Parkme ekroz...

Main tumhe chahti hun, agar tum samajh sako - agar tum mujhe apna samajh sako.

main bhi tumhe pyar karta hun, tum janti ho.

hyan, main janti hun. to phir kya tum mujhe kabhi nahi kahoge? kabhi bhi apne muh se nahi bologe?

kyon? muh se bolna itna zaroori hai? itne saalon ki itni intezaar ke baad tum aye ho. itni raatein akele guzarne ke baad mujhe tum mili ho aaj. itna kuch karne ke baad tumhare saath rehna ka soubhagya prapt hua hai. tum dekh nahi sakti ho? tum samajh nahi sakti ho?

nahi, main nahi dekh sakti. main dekhna hi nahi chahti. main tumhe dekhna chahti hun, aur tumhari muh se sunna chahti hun. mujhe tum itne saal nahi mile. jo sochna tha, jo bolna tha sab sirf main hi samjhi. tumko bolna nahi pada. tum nahi bole. harwaqt sirf maine samajh liya. abhi to tum mere paas ho - pratyaks ho. tum ho, main hun. to phir kyon nahi bologe?

hyan, kahunga.

to phir bolo. kitna kuch tha tumhare paas bolne ke liye. jab main phone karti thi tum bolte the kitna kuch hai bolne ke liye. phone chhodna nahi chahte the. ab kya hua? abhi bolo. bolo na, ji.

main tumse pyar karta hun.

main bhi. main bhi tumse pyar karti hun.

main bhi sunna chahti hun tumhari saari baatein. jo tum bolti thi ke phone me nahi kaha ja sakta hai. tum boli thi ke kahoge. ab kaho. main kab se baytha hun tumhari sab baatein sunne ke liye. kaho na shona, main sunu.

tum kyon aise ho? tum kya kabhi bhi mujhe nahi samjhoge?

matlab? yahan pe samajhne ya na samajhne ki kya baat hui? main to...

rehne do, aur kuch kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai. shayed main humesha hi kuch jyada mang leti hun. harbar bas wohi ek galati kar leti hun main.

nahi. suno. main keh raha tha ki...

kya keh rahe the? bolo.

matlab, ab to shaam hone wala hai. yahan aur zyada der taq nahi bayth sakte.

byath nahi sakte? kyon bayth nahi sakte?

nahi, matlab yahan pe to...

tum yahan bhi ghabra rahe ho? abhi bhi ghabra rahe ho? kyon? abhi to humari shaadi ho chuki hai. to phir shaam ke baad park me baythne se kya hoga?

log kya kahenge?

kehne do. hum kyon sunenge dusro ki baatein? itne din to bas auro ki bare me soch soch ke kuch bhi nahi kar paye hum. abhi bhi karne nahi doge?

hyan? kya karna chahti ho kaho. sab kar sakte hain. bolo na...

nahi, rehne do. tum thik keh rahe ho. Lets go!

nahi. baytho na. abhi to shaam...

dhal chuki hai. shaam ho chuki hai. ab aur roushni nahi hai, dekho. kuch der me hi raat hone wali hai. kaali raat. andheri raat. kabhi na khatm hone wali raat. is raat ki koi subha bhi nahi hai, shayed. chalo chalte hain ab.

lekin shona...

chalo.

Did not use the Hindi Script for my mates in the Lounge who can’t read Hindi. Hope rest of you would not mind reading this as it is. This is not exactly a true happening but it is truly inspired from one of the many things that happened with me. There are lot of things that come into the picture when two people start living together. I wish I could share whatever I go through, but I’m afraid, most of the experience, august though, will not be welcomed! Hope you like this trial…

escapism

There is this feeling

for a really long time

can't shake it off

or stop thinking about.

Wondering what is happening

why is Life so demanding

or do we make it so

Shuddering at the very thought

facing the dilemma of what is ought.

Like a mad man down the road

running helter skelter

are our wrecked thoughts

good or bad, laziness creeps.

Inept are we

in our action and words,

always on the verge of lies

shillyshallying obligations

unto us and others

making mockery of all

the inclination to escape

present realities

into our own world 

of imaginations and fantasies

to assuage our thoughts

is everpresent as ever

Is the notion due

to pure haziness

on our part.

Is shying away

from responsibilities 

show the right

sensibilities

es·cap·ism 

n.

The tendency to escape from daily reality or routine by indulging in daydreaming, fantasy, or entertainment.

Witness History in the Making...

Barack Hussein Obama II is the first African American to be elected President of the United States. It is certainly a matter of pride for each and everyone. It is surely a history made.

Let us get to know the schedule of events for Mr. Obama's inauguration as the 44th President of the US (what if we can't be there for the ceremony, right???) -

8 a.m. (6.30 p.m. IST): Gates to the inaugural ceremony on the West Front of the US Capitol open.
10 a.m. (8.30 p.m. IST): The inaugural festivities start. Two-hour programme includes musical selections and invocation by Rev. Rick Warren.
11.45 a.m. (10.15 p.m. IST): Joe Biden is sworn in as vice president.
12 noon (10.30 p.m. IST): Barack Obama takes the oath of office as president using Abraham Lincoln's inaugural Bible.
12.05 p.m. (10.35 p.m. IST): President Obama gives the inaugural address.
12.30 p.m. (11 p.m. IST): After his inaugural address, Obama escorts outgoing President George W. Bush to a departure ceremony.Attends a luncheon in the Capitol's Statuary Hall.
2.30 p.m. (1 a.m. IST): The 56th Inaugural Parade makes its way down Pennsylvania Avenue from the Capitol to the White House.Later that day, the Presidential Inaugural Committee will host 10 official inaugural balls.

(PS: I got this data from a website.)

It is being said that more than one million people flooded the capital to watch the swearing-in of the country’s first black President.I wish I could have been there. For me, this is a sensational victory for the not only the blacks but for each and everyone. All the racial boundaries will have to get dissolved and vanished with this!!

Obama has sworn-in as the 44th President and he is the FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT and he has made history. It might sound stupid, but I am personally so happy after his victory. This victory in itself is an answer to the whites’ thinking of their being the most superior and premium race in the world. This man, Barack Obama, seems genuinely an honest man. His intentions (i.e. working towards the welfare of his country) can be clearly seen on his face!

I personally wish Mr. Barack Obama best of luck and may God shower all his choicest blessings on him and his family. May God give him strength and courage to face any obstacle that would come his way!
ALL THE BEST TO YOU MR.OBAMA... WE LOVE YOU!

PS : The collage has been made by me and it is a gift from my side to Mr. Obama. I know he won't even come to know about this collage, but I am just trying to be OPTIMISTIC.

Lets paint this picture...happily!! :)

Ah…this post is about something that I just felt 2 days back!

Read this-

“Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.”

People are like crayons I tell you…different colors.

You might come across someone who would be shrewd and all the more clever (one big devil) - BLACK is the color! You might be with a person who would be the most apt personification of silence - for such people, WHITE! Then there is this non-stop chatterbox which goes blah…and this happened and blah…and that happened and blah types…you can associate the brightest RED with such people. Oh, and then one fine day you come across a girl who is beautiful and just about a perfect mixture of sugar and spice…PINK, for such beautiful ladies.

I came across one PINKY RED girl (more of RED) a few days back. After about half an hour, I felt like running, screaming and scratching my head.

She just could not stick at one topic at a time…"Ok, lets click a picture."

And just a minute later, "Transfer this song to my phone."

And a second later, she jumped on to something else.

Such people just leave others baffled at the end of the conversation.

Then you have some extreme sort of people, for them every situation is either completely BLACK or completely WHITE. They cannot be somewhere in the middle - GREY.

Talking to such people can be hazardous. There can be no conclusion that you can satisfactorily reach to. The best way out is to agree that whatever they said was right!

I have a friend who is the purest WHITE. He rarely talks, always smiles. :)

To make such people talk can be almost like banging your head against the wall presuming that one day the wall might move. But the only thing we would be left is a broken head!!

What I actually want to say is that you'll find many people coming into your life. But it’s not necessary that you have to like each one of them. Some people might make you feel that you are so special, some might leave you feeling frustrated and some might actually drive you crazy that you would almost feel like killing them. But that is not something that can be or should be done.

One has to learn to mingle with every color, the RED or the PINK or the WHITE or even the BLACK. No matter whichever color pops in, we should know how to make a rainbow out of it. This is what even I would try from now on.

Let all of us get rid of the hatred and any sort of grudges that we ever had for anybody, accept everyone as they are and still live happily.

One request-

Never let the smile fade away from anybody's face. It’s easy to hurt someone but it is very difficult to make that person smile once again.

FEAR !!!

Well all of us have some sort of fears with in us.

My fear is of heights and then off water..

Some time we think about your fears and we are like Oh My God ( Remember Janice from Friends.. ) Whyyyyy me !!!!!

Thats exactly how I felt when I picked up my friend Danilo call me today at 8am.

Why the fear? and that feeling.. ?
Well I don't know how to swim and all my friends from univ ( to be precise my dept or the lab as we call it ) decided to take up White Water Rafting at River Tummel and thats considered like Grade 4/5 rafting depending on the water level let out from the dam which is the highest level allowed for commercial purpose.

And I convinently ( or rather purposefully ) forgot about it.
But to no luck.
Considering I got ppl to remind me about it.
So here I am sitting and panicking oh my god , oh my god.. !!
And it was sooooo early in the morning.. but to no avail.
My friend Ruth came to pick me up on the way and I had Danilo and Flavia ( his wife ) in the same car going dont worry.. you wont die of drowing.. For which my snorting come back was if I did would come back to haunt you and my death would be on your conscious.

Anyways we reached this place which is between Perth and Inverness , a good hours drive from Dundee.
Got our gear , the boat and our Instructor ( very important ).

And we started our journey.. with the water..
And with all the up's and down.. getting stuck on the rocks..
I realised it wasn't actually too bad..

The place was sooo beautiful.. and so calm and peaceful.. with the occasional rush of water.. but otherwise it was justt great.. and a nice way of unwinding and relaxing one-self.

And with that came another realisation , why was I so afraid to be in the water and go for rafting, considering we all had protective gear and the safety was given immense importance..



Guess it was just a thought that cropped into my head wanting me to stop from trying different things..
Just that small word of cautious that sometimes things might get dangerous. But then its cool..
Because no life is without a challenge.
And some time or the other you do have to overcome once's fear.
