Monotony Strokes...


Life seems to have taken a break, break from a lot of stuff. College is over, all friends gone (not literally but figuratively), all late night gossiping over, terrace talks gone. I’m suffering with a pause, I guess, where I’m finding it difficult to figure out, what is going to be the next move, what is going to be the next way, to go. I very often suffer from this when life just gets transitioned from, the one, where I used to be surrounded by countless number of people, some, for whom I yearn a lot, and some being the ones who made me realize their presence, by merely being there, pre-occupied in their own stuff, to the one, which looks to be a bit monotonous. I think I’m getting monotony strokes.
 I feel confused, confused about past, present and future, all jamming up together in my mind. Memories from the past rising up like the aroma rising out of a stranger’s kitchen, all you can do is to admire the smell and can just crave for the delicious food but can’t go in there and have it.  Present is getting up lost in planning out stuff, when I’m still not clear what I want. And future looks like a beautiful present for me but getting wrapped up far -far away and all I’m supposed to do is to just wait for it, for god knows how long.  And among all this, all I’m trying to do is to find out a poise, which may satisfy the infinite sparks rising up in my heart.
 I think the problem is, I have got too much of the free time to over think and it definitely does not seem to be good for a person like me. I always want to be surrounded with people and not by their telephonic or texting version, but truly it’s said, you can’t get, everything you desire. I know this is just a phase and soon it’s going to be over, but god knows why everything about this period looks creepy.
And while writing this out, rather can say, blabbering this out, I’m figuring out that all I need is just a slight change in perspective and broaden my field of view to cherish this phase as well, because once gone, it is also not going to sneak a peek back.

We say life’s not fair While complaining about the flavor less food in the mess While we are not able to get a seat to sit on a railway platform While criticizing the system for making us stand in a long queue at a movie theatre We say we are confused Confused of not knowing Which attire to purchase for a friend’s wedding Confused in choosing a restaurant to party Among all these complaints And confusions   Can we all just stop for a moment And look around…   Look around for   the construction worker who is in fact unaware if he will be able to   get two time bread and a room to sleep and relax each morning he wake up... look around for the maid who don’t even have two piece clothing to cover herself up who feels stranded of not being able to buy even a mango on her child’s demand... we say we are bewildered bewildered about which dream to chase and which direction to pursue In between this thought   juggling stop for a moment and look around   look around...

Talks are cheap but life’s not. Life is precious and worthy, it must be respected and loved as who can say that the coming moment will be the one which is going to change it all, the pain of losing a loved one is tender. When the newspaper speaks of the death tolls in a terrorist attack or a bus accident or a young boy losing it all in an accident, for a moment it seems how unpredictable this life is, how an instant changes it all and all doors to meet the person who defined your existence once are closed and you are left with a lot of talking moments and so many flash backs. How strange it appears that we plan so much about our future, how the things will be when we turn 25, when the strange truth is that we can’t even predict about tomorrow and this is the point which presents the fact that everything around is just a delusion. We lead a life where everything is ours yet we own nothing.  These lines correctly portrays it all “who can say where the road goes, where the day flows”...

गर्मियों की छुट्टियाँ

दो महीने की लम्बी छुट्टियाँ , दादी और नानी के घर पर बिताती ... रात को दादी की राजा- रानी की कहानियों में , खुद को  राजकुमारी मान कर ,  अपने ही सपनों में खो कर, सो  जाती ...    सुबह उठ कर, नानी के संग पूजा की थाली , फूलों से  सजाती और  उन के भजनों, के दो-चार शब्द  जो समझ आते, उन के साथ गुन-गुना कर बड़ी  खुश  हो जती ...  दादा के संग बजार घुमने जाती, और पड़ोस के चाचा की दुकान  पर   बैठे, लोगो को,  राम- राम साहब कह के,  उन से चार  टॉफ़ी पा कर , अपनी फ्हराक की छोटी-छोटी जेबॆए भर  लाती  ... दोपहर को नाना के संग ताश खेलती,  और कागज के गुलाम- बादशाहों  की  अनोखी दुनिया में खो कर, नाना की गोदी के तकिये पर,  सर रख कर सो जाती ... शाम को चाचा- चाची और मामा-मामी,  वाले दीदी-भईया के संग  लुक्का-छुप्पी  खेलती, और सब को भाग- भाग कर पकड़ लेती ... आज भ...
