Tum Ho Toh...

Tum Ho To Gaata Hai Dil ,
Tum Nahin To Geet Kahan,
Tum Ho To Hai Sab Haasil,
Tum Nahin To Kya Hai Yahan
Tum Ho To Hai Sapno Ke Jaisa Haseen Ek Sama
Jo Tum Ho To Yeh Lagta Hai Ke Mil Gayi Har Khushi
Jo Tum Na Ho Yeh Lagta Hai Ke Har Khushi Mein Hai Kami
Tumko Hai Maangti Yeh Zindagi…..

Tum Ho To Raahen Bhi Hai,
Tum Nahin To Rasthey Kahan
Tum Ho To Yahan Sab Hi Hai,
Tum Nahin To Kaun Yahan
Tum Ho To Hai Har Ek Pal Meharbaan Yeh Jahaan
Jo Tum Ho To Hawa Mein Bhi Mohabbat Ka Rang Hai
Jo Tum Na Ho To Phir Koi Na Josh Na Umang Hai
Tum Mile To Mili Yeh Zindagi...

Jane na kahan woh duniya hai ???

Kahin to.. kahin to...
Hogi woh Duniya jahan tu mere saaath hain
Jahan mein Jahan tu
Aur jahan bas tere mere zajbaat hain

Hogi jahan saba teri
Palkon ki kirano mein
Lori jahan chand ki
Sune teri bahon mein...

[Jane na kahan woh duniya hai
Jane na woh hai bhi ya nahi
Jahan meri zindagi mujhse
Inti kafa nahi ] - [2]

Saasein kho gai hai kiski baahon mein
Mein kho gai hoon jane kiski baahon mein
Manzilon se rahe dhondte chali
Aur kho gai hai manzil kahin rahon mein

Kahin to...kahin to hain nasha
Teri meri har mulakat mein
Hoton se hoton ko
Chumti o rehete hai hum har baat pe

Kehti hain fiza jahan
Teri zaameen aasman
Jahan hai tu Meri hasi meri khushi
Meri jaan....

[Jane na woh hai bhi ya nahi
Jahan meri zindagi mujhse
Inti kafa nahi ] - [2]

Gone are those Days... !!!

When,
The school reopened in June,
And we settled in our new desks and benches !
When we queued up in book depot,
And got our new books and notes !
When we wanted two Sundays and no Mondays,
yet managed to line up daily for the morning prayers.
We learnt writing with slates and pencils, and
Progressed To fountain pens and
ball pens and then Micro tips!
When we began drawing with crayons
and evolved to Color pencils
and finally sketch pens!
When we started calculating first with tables and then
with Clarke's tables and advanced to
Calculators and computers!
When we chased one another in the corridors in Intervals,
and returned to the classrooms Drenched in sweat!
When we had lunch in classrooms, corridors,Playgrounds,
under the trees and even in cycle sheds!
When all the colors in the world,
Decorated the campus on the Second Saturdays!
When a single P.T. period in the week's Time Table,
Was awaited more eagerly than the monsoons!
When cricket was played with writing pads as bats,
And Neck ties and socks rolled into balls!
When few played "kabadi" and "Kho-Kho" in scorching sun,
While others simply played "book cricket"
in the Confines of classroom!
Of fights but no conspiracies,
Of Competitions but seldom jealousy!
When we used towatch Live Cricket telecast,
In the opposite house in Intervals and Lunch breaks!
When few rushed at 3:45 to "Conquer" window seats in our School bus!
While few others had "Big Fun", "
peppermint","Kulfi", "milk ice!"
and "sharbat!" at 4o Clock!

Gone are the days
Of Sports Day,
and the annual School Day,
And the one-month long preparations for them.

Gone are the days
Of the stressful Quarterly,
Half Yearly and Annual Exams,
and the most enjoyed holidays after them!

Gone are the days
Of tenth and twelth standards,
when we spent almost the whole year writing revision tests!

We learnt,
We enjoyed,
We played,
We won,
We lost,
We laughed,
We cried,
We fought,
We thought.
With so much fun in them, so many friends,
So much experience, all this and more!

Gone are the days
When we used to talk for hours with our friends!
Now we don't have time to say a `Hi'!

Gone are the days
When we played games on the road!
Now we Code on the road with laptop!

Gone are the days
When we saw stars shining at Night!
Now we see stars when our code doesn't Work!

Gone are the days
When we sat to chat with Friends on grounds!
Now we chat in chat rooms.....!

Gone are the days
Where we studied just to pass!
Now we study to save our job!

Gone are the days
Where we had no money in our pockets and still fun filled on our hearts!!
Now we have the atm as well as credit card but with an empty heart!!

Gone are the days
Where we shouted on the road!
Now we don't shout even at home

Gone are the daysWhere we got lectures from all!
Now we give lectures to all... like the one I'm doing now....!!

Gone are the days
But not the memories,
which will beLingering in our hearts for ever and ever and Ever and ever and ever.....

Gone are the Days.... But still there are lot more Days to come in our Life!!

NO MATTER HOW BUSY YOU ARE,
DONT FORGET TO
LIVE THE LIFE THAT STILL
EXISTS......

As Hard As IT Gets ...

Before you try for success,the sun might go down,
The night may be too blind to see your scars.
But no matter what,do wait for the dawn,
God is waiting for the right time to open his arms.

Light will brighten your life one day,

though today it might be full of dismay.

You never know you will strike the treasure anyday,

be sure the wealth of happiness is there on your way.

so walk on the path of your troubles and trials,
the more you get polished,the more you will get to shine.
You will find a "yes" someday in the fate's denials,
no wonder you will fly high,even above cloud no. nine.

The tougher the challenge,the tougher you will get,

you would walk through the dark when the sun gets set.

Though you would stumble and often hold the grudges,

but you have to prove yourself first,to get the results.

The more it hurts,the more you become used to the pain,
and then you realize the pain doesnt remain the same.
Its not being defeated by it but accepting the pain,
only after bearing it,the tears of joy will rain.

The pain,failures,sorrows and heartbreaks,

I have realized,in life,nothing goes in vain.

Its not easy to face them and forget all the regrets,

but these are like steps of the ladder called our "strength".

Do keep climbing this ladder,
you will be going high,the height doesnt matter.
Someday if the ladder seems much higher,
Rest for sometime but dont think to retire.

Just keep climbing those steps,one by one,

And you will find all your worries much smaller.

For all these steps have a meaning for their position,

only thing thats big is your persevering nature.

so as painful as it hurts and as harder as it gets,

This is the lesson to be learnt for you,me and everyone...

That Somebody is ME...

You...do you remember me?
Like I remember you..
Do you spend your life going back in your mind to the time...

Because I...,I walk the streets alone

I hate being on my own

And everyone can see that I relly fell
And I am going through hell
Thinking about you with somebody else...

Somebody wants you,

Somebody needs you,

Somebody dreams about you every single night,

Somebody cant breathe without you,its lonely,

Somebody hopes someday you will see

That somebody is ME

How...how could we go wrong?
It was so good and now its gone

And I pray at night that our paths will soon cross

And what we had isnt lost

Cause you're always right here in my thoughts...

somebody wants you,

somebody needs you,
somebody dreams about you every single night

somebody cant breathe without you,its lonely

somebody hopes someday you will see

That somebody is ME

Oh yeah

You will always be in my life

even if I am not in your life

Because you are in my memory...

You....will you remember me?

And before you set me free

listen please....

somebody wants you,

somebody needs you,

somebody dreams about you every single night

somebody cant breathe without you,its lonely

somebody hopes someday you will see

That somebody is ME

That somebody is ME

That somebody is ME

That somebody is ME

A Prayer That I forgot -- Paulo Coelho

Lord, protect our doubts, because Doubt is a way of praying। It is Doubt that makes us grow because it forces us to look fearlessly at the many answers that exist to one question. And in order for this to be possible. . .

Lord, protect our decisions, because making Decisions is a way of praying. Give us the courage, after our doubts, to be able to choose between one road and another. May our YES always be a YES, and our NO always be a NO. Once we have chosen our road, may we never look back nor allow our soul to be eaten away by remorse. And in order for this to be possible. . .

Lord, protect our actions, because Action is a way of praying. May our daily bread be the result of the very best that we carry within us. May we, through work and Action, share a little of the love we receive. And in order for this to be possible. . .

Lord, protect our dreams, because to Dream is a way of praying. Make sure that, regardless of our age or our circum­stances, we are capable of keeping alight in our heart the sacred flame of hope and perseverance. And in order for this to be possible. . .

Lord, give us enthusiasm, because Enthusiasm is a way of praying. It is what binds us to the Heavens and to Earth, to grown-ups, and to children; it is what tells us that our desires are important and deserve our best efforts. It is Enthusiasm that reaffirms to us that everything is possible, as long as we are totally committed to what we are doing. And in order for this to be possible. . .

Lord, protect us, because Life is the only way we have of making manifest your miracle. May the earth continue to transform seeds into wheat, may we continue to transmute wheat into bread. And this is only possible if we have Love; therefore, do not leave us in solitude. Always give us Your Company, and the company of men and women who have doubts, who act and dream and feel enthusiasm, and who live each day as if it were totally dedicated to Your glory….

यही जीना है तो फ़िर मरना क्या हैं ?

शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़के करना क्या हैं ?
जब यही जीवन है दोस्तों, तो फ़िर मरना क्या हैं ?

पहली बारीश मे ट्रेन लेट होने की फ़िक्र है
भुल गए भीगते हुए टहलना क्या है ?
"Serials" के किरदारों का सारा हाल है मालूम
पर माँ का हाल पूछने की फ़ुरसत किसे है ?
अब रेत पे नंगे पाँव टहलते क्यों नहीं ?
एक सौं आठ हैं चैनल फ़िर दिल बहलते क्यों नहीं ?
"Internet" की दुनिया के तो Touch मे हैं,
लेकीन पडोस मे कौन रहता हैं जानते तक नहीं.
"Mobile", "Landline" सब की भरमार हैं,
लेकीन जिगरी दोस्त तक पहुँचें ऐसे तार कहाँ हैं ?
कब डुबते हुए सूरज को देखा है, याद हैं ?
कब जाना था शाम का वो बनना क्या हैं ?

तो दोस्तों शहर की इस दौड़ में दौड़के करना क्या हैं ?
जब यही जीवन है दोस्तों, तो फ़िर मरना क्या हैं ?

which was better, the former or the latter???

Dad used to give us Rs. 20/- per month, in that we were not only able to eat
stomachs fill,but we were able to save too!!!
Now we earn a sum of 20K, we have no idea where it goes, let alone saving it!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

6 subjects per year, 6 different teachers!
One project since we joined and just one manager!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

We used to make notes; we used to study for ranks!!
Now we scan thru our mails; we struggle for our ratings!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

We have still not forgotten the people in the next section!!!
Now we don’t even know who sits in the next cubicle!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

After getting back from a tiring play, we used to do our home work!!
Now who knows/cares about home; all we do is just work!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

We knew our history and economics!!
Now let alone reading books, we don’t even catch up with the daily news!!!

Which was better, the former or the latter???

We had an aim in life; behind our backs we had our teachers!!
Now we have no idea about the future nor do we find any one who would tell us anything!!!

Now just ask yourself,which was better, the former or the latter???

जो बीत गई.... !

जो बीत गई सो बात गई !
जीवन में एक सितारा था,
माना, वह बेहद प्यारा था,
वह डूब गया तो डूब गया;
अंबर के आनन को देखो,
कितने इसके तारे टूटे,
कितने इसके प्यारे छूटे,
जो छूट गए फिर कहाँ मिले;
पर बोलो टूटे तारों पर
कब अंबर शोक मनाता है!
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !

जीवन में वह था एक कुसुम,
थे उस पर नित्य निछावर तुम,
वह सूख गया तो सूख गया;
मधुवन की छाती को देखो,
सूखीं कितनी इसकी कलियाँ,
मुरझाईं कितनी वल्लरियाँ
जो मुरझाईं फिर कहाँ खिलीं;
पर बोलो सूखे फूलों पर
कब मधुवन शोर मचाता है;
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !

जीवन में मधु का प्याला था,
तुमने तन-मन दे डाला था,
वह टूट गया तो टूट गया;
मदिरालय का आँगन देखो,
कितने प्याले हिल जाते हैं,
गिर मिट्टी में मिल जाते हैं,
जो गिरते हैं कब उठते हैं;
पर बोलो टूटे प्यालों पर
कब मदिरालय पछताता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !

मृदु मिट्टी के हैं बने हुए,
मधुघट फूटा ही करते हैं,
लघु जीवन लेकर आए हैं,
प्याले टूटा ही करते हैं,
फिर भी मदिरालय के अंदर
मधु के घट हैं, मधुप्याले हैं,
जो मादकता के मारे हैं,
वे मधु लूटा ही करते हैं;
वह कच्चा पीने वाला है
जिसकी ममता घट-प्यालों पर,
जो सच्चे मधु से जला हुआ
कब रोता है, चिल्लाता है !
जो बीत गई सो बात गई !

~हरिवंशराय बच्चन~

कुणाच्या इतक्याही जवळ जावू नये....

कुणाच्या इतक्याही जवळ जावू नये
की आपल्याला त्याची सवय व्हावी
तडकलेच जर ह्र्दय कधी
जोडतांना असह्य यातना व्हावी

डायरीत कुणाचे नाव इतकेही येवू नये
की पानांना ते नाव जड व्हावे
एक दिवस अचानक त्या नावाचे
डायरीत येणे बंद व्हावे

स्वप्नात कुणाला असंही बघु नये
की आधाराला त्याचे हात असावे
तुटलेच जर स्वप्न अचानक
हातात आपल्या कहीच नसावे

कुणाला इतकाही वेळ देवू नये
की आपल्या क्षणाक्षणावर त्याचा अधिकार व्हावा
एक दिवस आरशासमोर आपणास
आपलाच चेहरा परका

कुणाची इतकीही ओढ नसावी
की पदोपदी आपण त्याचीच वाट बघावी
त्याची वाट बघता बघता
आपलीच वाट दिशाहीन व्हावी

कुणाची इतकेही ऐकू नये
की कानात त्याच्याच शब्दांचा घुमजाव व्हावा
आपल्या ओठातूनही मग
त्याच्याच शब्दांचा उच्चार व्हावा

कुणाची अशीही सोबत असू नये
की प्रत्येक स्पंदनात ती जाणवावी
ती साथ गमवण्याच्या केवळ भीतीने
डोळ्यात खळकन अक्ष्रू जमावी
