Confessions of a Rain Drop

"Oh, please do not wake me up from dreams of heaven and glory!!"

I was sleeping comfortably when I heard thunder of lighting from outside the home-cloud. Oh! is it the time to be dropped? Are we ready? I quizzed around. And it seemed that it was and we were all set to start. Any moment, I would be out in the air. Free and flying. Thrills of joy were running through my spine. At last, I would get a chance to explore the world outside my home-cloud. And as I was thinking this, I realized I had already started falling.

The feel was awesome. I was numb and excited at the same time. The speed with which Dear Earth was pulling me was amazing. I spread my arms and closed my eyes to feel the freedom and joy. I also shouted many woo-hooo's. I had never felt that way. It was so much fun. When I finally opened my eyes after believing that it was reality, I also saw many of my friends around getting the same opportunity. I could see them glee too and enjoying the fall.

But as Dear Earth started becoming visible to me, a wave of fear ran through my heart. It started beating heavily. The thought of touching the ground was taking my breath away, all of a sudden.

From the home-cloud above, the earth seemed uniformly nice and pleasant. It never occured then, that after coming close enough, I will realize that it is different at every small distance. At one place, it was covered with roses and at the other place, it was a filthy dungeon. In another place, infinite water in which I would merge and at some other place, it had a bed of sand.

On coming even closer, I realized that i could fall on a road-side puddle and get lost or on a leaf of a tree and rest there like a pearl. Or on a lip of a person or on the brow of a beautiful eye. I could make it to the shit of an animal or on the roof of a house.

I realized that all the fun of the journey was in the journey itself. And not the destination because that was something fated.

And I closed my eyes again to meet the fate with open arms as I felt I was just a raindrop and couldn't decide the place I finally rest in.

--------------------------------------------------
 The above portray is not just the falling of a rain-drop but it can be compared to something as big as the journey of our life or as small as targetting a new venture. Or to falling in love or to starting anew for anything in life. ENjoy each of these journeys and not bother about the destination :). The fun lies here..

roz roz

roz nai aata pyar darwaze pe dastak dene..
roz karta nai waqt tum pe itne ehsaan
roz nai karegi ibaadat tumse dosti..
roz karta nai koi tum pe apni jind kurbaan
zindagi to mili hai sabko hi toufe mein..
par kismat se milta hai koi jo kare tumhara intezaar..
khud se pehle kare tumhara charcha khuda se..
saath tumhare rahe har mod aur har diwar
chhod ke jaoge use, hai kya itna aasaan..
muskuraoge jab sunoge kahin se lawz wo 'pyar'..
fir yaad aayega wo sapno ka makaan
jisme tum hote, wo hota aur hote khushi ke pal hazaar

Your silence..

Silence is bad, when it comes from you.
When I cry, and you do not reply.
When I am hurt, and you don't say a word.
When I am lonely, and your lips are pursed tightly.
When tears drip down my cheeks, and you are the one who never speaks.
When time is difficult a bit, and you do not say what should fit.
When it pains and it kills, and you are silent as lonely dark hills
Then I hate you like never before, and you do not love me, I become sure.

My Magician

Well do you know you have a magic wand and you know the tricks quite well


Here you raise it and say ab ra ca da bra and i feel am at the top of the world

Its light all around, wind of laughter flows and scares away all my fears

And there you play with it, in some weird way, chant the wrong words,

We are lost in dark, hell mocks at me and my eyes well up with tears..

Oh my magician, beware, with the way you wand it all,

Oh my smile, my sheen, and my wonderful dream, be kind when you use this power

EMBRACE HAPPINESS

EMBRACE HAPPINESS


All of us are aware of the fact that happiness is not a thing to be owned, it is something that can only be felt. Then why do we all chase happiness?

As Osho puts it, everything in the world runs according to the law, 'you create the cause and the effect follows'. But there is another law which governs still deeper than this - Produce the effect and the cause follows. There is a situation in which you feel happy, say a friend has come and you feel happy. Here, feeling happy is the effect and coming of friend is the cause. Now try this- Create the effect and the cause follows. Be happy and the friend will come.

If you're sitting in your room and watching TV and your mother is scolding you for the messy room. There is a loud music being played in the room nearby. Now, out of these three noises, which one do you hear depends on which one you focus on. Similarly, at any particular moment, there are more than one causes of being happy or being sad. It depends on us which cause we allow to affect us.

Happiness is the God of small things. If we keep on waiting for big things to happen- being master of a million dollar, getting your love, being the king of world etc., the small things that give happiness get neglected. In other words, the more we chase happiness, the farther it gets from us.



Why to wait for the pomp and show?

When each moment is a celebration

and there is a celebration in each mo.



When every moment is like a carnival,

Be it so big or be it trivial

It is a moment to sing, moment to dance,

then why to wait for a hard-earned chance?



So celebrate the surprises that are given by life

The pleasure in gains and even the pain in strife.

Caress the innocence in smile of a 3-yr old child

The beauty of a flower, even the atrocity of the wild.



Sway along the trees when they wave to welcome the wind in flight

Shine along the night when it bathes in the beautiful moon-light.



Sing along the music of river as it flows

Dance when the sound from bells of temple echoes.



Weigh the joy in little things, be it as light as snow

Produce the effect of being happy and the cause will follow.



Thoughts become things, just keep this in mind

Think you got those all, and to all those wishes, Universe will be kind.



So break the cold

Do not wait to be told

Make merry and rejoice

Pick up a color of your choice

And paint every instant of today

with brushes of dreams in your very own way.

Wait not for a festival or a party next door

Make each moment a celebration

And find celebration in each mo.

mil jaaye

sab kuchh itni aasaani se nai milta..


jo chahiye hota hai, wo toh kabhi bhi aasani se nai milta,

hum intezaar karte rehte hain..aur koshish karte rehte hain..pray karte hain ki kaise bhi wo mil jaaye,

par pata hi nai chalta ki kab kuchh aur mil jaata hai aur hum,

kuchh uski khushi, kuchh uski hairani, kuchh uska swad aur mazey mein itna gum ho jaate hain,

ki bhul hi jaate hain ki hum kis dor ko pakde the, kis patang ke saath udh jaana chahte the..

sawaal

hai mushkil zameen ke faasle mitana, kyun dil ke faasle hum banaye jaa rhe hain,

tujhse milne ke waaste zinda hain hum, har lamah hum marey jaa rhe hain,

hai kya iraada khuda ka malum nai, vishwaas tera bas hum kiye jaa rhe hain,

thi kadmon mein duniya jab tera haath thaama, ab kyun paun fisalte ja rhe hain,

kitni khaamoshi hai uski zubaan mein, aur hum bas yu hin sawaal kiye jaa rhe hain..
