Bidai...

 Ek pal ki hai yeh tanhayi;

Ek pal phir pareshaani hai...

 

Aaj pehna hai lal joda;

Kal chadar main teri bidayi hai...

 

Do pal beet gaye jeewan ke;

Do pal main teri bidayi hai....

 

Aaj sara kutumb hai darwaaze pe;

Kal bus tu aur teri Khudai hai...

A journey travelled...

3000 days ago
I started to argue
That love is not true

3000 days later
The argument was over
And still I didn't care

All those years
I had hidden my fears
Along with my tears

I said try to wear my shoe
Then you'll know
Why love is my foe

But something made me see
What's my real enemy
Not love, not me

Now that the ocean's calm
The epiphany has come
My heart's not for no one but me

Slumber of Man

There is a poem inside of me,
One that no one can see

Paper is but a polished piece of wood,
My words are not so easily understood

The long slumber of man and his kind,
Never will he find what he most desires; Peace of Mind...

2015, And there is no New Year's Resolution!

Two Thousand and Fifteen has come and this post is now long overdue!

I have always maintained this practice of writing in on New Year's Eve, updating my year gone by!

However, this year I have realized the most important rule of Life....  That there are no rules to living!

2014 has been interesting; and challenging in its own ways.

Taking up a shore job, working and travelling in Africa, they have all had a great impact!

If anything; I would dedicate this year to Africa! And to the testing desk job.

Nothing compares with the luxury of travel. The experience and the freedom, the wisdom and the friendships!

The journey of this Intellectual Traveler will go on for ever...

And so will this blog.

Sometimes short, Sometimes long, sometimes far in between and sometimes back to back. Sometimes full of details and sometimes a broad overview.

This perhaps is my resolve.

Keep Living Folks!

Aree Dost Tu Kyaa jaaye chee...!!!

Na vyavhaar sachwaye chee, Na tyevhaar sachwaye chee,
Diwali hoi ke Holi, Badhu office maaj ujwaye chee.

Aa badhu toh theek hathu, Pan hadd to tya thaye chee;
Lagna ni maate kankotri, Tya samoorta ma maan jawaye chee.

Dil pooche chee maaru, Aye dost, Tu kya jaye chee???

Paanch aankda na pagaar chee,
Pan pota na maate paanch minuite pan kya wapraye chee;
Patni no phone be minuite ma kaapi
Pan Client no phone kya kapai chee???

Phone book bhare chee dosto thi, Pan koi ne ghare kya jawai chee??
Have toh ghar na prasango pan half day ma ujwaye chee...

Dil pooche chee maru, Aree dost, tu kya jaye chee???

Koi ne khabar nathi aa rasto kya jaye chee,
Thakela chee badha, chataye badha chaaltaj jaye chee

Koik na samne rupiya to koik ne dollar dekhaye chee,
Tamej kaho dosto, su aanej jindagi kehwaye chee..???

Dil pooche chee maru are dost tu kya jaye chee

Badalta aa prawah ma apna sanskaar dhowaye chee
Aavnaar peedi poochse, sanskaar kone kehwaye chee??

Dil pooche chee maaru are dost tu kya jaye chee!

Making rhymes out of thin air...!

Uff, woh kaisi mohabbat thi,
Haye, zamaana bhi kaisa thaa...
Ulfat ki do ghadi main,
Jaane woh kaisa imtehaan thaa...
Tere saamne mohabbat thi,
Mere aage zamana thaa...

Mubarak ho tumhe,
Yeh majbooriya meri,
Dil hi kambakht kamzor niklaa...
Zamaane ka toh sirf ek bahanaa thaa....
