Happy Friendship Day

Hi Friends,
Many years ago I wrote this for 7 no's Friendship Day's party.. Today I wanna tell you once again.. I'm really blessed to have friends like you in my life :)

Aaj din hai dosti ka,
Dosti ka ek paigaam,
Sirk aapke naam...

Dosti, ek rishta,
Samudra sa vishaal,
Dosti, wo aasmaan,
Jiski chhanv tale,
Har gam sirf guzra hua kal,
Aur har khushi,
Ek sunahra pal.
Dosti, ek mahki si hawa,
Ek khubsurat ghazal,
Ek atoot vishwas,
Ek pyara ahsaas.
Aur dost...
Har pyaare pal ke saathi,
Sachche saathi,
Dost, teri dosti, tere pyaar ko salaam...

Ho gayi hai shaam...

Arey, ye kya hua

Ye andhera, ye jaam,

Kya sach me din dhal gaya,

Kya ho gayi hai shaam?

Abhi-abhi to subah thi,

Main neend se tha jaaga,

Kuch sapne the, jo karne the poore,

Main peechhe tha unke bhaaga.

Abhi-abhi to bas pakdi thi,

Jo ghumaati mujhe sansaar,

Abhi-abhi to kadam rakha tha,

Zindagi me pahli baar.

Abhi hi to pahchaana tha,

Kya jhooth hai, kya sachchai,

Abhi-abhi to jana tha,

Kya hai rishton ko gahraayi.

Abhi-abhi to anjaane bhi

Dost banaye the,

Na jaane unke saath,

Kitne jashna manaaye the.

Abhi-abhi to seekha tha,

Banana naye naye plan,

Aur karna apni jeet ka,

Poori duniya me elaan.

Seekha tha humne jeetna,

Par seekhi bhi thi haar,

Seekha tha roothna-manaana,

Seekhi thi takraar.

Wo dosto ki mahfil,

Wo chhoti si baat,

Kuch kah di, kuch rah gayi,

Aur ho gayi raat.

Pata na chalaa tha,

Ki dhal chuka hai din,

Aur rah gayi hai sirf,

Ye raat taare gin.

Guzaar diya waqt,

Na jaane kya paane ki chaah me,

Par kho gaye hum kahin,

Us manzil ki hi raah me.

Kaise jaaye wapas,

Koi to pataa do,

Kya ye jashna ke hain jaam

Mujhe koi to bataa do?

Koi to raah dhoondhni hi padegi,

Kal subah fir jaagna hai.

Ek naye sapne ke peechhe,

Kal subah fir bhaagna hai.

Aaj to jo hua, so hua,

Abhi karte hain aaraam,

Kal fir subah aayegi,

Abhi ho gayi hai shaam.

That suffocating eve of The Hostel !

There are always things in life which change so much too soon that we don’t even get time to analyze them. Things do happen, they are meant to be. It’s just up to us how we let them come about. One day or one night is enough to transform one’s world. And sometimes, one moment as well. Changes don’t come giving us an alarm. Or even if they, we are not always blessed to understand them. And even if we understand them, it’s important to keep ourselves cool, calm and composed.

You might be thinking, why I’m telling all this to you. Actually it once happened with me too. I am a student, studying in a prestigious and renowned institute. I enjoy my life as every other adolescent in this world. I have friends and I like to enjoy with them. Like every other day, I returned from my classes and sat with my friends in their dome planning the evening. And then, after sometime, something happened which made such a deep impact on my life, I might not get able to stop thinking about it. How worse the things can be, if you don’t treat them well, I understood just after that incident.

It was a sunny and tiring day. After attending a bunch of classes, I with my friends Ritika, Apurva, Nandini and Priya, returned back to the hostel. Our hostel is solely for girls. We all have habit of making freaky plans there. As we all returned, instead of moving directly to my room, I entered my friends’ dome and we kicked off our hilarious talks. We were screaming, laughing, playing and enjoying. Suddenly a deep far voice entered our ears. The voice heard familiar at the first earshot but we didn’t try hard to understand what message it was trying to convey us. We kept continue our chatting and after sometime I felt the urge to go back to my room. I waved them a goodbye happily and left the room. While passing through all the corridors between our rooms, I saw each gaze was frantic. Everyone seemed to be freezed and panic. I could now make out what was that voice for. The day had come. We had no choice but to witness that crisis.

I had never been so much helpless in my life before. All I could see was tall standing walls and boys around them. It was not like I’m sick or scared of boys, but it seemed like every male human being is shifting himself in my hostel. At the same time, whole world of juniors was seemed to be disobeying me. Whatever I said, they ignored. Wherever I went, people burst. For me they were aimless brutes.

The warden was shouting. All had strict orders to stay in the room and co-operate. I had no idea what she meant by the “co-operation”. I couldn’t understand even a single thing and whenever I tried to apply my silly logic, I found myself more confused and suffocated. I went from one place to another screaming for help, but none seemed to care. Air was getting more and more tense. I could see boys, more boys, shifting their each and every stuff in my hostel – The Girls’ Hostel. I saw every corner. Everything seemed to be moving around my eyes. It was hard enough for me to keep hold of my sight. I prayed God and tried to realize what is happening and why. The suffocation was now killing me.

I tried hard to focus but everything became blurred. The entire scene was white now. And suddenly it became dark. Where was I? With much of the effort I sensed my surroundings. I realized that I’m alive, Awake and lying on my bed. Everything I could found there was that There is no Change. Oh! I was dreaming once again. I thanked God and solaced myself for that nightmare has came to an end. And I lay down long trying to suspire, still unable to make out anything from everything.

Socho to kya hoga?

This poem is all about the thinking and the real way of living life....

What is there in the thinking? Is it making our life hard? Or is making it more easier to live?

Just think at once.... and the world will be yours....

(I wrote this poem only after coming to the college life and also got a prize for it in an event held at our college)

Suno Saathiyon, Namaskaar, Aadaab Arz Hai, Sat Shri Akaal,

Kyon ho pareshaan, kyon ho itne behaal,

Yahaan hai swaagat aapka, macha lo jitni chahe dhamaal,

Hanslo muskaalo thoda - Kaho kaisa hai khyaal?

Baat to bhai nayi hai, nahi hai koi purani,

Kya meri, kya teri, hai sabki ek kahaani.

Bita di sochne me, abhi tak apni umra saari,

Aaz bina soche din guzaara, dekha zindagi hai kitni pyari.

Chaar din ki hi to yeh zindagi hai, pal bhar me yeh guzar jayegi,

Is ek pal ko to jeele jee bharke, nahi to yeh bhi tadpaa jayegi.

Zindagi jeene ke liye, sochna zaroori bilkul nahi,

Par hum soche bhi, to kya hoga...... Jeena yahin, hai marna yahin.

Chalo aaz phir se, hum soche ek baar,

Lekin sochne ka hoga alag andaaz.

Zindagi ko rulana nahi, khushgawaar banana hai,

Socho to kya hoga, phir aisi zindagi ka raaz.

Abhi to hum chhote hain, par itne bhi nahi khote hain,

Shuru huye hain naye-naye college, badh rahi hai din pe din knowledge.

Yahaan aake kuch duniya aur hai humne dekhi,

Paye hain kuch anubhav, aur sochi hain kuch baat,

Kitna achchha ho din me, jo ho sirf aath ghante,

Aur beete woh saara waqt bhi, manate huye chaandni raat.

Saptaah bhi badle zaldi, maheene me baar-baar,

Din bas aaye do hi, shanivaar aur ravivaar.

Poora din masti me beete, khaate-peete-sote,

Na jaana pade class kabhi, sapne me bhi rote-rote.

College agar jaana bhi padhe, to ho sirf jagah teen,

Ek hamara Computer Centre, masti bhare Club aur Canteen.

Saara samay bitaaye hum kisi jheel ke kinaare,

Aur soche sapne bade haseen aur pyaare-pyaare.

Socho, doston socho, sochne me koi Tax nahi lagega,

Kuch mazedaar, yaadgaar socho, zindagi bhar woh yaad rahega.

Socho to duniya kuch bhi nahi, aur socho to yeh hai badi hi haseen,

Socho to yeh badi berang hai aur, socho to hai dilkush, dilnasheen.

Sochna samay ki zaroorat hai yaaron, kuch bhi socho, par zaroor socho,

Socho to kya hoga? Yeh na socho kabhi, Par duniya tumhare sochne se hai, yeh zaroor socho.
