बस यूँ ही किसी शून्य में खो जाना है ।

"बस यूँ ही किसी शून्य में खो जाना है ।"
इस अनंत सागर में ,
जहाँ तुम देखती हो ,
तो मैं पलकें झुका लेता हूँ ,
और जब मैं देखता हूँ ,
तो अनंत सागर मुझ में कहीं समा जाता है !
.
.
सुना है कुछ खोखली सी हो गई हो ,
जिन्हें दोस्त कहती हो ,
वहीं बताते हैं -
ऊपर से हसीन हो पर मन में खोट हज़ार है ।
.
.
कैसा है यह शून्य मानों ,
सब कुछ इसमें समा गया है -
तुम्हारा अस्तित्व , मेरा वजूद
सब यह अनंत सागर ही तो है ।
.
.
मिलना निश्चित है ,
इस रिश्ते की सफलता कठिन है
लिखते है हम मसरूफ़ होकर,
नामुमकिन कुछ भी नहीं।
कुछ भी नहीं।
.
.
एक दिन सूरज ढल जाएगा,
जितना अकेलापन है
सब तर जाएगा। यह बस ख्याल ही तो है,
कमबख्त,
एक दिन तो तू भी मर जाएगा ।
.
.
अस्तित्व की लड़ाई में ,
इस कदर चक्रव्यूह में फसा है-
जहां मैं हूँ पर तुम नहीं
बस तुम्हारे तन का सहारा है ।
इस बंजर बस्ती में, एक तिनके का सहारा है।
.
.
देखो देखो इस असीम बादलों के बीच ,
एक नन्ही सी चिड़िया
उड़ने को बेकरार है ,
घर उसका भी वहीं बस्ता है,
जहाँ साथ तेरा मेरा छूठा है,
न जाने फिर कैसी यह रुसवाई है ?
.
.
सब कुछ यहीं ढल जाएगा !
तेरे तन से मेरा रिश्ता
एक दिन सब बिखर ही तो जाएगा।
फिर कैसी यह शय्या है
जो तुमने संजो कर रखी है?
उड़ान भरने मे संकोच क्यों झलक रहा है?
.
.
सोचता हूँ कुछ यादों को समेट कर रख लूँ, न जाने कब यह सब
इस शून्य में बिखर जाएगा ।
अनंत सागर में समा जाएगा ।
बस एक दिन सब खो जाएगा !
.
.
बस यूँ ही किसी शून्य में खो जाना है ।
इस अनंत सागर में ,
जहां तुम देखती हो ,
तो मैं पलकें झुका लेता हूँ ,
और जब मैं देखता हूँ ,
तो अनंत सागर मुझ में कहीं समा जाता है !

Art of Judging People V/S Fear of Getting Judged

Do you ever stop yourself from doing something just because of “ log kya kahenge ”? I do! In fact, I’ve judged myself more than anyone else ever has. There are days when we judge others, but the harshest judgment often comes from within. My own vision shackled me with invisible chains.  A constant fear that kept me from being myself: Fear of dancing in public. Fear of getting clicked (what if I look old, not good enough?). Fear of wasting potential, of not living up to “standards.” The Weight of Opinions Over time, these fears weren’t even mine. They were borrowed from the world around me: Too much affection in public? "Wrong. Don't do it!" Getting drunk? “Good people, don’t do that.” Dating someone? “Weren’t you supposed to make it big, first?" Our society writes invisible rules, and we live inside that 10x10 room of opinions. The walls keep closing in, until one day people say, “ Aadmi acha tha, potential bohot tha, bura hua! ” The Circle of Judgement The circle o...

The Growing Bud

"She was like a mirror, too fragile to handle but still helps to reflect till her last shattered piece mixes with sand dust!" Yes, you read it right. She was too fragile to handle. But she was the one who was around me during all the tough times. Maybe we belong to a different community or culture but she understood me more than the one who classifies under the same banner as 'I'. She was someone special! No, not a lover she was. She was the one who always cared the most. A kind of true friend.The one you find in a lifetime or more. Maybe she was confused with someone else but a true 'girl   friend' she is. See, I left a space between that word and I really meant that. Space I left here, ain't a stereotype but a space that is to be filled when I gonna realise that finally, I could pay her debt. The debt for being so supportive and caring towards me.A kind of best protagonist type from a happy ending Bollywood movie where good triumphs over evil....

Disparaging Own Individuality!

Blue as the sky Or, blue as the ocean? Seamless water, Or, lucid cloudy sky? .. Pretentious profanity Or, ostentatious fidelity? Prickly revelations, Aiding smothering shambles! .. Ahaan? Seems like the night's going to hit hard! .. Confining yourself to Minuscule trickling stream of thoughts? Or, making out a way Far away From all the superposed apprehensions? ...... Isn't it funny to see a pattern In all the disclosures? When all you need is a chance of "self-closure". Where, your very own insatiable self-ego, No more asks for a heavyweight set of apologies , For every gesture that was a move towards disparaging own "individuality"! .. It's funny, I know. That's what you're thinking. If not you, maybe most of them are. And even, when not "the most" of them are! I, still am! And that's not even the worst part. .. But, the worst part is I love the cliffhangers Or, maybe that's how I have groomed myself over the years. Trying to ...
