Festival of Lights-Deepawali

Just wanting an old poem to share which u might have read somewhere...


फिर आ गयी है दीपावली
जगमग है हर घर, जगमग है हर गली|

इतनी रोशनी देखकर, रोशनी इतरा उठी
और बोली अंधेरे से, कि
ए अंधेरे अब बता, तेरा वजूद है कहाँ
अंधेरे ने कहा, “ए रोशनी, मत इतनी इतरा

                           |


मै हूँ यहाँ, मैं हूँ वहांजरा देख उस अनाथ मासूम कि आँखों में ,
उसके आँखों के अंधेरे को इस रोशनी से मतलब है क्या?
जरा देख उन बेघर भूखों को,
उनकी पेट की आग इन पटाखों से कम है क्या?

और अब देख इन रोशनी करने वाले दिलों में,
घृणा , द्वेष और ईर्ष्या , सब ही तो है यहाँ,
फिर कहाँ है इनमे रोशनी की जगह|
अब बता ए रोशनी, तू है कहाँ?
मै हूँ यहाँ , मैं हूँ वहां|
तू है कहाँ, तू है कहाँ?”

तुमने तो जलाये पटाखे, इनकी दीपक की औकात ना थी|
क्या गुनाह है आखिर उनका, जिनके चूल्हों में भी आग ना थी||

Everything Happens For a Reason...

                  Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, they serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become.You never know who these people may be; your roommate, your neighbor, professor, long lost friend, lover or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.
And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, will power of heart.

               Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments or true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of the soul. Without these small tests, if they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smooth paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. Safe and comfortable but dull and really pointless.

               The people you meet who affect your life , they are the ones who create who you are. Even the bad experience can be learned from... Those lessons are the hardest and probably the most important ones.If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart... forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them.

              Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

I wish you all the best in your endeavors as well as struggles in life. Have a fighting spirit and never hesitate to get back in the struggle!  

Life's Stride....

                                                        

I stand at a sea side

and think deep inside

Why not people feel d words still unspoken                       
Why cant dey spare d moments wid deir loved ones
Why dey worry n drenched in pain
Why can't they enjoyably dance in rain
I closed my eyes with a deep impact
pondering on d fanatcies i just had
I all alone with company of my thoughts
Life being spice of smile n tears n magic of love n hope
If I chose to b hostile and upset
I ll live a life wid utmost regret
If I need to steer my life
Forgetting all fear I need to strife
In the path of joy n bliss
My only Lyf...I don't want to miss...
