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..
