Lot that happens daily !!!

There is so much activity around me these days. Discussions, decisions, arguments, sympathy, concern, fear, anxiety, confusion and what not. Believe me, the list is still incomplete. Before you guess let me clear it to you that my house is not Aam Aadmi Party's headquarter where you can see a bunch of people sulking in the background of power. Here the race is different. When the opponent is resting, he is blamed...when he wakes and try to roar, he is blamed some more...finally when he speaks, there is a tsunami of blames flowing. Things are accepted as they are without a word of protest, followed by a round of mild complaining, if responded with a dose to fight back, the complaints suddenly transforms into who-said-we-have-a-problem thing and if shown sympathy the mild complaints progresses to endless grumping which for sure ends with a We are ok verdict.

Did i ever think this to be a routine in our peaceful abode. No, never. Honestly speaking this is a serious issue (yeah, the one i wrote in above lines) with immense complexity attached to it. To say it or not, its affecting everybody associated with it. Why do we want others to say the same we want to hear. Even if we know it wont happen, why don't we put off the burning candle of hopes and expectations inside us. The warmth of expectations keep us comfortable for a while but what it's been abruptly put to an end. Is there an end to desires ?? Don't we sometimes expect too much ?? Too much from us, too much of it from others and then it becomes a habit. Habit of giving expectations through our words & actions and in return of coarse a multiple round of fulfillment of our own expectations. Even though we want the things to be in motion we have a problem with its gait. And plus, there are so many things which should have been said but are missed and many unwanted declared with authority.

There is no harm in doing all this. That's the way things have been done in past and trend is not yet changed. I am still too small to bring about a change or lets say talk about changes. They listen, nod in agreement and it ends. Earlier when i didn't see things closely, it didn't registered to my senses. However, last few months i have been tossed and torn by worldly affairs. I am hurt, yes, i am and there is no way out of this agony except for to let it pass. Or rather, i should be happy looking at the beaming faces who are dancing to their own marry-tunes. 

Meanwhile, I want to stay in peace, grow up to these realities, knitting my own space which would assure a fresh air and warmth of sun to me.

PS - Now i have created a mess here. Started with A, followed by M and ending with F. aarrggghhh....after reading this you ll definitely understand my position. Just like this post leaves you puzzled, i go off my balance everyday.

55 Words Fiction - Hurry Up !!!

Fastest did he run but could not get her. It has been a routine. She arrives with her own charm and leaves without a thank-you speech. His senses has betrayed him again. Uff..when would he understand the cue of her leaving.

He feebly walked back, frustrated. Effects of missing your beloved "The Local".

Between US

why do you stop, when i want to fly
didn't you said you should give it a try
are your words not true to me
or its simply we don't agree
have you forgotten the bond once alive                              
and i shall stay alone and deprived
do you hear what the world says
these two are soon to part their ways
are you listening or it only echoes at me
pillow is wet but you rarely see

gone are the days of me being carefree
an empty bean bag appears way too scary
how and what revolves around us
when you don't bother why should i fuss
control and patience still rule my soul
a bruised heart & drooping eyes are hard to console
its your duty to be theirs first
time will do, and it wont hurt
i pray we shall never cross our ways
for the pain never wants to show its face





Say "I do"...

promise me a stronger you
when storm surrounds without a clue
ground is lost and blue is the hue
be by my side to break it through

promise me a touch so tender
close my eyes and let me wonder
you are the reason for everything splendor
stand on my feet and take a meander

promise me a day to ask
of shattering glows and all my gasps
days to come, those that pass
and the things which shall forever last

promise me a hut at height
shoes of snow that might bite
a fire place to lit every night
warm red blanket to make us hide                                                            
promise me a hearty laughter
for every call which you answer
a platter of joy and a novel banter
piles of life and fun to remember

Are you on the same journey ?

It has been quite a time when i updated my space. No doubt, i was busy seeking something. Ray of light in thick fog, a hard working day, moments of excellence, times of affection, challenging fears....and the list goes on. And it usually ends with the same - Seek and perhaps you will find. Then reality downs upon that you have been moving around the bush, there is no start and no end, most likely you ll arrive at the start after you finish. Next time, you would mark your beginning, sure of reaching your destination. Give a kick start to your journey promising a perfect finish to it. Thou keep moving on, delighting at the pleasure of be a master this time and it seems endless. You may come a long way without getting the aspired or may end up at the start mark realizing it to be the Best. 

The search is never ending. Though it appears easy to some, the destinations sometimes just seems to deny an agreement with you. The comfort you seek turns out to be the most painful. A break from the run you want but sorry there is no time for it. Timeless it has to be. There are points where u want to stay, relax a bit and sip in to the fullest---before you think of it---a sinking feel of discontentment appears. And then, it starts again. There would be people who would want you back, hold you for ever, making a life with you, will make you skip a beat..you would stop, give a convincing smile, without losing a moment to move ahead, though craving for the offerings throughout life. 

Today morning i happened to listen some of the lines - 

Mere mann ye bata de tu, Kis or chala hai tu
Kya paya ni tune kya dhundh rha hai tu
Jo hai ankahi, jo hai ansuni, wo baat kya h bata
Mitva.....kahe dhadkane tjhse kya
Mitva.....ye khud se tu na to chupa

So true it is. May be not for all but for a major chunk. What do we seek..Once we get it, it no longer holds the same value, we take it for granted and set off for an undiscovered pleasure, continuous exploring steals the delight of sitting back for a while with what we have. Sometimes, our eyes just see the moments getting slipped while we stand pinned to the notions of yet to come. It looks as if there is no absolute happiness, everything is relative. Relative to what we had earlier, what we could and what everyone else has. It takes no long for us to let pass a small joyride. There are numerous assumptions and chances on which we rely forgetting the colors spread around. That is the reason probably why people liked movies like 3 idiots, taare zameen par  & ZNMD coz those 3 hours showcased the hidden and so obvious things which are almost forgotten. We love spending few hours with characters who enact "aware-of-every-felicity" but badly fails to follow the same. I wish we all could enjoy the only life we have to the fullest.

While everyone is eager to make life dance on their tune, try to move with the music of life and Believe me, you wont lose anything.

There are no thumb fight
Coffee mugs are no more alive
Where are the two who had it all
One is on tour, other on the call
even if they now sit together
Its's just investments which are talked about,
without a glance at the b'ful weather
rush they do for the targeted number
Early morning walks are now a blunder
though they fear to be alone
Still the love is rarely shown
come soon the day when they will miss
you, tea and the early morning kiss
