Another One after long time..

Chhalchhalati ankhon mei naye khwabon ki tarah,
Sawaalon ki bheed mei jawaabon ki tarah,
Is rangeen nagari mei jahan aashiyaan nahi milta,
Chand rupayon mei bhi hum jeete hai zindagi nawabon ki tarah! :)

छलछलाती आँखों में नए ख्वाबों की तरह,
सवालों की भीड़ में जवाबों की तरह,
इस रंगीन नगरी में जहाँ आशियाँ नहीं मिलता,
चंद रुपयों में भी जीते हैं हम ज़िन्दगी नवाबों की तरह| :)

The Sunshine Smile! :)o

When I feel low and has no where to go,
When we have small small fights,
and worries keep me up all night,
When I am all in my blues,
and why things are happening I have no clue
The one thing that cheers me in a while,
Is your Sunshine Smile.

When things keep people confused,
Among the things one has to choose,
Life's not always very fair,
Everyone has a part of sorrow to share,
Facing odds with a smile is the style,
But I miss the Sunshine Smile.

When things go upside down,
Tension is all around,
Solutions to the problems you don't know,
And to seek them you don't know where to go,
Keep your spirits bright,
Everything's gonna be alright.
Keeping your faith strong is worthwhile,
I wish you the Sunshine Smile.

Still Waiting..

It feels like just yesterday when you left me and went away,
It was my promise that no matter what, I will stay.
Its been so long that you are gone,
The only option left for me was to move on.

Don't know why I have not cried,
It was so shocking, that my tears had dried.
It was your call to let everything go by,
It was you who wanted that I should not even cry.

Though time has passed and things have changed,
All the mess that happened,looks now is arranged.
I smile more often and talk even more,
I have a spark in my eyes and I don't look sore.

But if you look back you can see me standing there where you had left,
"I'll stay", was my promise that I have kept.

For me at that very moment life had paused,
I could still feel all that what your presence had caused,
When I think about your smile, my heart still skips a beat,
Even in the cold your thought makes me feel the heat.

You filled my life with all the twists and turns,
But my heart still wait for you to return,
Please come back and hold me tight,
Just tell me once that everything's all right.

All I Knew..


When I was a little girl,I never really knew..
from where the sun comes, and finally where it goes.

All I knew that it looked beautiful,
All I knew that birds will sing,
Though I loved the moonlit sky,
But I liked the sun comming in.

I know now that sun is always there,
I don't care about the singing birds,
Coz now I hardly see the rising sun,
Its been long, since any chirping I had heard.

When I was a little girl, the rain drops fascinated me..
The tiny drops pouring down the sky made me wonder,
Why the tap is left turned on, is the God so busy?

All I knew was to run out and dance in the rain,
All I knew was water made me feel good,
I liked making the paper boats,
and loved to see them float.

I know now the theory of evaporation,
And I don't run out to play,
I don't like waitin for the rain to stop,
As m worried what if I get late.

When I was a little girl, I wanted to touch the rainbow..
I wondered how all the colors bend,
It started right above my head, just wanted to see where it ends.

All I knew was it will come after the rain,
All I knew was I have to search the sky,
Always wanted to ride my bike on it,
It made me sad when it went out of sight.

I know now what is refraction,
I know why the colors bend this way,
I have long forgot about its existence,
These days I don't turn my head so high.

When I was a little girl, I always wanted to fly..
Freedom of the birds was what I looked for,
Wanted to see places, from where I never pass by.

All I knew was clouds are very soft,
All I knew was breeze was cold,
I liked making paper air planes,
And I loved to race them against the blue sky.

I know now I can buy air tickets,
And I know one needs wings to fly,
I avoid the unneccesary travel,
When I want a change I just go near by.

I ponder now about my exitence,
But there was a time when I used to live,
Now I am busy trying to get everything,
But there was a time when I use to give.

I have changed like a season,
But I know its still a part of me,
This is not what I thought of my life,
The same little girl is what I want to be.

Nostalgia!
Milte hain or bicchad jate hain log.. fir bhi bahut yaad ate hain log, bhuli bisri yaadon se nikalkar kabhi muskaan bante hain.. to kabhi aankhon se chhalak jate hain ye log

RaNdOm ViChAaR ?!?

Udhaar ki zindagi

kiraye ka makaan

packet bhar umeed

or soch ki udaan

muskurati aankhein

gungunate honth

pehli barish

or wo pehli chot

thandi si dhup

or chilchilati sardi

khuli khuli raahein

or local ki gardi

Appraisal ka tension

rishtedaron ka vaar

mummy daddy ko chadha

meri shaadi ka bukhar

kuch sacchi si baatein

kuch random se shabd

ye maine likhe hain

main bhi hu stabdh

CrOwD hAs No FaCe
I am not a regular local train commuter, so I always try not to board the train at rush hours. Though, there are times when I am left with no choice but to board the train. Yesterday (9^th Dec 09)was one such day when I had no choice but to board the 5:33 p.m Virar local which was running late and hence touched Andheri station at 6:00 p.m. Hence the crowd which is usually divided into 2 trains was waiting for this one to come. I had some important work at Mira Road and was already running late so had no choice but get into the train. My cousin who has hardly travelled in locals, and even if she had, then it was not in rush hours was scared that how will she be able to step into the train where people are already hanging outside the train. I just told her to trust the restless public which was waiting on the platform and stand somewhere in the middle of the crowd.

People who have an experience of travelling in Mumbai locals can understand the importance of standing somewhere in the middle of the crowd. And also know that Virar local is the most notorious local because of its crowd. I’ll not blame the crowd though, as the frequency of Virar local is very less and large number of people travel on this route. Hence, junta travelling upto Borivali is not welcome in this train. I was lucky enough as I had to go to Mira Road which is 2 stations ahead of Borivali hence on being asked where I have to get down no one shouted at me.

Travelling till Goregaon was fine as I managed to get place to keep both my feet flat on the floor of the train. But by the time train touched Kandiwali, the train compartment turned into a suffocating carbon-di-oxide gas chamber with smell of sweat in the air. A tiring day, little bit of weakness and Virar local was the perfect set up for the feeling of dizziness and nausea to circumvent me.

I requested a lady to let me sit in her place for 5 mins as her place was close to the window. But in the meantime she vacated that place for me, my hands suddenly went numb. For few seconds I went blank and was not in a state to understand what was happening around. My sis got scared as what to do. Before she could react to the situation I could hear many questions being asked to me. Some asked whether I am fasting or do I have some medical history but along with this question round I could see so many hands filled with food items and water, extended towards me, just to help me and make me feel comfortable in that fully packed Virar local. Some were rubbing my hands and feet and some fanning. Those people even vacated one entire berth so that I can comfortably lie down and rest. It was nothing less than a miracle to get a place to lie down and rest where people could not even find place to stand. In those few minutes I could feel that God has sent so many angels who are surrounding me.

I could not see anyone’s face as there was so much of crowd. The only thing I can remember is just that crowd, extending their help and support to a person whom they don’t know and probably will never see again in their lives.
