जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है

जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है,
ना मा, बाप, बहन, ना यहा कोई भाई है.
हर लडकी का है Boy Friend, हर लडके ने Girl Friend पायी है,
चंद दिनो के है ये रिश्ते, फिर वही रुसवायी है.

घर जाना Home Sickness कहलाता है,
पर Girl Friend से मिलने को टाईम रोज मिल जाता है.
दो दिन से नही पुछा मां की तबीयत का हाल,
Girl Friend से पल-पल की खबर पायी है,
जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है…..

कभी खुळी हवा मे घुमते थे,
अब AC की आदत लगायी है.
धुप हमसे सहन नही होती,
हर कोई देता यही दुहाई है.

मेहनत के काम हम करते नही,
इसीलिये Gym जाने की नौबत आयी है.
McDonalds, PizaaHut जाने लगे,
दाल-रोटी तो मुश्कील से खायी है.
जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी है…..

Work Relation हमने बडाये,
पर दोस्तो की संख्या घटायी है.
Professional ने की है तरक्की,
Social ने मुंह की खायी है.
जिन्दगी ये किस मोड पे ले आयी..........

I got this forward today and couldn't resist posting it here. It so easily depicts the life of almost everyone i know and yes, that includes me too.

Here i am sitting in my office @ night?

Here i am sitting in my office @ night?

Thinking hard about life
How it changed from a maverick collage life to strict professional life?...

How tiny pocket money changed to huge monthly paychecks
but then why it gives less happiness?.

How a few local denim jeans changed to new branded wardrobe
but then why there are less people to use them

How a single plate of samosa changed to a full Pizza or burger
But then why there is less hunger?..

Here i am sitting in my office @ night?
Thinking hard about life
How it changed?..

How a bike always in reserve changed to bike always on
but then why there are less places to go on??

How a small coffee shop changed to cafe coffee day
but then why its feels like shop is far away?..

How a limited prepaid card changed to postpaid package
but then why there are less calls & more messages??

Here i am sitting in my office @ night?
Thinking hard about life
How it changed?....

How a general class journey changed to Flight journey
But then why there are less vacations for enjoyment?.

How a old assembled desktop changed to new branded laptop
but then why there is less time to put it on???.

How a small bunch of friends changed to office mate
But then why we always feel lonely n miss those college frnz.?.

Here i am sitting in my office @ night?
Thinking hard about life
How it changed?.. How it changed??..

I Believe

I believe
that we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.


I believe-
that no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive
them for that.


I believe-
that true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.

I believe-
that you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life.


I believe-
that it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be.


I believe-
that you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them.


I believe-
that you can keep going
long after you can't.


I believe-
that we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel.


I believe-
that either you control your attitude
or it controls you.


I believe-
that regardless of how hot and
steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take
its place.


I believe-
that heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.


I believe-
that money is a lousy way of keeping score.


I believe-
that my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time.


I believe-
that sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.


I believe-
that sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel.


I believe-
that just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have.


I believe-
that maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated.


I believe-
that it isn't always enough to be
forgiven by others. Sometimes you
have to learn to forgive yourself.


I believe-
that no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.


I believe-
that our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become.


I believe-
that just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
And just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do.


I believe-
that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever.


I believe-
that two people can look at the exact same
thing and see something totally different.


I believe-
that your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you.


I believe-
that even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you
you will find the strength to help.


I believe-
that credentials on the wall do not make
you a decent human being.


I believe-
that the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

जीवन की आपाधापी

This poem is written by famous Late Dr. Harivansh RaiBachchan.

This is a poem that truly captures each and every dimension of life and what a person goes through in the various phases of his journey. The sensitivity with which all the emotions are touched is truly amazing.I like this poem very much. Presenting it here for poetry lovers.Hope they will also love reading it.


*जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला
कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी यह सोच सकूँ
जो किया, कहा, माना उसमें क्या बुरा भला।*

*जिस दिन मेरी चेतना जगी मैंने देखा
मैं खड़ा हुआ हूँ इस दुनिया के मेले में,
हर एक यहाँ पर एक भुलाने में भूला
हर एक लगा है अपनी अपनी दे-ले में
कुछ देर रहा हक्का-बक्का, भौचक्का-सा,
आ गया कहाँ, क्या करूँ यहाँ, जाऊँ किस जा?
फिर एक तरफ से आया ही तो धक्का-सा
मैंने भी बहना शुरू किया उस रेले में,
क्या बाहर की ठेला-पेली ही कुछ कम थी,
जो भीतर भी भावों का ऊहापोह मचा,
जो किया, उसी को करने की मजबूरी थी,
जो कहा, वही मन के अंदर से उबल चला,
जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला
कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी यह सोच सकूँ
जो किया, कहा, माना उसमें क्या बुरा भला।*

*मेला जितना भड़कीला रंग-रंगीला था,
मानस के अन्दर उतनी ही कमज़ोरी थी,
जितना ज़्यादा संचित करने की ख़्वाहिश थी,
उतनी ही छोटी अपने कर की झोरी थी,
जितनी ही बिरमे रहने की थी अभिलाषा,
उतना ही रेले तेज ढकेले जाते थे,
क्रय-विक्रय तो ठण्ढे दिल से हो सकता है,
यह तो भागा-भागी की छीना-छोरी थी;
अब मुझसे पूछा जाता है क्या बतलाऊँ
क्या मान अकिंचन बिखराता पथ पर आया,
वह कौन रतन अनमोल मिला ऐसा मुझको,
जिस पर अपना मन प्राण निछावर कर आया,
यह थी तकदीरी बात मुझे गुण दोष न दो
जिसको समझा था सोना, वह मिट्टी निकली,
जिसको समझा था आँसू, वह मोती निकला।
जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला
कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी यह सोच सकूँ
जो किया, कहा, माना उसमें क्या बुरा भला।*

*मैं कितना ही भूलूँ, भटकूँ या भरमाऊँ,
है एक कहीं मंज़िल जो मुझे बुलाती है,
कितने ही मेरे पाँव पड़े ऊँचे-नीचे,
प्रतिपल वह मेरे पास चली ही आती है,
मुझ पर विधि का आभार बहुत-सी बातों का।
पर मैं कृतज्ञ उसका इस पर सबसे ज़्यादा -
नभ ओले बरसाए, धरती शोले उगले,
अनवरत समय की चक्की चलती जाती है,
मैं जहाँ खड़ा था कल उस थल पर आज नहीं,
कल इसी जगह पर पाना मुझको मुश्किल है,
ले मापदंड जिसको परिवर्तित कर देतीं
केवल छूकर ही देश-काल की सीमाएँ
जग दे मुझपर फैसला उसे जैसा भाए
लेकिन मैं तो बेरोक सफ़र में जीवन के
इस एक और पहलू से होकर निकल चला।
जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला
कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी यह सोच सकूँ
जो किया, कहा, माना उसमें क्या बुरा भला।

This is one of the most awe inspiring poems that i have read recently. I was simply put mesmerized after going through this poem. It is another poem that i feel myself relating to.
