A Date..............

Ever wondered a day when you wake up and you have no worries about going to office or attending any telecon....no worries about meeting a deadline for the project, no going for a weekly marketing, no grocery, no stroll with friends, no tete-e-tete with old mates, no phone calls to attend, no mails to check and absence of many similar "daily" chores which kept you busy since the day you knew your existence.

The only task that you have to do is to meet someone and explore him/her. Yes !! I am talking about a date............ A full-day date.

Now imagine that this date is slightly different than your normal dates with your boyfriend / girlfriend whom you can never know but only predict with high accuracy. So a date where queries like what will he/she be thinking, what is he/she thinking, and what was he/she thinking have no place.A date with a person whom you always knew. A date with a person closest to you. A date with a person who also knows you better. A date with yourself.....................

After traveling a lot of places in India with a fractured and confused mind, I was planning to invite myself someday for a date....I did all my homework before that...During all my trip I met many people from different strata of society, different professions, different goals, different lifestyles, and different attitudes.......... Even different differences.... Not only that I met them and tried to understand them, I did the entire counseling for myself with them.... The aim was to put forth the entire conclusion and list of questions to myself when I will date myself....

At the same time, especially in last few days, I also started interacting with myself to develop a contact so that when "we" date, it should not turn out to be a blind date.... After all, you must know the person before you ask him/her out....Yesterday I got this opportunity to invite myself on for a complete full-day date. A date where I will get a chance to spend time with myself, will learn about what are my interests, my hobbies, my priorities, my goals, my ambitions, my way of talking, my childhood, my teen, my youth, my prospective future.............. A date where I will sip a coffee with myself, will ask questions to myself and will seek answers.... A date where I will do what I like the most. A date where I will meet "the real me"....

The day when I dated myself. It was an unusual date. From morning till evening, dating myself and observing my traits............

I started the day with a cup of coffee and some general instruction from my brother before he went for work. I was "Home Alone" in a big house , and was wondering what I should do now. Should I check my mails and get confused with lots of things to do, or should I call my friends who lives nearby but I haven't met them from ages. Should I read an online newspaper or should I watch movie......

By the last sip of coffee, I realized that I may never get a full free day in coming future and the best way to utilize is to offer myself for a date ...to myself. Let me spend a day with myself. Let me do what I liked the most. Let me talk to myself. Let me observe myself. Let my mind take a back-seat and let my heart drive the day. Let me Know myself...........I put back the cup in the sink and moved back to the living room to start dating myself....

The first rule of the date is not to be over excited or anxious. You will mess up the things. Well begun; half done. To avoid any anxiety, I watched MTV for 15 minutes. I don't like watching MTV and other similar "crap". That's what I replied to myself. Bingo !!!!! The conversation has started. I like watching comparatively serious stuff. Something intellectual. Something with depth. Some meaning..... I simply can't stand stand-ups, music videos, traditional 'bollywood' , soap operas etc....I switched the channel to NDTV 24 X 7, something better......

Once the anxiety is over, conversation should delve deeper into interests. Look into the eyes of your date and ask what he/she likes to do that makes him/her happy. An honest answer came suddenly, I love cooking.....Well it's not the only answer... There are 100s of me in myself, someday someone takes precedence, someday someone else..... But the maximum me's compose who am I.... So most of them liked cooking....I planned to cook dinner for tonight.....

My obvious next question to myself was why do I like cooking???? And the answer came almost instantaneously I love perfect dining......Good Food served in a good style.

What should I do in the meantime? Explore next trait of myself. What interests me more than cooking, I asked myself. And in a blink of eyes, "let's enjoy nature in all its forms".Music in the form of kishore & lata, weather in the form of snow, taste in the form of tea, philosophical books in form of reading and smile in the form of peace.......I was all set to explore myself................

Well to some extent, this is the next step of dating. Romance. I was having romance with myself. Who said you need person of opposite sex to romance. Romance is a state of mind, a feeling which can only be felt. I was romantic at that moment.

I switched music from light songs to instrumental and started tapping foot.... Slowly I moved to dancing.... Dancing all alone in the room .. Dancing sensuosly with myself..... Yes !! I was having gala time with myself...this feeling was entirely different.....To me it seems as the best date ever..... A date lacking mind games.....A date so relaxed... A date so sensuous... A perfect date... A date with myself.............

To take this romance to more heights I slowed the music, sat on the bed, opened an inspirational ("non-technical") book and sipped tea while reading it... An incredible experience to me. ..I realized that I don't even remember when was the last time I read such books.... Topics that have always fascinated me....Topics that always keeps my mind active....Topics that make me feel "out of crowd" in my own eyes....I realized that I lost touching the ground way long back in the mad rush and rat race of ambitions and "proving myself".... These things are the "stuff" that I always wanted to do but never did. Why ???

No replies.

Did I ever want to be an engineer? or Software developper??? Did I never want to be a writer or a poet or a chef or an artist??

No replies.

What is the measure of success? Money? Power ? Recognition ? Doing great job in your own eyes ? Appreciation for your work ????

No replies.

It was not that I had no replies to these queries. In fact I never had a satisfying reply.

I asked many questions to myself today. Many questions which made me explore me better.

What are my goals ? and why are they so important to me ? How is my past affecting my present and future ? Am I really controlling my life??

It may sound philosophical but to me it was a great experience. I was enjoying every bit of confusion. I was enjoying restlessness......

I did many things today which I always wanted to do but never got time for one or other reason.I did paint a cartoon.....I did take some photographs. I did experiment at cooking. I did listen some ghazals. Read some books. Watched some talks. Read newspaper and magazine.....

I enjoyed the day as if there will be no tomorrow. I will never get a chance to be with myself again........

In the evening, I went with my brother to some mall. Had some interesting stimulating talks with him......

I feel that this was the best day so far in my life when I dated myself. I had romance with myself. By the end, I almost fell in love with myself. Me, who is hidden behind thick technical books, jargonized talks, fake ambitions and pseudo image.......

By the end of date I was sure that I have a very beautiful mind and a lovely heart...

One mistake in dating is that people dont turn back to call their date at night after the date. This is an important rule. If you want to date again, call him/her up for a small talk. Maybe before you sleep. Or at least drop an SMS. Just talk as how your day went. Whether he/she enjoyed. If he/she is looking forward or not to more such dates etc.

I want to date myself often so I am not going to do this mistake.................


It's 12.10 in the night, I am blogging A date with myself.

The Dog.......

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away.

But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices he has a note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well."The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar Note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog.

So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street when he comes To a level crossing.
The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him all the way.

The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable.The butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the front, looks at the number, and goes back to his seat.
Another bus comes. Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it's the right bus, and climbs on. The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus.The bus travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the dog Looking at the scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus. Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth. Well, dog and butcher are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house. He walks up the path, and drops the groceries on the step.

Then he walks back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself against the door. He goes back down the path, runs up to the door and again, it throws himself against it. There's no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the garden. He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door.

The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name are You doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me!" to which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."

Reflection: Looks like some, people will never be satisfied with what they've got.

When it comes to the work place, Employers do not know how to appreciate their people who have served them loyally through the years. I've seen companies lose good people for the simple fact their leaders failed to show appreciation. Employers with big egos enjoy the fact that they have more power and authority than others. They show, in the way they give orders and directions, that they think they are superior. They get a kick out of displaying this superiority. People who do this are fools, and everyone but them knows it. They are never satisfied because they could not be satisfied even if their people perform well.They don't listen to the opinion and ideas of their subordinates. Why? Because of their stupid pride and insecurity.

People of this kind will never be satisfied. Why? Because they are so busy wrapped up in themselves and, fact is, the self can never be satisfied. Happy and productive people are always those who are "others-centered" rather than "self- centered." The greatest idea of leadership is not someone who throws his weight around. Rather, he is a servant. As Bible would say, "He who wish to be a leader should first be a servant." His joy is derived from delivering a job that others benefit from his contribution. Aim for service and success will follow.

Unke liye is dilse ab bhi sirf duayein hi nikalti hein......

Bewafai se hi to wafa ki ehmiyat ka pata chalta hey,
Ruswai se hi to mohabbat ki ehmiyat ka pata chalta hey...

Kya baddua dun unko jinhoney in baton ka muje ehsaas karaya hey,
Hum to jee rahey they khawabon may, unhoney hakkikat se samna karaya hey......

Ki is khudgerz zamaney may mohabbat bhi sarey aam bika karti hey,
Khudgerzi kabhi dost banker, to kabhi mohabbat ke roop may dikha karti hey...........

Bhula to dun unko, per reh reh ke yaadein laharon ki tarah machalti hein,
Aur unke liye is dilse ab bhi sirf duayein hi nikalti hein...........................

kabhi insan ke sath aisa bhi hota hai.......

Jaante ho,
kabhi insan ke sath aisa bhi hota hai, jaise thahre pani main koyi patthar fainkta hai to us main lehron ka ek dayra banta hai, aur jaise jaise waqt guzarta hai woh dayra bada hota jata hai aur akhir ek waqt ata hai ke woh sahil par khatam ho jata hai..

Jante ho woh thahra pani kya hai ??
Woh duniya hai, aur insan woh patthar hai, jo is duniya main doob jata hai..
Aur jante ho woh lehrein kya hain?
Woh lehrein waqt hai, jo kisi ke liye nahi rukta woh chalta rehta hai aur baar baar insan ko awaz deta hai. Lekin insan waqt se nawakif ho kar us par gor nahi karta...

Magar waqt awaz deta hi rehta hai, aur ek waqt aata hai ke waqt ke paas waqt ke liye waqt khatam ho jata hai.. Tab insan ko pata chalta hai ke waqt to usay peeche chhod gaya...........

Magar meri nazar main kamyab insan woh hai, jo waqt se bhi do pal aage chale..

Meri dua hai ke mera har dost waqt se do pal aage chale,aur apni manzil ko chhunle...............................

Mujhe apne dil ka mehman kaho.....

Mujhe chand kaho,chandni kaho, jaan kaho,
Mujhe apne dil ka mehman kaho..

Mujhe dekho har lamha yunhi,
Mujhe tum apni pehchan kaho...

Mai puri karu tumhari har khwahish,
Mujhe tum apna maan kaho....

Har haal mai tum mujh ko hi socho,
Mujh se dil ka har armaan kaho.....

Har lamha tum ko hi chahu mai,
Mujhe pyar mein tum apni shaan kaho......

Mere dil ki dharti tumhari hi hai,
Us ko zameen kaho, aasman kaho.......

Sab karte hain batein tumhari,
Har arzoo ko meri zuban se kaho........

Tumhari dunia mai khoyi rahti hun,
Mujhe mast kaho, anjan kaho.........

Rakhoon door har gum ko tum se,
Mujhe dost kaho, negebaan kaho..........

Bheek pyar ki apni de do,
Chahey fakir kaho, begum kaho.............

Haste Haste guzarna hai har pal,har lamha......

Zindegi mein dard hua itna mile hue ghavo se,
Humne bhi kiya unka muqabla bade chav se....

Yahi hai mera junoon ki,meri khushi ki dhoop mein na pade koi purchayi,
Bas yeh gum humse kabhi na jeet paye,
Kabhi na ghere in kale baadlon ke saye.......

Haste Haste guzarna hai har pal,har lamha,
Har baar jo ladkhadaye,humein aata hai sambhalna......

Yahi hai mera junoon ki,meri khushi ki dhoop mein na pade koi purchayi,
Bas yeh gum humse kabhi na jeet paye,
Kabhi na ghere in kale baadlon ke saye.............

Ik haqeeqat hai aur ik bas khwab hai......

Yaad aata hai mujhe bachpan mera,
Ek parinda dost tha bas jab mera,
Sang uske udna chaha seekhna,
Par parinda hans diya, aur ud gaya..

Dost meri ek titli bhi to thi,
Jiske rangon ki rahi hasrat mujhe,
Khushboo ka uska safar chahat meri,
Par vo titli muskurai aur ud gayi....

Meri muththi me bahut se juganu bhi the,
Maine socha zindegi roshan karun,
Par jo kholi muththi saare ud gaye........
Meri duniya bas andheri hi rahi,

Ek chidiya roz gana gati thi,
Har subah khidki pe meri rahti thi,
Mein vo gana seekhna bhi chahti thi,
Par meri aawaz us jaisi na thi.............

Chahaten poori nahi ho paati hain,
Jaana us din maine tanha baith kar,
Zindegi hai aur, chahat aur hai,
Ik haqeeqat hai, aur ik bas khwab hai................

No more disk space(By some friend)....

Kal jab mile the,
To dil mein hua ek sound,
Aur aaj mile to kehte hain,
Your file not found!..

Jo muddat se hota aaya hai,
Woh repeat kar doonga,
Tu naa mili to,
Apni zindagi ctrl+alt+delete kar doonga...

Shayad mere pyar ko,
Taste karna bhool gaye,
Dil sey aisa cut kiya,
Ke paste karna bhool gaye.....

Laakhon honge nigaah mein,
Kabhi mujhe bhi pick karo,
Mere pyaar ke icon pe,
Kabhi to double-click karo.......

Roz subha hum karte hain,
Pyar se unhe good morning,
Woh aise ghoor ke dekti hain,
Jaise 0 errors aur 5 warning........

Aisa bhi nahin hai ke,
I don't like your face,
Par dil ke storage mein,
No more disk space..................

Chand bhi tanha hai, Meri tarah.........

Chand bhi tanha hai, Meri tarah,
Is virani raat mein, Qatil ki tarah...

Ankho mein neend nahi Aati,
Bistar par parhi hoon, Kafir ki tarah....

So gaya jag sara,
Phir bhi jaag rahi hoon, Saki ki tarah.....

Dil ki Dhadkane, Badhne lagi hai,
Kahin tadapkar na toot jaye, Ghungroo ki tarah......

Kitni mushkil hai zindgi,
Phir bhi kat jayegi, Jugnoo ki tarah.......

Manzil jitni door hai,
Chahat bhi adhoori hai, Armano ki tarah........

Jitna khudko samjha maine,
Tanha thi, Tanha reh gayi, Khawish ki tarah.................

Finding Patience....

Once a lady was frantically juggling between preparing chili chicken, so her family can have dinner ready after her son's badminton game (during which she had to leave to pick up her husband from work since they have only one car to come home.. and rush everyone to bed in order to meet a work deadline that she didn't finish in the office).....

when she asked her 4 year old son, Mihir, for the 17th time 'Where is your other shoe?' He looks at her and screams back 'I dunno, you had it last'.

It was 5:25 and she was supposed to be at the office of her husband at 5:30 (they live 15 minutes away).......

She couldn't find Mihir's shoe and to top it off, a fight broke out between her oldest son Kunal(8) and daughter ria(5), something about a piece of paper.... Anyway, she screamed at them: "All of you, go to your rooms until I find Mihir's other shoe! I've completely lost my patience with all of you!"............

At that point, Mihir looks at her and says : "Don't worry Mommy, after you help me find my shoe, we'll help you find your patience".............

At that point, the lady inhaled one of those deep 'focus on your breath' type breaths and gave him a big hug 'cause all was good after that!God bless children for being so wise...........

Freedom

Every time I look at myself and think on how much I've gone through, I still hardly believe that I have become the strong person that I am now................

The biggest factor I'd like to consider is my relationship with my parents. I learned to stand on my own, make decisions on my own because they let me do it. This started in my high school years when I'd always to ask permission to go out with friends. My parennts would usually prohibit me, which I found it very disappointing......

But I found solution from my parents then. I would ask their permission and promise them to be back at a designated time, which I did exactly. And things went on between us. I would confide things to them.......my dreams and aspirations, where I want to go and what I want to do.

Even my teenage crushes and love letters given by friends. They would always listen ready to give support. They never scolded me for things I’ve told. I felt how much they appreciated my trust to them................

This gave me so much confidence and encouragement to realize my dreams. I feel good to be free and independent because my parents allowed me to be. Now I pass on the good attitude I got from my parents..........

Most Important Part of the Body....

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy." She said, "No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind." Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, "No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child."

Then atlast, when my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was the first time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa.

She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?" I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in our life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson." She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder." I asked, "Is it because it holds up my head?" She replied, "No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it."

Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a selfish one . It is sympathetic to the pain of others. People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But people will NEVER forget how you made them feel.........

Have lunch with God........bring chips.

A little boy wanted to meet God.He knew it was a long trip to where God lived, so he packed his suitcase with a bag of potatochips and a six-bottle of milk and started his journey.

When he had gone about three blocks,he met an old woman. She was sitting in the park, just staring at some pigeons.The boy sat down next to her and opened his suitcase.He was about to take a drink from his milk bottle, when he noticed that the old lady looked hungry, so he offered her some chips.
She gratefully accepted it and smiled at him. Her smile was so pretty that the boy wanted to see it again, so he offered her a bottle of milk. Again, she smiled at him. The boy was delighted! They sat there all afternoon eating and smiling, but they never said a word.

As evening approached, the boy realized, how tired he was and he got upto leave; but before he had gone more than a few steps, he turned around, ran back to the old woman, and gave her a hug. She gave him her biggest smile ever.

When the boy opened the door to his own house a short time later, his mother was surprised by the look of joy on his face. She asked him,"What did you do today that made you so happy?" He replied, "I had lunch with God." But before his mother could respond, he added, "You know what?She's got the most beautiful smile I've ever seen!"

Meanwhile, the old woman, also radiant with joy, returned to her home.Her son was stunned by the look of peace on her face and he asked,"Mother, what did you do today that made you so happy?" She replied,"I ate potato chips in the park with God."However, before her son responded, she added, "You know, he's much younger than I expected."

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word,a listening ear, an honest compliment,or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Embrace all equally!Have lunch with God........bring chips..............

God is at the window.......

There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their village. And he was given a flute to play with. He practiced, but he could never hit the target. And getting a little discouraged; he headed back to dinner.

As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck.Just out of impulse, he let the flute fly, hit the duck square in the head, and killed it. He was shocked and grieved. In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to see his sister watching. Seema had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch that day Grandma said, "Seema, let's wash the dishes." But Seema said, "Grandma, Joy told me he wanted to help in the kitchen." Then she whispered to him, remember the duck?So Joy did the dishes. Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, "I'm sorry but I need Seema to help make supper." But Seema just smiled and said, "Well that's all right because Joy told me he wanted to help." She whispered again, remember the duck? So Seema went fishing and Joy stayed to help.
After several days of Joy doing both his chores and Seema's, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug, and said, "Sweetheart, I know. You see I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing. But because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Seema make a slave of you."

Moral is : whatever is in your past, whatever you have done and the enemy keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, debt, fear, hatred, anger, Unforgiveness, bitterness, etc.) whatever it is you need to know that :-

*God was standing at the window and he saw the whole thing.
*He wants you to know that,he loves you and that you are forgiven.
*He is just wondering how long you will let the enemy make a slave of you.
*The great thing about God is that, he not only forgives you, but he forgets.

Modern GITA by some friend(nice one)

HEY PARTH ........
Increment nahin mila, bura hua..
Salary cut ho rahi hai, bura ho raha hai..

Retrenchment hoga, wo bhi bura hi hoga...
Tum pichhla review na hone ka paschataap na karo,
Tum agle review na hone ki chinta na karo,
Recession chal raha hai...

Tumhari pocket se kya gaya jo tum rote ho ?
Tum company ke liye kya business laye the jo tumne kho diya ?
Tumne aisa kaun sa product banaya tha jo scrap hogaya ?
Tum koi experience le kar nahin aaye the...

Jo experience liya company se liya...
Jo project kiya company ko diya...
Degree le kar aaye,
experience lekar chale...

Jo function aaj tumhara hai,
Kal kisi aur ka tha...
parson kisi aur ka hoga...

Tum isse apna samajh kar magn ho rahe ho,
Bas yahi khushi tumhari tension ka karran hai...
Kyon wyarth tension lete ho,
kis se wyarth darte hoKaun tumhein nikaal sakta hai ?

Policy change company ka rule hai,
Jise tum policy Change kehte ho,
Wahi to trick hai...

Ek pal mein tum millionare ho jaate ho,
Doosre hi pal mein tum stipend par aa jate ho...
Review, increment etc. etc. man se hata do..
Vichar se mita do phir company tumhari hai,
tum company ke ho...

Na yeh Increments tumhare liye hain,
na tum iske kabil ho..

Parantu job secure hai,
phir tumhein tension kyon hai?
Tum apne aap ko Company ko arpit karo,
Yahin sabse bada Golden Rule hai...
Jo is Golden Rule ko janta hai,
Wo review, incentive, recession se sarvada muqt hai....

Aisa hi hota hai…

Aisa hi hota hai…
K jisko jitna sambhalo..
Utna hi door chala woh jata hai !

Yakeen naa aaye ek bargi,
Lekin aisa wakyaa bhi hota hai …
Rota hai koi tootkar tanhai mein,
Phir bhi duniya mein woh hasta hai …

Lagta hai jaise mitai thi hasti,
Sab jaise ab hara hua sa lagta hai ..
Jaane kitne wade liye-diye,
Chhootne pe sab bojhil sa dikhta hai…

Aisa hi hota hai..
K jisko jitna sambhalo,
Utna hi door chala woh jata hai !

De jata hai sirf kuch ahsaas,
Phir sabkuch pehle sa hota hai ..
Karta hai kuch shikwa-shikayat,
Dil, lekin phir se shamil duniya hota hai..

Naa thamegi uski zindagi,
Naa yahan kuch rukta sa dikhta hai…
Malum hai tum sambhal jaaoge,
Dard toh sirf khone ka ik shayar ko milta hai ….

Ye rooh ke rishtey hain....

Khaamosh guzar te ho ,
Aangan se nakaabo main,
Haule se chhupa dete ho,
Munh apana kitaabon main..

pairon k awaz ko karloge chup,
sans tak bhi rokloge ,
Par dhadkan ka karoge kyaa ,
Aahat to wohi hogi...

Hai pyaar hame tum se,
Hamraaz farishtey hain,
Pehachaan le laankhon main,
Ye rooh ke rishtey hain....

Jara se jhonke ko toofan kehte ho

Jara se jhonke ko toofan kehte ho,
Tut ta chhapar hai aasman kehte ho...

Utho pehchano mrig marichika ko,
Mutthi bhar ret ko registan kehte ho...

Aab badalni padegi paribhashaen,
Socho tum kinko insaan kehte ho...

Naino ka jal abhi sukha nahi hai,
Pehchano unko jinhe mahan kehte ho...

Suchiyan sab sarvajanik to karo,
Jante ho kinko bhagwan kehte ho....

Jamane ko malum hai badmashiyan,
Kaise apne ko nadan kehte ho....

Kabhi jhank kar dekho apne bhitar,
Auron ko kyon saitan kehte ho...........

Sham chhota chahiye

Machharon ne humko katkar chusa hai ish tarah,
Adamkad aeena bhi abb jara chhota chahiye..

Ghar ho ya dalan machhar bhare hain har taraf,
inse bachne,sone ka kamra chhota chahiye...

DDT,malham,agarwati,aur all out,
Abb to mashari ka har chhed chhota chahiye....

Ek chadar saropa badan dhankne nakafi hai,
Ish aafat se bachne kad bhi chhota chahiye....

Suhani yadon ka waqt ho ya gum peene ka,
Machharon se bachne abb sham chhota chahiye.......

Mujhe intezaar hai, ab poora hoga.......

Mujhe intezaar hai,
kab poora hoga …

Khambakht Paros sae jo mehek ati hai..
Pyas ko aur badhati hai.

Jane kab.. ye intezaar poora hoga …
Malum hai, kuch lamhat hee jaanib mere hoga..

Lekin bhook harr pal ab aur behkati hai..
Bhujhegi jaldi hi per aas aur jagati hai..

Aur ab.. Ye intezaar poora hoga..
Mujhe ab jana hai, Khana jo shuru hoga..

Dekhun toh wahan ja karr ki kya nazar hoga.. !
Mujhe intezaar hai, ab poora hoga.......

May be I am needed ,On the next curve......

The Road which goes to mountain heights,
Has ups and downs and lefts and rights.....

It's a narrow path , and slippery too,
Has Hair-Pin-Bends , no end in view........

It is the only way , to the Golden nest,
For all who're brave , and try their best........

The Lake won't flow river won't pause,
Everyone is here , for a noble cause........

The Lord has a role , for me to play,
Some loads to lift , some words to say..........

The time shall come ,when I must rise,
To make a difference , this I realize..........

Till then I should learn and play ,
Help what I can ,Prepare and Pray........

Build myself , be Ready to serve ,
May be I am needed ,On the next curve.............

Apna haath zaraa de dete....

Itne bade aasmman main se,
Kona ek hamain de dete,
Koi naam tumhe ham dete,
Koi naam hamain tum de dete.....

Itne khel khel lete ho,
Khilte ho khushboo dete ho,
Kabhi pass bulakar,
Man ki baat zaraa keh dete......

Dekhi maut paas se jab se,
Hamko jeene ki sudh aayee,
Khushi kahaan hain dhoond rahe hain,
Apanaa saath zaraa de dete.........

Sabhi log aur kitaaben,
Jeene ke raste kahate hain,
Jaan kahaan hai jab jan hee gaye ho,
To hans kar apna haath zaraa de dete.........
