super salty solutions a couple of times but not much electrolyte imbalance plus death, rather started having a hate feeling for salt.
I used to drink water outside, even at the most prone areas with a hope that I catch up some Hepatitis type infection like I got in 2007 & this time I do finally die,
But I was never that lucky.


I had actually found only 2 reasons worth living for,
I thought I had lost the first one in the year 2009,
The other blow came in the year 2012- this one being irreparable.
The life came to a halt, a direction-less journey to nowhere.

All became just a social formality.

I used to have a nice sense of humor, fond of listening to music,
All got lost somewhere.
Stopped looking at the mirror while dressing, polishing shoes, didn't purchase any new clothes, stopped writing.
Bound myself into a room with a few irrelevant books.


Used to go to the Univ once a while,
But that used to pinch like hell.
Something was missing.
Thought a lot, forgot a lot.
But couldn't help.


I wanted to revive myself,
I wanted to get my LIFE back.
Was hard to accept the realities.
Although there was a dead sure Confidence,
But feared exercising the same.


Had waited for long,
Just for the right time.
I thought I could handle this pain forever,
But I lost here.


I just believe its not too late.
Have grown up listening that it is never too late to do anything if you make up your mind once.
Existence of God for me now is based on the fulfillment of ONLY ONE WISH.
I don't want anything else.

Now I can say that somewhere the so called God has been a bit kind in making us meet once again.
I can only pray & hope for a happy ending to our so called love story. Afterall, the end result does matter.

I can say that your presence has brought a genuine smile on my face after a long-long time.
I am really fed up of tackling this mean world alone.


Taking decisions has always been difficult task for me.
Right from handling significant amount of money, whether to create FD, RD, put into PPF, how to file income tax return, how to handle the family pension account in the name of my mother to what color to be painted on the walls, how the shifting of home is to be undertaken-all these decisions were not easy at all.


Those who now project themselves to be my closest to the extent as considering me for their daughter that too mentioning age old stories, were nowhere to be found.
I managed everything on my own.


The shlok from Shiv Chalisa proved to be true : 

Maat, Pita, Bhrata Sab koi, 
Sankat mein poochat nahi koi!

I found myself walking alone on the Chhota Shimla - Pari Mahal road as a routine carrying things to be shifted. I had this task left unfinished by my father to be completed.


Used to cry while cleaning the house, fixing tubelights and what not;
Always expecting a call from my only 2 most dearest people.
Even a sight of whom used to relive all my worries.
A special kind of Confidence not found elsewhere,
A Confidence that everything will be fine.
A Confidence that I am not alone.
A Confidence that this shall also pass.

Whenever in a fix, I used to close my eyes and predict what they would have done had they been in the same place.
Even the wall colors were decided by me as per their choice.
Blue in my room, maroon in the drawing area came out to be easy choices for me based on the favorite colors of my most favorite person.

I don't know whether it's right or wrong to say so, but I can't afford to lose you now.
I tried once but lost from myself. I am not that brave.


If given a wish, I want to sacrifice everything but I would ask ONLY for YOU from God.
 

Everything feels secure with you around.
I seriously get afraid when you go out of sight.


I maybe behaving like a child, but I am actually fed up acting like elders now.
I am the smallest at home but these years have made me act like a very brave mature person.
But truly speaking, I am not that brave, the child in me could never come out freely.
Firstly, it was school, then career, family etc, isi mein time nikal gaya saara.


Tab delay karte rahe, ke apne liye kuch karenge ya maangenge jab sahi time aayega.
Jab khade hue apne pairon pe, to ye ni samajh aata ke maangun kis se.


Kaash I could tell my father today, ke Papa mere liye ek baar baat karlo yaar.
And I know for sure ke mere itna kehne se pehle hi unhone khud pahunch jaana tha to talk about me.
He used to get sad to feel that I have sacrificed something I could not live without for his sake, taaki Unko bura na lage.
On his repeated conversations, I used to change the topic just in wait for the right time.
Wish I could tell him today to talk on my behalf as the right time has finally come according to me, for which I had waited for sooooooooooo loooooooooong.

I don't do something until I am fully comfortable myself,
Yahi baat thi jisne pehle marwa diya mujhe,
But pata nhi why, I still feel that I was not wrong in my place.


And that's not something I am just saying for the sake of saying but I do mean each & every word I utter.
Either I do something whole heartedly, or I don't do that at all. But I can't bear anything just for formality.

I know I am being rudely selfish, perhaps for the first time in life. But its for a reason. At this point of time too,
Je Tun agge lang geya, Tenu fark ni paina,
Par je hun vi main piche hat geya, mera kakh ni rehna !!

I really cannot fake myself anymore.
I cannot resist to accept anymore that I cant live without my LIFE.
Unfortunately I cannot bring back my Dad but at least there is one more invaluable person whom I can pray for.
And I just hope I am not doing something very wrong.
Am I ?????

Happy Valentine's Day

Yakin ki hadd ke paas-pass,
Dil ko bharam ye ho raha hai,
Ke Unko humse Pyaar hai.....
Ke Unko humse Pyaar hai !


Let me proclaim to the world my dear, with your due permission, that I would like you to be mine. 

I may not be the perfect choice for you,
But neither have I met anybody 100% PERFECT till now.

You might have many better choices,
But maade to hum bhi itne jada ni hain shayad.

Differences hum dono mein bade hain,
But I have studied that similar forces repel each other.

Forgetting about the past,
Here I am with wide-open arms.

Just waiting !

Just waiting !

Just waiting !

Just waiting for your return !!

Some background music also needs place here:

Intehaa Uske Intezaar ki kis kadar rahi hogi,
Dekh kar jise aankhon ne saari nami riha kar di !!
------For the very special moment


Hey, dearest Cloud, down on my knees, I request you to come floating into my life,
No longer to carry rain or usher storm,
But finally to add color to my Sunset Sky. 
Will you ??

Kade keha si Tun........

This article was prepared on paper towards the end of year 2010. At that time, I had job offers from Tata Consultancy Services, Tech Mahindra, also to be National Chief Marketing Head at FreshersWorld, various Internship offers from Microsoft India Development Center, option to pursue MS/PhD from MUM, Iowa or any reputed institution etc. But I left everything for reasons still unknown. Maybe, because my Motivating M FACTOR, behind all these achievements was missing. 

A lesser known fact to the world is that I also appeared for an SSB interview at Allahabad (the so called Rejection Center) in 2010 (TGC entry), just out of curiosity. I was the first one to be screened in from the batch. Performed those silly tasks for the first time in life and that too quite impressively about which even I was at first doubtful. The entire board was shocked to hear a NO from me in the Conference to their last question whether I really wanted to join the Army.

At another instance, I also cleared the UPSC's CAPF exam but willfully remained absent from the next rounds of the selection process. I had to tell a few people that I got medical out; To some I told that I got out in the ground tasks, just because nobody believes hearing the Truth these days.

Na, I had some other tastes & priorities. 
I should say that I had left everything to the Destiny-to the Free Flow of events. I cannot spoil my life imitating others, that too for no good reason.


I could not manage typing this article then & hence it was not published on this blog. But today, thankfully due to some public demand, I am able to present it here for The sincere reader.

DISCLAIMER: By no means I intend to hurt anybody's sentiments.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke Bilaspur/ Hamirpur/ Chandigarh/ Hoshiyarpur/ Jalandhar ni jaana paina.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke ghar deyaan ton bahar ni jaana.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke haddon bahar ni jaana.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke wich pardesaan vi naal hi jaana.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke ik-dooje de wagair ni reya jaana.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke menu gharon bhaja ke le jaana paina.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke meri behan de through mere ghar wadna paina (je hundi te).

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke saari umar saath nibhaana.

Kade keha si Tun,
Ke  PERFECT MARRIAGE MATERIAL haan main.

Kade pucheya si Tun,
Ke B.Tech ton baad ki karna.

Wekh lai, aj asi Pune-Bangalore rehan joge ho gaye,
Foreign assignments ate bahar education lain joge ho gaye,
Tere-Mere ghar deyaan naal gal karan joge ho gaye.

Saari gallan chadd,
Aj asi Tere ghar jaan joge ho gaye.

Tenu bhajaun joge ho gaye,
Teri Maa naal gal karan joge ho gaye.

Jine muhon kaddi har gal poori karayi hai,
Us Sheran Waali da shukraana,
Tere shahar karke aawange.

Thehar ek mahina,
Tere shahar nu salaam karke aawange.

Dukh taan bas eho hi hai,
Jis layi sab mangeya si,
Aj ohi mere naal nahi hai.

Maneya ke saara kam kharaab karan wala main hi si,
Kise ton menu koi gila nahi.

Par eh afsos zarur hai,
Ke jadon pugauniyaan hi ni si,
Te ini saari gallan kahiyaan hi kyun si.

Jede hunde si awaazan dooron maarde,
Aaj kolon di lange, bina bol ke.

Jehde kade saunde vi ni si bina bol ke,
Hun comment vi anonymous paa gaye:

Kade saahan toh pyaara si jo aakhde,
Aj assi KAUN ho gaye.

 Hun baariyan vi ohna bandh kitiyan,
Jo rakhde si boohe khol ke.

Oh waqtan de naal ucche ho gaye,
Niveyan di lodh na rahi.

Saanu kaudiyan nu pher kehda puchda,
Jad heereyan di thod na rahi.

Saanu sone ton vi mehnge mull dass ke,
Kakhan de bhaa gaye tol ke.

Eh taan yaar iddan hi hundi aayi hai,
Nava dastoor na koi.

Rakh oye Vikram dardaan nu dil ch chupa ke,
Fayda ki hai dukh fol ke.

***

Main kenda vi si -
"Bache, Aashiq, Fakir sada masoom hi rende ne,
Ik vishwas che hi zindgi kat lende ne"

Hun vi main uthe hi khada haan,
Jithe aakhri var vekhya si Tain,
Te uthe hi hamesha khada milaanga Tenu,
Bas ik aas che..........

Bas ik aas che.......
That one day you'll return,
You'll return to be MINE, ONLY MINE, FOREVER ...!




Jai Mata Di - A Trip full of Reluctance, Petitions & Committment

This article was prepared on paper in the year 2011, about a month before my first family trip to Sri Vaishno Devi.
I could not manage typing it then & hence it was not published on this blog. But today, due to some unexplainable & mysterious happenings, I am able to present it here. Thank you Maa.



Aaj aa zarur raha hun Maa,
Par kuch chut raha hai.

Ye to keh nahi sakta,
Ke pehle bulawa nahi aaya,
Par fir bhi shukar hai,
Ke ab to aa raha hun Maa.

Ye to hai ke ab kisi aur jariye se aa raha hun,
Par chaliye, ghar to Aapke hi aa raha hun.

Kaafi socha (ek dharam sankat tha) ke ab us shahar kaise jaaun,
Ke is baar bhi irada badal dun,
Par kiya hua ek puraana waada yaad raha.

Ye bhi shayad koi wajah thi ke main 10 dinon se Mahabharat dekh raha tha,
Moral of the story aaj fir samajh aaya:

"Karam karo, fal tumhare haath mein nahi hai.
 Bas apne Dharam ka paalan karo, baaki tension chadd do"
----------- Sh Krishan Ji in conversation with Mr Arjun

Fir ultimately, maine bhi yahi tark nikala,
Ke afterall, hun to main bhi ek Dharam yudh ki condition mein hi.

Karam Kshetra se hi mujhe fir bulawa aaya hai,
Ab bhi agar main Karam nahi karunga,
Tab fir se Fite Mu.

Moreover, I am not fighting for a wrong cause. Actually, I am fighting with nobody but with myself for the past 2-3 years.

Atleast, I can now involve my dear Krishan ji into the picture (just for the sake of bit more security).

Rest, everybody knows the role He played during the greatest war,
Especially during the last fight between Bhima & Duryodhan.

Also, since Osama too could not be handled by the USA without moving into his territory,
I realised I too can take some lesson from this.

Now coming back to the point:

Hey Maa, kabhi maine socha tha ke Aapke Darbar mein hi Aapki beti se uska haath mangunga (even plan bhi kiya tha), par ye plan execute hone se pehle hi kuch aisa ho gaya, jo aaj tak meri samajh mein nahi aaya.

Kabhi lagta hai, ke meri apprach hi galat thi,
Obviously, galat to thi hi jo is Kalyug mein bhi itna delay kiya

Par main aa raha hun Maa,
Is baar khud Maa se hi beti ka haath maangne.

Aapka diya kaafi kuch hai Maa,
Khush rahegi beti Aapki.

Agar uske pasand ki koi cheez nahi bhi hai abhi,
To use bhi lage haath dedo Maa.


Aisa kaise ho payega,
Main nahi jaanta

Par haan Maa,
Itna zarur hai, ke itihaas gawah rahega is tareekh ka,
Ye itihaas hi hai,
Jo Aapki pooja karta hai,
Jo jaanta hai ke Aap apne bhakton ko khali haath nahi modti

Force to main bhi kisiko karta nahi,
But logon ka Aap par vishwas bana rahe,
Yahi meri dua hai Aapke liye bhi.

Baaki dekho Maa, ye bhakt khud to pehli baar hi pahunchega aapke Dar pe,
Par haan, mere kisse to pehle bhi pahunche hi hain Aapke paas.

Aapko unhi kisson ka waada Maa,
Apne is bete ka khyaal rakhna.

Agar is sangharsh ko Dharam yudh ki form mein le hi liya hai to please dekh lena Maa,
Main to keval hamesha ki tarah, haath jodkar naman ki karta hun.

Aapke paas kis cheez ki kami hai Maa,
Meri laaj rakhna.

Kirpa karo Maa,
Kai baar suni hai Aapne meri,
Ek baar fir sahi.

Zada jajbaati ho raha hun main,
Bas itna jaanta hun,
Ke agar pehle wo din dikhaye the Aapne,
To fir kyun nahin?



Story ki to Happy Ending honi chahiye na Maa,
Bhagwaan pe vishwas to tabhi karta hai insaan.

Agar meri file close bhi ho chuki ho to please use reopen karke priority pe re-investigate karwa do Maa.

Even the Bible says something very interesting about TRUE LOVE (1 Corinthians 13:4, 8) :


Aap to jaante hi ho Maa,
Par kuch khaas doston ki jaankaari ke liye:

Main aaj bhi wahin hun,
Wahin hun jahan Tumne mujhe aakhri baar dekha hoga,
Wahin hun, sirf ek intezaar mein.................

Tun, aa ki kitta?

This article was prepared on paper in the year 2009, sometime after May. But I could not manage typing it then & hence it was not published on this blog. But today, thankfully due to some public demand, I am able to present it here for The sincere reader.


Main kade socheya ni si,
Menu tain sochi paaya.

Main kade boleya ni si,
Menu tain bolan laaya.

Main kade kuch different khaanda ni si,
Menu tain khaan da chaj sikhaya (remember the tasteless soup?).

Main kade bela ghumda ni si,
Menu tain ghuman-gheriyan che paaya.

Main kade style ni si maarda,
Menu tain dressing sense waare sikhaya.

Main top ni si karda,
Menu tain topper vi banaya.

Main kade kise naal fazul gal ni si karda,
Aah wekh, menu tain likhan laata.

Main kade kise nu SMS ni si karda,
Tain mera inbox hi bharta.

Tun ki kitta mere layi,
Shayad tenu ehsaas nahi.

I have no shame in saying it but tain menu banda banaata.

Maneya ke main apne end te bahut kuj te ni kitta,
Sahi waqt da intezaar karda reha,
Par haan, man hi man che ik wadiya jeha ghar zarur bana leya si, jo tenu kade disya hi nahi.

Main darda si ke is faqir di jholi che jo ik heera aake dig peya hai oh kite kho na jaave.

Par, menu ki pata si ke jis ghar diyaan neehan (walls) nu main saja reha si, udi chatt te main paayi hi nahi.

Tain inna anna karta si ke kade chatt paan di lod hi mehsoos na hoyi (taken for granted).

Par, jhatka bada lageya jadon use chatt waali khaali thaan ton oh heera aape hi bhudak ke bahar chala geya, te main neehan hi bharda reh geya.
Tun, aa ki kitta?


Pata vi ni chaleya ke main sahi si ya galat,
Par experience te ehi kenda hai ke kachi neehan te chatt kade bauta der tikdi nahi; bhaaven oh tuhaade favourite tank de armour wargi majboot hi kyun na hove.

Mere ghar da future te aan waala time hi dassega,
Par chatt de bhaar thalle kite dab na jaayo Madam.


Jithe inna kuch tain sikhaaya menu,
Aa last waala judaai da lesson na vi sikhaandi te chalna si,
Par shayad ishq di padhayi ide wagair adhuri hi hundi hai,
Naale fer eh pata vi kiven chalu ke mere supne de ghar diyaan neehan di majbooti zaada hai ya teri chuni hoyi chatt di?

Mera Dil hi Jaanta hai........

This article was prepared on paper in the year 2011. But I could not manage typing it then & hence it was not published on this blog. Basically, this was written when I reluctantly returned back to HPU after deferring the job offers at Tech Mahindra & TCS. I had not applied for M.Tech there in the year 2010 just because I had started hating that place badly after 2009. An year was wasted. But I had no other option than returning back in the year 2011 as a Guest Faculty.


Jab un raahon se ab gujarta hun,
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Jahan kabhi khud ko hi luta aaya tha main,
Aaj wahin par apna wajood talaash karta hun.


Jin raaston pe kabhi zindagi ka matlab seekha tha,
Aaj wahin ki dhool, dil ko dard pahunchati hai.

Jis jagah ne mujhe mujhse hi cheen liya,
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, aaj wahan jaane se uspar kya gujarti hai.

Ye Jahaan samajhta hai ke main bahut khush hun,
Us anjaan ko kaise samajhaun apni is muskurahat ka raaz.

Jis jagah ka naam main nakshe se mita dena chahta tha (HPU),
Aaj wahin pahunchne ke liye jab bus ki raah dekhta hun,
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Kuch jaane-pehchaane chehre jab mera ye badla roop dekhte hain,
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Kadam na chahte hue bhi jab un raston pe badhte hain,
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Maana ke mere padhaaye hue aaj bahut bade ban gaye hain,
Maana ke ab hum unke layak nahin,
Par jab ab auron ko majboori mein padhaana padta hai,
Keval mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Jin kamron ke bahar baithkar saara-saara din gujarta tha,
Aaj unke andar jakar padhaata hun (ICDEOL),
Par jab bhi nazar bahar un sidiyon par padti hai (Hostel wali),
Mera Dil hi jaanta hai, kaisa mehsoos karta hun.

Hazaron nazren mujhse sawaal karti hain,
Ab unhe kaise samjhaun apni is haalat ka kaaran.

Aaj log mujhe apna guide banane ko taraste hain,
Ab unhe kaise samjhaun ke main kisi ko kya guide karunga,
Mera to apna Guide hi mujhe majhdaar chodkar kahin kho gaya hai.

Ab na to kisi aur ki aas baaki hai,
Na jeene ki hi aas baaki hai,
Bas Mera Dil hi jaanta hai us par kya guzar rahi hai.

Teri Rooh Jaane...........

This article was prepared on paper in the year 2009, sometime after May. But I could not manage typing it then & hence it was not published on this blog. But today, thankfully due to some mysterious change of events & public demand, I am able to present it here for The sincere reader.
