जिंदगी आजकल...

Had written this poem long back, posting it here today ...

लेकर चले थे जो एक छोटी सी ख्वाइश घर से
ना जाने कितनी दूर आ गए हैं
हो चुकी ना जाने कितनी ख्वाइशे पूरी
फिर भी ना जाने क्यों है जिंदगी अधूरी

अनजानों के साथ अनजानी राह पर चलते
ना जाने अपने कब अनजान हो गए
भागते रहे हम दूर इतना कि
अपने ही घर में मेहमान हो गए

हँसते हैं मुस्कुराते हैं और इश्क भी जताते हैं
फिर भी न जाने क्यों अपने को तनहा ही पाते हैं
कोई सुन न ले रात में ये सिसकिया हमारी
कुछ इसलिए भी हम रात जाग कर बिताते हैं

चलते जा रहे हैं हम दूर पर मंजिल नजर आती नहीं
खरीदे हुए सामानों से मन तो बहलता है पर ख़ुशी नजर आती नहीं
देखते हैं पुरानी यादो को अक्सर
पर याद क्यों अब रुलाती नहीं

मन करता है की जा सकू फिर से वापस
ले सकू सुकून  की एक नींद यू दादी की गोद में
रो सकू जी भर के जहाँ
और बता सकू की क्यों रोया हूँ मैं

पर फंस गया हूँ जिंदगी में इस खातिर
की बस अब यही सब सोचता हूँ मैं
रोज सोते वक़्त आँखों से आते पानी को
ना टूट जाने के डर से पोंछता हु मैं

ना जाने हर रात को बैचैन सा
यही सब सोचता हु मैं ॥

अच्छे थे वो पल...

आज पुरानी अलमारी में वो किताब नज़र आ गई

बचपन की तस्वीरो से कुछ याद मुझे दिला गई

अच्छे थे वो पल की जब चाहो तब रो लेते थे
और खिलौने ही दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी ख़ुशी दे देते थे

रातों को जब हम यूँ चैन की नींद सो जाते थे
जब पापा आकर रात को चादर हमें उड़ाते थे

अच्छे थे वो पल जब सब साथ घूमने जाते थे
सी-सी करते हुए भी हम खूब पानीपूरी खाते थे

त्योहारों पर जब हम खूब उछलते गाते थे
जब मौसी मौसा आकर गोदी में हमे उठाते थे

अच्छे थे वो पल जब डर ना किसी बात का था
जब प्यार का मतलब सिर्फ सर पर दादी का हाथ था

याद करके ये सब कुछ आँखे मेरी भीगा गई
बचपन की तस्वीरे फिर याद सब दिला गई ||

Birthday Blast :)

Just few seconds back the clock’s needle touched 12 and made me realised another year is added to my existence.

Speaking to my friend over phone & receiving birthday wishes. No expectations for any bolt from the blue and not even equipped. A sudden flash and 2 familiar faces entered in my room and that’s Dheeraj and his wife Iti with my roommate Aashish, Who brought all of the bliss for me to my birthday this year. Unexpected fortunes gives you most pleasure when you are not even ready for them. Gigantic Thanks to all these friends and you guys please don’t say NO.

They came up, shouted birthday wishes loudly and started giving me birthday bombs. And I bet they were real BOMBS, I still feel the explosionJ. Time to do little dance and cut cake. The dance was really amazing just prepared and executed in a well way. Director was DheerajJ. I cut the cake and they just polished my face with it. I can’t even make it up to open my eyes. Went and washed my face, second session started and that polish came again to meL. Captured so many pictures and videos. In between phone calls keep coming, and I was really having hard time to bring them reply.

Each time I thought it’s an end, it was just a pause. They polished my face 4 times with cake which entered in almost each of the hole available in my face. It’s my duty to share all my happiness with my friends and so I polished their faces too with that cakeJ. Iti acted very idly and concentrated her fingers on the camera. We sang the birthday song and finally ate one piece of cake. Time to open the gift and it was a Magnet Dart BoardJ. I wished they could have pasted someone’s picture on both sides of itJ which definitely would have brought the real contentment in targeting that boardJ. They asked me to have that board hanging at my chest to try some shotsL. With these all things finally the night surprise ended hereJ

At birthday being in office sucks but can’t help. Enjoyed day with real friends in office too. One of my close friends has provided me whole day Birthday support by keep communicating on E-Mail. That was the cutest thing I didn’t thought about. After completing the office shift the OnCall Birthday support was being provided by the same friend. That’s so sweet of you and that really makes my day. Special Thanks to YOUJ .

All is well that ends well. Phone calls are still coming. Ending the day and quoting the memories.

Once again thanks to all you for making this day unforgettable. 

Oh...My sweet Home..!!

Oh my sweet home I am missing you too much, I see people going home and my heart goes down

I remember all those sweet and precious moments I had there, I never thought while leaving i will miss you this much here

You have nothing special to be admired...Just a place to stay with family

But it is the place where I spent my whole life, shared all the bad and good time with you

I remember the fights I had with my siblings...and you were the best one among all buildings

Though roofs were leaking under heavy rain...But you never brought me loneliness and pain

I think of you and my grand-mom comes in my mind....and I remember no one will be anywhere so kind

The place where someone was giving me bed tea's ...and each of my silly demand was making them tease

We played almost all the games... I remember our funny activities and silly aims

Feeling there the fresh air there in my vain...I don’t know when I will come there to feel it again

It was very good to run for catching a kite...and roaming here and there in dark when there was no light

I admit I participated in all games of dolls...and we jumped high walls to find our lost balls

I still have the taste of grandma's cooking... All things were so tasty and we were never boozing

I loved you so much that I never wanted to leave you even for going school...because home was the only place where I can rule

There is no place like you...where some one feels like so true...

Where someone can have the real rest....among all the places I visited you are the best

Now to reach to my home is not so ease...but that place really brings me the real peace

oh my sweet home there is no place like you....Oh my sweet home there is no place like you

I wanna come back so soon....I wanna come back so soon!!

Oh my sweet home I am missing you too much, I see people going home and my heart goes down

I remember all those sweet and precious moments I had there, I never thought while leaving i will miss you this much here
