हम क्यों उन्हे

हम क्यों उन्हे अपने
इतना पास आने देते हैं
की वोह हमें घायल करके
सॉरी बोल कर निकल लेते हैं
उन्हें पास आने देना हमारी फ़ितरत है
और उनका चोट पहुँचा कर बस एक सॉरी बोलना
शायद उनकी आदत है

The power of togetherness helped me succeed

School life is the foundation for our education. What we learn at school leaves a life long mark on our lives and it’s our school life that makes or mars our career. However sometimes we learn a great deal from our friends, relatives and sometimes total strangers. I too learned the important lesson that taught me the importance of spending time with someone who cares for us and has genuine concern for us. I realized this when I was facing a lot of hardships in my school and then I discovered the power of being together and how it helped me overcome a very big hurdle of my life. My early schooling began in a Hindi medium school. Though I was not a topper yet I could manage to pass all my tests and exams with good marks. When I moved to class six my parents shifted me to an English medium school.  The school was very reputed and the teachers were very good .However I was having a very difficult and hard time coping with my studies in the English medium. I started feeling that I would never be able to complete my studies and it would be impossible for me to cope with my education in this new school. I was feeling very low and left out. As it was the summer season the school soon closed for the summer break. However for me there was no vacation like activity in my life. I tried to study hard but all the books being in English ,I could not understand the subjects .This made me very desperate. Then one day while I was sitting on my garden swing feeling very sad and lonely then a neighboring lady who was a good friend of my mom saw me sitting like this and came up to me. She lovingly put her hand on my head and asked me why I was so sad. Even though she had known my mother for quite some time but she had never acted so lovingly with me. That sudden loving touch made my emotions flow and I told her everything . In the course if this conversation I found her to be a very warm person and she assured me that she would help me in my time of trouble. From next day onwards she started devoting her time in teaching me English. In the time that I spent with her I found all my troubles vanish just by being #together with her. Actually she was not just teaching me English instead she was filling me with a lot of hope and optimism to deal with my studies and my future .She always said that I would do very well in my studies. I started spending time with her and found a new ray of hope and optimism lighting up my life thanks to this aunt of mine. By the time my  school reopened I had got a good grasp on English and even studied a few chapters of each subjects. More than the studies I had become filled with hope and optimism towards the future. From that year onwards I started doing very well in my studies. Even today when I look back at my life I have fond memories of spending time with a person who filled my life with hope, optimism and cheer. I attribute all this to the time of togetherness that I spent with my aunt.

मैं सूरज को देखने के लिए

मैं सूरज को देखने के लिए…
मैं सूरज को देखने के लिए इस दुनिया में आया था
पर पाया यहाँ अंधेरा
लोगों के दिलों में
आया था में देखने गगन चुंबी पहाड़
पर पाया दिलों की घाटियों में नफ़रत का सैलाब
मैं इंसान से मिलने आया था
पर इंसान बने जानवर को आपस में लड़ता पाया

कभी मैं तुमसे प्यार करता था

कभी मैं तुमसे प्यार करता था
कभी मैं तुमसे प्यार करता था
पर शायद अब भी वोह प्यार
मेरे अंदर मरा नहीं
कुछ है मेरे अंदर जो
कहता है तुम जहाँ भी रहो
खुश रहो आबाद रहो
मैं तो भूल चुकी हूँ तुमको
पर मेरा दिल तुमको भूल पाता नहीं

जब मैं पहली बार पृथ्वी पर गिरा था

जब मैं पहली बार पृथ्वी पर गिरा था

जब मैं पहली बार पृथ्वी पर गिरा था
तो थोड़ा ही चला था
लड़कड़ाते वह पहले कदम
मुझे बहुत दूर न ले जा पाए थे
फिर मेरी माँ ने मुझे दौड़ कर पकड़ लिया
चूमा मेरी चोट को सेहलाया और
अपनी बाहों में भर लिया

मैं जितना ऊपर बड़ता गया

मैं जितना ऊपर बड़ता गया

मैं जितना ऊपर बड़ता गया
आसमान पास आता गया
धरती दूर जाती गयी
पेड़ पौधे छोटे होते गये
पक्षी पास आते रहे
हवा चेहरे से टकराती रही
चिंता दूर जाती रही

मैने सपने मैं देखा एक सपना

मैने सपने मैं देखा एक सपना

मैने सपने मैं देखा एक सपना
की मैने अपनी छाया को है पकड़ा
वो छटपटाई फिर चिल्लाई
पर मैने एक ना सुनी
मैने कहा यह क्या बात है
उजाले में नज़र आती हो
पर अंधेरे मे डर लगता है क्या ?
कि साथ छोड़ जाती हो?
वो मुस्कुराई फिर शरमाई
फिर बोली मैं कहाँ साथ छोड़ जाती हूँ
वो तो अंधेरे में तुम मुझे देख नहीं पाते हो
में तो कुम्हारी छाया हूँ तुम्हे छोड़ कर कहाँ जाउगी
तुम्हारी हूँ और आखरी दम तक साथ निभाऊगी
