Independece day.. a country of dreams

It was independence day yesterday and I was thinking what we have achieved in past years. The words came out automatically for this progress which have done in making our country:

सपनों का वतन 

एक देश था मेरे अपनों का,

गाँधी और भगत के सपनों का,

वो देश जो होगा सपनों का जहाँ,

हर कोई होगा अपना 

पराया न कोई होगा वहां 

देश जो था उनके सपनों  का जहाँ,

खो गया है जाने आज कहाँ 

जो धरती कभी थी पूजी जाती 

उसी पे आज खून की नदियाँ है बहती

सबसे आगे रहते थे जो किसान,

मजबूर हैं आज लेने को खुद की वो जान

जाओ जहां भी रहते थे सभी प्रेम से 

आज देखो जाति  के नाम पे लड़ रहे हर एक से,

जनता भी तो थी हमारी भोली भाली सी,

रिश्वत दे दे कर आज कर चुकी अपनी झोली खाली भी 

एक देश था मेरे अपनों का,

गाँधी और भगत के सपनों का,
आएगा फिर एक दिन,
जब होगा ये भारत देश महानों का

Darkness...

अँधेरा  

अँधेरा भी ख़ूबसूरत है,

ये सोते हुओँ को जगाता है,

रोतों को सुलाता है,

जब कुछ समझ  में न आये तो 

निराशा को भी यही भुलाता है।

अँधेरा उम्मीद भी लाता है,

उजाला  तो सिर्फ तरक्की  वाले लोग ही दिखाता  है,

 मगर अँधेरा तो पिछड़े हो को भी साथ ले आता है।

अँधेरा एकता का सन्देश भी लाता है,

उजाला जो कई रंग दिखलाता है,

एक अजीब सा भेद भाव फैला जाता है ,

ये अँधेरा ही है जो सबके लिए बराबर से आता है,

रात के धुंधलके में सब कुछ समेट सा ले जाता है।

ये अँधेरा ही है जिसके जाने का गम नहीं होता ,

यही है देता वो तसल्ली तो उजाला नहीं है दे पाता।

आता हुआ वो अँधेरा और जाता हुआ वो उजाला,

एक नयी आने वाली वाली सुबह का ऐसे कुछ पैगाम देता है जाता,

की मन उस पल में कही खो सा जाता।

खूबसूरत है ये अँधियारा.

आभास दिलाता है ये हर पल कल है एक नया उजियारा ।

Quest...

Life... what is wonderful creation of god, sometimes it gives pain just to prepare us for moments full of joy.

I heard this many time and up till now believed in this. But from last few days I started to think and now this all seems like something from a person who haven’t seen people suffering from pain.

This stuff seems good to people who has money to fill their stomach but for the really poor people who spend their whole day struggling for food merely know the meaning of happiness. The happiest day for them in the one when they get enough food.

This stuff is also good for the people who do not have incurable disease because for those people who have anything like this every next day is the day when they have to die. The fear is so much that they forget to live and enjoy the life.

There are many people in the world who have deficiency of a person in their life. The person can be child for a married couple or a sister who does not have a brother or someone who does not have parents. I have even seen people who suffered all of their life because of lack of love in their life.

Life is good for the people who has all the things in their life and miss only very tiny stuff but for those who already have nothing in their life they have to find their source of happiness in other things. That too doesn’t last too long in most of the cases but that’s what life is. It is the quest for happiness and everyone gets his share sometimes it is big and sometimes it is small.

Goodness in god

I heard it somewhere that god always watch everyone and keep on doing things which are good for us.

I was totally lost and life seemed to difficult to live. Last few days were most difficult for me. Difficult more than the day when I got my 4th semester result. I have lost all the hope and turning to something which only think himself. I wanted to be left alone for myself and that is really very easy to be because if this world never care about the people who doesn’t care about themselves.

But then something happened. I got a new friend to enter in my life. And I am still surprised that how just touch of ones' can change life of another person. I just met this person accidentally though we knew each other from few months but came in actual contact from last few days only. I have not seen a person so full of life and as it is said that when you are full of life everything which is near you will get alive. Same happened to me.

Though I am still in the middle of a tragedy and earlier I thought that it won’t be easy for me to forget this but now it seems like I will survive. With good friends anything can be achieved and every problems can be achieved.

some time.. no time... waiting time

Sometimes some time becomes endless waiting time. This was something happened to me one day.

It was Sunday and as usual I was totally free. I was not in mood of doing anything but just to meet up a friend of mine who was accidentally my best friend. I was in that mood because it was friendship day and most probably the last one to spend together as she was engaged to someone and was supposed to get married soon. And the same which happen to all friends of a girl after she got married I was ready to be vanished from her life. Yes, friends vanishes from their life because they do not even get time for themselves so thinking of friends is a matter which is out if discussion.

So, in the very morning (my day start at 9:30 AM) I texted this girl asking if she has anything planned for herself. I knew one thing about this girl that though I consider her as one of my closest friend but she do not have that much affection to me. For her I was just another friend or in better words hardly a friend. She knew the fact of being her my closest friend and to respect my feelings she used to gave me a bit attention. That day I got a response from her "no, will tell you in sometime. BTW happy friendship day" and I greeted her back for friendship day.

That message from her made me thought that we are going to meet up and I waited for few hours then I realised that this sometime is getting longer so I went out and had lunch. Till now I have realised that she is going to take time to respond because as expected I has to be in the bottom of her list. I called up a friend and asked where he is and then went on to meet him just to find that he was already going to some wedding. Then I decided to spend the day without thinking about her and headed to a mall. I decided to do that because I thought if she called up then we can meet at that mall as she liked that place.

Its been just half an hour that I was roaming around in the mall and then I got a call from another friend. He wanted to meet me and I asked him to come to the mall. He came and then for the rest of the day it was two boys ogling at the girls.

Till the evening I became sure that the some time is not going to end. Though I texted her sometimes in the day but did got response just of one. I was angry from inside and not on anyone else, it was me upon whom I was agree. I was thinking why I gave that girl so much importance if she doesn’t give the same in return but from inside I knew that I cannot ignore her after all she was one of my closest.

I was fed up of waiting till this time and wanted to be alone so I escaped from this friend I was with at the mall by making an excuse. I just wanted to be alone that time and did not wanted to talk to anyone. I reached my home and talked to my mother for some time. No matter in what condition you are, talking to mother will always give you a special kind of relief. Same happened to me but still I was not fully well so decided to watch a movie one computer.

After watching the movie I went out for the dinner and while returning from Dinner I got call from a friend. It was the one who went out for the wedding. He was calling me to meet up. I took a u-turn in few minutes I was at his home. We went to some place of some other friend and spend some hours with them.

When I  reached home clock was ticking at 12 but I was yet to get response of some time. Sometimes we know what others value us but still we make mistake of hoping from them. I know it was difficult for her but she would have told that to me in the first message itself that she might not get time to meet up.

I knew that her time was important and did not wanted to waste her whole day with me, it was just that I wanted to meet and greet my closest friend on friendship day.

Whatever that had happened between us she is still my closest friend and if its the matter of finding value of some time, that I will surely find out some day....

Hadicapped... not actually

It was a normal day and I was coming back from my home to the city I live. I was waiting for my train to arrive at the railway station and as it was the station of a small town not much of crowd was there. As I was waiting for the train I suddenly saw something which made me think.

I was that there was a little boy on the railway platform who had a girl with him on a wheelchair. By looking at them they seems like brother and sister. They wanted to cross the railway line to go to another platform and they could have done it by crossing the railway lines directly without using the foot over bridge as most of the public was doing there but to my surprise they choose the option which was a difficult one. They choose to go via foot over bridge which only had stairs and difficult to cross by person on a wheelchair.

I watched as they reached the stairs, the girl pulled out a stick a with the help of her brother and the stick she stood up. Then slowly she release shoulder of her brother and took the support from railings. Though it was difficult for her to stand she slowly started to climb the stairs one by one. The brother who was left behind looked at her sister for a moment and when assured that girl can take care of herself he then slowly folded the wheelchair and tried to pull it over the stairs. The boy was very young and it was difficult for him to pull that chair but he was continuously putting his efforts. It took almost 10 minutes for both of them to climb the half way of stairs.

I wanted to go and offer them help but did not wanted to show sympathy which in turn have insulted the efforts they were putting to cross the over bridge so I decided to remain quite.

I watched them and others who were crossing railway lines without the over bridge for few minutes and then my train came. Though I left the station but my mind remained there with that little boy and the girl. I felt that in the crowd of people who breaks laws every day they were both laughing at them.

It was the courage of a person which make him handicap and from the point I am seeing it seems like that girl was not handicapped. It was people who were crossing the railway line without the over bridge and were paralyzed. They both were challenging the world of those mentally paralyzed people and had a smile on their face.

Someday-A Dream

One day I was traveling and these words just appeared in my mind, though I completed it today but it was in my head from last few days.

एक दिन-एक ख्वाब 

बात है ये कल की,

आते हुए रास्ते में झपकी लग गयी।

एक अनोखा ख्वाब आया तब,

भौंचक्का हूँ मैं जिसपे अब तक।

जा पहुंचा था मैं उड़ के एक ऐसी जगह,

लोग कर रहे थे तारीफे अपने देश-ओ-वतन की हर तरह।

हम भी आखिर हिंदुस्तान के रहने वाले है,

बोलने की अगर चैम्पियनशिप हो तो उसमे गोल्ड मैडल लाने वाले है।

बस हिन्दुस्तानी खून ने मारा जोर,

और हमने हुंकार भर कर मचाना शुरू किया शोर।

बोले हम, देश है हमारा महान,

अलग है की नेता हैं यहाँ सबसे ज्यादा धनवान।

आँखें मूँद के चलना यहाँ सबको भाता है,

 अलग है की यहाँ का इंसान किसी पंगे में नहीं पड़ना चाहता है।

देश हमारा धर्मनिरपेक्ष का नारा है,

अलग है की आरक्षण के लिए गुटों का बंटवारा है।

सरकारें हमारी सीधी सादी  है,

अलग है की जेबें खुद अपनी भरती जाती हैं।

जनता हमारी भोली है,

अलग है की सिर्फ जाम लगा के ही बोली है।

लाखों कमियों वाला देश हमारा है,

अलग है की लहराते तिरंगे को सलामी देने को हाथ अपने आप उठ सा जाता है।

  

इतने में आँख खुली तो पाया खुद को सकते है,

फिर मैं बोला खुद से 'सपना ही होगा ये वर्ना नहीं हो सकता ये मेरे जागते में।'
