Jugni Ji...

दिन ढल जाए...

दिन ढल जाए हाय, रात ना जाए..

तू तो ना आये तेरी याद सताए..

दिन ढल जाए हाय, रात ना जाए..

तू तो ना आये तेरी याद सताए..

प्यार में जिनके सब जग छोड़ा और हुए बदनाम..

उनके ही हाथों हाल हुआ ये बैठे हैं दिल को थाम..

अपने कभी थे अब हैं पराये..

दिन ढल जाए हाय, रात ना जाए..

तू तो ना आये तेरी याद सताए..

दिन ढल जाए...

ऐसी ही रिमझिम, ऐसी फुहारें, ऐसी ही थी बरसात..

खुद से जुदा और जग से पराये हम दोनों थे साथ..

फिर से वो सावन अब क्यूँ न आये..

दिन ढल जाए हाय, रात ना जाए..

तू तो ना आये तेरी याद सताए..

दिन ढल जाए...

दिल के मेरे पास हो इतने फिर भी हो कितनी दूर..

तुम मुझसे मैं दिल से परेशान, दोनों हैं मजबूर..

ऐसे में किसको कौन मनाये..

दिन ढल जाए हाय, रात ना जाए..

तू तो ना आये तेरी याद सताए..

दिन ढल जाए...!!!

The Moon!!!

ये रातें, ये मौसम, नदी का किनारा, ये चँचल हवा,

कहा दो दिलों ने, के मिलकर कभी हम न होंगे जुदा..


ये क्या बात है, आज की चाँदनी में,
के हम खो गए, प्यार की रागनी में,
ये बाहों में बाहों, ये बहकी निगाहें,
लो आने लगा ज़िन्दगी का मज़ा..
ये रातें, ये मौसम, नदी का किनारा, ये चँचल हवा...


सितारों की महफ़िल में करके इशारा,
कहा अब तो सारा जहाँ है तुम्हारा,
मोहब्बत जवां हो, खुला आसमान हो,
करे कोई दिल आरज़ू और क्या...
ये रातें, ये मौसम, नदी का किनारा, ये चँचल हवा..


कसम है तुमहे तुम अगर मुझसे रूठे,
रहे सांस जब तक ये बंधन न टूटे,
तुमहे दिल दिया है, ये वादा किया है,
सनम मैं तुम्हारी रहूंगी सदा..
ये रातें, ये मौसम, नदी का किनारा, ये चँचल हवा..
कहा दो दिलो ने, के मिलकर कभी हम ना होंगे जुदा..
ये रातें, ये मौसम, नदी का किनारा, ये चँचल हवा..
 
I so so love this song.. this picture reminds of this song.. :)

Dream More !!!

Dreams are dreams!!

These are some of your thoughts, some images, sounds, your emotions, your memories which your mind experience during your sleep.

Sometimes you do remember them and other times you do not.

It’s a magical world. You enter in this world during your sleep. You go there, sometimes it is just fun, sometimes you see something real – related to your past, sometimes you see something which you think – it will going to be happen in future, sometimes you learn some lessons and so on.

I have heard that dream is just an imagination. But is it really just an imagination or more than that?

Every dream cannot be unreal. There could be some dreams which lead us to the reality.

A dream sometimes helps us motivating; help us to achieve our goals in real. They inspire us to do something different.

Your dream – directly or indirectly – represents who you are, the way you think, the way you react, the way you take, the way you are.

There are people who live in a dream world, other who face reality. But be the one who TURN one into other.

Dreams are free!! Everyone has their own dream world!! No reason is necessary to dream!! So dream more and more and more!!

Kodaikanal Trip!!!

Recently, I visited this place called Kodaikanal with friends. It is always fun to travel…and traveling with friends doubles it. I am very lucky to have a friend list that also has interest to travel and feel adventure.

It was a journey of 8 friends (neha, nishi, ruchika, rohit, rahul, abhishek, santosh and me..)

Kodaikanal has a name Prince of Hills and its nature reflects the same…trust me!!!

We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights… and overall we had a very pleasant and beautiful trip. It was one of the memorable trips I have ever had. The ethereal beauty of the place provides such a serene environment that one just feels to return to this place once more.

So I felt that I should share some of my experience with you all to make your trip a pleasant one.

The trip was planned. All friends decided to take a nice break from the hectic office life and visit this place.

DAY1 – September 25th, 2009

The 1st day, we arrived at Kodaikanal in the morning and adjusted ourselves into a beautiful cottage called Lilly’s Valley.

We left the cottage in afternoon and went to one Punjabi Joint to have lunch…and then suddenly it started raining. We all enjoyed this afternoon with the drops of water.

After lunch, we went to Coaker’s Walk. If you are interested in morning walk, you should definitely visit this place. It is a wonderful place. A Telescope house is there at Coaker’s walk and some of the best views can be seen from here.

After this wonderful experience, we went to the Kodai Pine Forest. After spending some time there we went to the Pillar Rock. The Pillar rocks are three granite boulders which are seen standing vertically shoulder to shoulder. The view of valley was awesome.

There is a market near this place…from there we had chilli pakoras and tea and did some shopping.

We left the place and went to the most adventurous place called Gunaah Caves. This place was quite dangerous as around 13 people had lost there lives in the caverns and the body of only one of them was recovered. This was the shooting point for many movies including Gunaah. We had a wonderful time trekking to the top.

From there few of us went for horse riding…the horse attendant was running along with us…we really had a very good time there.

                                  

                                  

After the experience of horse riding we returned to the cottage (Lilly’s Valley). It was very cold at that night. We went for dinner and then shopping for delicious home made chocolate after which we returned to the cottage and fell asleep.

DAY2 – September 26th, 2009

It was time to say bye to Lilly’s Valley. It was really a very good time over there. When we reached this cottage, we simply fell in love with the place as it was a cluster of cottages located away from the town, yet near enough to walk to the town. People were good at service.

                                     

                                     

 From this cottage we went to other cottage…

After having breakfast, we decided to go to Berijam Lake.

You need official permission to enter the forest area, which your local travel agent should be able to arrange for you easily if you tell him before 2 PM the day before.

There is a small roadside attachment on the way called the Berijam Lake View further up where you can stop and take a look at the lake from the above mountains.

The lake is a source of pure natural mountain water.

The road is narrow and tough mountain terrain within a dense forest area, but the view is worth it.

Wear good shoes in this trip. It’s very wet around kodai and these are slippery mountain trails.


(It started raining in between… that was an awesome experience.)

After experiencing the trekking there, we went for lunch and then we rented a cycle for each of us.

                                     

Everyone had a lot of fun cycling around the lake. We took two rounds and none of us was feeling tired. It was so much fun cycling after a long time.

After this we returned to the cottage, had pizza and then we spent some time with other sharing our experience, played some games…dance…bonfire…antakshari…damshraj etc etc.. and then we went and fell asleep.

                                        

DAY3 – September 27th, 2009


After an early breakfast the next morning, it was time to say tata to this place...

We went to Kodai Lake, this is an artificial lake that takes the shape of a star. The lake is quite big and there is a boat club which offers pedaling and rowing boats with different seating capacities. You can hire boats on hourly basis. It was a real fun. We enjoyed it to the fullest.

After this amazing experience of boating we did some shopping and had lunch in Sripriya hotel. The lunch was good.


And the visit to the kodai lake was the perfect end to a wonderful time we had in Kodai.

From there we all returned to Bangalore on September 28th, 2009.

We meet to set memories and depart to remember them..!!!

We all have some friends in our life who are so closed to us and know most secrets of our life but then it is very strange thing that those close friends are nothing now.

Sometimes people enter in our life, stay for a little while and then go away. But the best part is: in this little time they leave life-long impact on our lives...!!! :) We learned a lot from them in this little time.


We may not remember all of them everyday but the question is: “is it really possible to forget them completely...?”


No matter how much we try to forget them, how much we try to distance ourselves from their memories (…good or bad), they always keep coming back to us in form of our thoughts, in form of our memories.


We let them go because we think that is the best thing to do at that point of time because we do not want the control of our life in their hands and then we wonder if the decision we took to let them go away from our lives was really a good decision…?


I think nobody thinks that it is a good decision to let our friends go away from our lives. We do not let them go. It just happens because may be it is just not meant to be for longer than it was supposed to be.


But I do regret when I look back sometimes. I do not know if it is my mind or my heart who sometimes keeps on telling me to speak to those friends, to make a contact again, to message them now before it becomes too late because they were the ones who actually listened to me, who accepted me as I am, who understood me.


Here I have a question: why did god get those friends in our life if they had to go away, what purpose did it serve? May be I know the reason, the purpose behind it or may be I do not.


I still think of my lost friends, some of them are a big part of my diary life which I will not be able to complete without them. On one hand I am very happy and I admire what they brought into my life (I miss them all :( :)); on the other hand it is really very sad when I do not receive a simple “Hi” from them.


It is really strange how our friends can be so close and then nothing..!!! :(


Ending with a positive line:
"We meet to set memories and depart to remember them" :)

Accept Life as it is & Not as it should be...!!!

Over the last several years of my life, I have learned that it is best for me to accept life as it is and not as it should be. There are countless things in this world that no matter how hard I have tried to understand but it was a pointless effort. I find joy in accepting my everyday choices and challenges without condition.

I find peace in my truth as well as in the truths of people who occupy a space in my life.

In life we are bound to be in situations where we have to make difficult choices. We are bound to face number of challenges from day to day, but then in the end we find that we have made our best decisions, there are no mistake and everything in life happens just as it should.

Sometimes, we beat up ourselves for making decisions, for taking risks that might have put our dreams, friendships or family ties on the line, but then this is what life is all about. It is about choices and with all our choices there are circumstances.

I am thankful for this amazing gift called life and I refuse to focus on decisions made in the past. There are no mistakes. The present is what I have and the choices that I make today will surely make an impact. I will enjoy each and every moment, second, minute and hour of my day. I will continue to appreciate all the colors and flowers in my life.

I can't worry about the future because tomorrow is never guaraneed. I can't worry about life as it should be. I can only hope to be able to continually grow from experiencing and accepting life as it is. I choose to be happy. I choose to live my life with purpose. I choose to take steps to get me closer to my dreams. And these choices make me feel like I am flying every single day.

बचपन की यादें ...!!!

ऐ खुदा ! बख्श दे फिर से वही पल,
जहाँ मिलने के लिए देखते ना थे हम आज और कल,


पहले कहते थे की चलो मिलकर करते हैं plan कुछ,
आज कहते हैं की चलो plan करें और फिर मिलें !!


बार बार आती हैं यादें बचपन की,
खो गई जैसे वो ख़ुशी मेरे हिस्से की !!


याद आते हैं वो मस्ती भरे दिन, वो बेख़ौफ़ रातें,
वो आसमान छूने की तमन्ना और बे-तकल्लुफी भरी बातें !!


बिना बात के रूठ जाना, बिना मनाये ही मान जाना,
फिर मासूम सा चेहरा बनाकर अपनी हर ज़िद मनवाना !!


यूँ तो बचपन में लौटने को हमेशा जी चाहता है,
पर आज अपना बचपन कुछ ज्यादा ही याद आता है !!


चलो समय के पहिये को उल्टा घुमाएं,
चलो फिर से वो रेत के घर बनायें,
चलो एक बार फिर से बचपन में वापस लौट जाए...

वो देखो!

वो देखो! सबकी नज़रें रुक सी गई हैं,
सबके दिलों की धड़कन थम सी गई है,
उसकी एक झलक के लिए दुनिया जैसे ठहर सी गई है,
उसकी नज़रों में आने के लिए बादल जैसे झुक से गए हैं,
उसकी पायलों की आवाज़ सुनने के लिए हवा ने भी लहराना छोड़ दिया,
उसके साथ ताल मिलाने के लिए पंछी भी जैसे चह-चाह रहे हैं..

आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...

आज मैंने एक हिमाकत की है,
हाँ! मैंने कुछ ज़ुर्रत की है,
लिए हज़ार सपने निगाहों में,
आज एक गुस्ताखी की है...


ज़मीन आसमान को मिलते देखा है,
गम और ख़ुशी का हसीन मिलन देखा है,
आज फिर दिल ने एक तमन्ना की है,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


रूठे दोस्तों को मनाया है,
उदास चेहरों को हसाया है,
मैंने अपने गमों को भुलाकर,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


हर गीत को साज़ बनाया है,
हर वादे को निभाया है,
धडकनों में किसी को बसाकर,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


पुरानी यादों के धुंधले झरोखे से,
एक तस्वीर बनाने की कोशिश की है,
हर बात को याद करके,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


रात को उजाला बनाया है,
सहर को अँधेरा बनाया है,
प्रकृति के कुछ नियम तोड़कर,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


पानी से आग लगाई है,
आग से प्यास बुझाई है,
पानी और आग की इस कश्मकश में,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...


पत्तियों की सरसराहट,
झरनों से बहते पानी की आहट,
इस सरसराहट से आहट तक जाकर,
आज फिर एक गुस्ताखी की है...

सूरज की किरण

पंख पसार चुकी है सूरज की किरण,
रोशनी का एक टुकड़ा पहुंचा मेरे कमरे की तरफ,
और सामने की दीवार चमकने लगी छोटे से सूरज की तरह,
मानो स्वागत कर रही सूरज की पहली किरण का . . . 


इतने में ही मेरी आँखें खुली . . 
मैंने देखा उस किरण की तरफ . .
पर फिर आँखें बंद की . .
और चली गई सपनो की तरफ . . 
जिनकी कड़ियाँ थी अभी तक अधूरी . .
ऐसा एक सपना जिसकी कड़ियाँ . .
कबसे नहीं जुड़ पा रही थी . . 


कुछ ही देर बाद,
एक बार फिर से आँख खुली,
वो सूरज की रौशनी . .
मानो . .
कुछ हलचल कर रही थी,
उस शांत से कमरे में,
कुछ गति कुछ जान सी डाल रही थी . .


पर फिर भी दिल बार बार सूरज से यही इल्तेजा कर रहा था . .
कि वो अपनी  किरणो का दामन जल्दी से समेट ले,
और शाम कि चादर से उस रौशनी को ढक दे . . 


शायद मेरा वो सपना मुझे एक बार फिर से दिखे,
और जो कड़ियाँ अभी तक नहीं जुडी हैं,
शायद वो कड़ियाँ इस बार जुड़ जाएँ . .


दिल बार बार सूरज कि किरणों से बोल रहा था
कि वो अभी जाकर सो जाए
और शाम कि धुंध को आने दे . . 


और चाँद से ये गुज़ारिश कि
कि वो अपनी चांदनी भेजे 
कहीं ये कड़ियाँ जुड़ने से पहले टूट न जाएँ. .

How to Find the Power of a Positive Attitude?

Here are some tips that may bring you up, if you're feeling down, angry, depressed, miserable, or just plain sad. Positive thinking, positive affirmations, and self improvement are all ways to maintain a positive attitude.

1. 
   
   Step1
   Practice getting into the present moment and staying there. Whatever task you're currently working on, be with that task. You do yourself no favors by thinking about what's not been done yet, as it won't get done until you get it done. Things that have gone wrong in the past can't be changed until you change them. All you've got is right this very minute, and nothing more. Don't dwell on anything but what's right in front of you. Sure, learn from your mistakes, and look forward to a future, but don't live in either place. Live fully in the right now and you'll find your attitude becoming more positive.
2. 
   
   Step2
   Get organized. We hear this all the time, but it's really true. Having a clean house, free of clutter, really opens up pathways, both literally AND figuratively. If you don't believe me, just try it. Take a section of your house and put everything in it's place, straighten, reorganize, dust and vacuum. Then stand back and gaze upon the beauty of organization. If you can, connect to the feeling that it gives you. I guarantee you'll feel lighter and more positive. If cleaning isn't your thing, don't overdo it. Take 10 minutes at a time to straighten or clean. Soon you'll start to notice a big difference in how you feel.
3. 
   
   Step3
   Keep trinkets and things around you that lift you up. Whether it's a favorite photo, painting, knick-knack, or even nice-smelling candles or incense, make your house a home. Make your space comfortable. Spruce it up with sayings of positive affirmation, even if you have to write them yourself. Consult a Feng Shui website and choose colors that uplift you. You could even create a vision board to spark opportunities to fulfill your wildest dreams. The power of positive thinking really works wonders, once you get there.
4. 
   
   Step4
   Take a few minutes out of every day to get to know yourself. Stop what you're doing and be alone with your thoughts. Get to the root of any issues your having by simply being honest with yourself. It's the resistance to emotion that keeps it stirred up. Once you face it, it tends to disappear rapidly and bother less. Ask yourself tough questions, or simply just think positive thoughts. Either exercise is effective at lightening your load. You may also choose to meditate.
5. 
   
   Step5
   Inform those around you, including your children, that you will be starting a regimen of 'me' time. Once everyone gets over the initial shock, if this is new for you, they'll likely begin to have more respect for you. Take a few minutes every day to do something you love, or something that makes you feel good. If you hate exercise, but feel you should be doing it, go for a walk or a swim. Find things that you love to do and enjoy your moments of independence.
6. 
   
   Step6
   Try not to surround yourself with negative energy. Turn off the news. Put down the newspaper. Important news will find it's way to you. Hearing about tragic events in the next town, or the next country, doesn't do anything positive for your psyche. It's also very beneficial to discard negative friends or family members. You could continue to love them, but keep your distance. It's your choice what you allow into your personal space. Complaints don't solve a thing. Try to avoid complaining yourself, and try to keep distance from others who engage in this behavior. If you must remain near negative people, try silently allowing your positive thinking to seep into their world. This could create lots of great changes.
7. 
   
   Step7
   Whenever you have the opportunity, do nice things for people. The best way to accomplish this without inadvertently expecting something in return, is to make small offers to strangers. Smile at people, ask a teenager how his day is going, hold the door for a middle aged man, and let someone cut in front of you in line at the grocery store. If you're not accustomed to doing things like this, you will notice just how good small deeds can make you feel. Try to smile alot; it's contagious.
