When I wrote to myself

Hi,

I am the only person you can trust, isn’t it?

I know you from your birth but the time when I started to analyse you, to feel you, to perceive you, it was perhaps in the middle of your first year of B.E. We are really good friends now. We often talk to each other about everything we have, or we perceive.

When I got admission in the college, I had no plans, no such directions to follow, but when I met you, I got a target, a dream and I started to understand a new concept of my life. You used to keep yourself behind the doors, you were not known. But I remember the talks we had that night, you talked about your conversation with a senior and then you started to change yourself and believe me you changed a lot. This change has brought with itself some GOODs, some BADs but no issue, it is a part of the game called LIFE.

I remember the day when a teacher told you something, something about you, that was the day that triggered a new exception, the crawling shifts to climbing. You set your own priority levels, your own way to achieve, something that you really deserves.

You changed your conversation style, your walk, and your habits (perhaps I never knew them), everything. You indulged in many things, you kept yourself busy but still we used to talk daily. Since then I have seen you shifting your concerns very often, but at root I found you still the same, the same to whom I was introduced.

I remember the day of our 4th sem exams, you got a call from your sister. Your last paper wasn’t in accordance with your expectations but then she said something, something that had a huge impact, result, you got university rank in the exam but soon you started to realise that perhaps these could be the good things but what more important is, something else, something to which we both had not introduced before. The call became a memorable moment, an unforgettable one.

I know, you don’t like any tags on yourself, you prefers variety, same here yaar. But still, I think we need some; it’s true, not because they help us but because they are ours and you, my friend you keep the things that are yours, at a high priority level. Though they are not material things but still have a value even bigger than the material ones.

Do you remember 27th march 2K6, mission MBT (now techMahindra J). I got for what I was here. From the first year, I kept in my mind that I should be placed in the very first chance of mine and I achieved that. But soon I found myself in a state of blank mind, I achieved what I wanted, but you helped me out there. You gave me another target, and I started running again. Soon I was placed in INFOSYS, the company for which I had dreamt about. I often seen Infy in the times Ascent from my 11th standard.

 

I know you got placed in Infy, the company you wanted to work for, but what happened to you since then? Where are your priorities today? Your desires are shortening; they are becoming constrained and restricted. Keep your aim high yaar. Don’t let your desires dumped, give them a push, have variety of thoughts.

I think you need to fill your petrol tank; you have cards, use them. I know you used to attempt mistakes in the first try, but my friend mistakes are to learn not for attempting another one.

I am friend of yours and make sure that we will get the time together to have good talks in future too. Keep this friendship forever.

जिंदगी! आज भी है

जिंदगी है दिन, जिंदगी है रात
जिंदगी में शाम आज भी है.
जिंदगी है तन्हा, जिंदगी
जिंदगी में खुशी का एक लम्हा आज भी है.

आँखों में नींद, चेहरे पे खौफ
होंठो पे मुस्कान आज भी है.
जिंदगी से गुस्सा, जिंदगी है सूखी
मौत का डर आज भी है.

बोतल है भरी, जाम है कड़वा
पीने वालो की तादाद आज भी है.
है जिंदगी पे पहरे, बंदिशे जिंदगी पर
महफिलों में रंगत आज भी है.

जिंदगी बे-मज़ा, बे-जायका, बे-मतलब
जिंदगी से प्यार आज भी है.
है रात काली, आसमान काला
फजर के आफ़ताब का नूर आज भी है.

रात अँधेरी, सूनी गलियां
तारों की टीम-टीमआहट आज भी है.
आँखों में नमी, दिलमें है शंका
मन में जज्बा आज भी है.

अनजान सी सूरत, बे-नाम है तू,
तेरी जुल्फों में खुशबु आज भी है.
बातो में गुस्सा, चेहरे पे नाराज़गी
आँखों में तेरी शर्म आज भी है.

जिंदगी रुकी- रुकी सी,
जिंदगी में उठा-पटक आज भी है.

शीशे में क़ैद, जंजीरों में जकड़ी,
दीवारों के बीच, बिना छत के,
जिंदगी घुटन भरी, मौत के करीब
कफन की तलाश में है जिंदगी!!!

पर, पर जिंदगी से उम्मीदे आज भी हैं............

Why is it so, I don’t know


Is it good or is it bad
Am I happy or am I sad
This is a question, I don’t have answer
Why is it so, I don’t know.

Is it too low or it is on high
While being talky, why am so shy
Still living, don’t want to die
Why is it so, I don’t know.

Still so far why it seem(ed) so near
You are too loud but not so clear
Is it an enemy or it is my dear?
Why is it so, I don’t know.

Slightly ahead but no pace
Don’t want to win still in the race
While running I am feeling thirsty
Why is it so, I don’t know.

Smile on face still the heart cries
"Waiting"- it will be ten of the two fives
LIFE is running LIFE is running
Why is it so, I don’t know.

I need you lets go for a walk
I need you...with me have some talk
I am living as I don’t want to...
Why is it so, I don’t know.

Had a game with the destiny on the urge of tie
Had enough food still I need my pie
Need a sleep don’t want to die
Why is it so, I don’t know.

“Was”, “Is” & “Will be”

It is better to think about “What is” than to get indulged into “What was” & “What will be”.
On the other side, if we keep concentrating upon “What will be” then there will be no need to think upon “What is”. That means everything should be planned. On the other hand, the first side support the fact that gets planned on the spot.
So which one will be more beneficial or efficient?
According to “Is” factor, we have to be more attentive and accurate, and fast too, so as to change the happenings with our steps. And according to the “Will be” factor we have to be more imaginative, predictive and creative. But only creativity will not work. Our creativity should be according to our predictions and imaginations. Our predictions should be accurate. But in this, we need not to be as attentive as in case of the earlier approach.
In both approaches, at least one thing is common- disregard “What was”. Is “Was” such a weak word?
I don’t think so. I think “Was” itself is very strong. If used correctly it can affect “What is” and “What will be”. However it is neglected everywhere, but don’t forget what is “Was” now, was “Is” sometime ago and it was “Will be” before it became “Is”. So what we are getting is “Was” is not neglected but given the top priority because it was considered before what is “Is” now and what will be the “Will be” tomorrow.
