Wrote this for 50th wedding anniversary of my friend Neha's grandparents..

Apni zindagi aapne akele shuru kiya, lekin pata hi nahi chala kab aapne hamari zindagi ko apna banaliya.
Hamare hasi mein khud hasliye, hamare dukh mein khud roliye.
Dhoop mein chaav bane, aur andhere mein ujala bane.
Wo seekh hi kya jo aapke daat se na ho, wo nivala hi kya jo aapke haath se na ho.
Zindagi ke iss bhaga daudi mein aapne hume jeena sikhaya, oonchayionko choone ke kabil banaya.
Maa papa ka matlab apke bahon mein jana, aaphi ko apna sahara mana.
Aap hine hume sambhala, aap hine hume siraya.
Parivar ka pyaar kya hota hai, ye aapki guzri hui 50 saal ki ekta aur pyar bhari kahani sikhati hai.
Hum sabki yahi dua hai ye pyaar ka dhaga kabhi na ho halka, ye rishta rahe hazaaron janmoka..

Some things never change..

Sitting besides a huge window, in the silent night, under the dark sky, watching the moon glow with a cup of coffee,

My mind just walks behind the memory lane-

Mom's sweet voice as the alarm,

The fight with dad to watch cartoon against cricket,

The whole class was my best friend,

Sis was the greatest enemy when it came to my toys

And the whole world was as small as the globe in the map.

The only difference today is friends are strangers and the size of the world just grows with every mile you walk ahead.

But family.. Family never changed..

Mom still wakes me up,

I fight with dad to watch my favorite channel

And sis will always be the biggest enemy when it comes to my stuff.

The only thing I wonder about is-

Do people change or the way I see them has changed?

Has the world become selfish or I have stopped growing?

Has the world moved on or I have become stagnant?

Have people stopped understanding love and care or I need to be practical?

Some questions will always remain unanswered.

Live!!

One evening I stood at the seashore,

staring at the way the sun settled its reflection in d blue waters..

All I could wonder seeing was the message every drop of water left away in its shine..

"You are not the only one who lives in you"..

Amazed, Confused, Shocked?

The waves touched my feet n said-

“just like the sun seems to be resting within me for peace, calmness n love, 

every human's soul is shared by a perfect partner who knows every art to be loved n cared..

But.. Every man needs to recognise the "perfect" one..

Which seems to be a difficult task..”

The black sea water under the dark sky had a solution to this..

It said "As i become a little noisy in the dark,

humans behave unexpectedly when not loved, cared n trusted".

It was then I realized not every person is compatible with the other in just a single sight.

We all need to live a life to understand the one we chose, just like the sea chose the sun's reflection or may be the sun chose the sea as a perfect mirror..

Dedicated to my best friend :-)

When you walk, he walks with u.

When you are tired and you stop, he holds your hands and makes you walk..

When you smile, he smiles.

When you cry, he makes you smile..

Whatever your eyes see, he makes it most pleasing to them..

Whatever your lips say, he turns it into an amazing tune..

He's the one who knows what your heart says..

He's the one who reads your mind..

The only one who possesses all power to own you.. To love u.. 

The one who catches your every naughty act and mischievous smile..

The one who cares as if you are his baby..

He is your teacher, your guide, your parent and your child..

He is the sunshine, he is the moonlight.. He is love.. He is the grace..

Yes He's your BEST FRIEND..

The one you always wanted, the one you'll always be with..

Respect and love friendship..

With you, now and forever..

I stand under the dark sky when I miss you and I wonder where is my light?

I fail to realise the light of the glowing moon and I wonder if its you who is smiling?

I look at the stars and wonder whether its you who is watching me?

I feel the cold breeze all over me and I wonder if its you who is holding me and whispering into my ears?

And when I turn I watch you open your arms widespread waiting to hold me and love me..

I have been waiting all my life to feel this way..

Just wanna close my eyes, hold you tight and never let this amazing feeling go away.

Want the dark night to go deeper, the moon to keep glowing, stars to keep shining and the cold breeze to keep blowing all my life as long as we are together..

Just wanna feel your warmth all over me just to know I ain’t alone..

Tonight all I can dream is about being with you like this forever and ever..

Love??

"We are born for each other" was the only feeling that arised when I first saw you.

 The feeling got much deeper when you looked back.

 It grew much intense when you saved me from falling down in life..

What happened?

No idea why that wind blew that night which destroyed my world.

The wind which was dark.

The wind which left me insane... Alone... Dead...

I cried for help, cried for life and cried for protection.

You know why?

Because I always felt so protected and joyous in your arms.

Those arms held me so tight and its hard to believe they aren’t around me.

That night was cold.

I trembled.. I broke down, held myself in pain and blanked out..

When I dared to look around, YOU WERE GONE.. Gone..

Is love all abt PAIN?

First time.

"The first time"-

The first time you saw me, I was scared to look at you.

The first time you smiled at me and I just kept looking at you.

The first time you spoke to me, I just smiled.

The first time you held my hand, and I said 'leave somebody's watching'.

The first time you hugged me, and I held you like I am never gonna leave u..

All those first times, it was you who took the first step to make me feel I am being loved for the first time..

The first time all my feelings turned into a whirlpool.

The first time I fell in love.

The first.. First and the last time.. Until for the first time I felt I am missing you.

Today, every time I look at you I wish the first times to come back..

And my wish is never the last time..

You left me with crying eyes, broken smile and shivering hands..

If anytime I am given a rebirth, the only thing I would live for is all the first times wit you.. Only u..

Sacrifice

Walked, ran, screamt, cried..

Finally reached a deserted station of life,

where the tracks stare and say "wait, happiness is on its way and may be late though"..

You see it coming from far away from you..

And now its near near n yes its there.

You board the train and all you see is somebody you always wanted to see but you dont realize its him.

Those two eyes looking at you, lips calling you and arms waiting to hold you.

The next station you are where you wanted to be.

 All happy, nervous, scared.. IN LOVE..

You move with trust as if you see god smile in his eyes.

The next station- u have been stoned with all the hurdles.

U cry, cry and cry badly in need of somebody to hold you but no..

He's gone..

The reason being SACRIFICE.

Yes sacrifice for all the loved ones..

When you get out of the train..

You find yourself on the same station but yes with a new way to see life and a brand new YOU.. LOVE IS NOT JUST BEING WIT EACH OTHER ITS BEING FOR EACH OTHER..

Tu hi hai..

Jabse tujhko dekha tabse tujhko jaana,

jabse tujhko jaana tabse tujhko paaya,

tujhe paake aise lagta hai ki andhere mein ho rahi hai heeron ki baarish,

aur iss ujale mein hon rahi hai puri chand chandani ki khwaish...

Tere paas ati hoon toh aise lagta hai ki qayamat bhi tujhse maar khajaye,

meri duniya sone ki banjaye..

Tujhse door jana matlab kaanch ki tarah khudko todna,

akelepan ke kaale rang mein rangna..

Bas yahi kehna hai tujhse "tuhi meri khushi tuhi mera sawal, tujhse kaise rahun dukhi jab tuhi hai mera jawab. Tuhi mera sukh tuhi mera chaav, ab nahi koi dukh nahi jhoote bhav. Tuhi mera saaya tuhi mera pran, tuhi meri chayan tujhse rahenga mera shaan"

The feel of wrong.

The feeling of being left alone, hurts me.

The feeling of sleeping alone, eats me.

The feeling of being torn apart, scares me.

The feeling of missing some1, kills me.

The feeling of walking on thorns, pricks me.

The feeling of craving for love & peace, destroys me.

The feeling of being in search of happiness, saddens me.

The feeling of losing all my strength, weakens me.

The feeling of losing my life for the WRONG, mortalizes me.

This is just a feeling!What about REALITY?
