Let her live, men!

The wet eyes are so quiet and secluded,

Can't imagine the cruelty happened till death.

I wish we could've some respect for her,

Let her live with dignity and with no fear.

What’s so good that we are mere men?

If we can't love our own respectful women.

Life will not only end but will curse too,

Don't forget what she is and her true value.

A thought never dies...

A thought never dies where world has no hatred,

A happiness to spread love the emotion at its best.

To believe in oneself to alter all the lies,

To trust the goodness to wipe all the cries.

When life reaches its destiny at the very end,

Then why are we fighting as there is no end.

To forgive the bad is to love the world,

Warmth is love, rest is truth untold.

बिखरी कुछ बातें

बिखरे रिश्तों की बातें कुछ ऐसी

जैसे नदिया में खोये मोती

दिन रात गुज़र जाने पर भी

आँखें इनको हैं तकती रहती

कोमल हाथों की सारी नरमी

गर छूकर इनको कुम्हला सा देती

पास तुम्हारे हाथों में आकर

ये सारा जीवन महका सा देतीं

रात दिन एक दूजे के साथी

होकर भी, एक ना हो पाते

सारा जीवन साथ ही चलते

सब कुछ खोकर ही, कुछ पाते

खोना पाना ही तो जीवन है

जिसने समझा सारा जग पाया

इन रिश्तों से सीखा है जिसने

वही सच्चा मानुष कहलाया

Imperfection

Imperfection is far better than so called 'perfection'

You are perfectly imperfect and blissful being so.

The world will never adjust itself, don't ever mention,

Life will go on, its better, the sooner you know.

It’s a long chain; one has to break it once,

It doesn't matter if imperfection reasons life bit slow.

You have to burn yourself now and then,

The sunlight is never so harsh, it’s warm though.

The birthday night

It is the birthday night, 12:00 am. I am half asleep wishing myself in my broken dream. Suddenly, don't know why but I could feel wetness in my eyes.

I prefer to be alone on my birthdays, like I am the only one in my life. It is just a wish, not possible I know. What if all the wishes become true, possible-impossible whatsoever? What if He gives your childhood back as a birthday gift?

But there are few things which are just not possible. You cannot change your past; you cannot even go into your future- you can only live in your present with full determination to overcome with your past and to shape your future.

Have I gone mad or what, what am I thinking in this dark hour. The silliest thoughts are lingering here and there in my dreams causing my eyes so teary.

And then a slight curve on my lips shows the happiness deep in me. It may sound weird that eyes are wet and at the same time smile is there on my face but let me tell you one thing- life is all about mixed emotions all together. If you are sad today it may fade away the other day.

I wiped away my tears. Someone has truly said, “The best pair in the world is Smile and Cry, They won't meet each other at a time; If they meet it's the best moment in your life ...”

I am happy now.

Don't give up on your dreams

Don't give up on your dreams.
You will fail for sure today or another day.
You will have to hear a lot from the world, they usually say
but, don't give up on your dreams.

Don't give up on your whims
One day you will rise up above the sky
proving everyone wrong that you cannot fly
so, don't give up on your dreams.

The purpose

Day, every day the purpose of life changes to attain the last breath. This earning, this sole earning is something more than all the wealth one can achieve in his life. A satisfaction to spread happiness all over the world, to love the humanity, to beautify the nature and to enlighten the inner self, to smile with nothing in hand and to fight for the truth. Once you are satisfied, you start earning it again, the divinity.

Whence you meet Him, you know nothing but all.

Life is not about doing it right or wrong. It is to seeking goodness everywhere. The two distinct poles of life, one when we are destined to start breathing and the other when we stop, are joined together to form a journey. Beyond life everything exists but to reach there one has to overcome this journey with utmost faith in oneself.

The realization of life is imperative which entitles you to be worthy of this beautiful aspect of mankind. The answers of your existence are questioned with every single deed you commit.

The purpose, the life are no poles apart. They are the same. This is not even question of life and death or beyond, it is to coruscate the lightning within us. Lights of no thoughts but blank.

चुप्पियों की आवाज़ें

उन चुप्पियों की आवाज़ें अब मुखर हो चली हैं

लगता है ज़माना अब सांस ले रहा है

जिन्हें तवज्जो ही ना दी थी फिरकापरस्तों ने

आम आदमी की ताकत से वो डरने सा लगा है

चहरे पर आंसू सूखकर नमक हो चुके हैं

उन्हें जख्मों पर छिड़कने का वक़्त हो चला है

जो भी हैं, हम ही हैं ए हिन्दोस्तान

जब भी हुआ है वो हमीं से पूरा हुआ है

For a new beginning: Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, 'Bharat Ratna'

The law of nature says, ‘Everything has to reach an end for a new beginning’.

For us when we were kids, cricket was always- ‘chalo bat ball khelte hain’ and we played, enjoyed the Game. Then if a question comes to a kid’s mind, ‘Whom you admire most'- it is always Sachin. People usually watch a cricket match if Sachin is batting. And if he is out, TV’s - radios are turned off. And then a long debate is started about His game at chaiwalas, panwalas shops with no ends. From a kid to an old man, on roads, in houses everywhere is only Sachin.

This dedication, love and passion for cricket are unique. It is about giving a 100%, with no shortcuts and following the difficult path without giving up in any circumstance. If you want to learn life, you must see His attitude towards life; being positive and being humble to everyone you meet, to respect your parents from the core of your heart which you can see in His wet eyes.

We have had parties on a hundred; Sachin has gifted us every time. I have seen people crying if Sachin is out or not performed well. I have seen people dying to get His glimpse. Those crackers, those smiles and happiness are in the world whenever Sachin hits a boundary.

A thank you is just not enough for what you have done for the nation and for us.

We love you. We will miss your cricket and you will be in our hearts till the world exists and beyond.

Sachin, thank you so much for all the happiness that is in our life because of you. God bless you.

उड़ चल ऐसे जहां में- Last wish

उड़ चल ऐसे जहां में, जहाँ कोई गम ना हों,
सो जाएं हम वहाँ, जहाँ आँखें किसी की नम ना हों,
अरमानों के आसमां में, सिन्दूर की घटाएं छाई रहें,
दुआओं की रात में चांदनी हमेशा बरसती रहे

सपनो के खिलौने बनाने वाले उस खुदा से मिलें

खिलोना दे कर मुकद्दर बनाने वालें से मिलें

ना पूछे, ना बताएं कोई भूल ना कमज़ोरियाँ

दामन पकड़ कर बस चलते रहें

खेल जो बाबस्ता खेलते रहे हम, तुझ संग चुपके से देखा करें

मिल जाएं इस तरह उस खुदा में, कि फिर कभी जुदा ना हों,

उड़ चल ऐसे जहां में, जहाँ कोई गम ना हों

                                                             - Ashish Segan
